Walmart Shorts and Pants Haul!

Are you already a Walmart fashion shopper? If yes, awesome to hear it, what a smarty pants you are! If not, I hope this post shows you some great affordable options that you might think about trying out! Walmart has really stepped up their fashion game over the last few years and I find myself buying tooo much from there now! hahaha!

Anyways, hope you enjoy my haul! All links to shop are under each picture as well as fit tips and a description. When it comes to shorts, I tend to size up if in between. Nothing looks worse than having too tight of shorts. So when in doubt I go up. Who cares what the tag says my friends! I appreciate you shopping through my links as it allows me to bring in more items to show you. Thank you for reading and for your support!

Tee // Shorts // Similar Sandals (mine are out of stock) // Necklaces

Let’s start off casual with a GREAT pair of denim shorts! Nice and stretchy, not too short, and the hem is tacked so they won’t unroll! My exact tee comes in and out of stock but there are other graphic options too!

FIT TIPS: Tee TTS L. It has a relaxed fit. Shorts I am in between sizes so I went up as I don’t like tight shorts. They have plenty of stretch though so TTS should be good.

Left look: Shorts // Tank // Blazer // Necklaces // Similar Shoes

Right look: Shorts // Band Tee // Jacket // Necklaces // Shoes // Handbag // Sunglasses

Believe it or not, in both looks I’m wearing the same exact trouser shorts! Trouser shorts and pants are trending this spring! They are so versatile. I dressed them up on the left and down on the right. Walmart is a great place to give this trend a try! I love the longer length!

FIT TIPS: Left look: Shorts I am in between sizes so I went up to L, but TTS will be fine. Tank size up. Blazer TTS. Right look: Shorts I am in between sizes so I went up to L, but TTS will be fine. Tee TTS or size up for more oversized. Jacket TTS L. Sandals TTS.

Shorts // Tank // Necklaces // Bag on right // Shoes on left // Similar Shoes on right

These utility cuff shorts are the perfect length at a 4” inseam. Best part for me is the pockets! I hate when pockets stick out on the side. These lay flat. There is also stretch at the back waistband which makes them super comfy and perfect for tucking in tops!

FIT TIPS: Shorts I am in between sizes so I went up, but TTS will be just fine. Tank size up. Sandals on left I am TTS but many people size up half.

Pants // Tank // Jacket // Necklaces // Similar flip flops

Ladies, can you believe parachute pants are back?! I owned these back in the day! Such a comfy fit! I was on the hunt for a non cropped denim jacket and this one is perfect. It has a boyfriend fit which is more on trend this spring.

FIT TIPS: Tank size up. Jacket TTS L. Pants run a little big. I’m in L but M would have been better.

Tank // Jeans // Middle Kimono // Right Cardigan // Sandals // Necklaces

I LOVE THESE JEANS! Sorry I’m yelling but darn it these are good! I love a cropped jean. I am 5’7” for reference. The middle kimono and sandals are also awesome Walmart finds!! That kimono would even make a nice swim cover up!

FIT TIPS: Jeans I sized up based on reviews. They run a bit small however they do stretch a bit with wear. Tank size up. Middle kimono TTS L. Right cardigan TTS L. Sandals TTS.

Tank // Pants // Shoes //Necklaces

Love this softer take on the cargo pant! They are nice and lightweight and have the prettiest feminine ruching and tie and the hems. I own two pairs of these sandals and the style is right on trend this season!

FIT TIPS: Tank size up. Pants TTS L. Sandals TTS.

I hope you enjoyed this Walmart haul. Be sure to follow me on Facebook and Instagram !

Swim Haul 2023

It’s the fun time of year when we have vaca’s and summer weather on our minds! I ordered up a bunch of swimsuits and coverups and can’t wait to share them with you!

Let me start off with a *full disclaimer. I am not a swimsuit model, nor do I claim to be. I am a 43 year old Mom! I enjoy going to the gym and eating healthy but I also enjoy visiting my fave local brewery (Skyline) and I rarely pass up dessert. LOL. If you are in the market to see swimsuits on a regular sized gal like myself, you are in the right place! I typically wear size 10 in pants, M/L in tops, bust 36C, and I typically wear L or 10/12 in swimsuits and jackets. I am 5’7”.

I don’t do cheeky swimsuits so all of these will be mid to full coverage bottoms. I also am NOT busty (haha!) so my suits don’t need extra support up top. When I comment TTS, that just means that the garment fit me True to Size. Many times when I order swimsuits, I order my TTS and a size up to decide what fit I like best. You may want to try ordering that way too. Swimsuits are personal and we are all different shapes and sizes. I do my best to help on sizing but I also HIGHLY recommend you to check reviews to see if any reviewers have similar measurements to you to help you on sizing as well.

All details and links to shop will be below each pic. I also tried to include a coverup and accessories option for each swimsuit! I appreciate your support by ordering through my links. Please be sure to follow me on Facebook to get more fashion ideas and to ask any questions you may have! I also post on Instagram so be sure to follow there too! I hope you are getting excited for an upcoming vacation! Now let’s get to the fun part!

Swimsuit // Coverup Pants // Flip Flops // Hoop Earrings

Well I’m starting off with my FAVE swimsuit of the whole haul! The print is gorgeous and this suit is just so flattering! You can wear it strapless or as a halter tie around your neck. I preferred to tie it around my neck because it gives the girls a lift and this Momma needs it! LOL! These coverup pants are so comfy and versatile for the beach or pool to bar! So affordable too!

FIT TIPS: Swimsuit fits TTS. I’m wearing size L. Pants run a bit big. Size down if in between. I fit in both M and L in the pants but ended up keeping the L because I liked the length better. I am 5’7”. Flip Flops fit TTS.

Swimsuit // Coverup // Flip Flops // Hat // Bag

The scalloped detail is so pretty on this swimsuit! It does flip over occasionally so if that would bother you then pass. I love it though and I feel like little mermaid in it! haha! I like that it gives the look of a two piece but is a one piece! The coverup is perfect for wearing around a resort or to the beach. Plenty of coverage but still airy! Don’t forget a hat for your next trip! I own this one in two colors now!

FIT TIPS: Swimsuit fits TTS. I’m wearing size L. Coverup is a one size fits all and comes in many colors! Flip Flops fit TTS. Hat fits average to larger sized noggins. If you have a smaller head you may want to pass.

Swimsuit // Coverup // Flip Flops

This swimsuit has been a page fave for some time! You might already own one! I certainly do! I think I own 5 at this point! Love the print on this coverup! This one will work great with any swimsuits with high necks or one shoulders!

FIT TIPS: Size up if in between in the swimsuit! Coverup is a one size fits all. Flip Flops fit TTS.

Swimsuit // Coverup Pants // Bag // Flip Flops // Hat // Sunglasses

This swimsuit was a surprise LOVE! I don’t typically wear two pieces because I carry my weight around my middle but the high waist bottoms helps with coverage and the colors in the print are so fun!! I will mention though that you may need a second person to help you buckle the top. I had my hubby do it for me.

FIT TIPS: This suit fit me TTS in a size L. Pants run a bit big. Size down if in between. I fit in both M and L in the pants but ended up keeping the L because I liked the length better. I am 5’7”. Flip Flops fit TTS. Hat fits average to larger sized noggins. If you have a smaller head you may want to pass.

Swimsuit // Coverup // Shorts // Hat // Sunglasses // Flip Flops // Bracelets

I had to show both pics for this swimsuit as it is so versatile!! It’s a pricier suit but you can feel the quality. Super comfortable. One reviewer said the strap in the back twisted a bit on them which mine does too but it is a thin strap and not noticeable or a deal breaker for me. This blue coverup is MY FAVE of this haul! Fitted, comfy, sexy and the color is so FUN! I ordered 3 different pairs of denim shorts and these were my fave of them all. They are more rigid not super stretchy so they will hold their shape better. Great length and perfect over swimsuits! Fun bracelet stack is so colorful and perfect with a tan! Mine is a spray tan but that’s the only way for me to tan. hahaha!!

FIT TIPS: Swimsuit ran a bit large on me (especially in the bust) so I’d size down if in between. Coverup was TTS on me. I’m in size L. It is meant to be more fitted. (SO CUTE) Flip flops are TTS. Shorts TTS but size up if inbetween.

Coverup 1 // Coverup 2 // Coverup 3

Last up I wanted to show you 3 more coverup ideas!! First one has a boho look! Second has such a pretty print and very comfy to wear! The last one is so classic and love the crochet detail!

FIT TIPS: Coverup 1 is a one size fits all. Coverup 2 fits big. I’m in a M with room so size down! Coverup 3 is one size fits all.

I hope you enjoyed this haul! Bring on summer!

xoxo,

Affordable Swim Haul!

My hubby was wondering what all the deliveries were? Ummm….swimsuits! haha! I buy and try on many styles and sizes to show you the best of the best here!

Let me start off with a *full disclaimer. I am not a swimsuit model, nor do I claim to be. I am a 42 year old Mom to two boys. I enjoy going to the gym and eating healthy but I also enjoy beer and dessert. LOL. If you are in the market to see swimsuits on a regular sized gal like myself, look no further!! I typically wear size 10 in pants, M/L in tops, bust 36C, and I typically wear L or 10/12 in swimsuits and jackets. I am 5’7”. When I comment TTS, that just means that the garment fit me True to Size. Many times when I order swimsuits, I order my TTS and a size up to decide what fit I like best. You may want to try ordering that way too. Swimsuits are personal and we are all different shapes and sizes. I do my best to help on sizing but I also HIGHLY recommend you to check reviews to see if any reviewers have similar measurements to you to help you on sizing as well.

All details and links to shop will be below each pic. I also tried to include a coverup and accessories option for each swimsuit! I appreciate your support by ordering through my links. Please be sure to follow me on Facebook to get more fashion ideas and to ask any questions you may have! I hope you are getting excited for a trip or summer break! Now let’s get to the fun part!

Swimsuit // Left Coverup // Right Coverup // Sunglasses // Sandals // Star Necklace

This swimsuit has a beautiful back that I did a terrible job taking a pic of, so head over to the above link to check it out! My color is deep merlot. This suit was super flattering around the middle and had nice support in the bust. It almost had a sports bra feel to me which was very comfortable. The cover up on the left is last years color combo but this years is almost exact and is linked above. Love the midi length on it! The kimono on the right is very versatile and would be great with a black tank and shorts as well as over a black dress!

FIT TIPS: Swimsuit runs snug. I’d size up or at least size up if in between. Many reviewers sized up as well. Coverup on the left runs big, so size down. I’m in the S/M. Kimono on the right is one size. Sandals I am TTS, but many reviewers size up half.

Swimsuit // Coverup // Hat // Sunglasses // Star Necklace // Flip Flops

This is my fave suit of the entire swim haul! I already owned this style in black but this red rose print is just stunning! It’s a great suit for moms chasing kids but is also super sassy! It easily transitions to poolside drinks after a busy day! My hat is the 01-fold belt khaki. I’ve owned it for awhile and it travels well. Sunnies were my fave pair from my recent Quay haul!

FIT TIPS: Swimsuit runs snug. Size up. Cover up is one size. Flip flops size up for half sizes.

Swimsuit // Similar Coverup // Another Similar Coverup // Sunglasses // Star Necklace // Flip Flops

Well I liked this suit so much I bought it in a few colors! This one is called Green Leaves and has major Lilly Pulitzer vibes but for a more affordable cost! My exact cover up is sold out but I found some similar options! Sunnies are the non polarized gold/gold combo!

FIT TIPS: Swimsuit runs snug. Size up. Flip flops size up for half sizes.

Swimsuit // Coverup // Star Necklace // Flip Flops

Ok ok I promise this is the last color in this suit! But isn’t it gorgeous?! This one is the royal blue! Coverup is a fun print and is called Blue! It also would be cute over a white tank top and shorts! Very versatile!

FIT TIPS: Swimsuit in the solid color ran not as tight as the prints. I’d size up if in between though. Coverup runs big. Size down. Flip flops size up for half sizes.

Swimsuit // Sarong Coverup // Hat // Sunglasses // Star Necklace // Flip Flops

So if you are looking for a sexy suit for a ladies getaway or an Anniversary weekend, this one is it! It is low cut and super cheeky. So pass if that’s not your thing! It is very comfortable though!! I think I’d prefer this one with a little sarong (this one is a steal) or with a pair of cutoff shorts! The ruffles are adorable and looks like a chic bodysuit!

FIT TIPS: Swimsuit size up if in between. Sarong size down if in between. I’m in a L but M likely would have been fine. Flip flops size up for half sizes.

Swimsuit // Similar Coverup // Another Similar Coverup // Sandals // Hat // Star Necklace // Earrings

Last look is perfect for a casual day! This suit has nice coverage and I loved this fun print! Hat has been a page best seller! Great price and so easy to throw in your tote or beach bag! Can’t go wrong with these $10 sandals too!

FIT TIPS: Swimsuit size up if in between. Sandals size up for half sizes.

Hope you enjoyed this affordable swimsuit haul!

FIT TIPS: Top I’d say TTS. I’m in a L. Jeans TTS. Tank size down. Mules size up if in between.

I had a hard time deciding which shacket color combo to keep. I ended up with the first one that had a little black and camel in it, but both were very nice!

FIT TIPS: Shacket TTS. I’m in the M in the first pic and L in the 2nd. I liked the M best. Billabong Rose Tee TTS, size down if in between. I’m in a L with room. Jeans size up. Mules size up if in between.

Both of these flannels came home with me! LOVE them! They are meant to be oversized and look great tucked into a high waist pair of jeans! Speaking of jeans these are from Good American Jeans and very flattering on the leg. They have just a smidge of distressing at the hem!

The Skinny on the Non-Skinny jeans!

So we’ve all heard the scoop that skinny jeans are making their way out. Personally I don’t see them going away but I do think it’s ok to try something new as long as you find good options that are flattering and make you feel your best! I decided to order a crap ton of non-skinny jeans, weed through the duds, and show you the ones that I think might work for you depending on what you are looking for. Styles are mostly boyfriend fit, slim fit and more relaxed Mom jeans, distressed, and non distressed. Prices range from $18-$89 and are from American Eagle, Walmart, Old Navy, and Kut from the Kloth. I’ll give a quick review and fit tips under each pic. I’ll also have a reels video clip that shows all the pairs going up on Instagram shortly so keep an eye out there! My size in jeans these days is a 10 for reference. Some pairs may have limited sizes so be sure to follow me on my Facebook Page as I will be sure to post restocks there! For the sake of consistency I wore the same top and shoes with each pair. These are the shoes. You may have to type in "foreseen" for the style to come up. I typ wear shoe size 8.5-9 and I am wearing the 9's. My top is in and out of stock. I wear it in size L. And here we go…

AE Tomgirl Jean - Medium Destroy // #1 These are a relaxed, chill, non distressed jean. Lower rise, slouchy, cotton with no stretch. These might be a bit too slouchy for me personally but I think it depends on the look you are going for. FIT TIP: TTS. I ordered a size up because at AE I sometimes have to size up, but I think I would have been fine TTS as I have room in these.

AE Mom Jean - Cool Classic // #2 These are a higher waisted true Mom Jean. They have a comfort stretch waist band and are a relaxed slouchy fit. No stretch in the leg. They have nicely placed holes at the knees. I really like this pair as I’m a distressed jeans gal and with the slouchier fit, they are really quite comfy compared to skinnies. FIT TIP: TTS

Kut from the Kloth Lauren Crop // #3 Sizes are getting limited in my color but this color is in stock. This pair has a much slimmer leg than the above two pairs. No distressing either. If you are on the shorter side, I think you will like these. Some cropped jeans aren’t short enough but these are a nice short crop. They have stretch and a mid rise. Very flattering on the leg. Kut makes great jeans so you get what you pay for here. FIT TIP: TTS.

Kut from the Kloth Elizabeth Crop // #4 These are cropped but if you are on the shorter side I’d pass as they will be too long on you. I am 5’7” and I love the slightly cropped length on me. I actually really love these jeans. They are a great quality and have a similar relaxed vibe to the AE pair #1 but is less full in the leg and are very comfortable. They have no distressing in the front but the back hem near ankle has a fun pop of distressing. FIT TIP: Size down if in between.

Walmart No Boundaries Mom Jeans - Medium Wash // #5 Ok this pair and the next pair are legit $18 at Walmart. I LOVE them! If you are new to Mom jeans, these should be what you try. Super flattering, nice big knee holes, high rise, and just look great on! FIT TIP: Don’t get stuck on a number here. These are junior sizing. You will NEED to size up one from your adult/missy size in order for these to fit. Reviewers say the black runs even smaller so keep that in mind. Get the size right here and you’ll want all the colors! Cut the label out if you don’t like the #. No one gives a shit though I promise. ;)

Walmart No Boundaries Mom Jeans - light wash // #6 Ok this pair is the same pair as the above but in a lighter wash and again only $18 at Walmart. Let me tell you…this wash with a sweet tan on your legs, and you’ll be a smoke show! FIT TIP: Don’t get stuck on a number here. These are junior sizing. You will NEED to size up one from your adult/missy size in order for these to fit. Reviewers say the black runs even smaller so keep that in mind. Get the size right here and you’ll want all the colors! Cut the label out if you don’t like the #. Again, no one gives a shit I promise. ;)

Old Navy Mid Rise Boyfriend cut offs // #7 These are a great non distressed, mid rise, not too light, not too dark pair of jeans. Very comfortable. These would be a great option for a dress down Friday at work as you can easily dress this refined pair up or wear more casually. These will work great for those that have a shorter torso and don’t do so well with a higher rise. FIT TIP: TTS.

Old Navy Mid Rise Boyfriend // #8 These are a not so slouchy distressed option. Looks nice rolled or unrolled at the hem. The holes aren’t too open as well. Mid rise here so also a great option for those that don’t like a higher rise. FIT TIP: TTS, or size up if in between. These felt a smidge snugger than the above pair.

I hope you enjoyed seeing some of my non-skinny jeans finds! I really think there is something for everyone here and across many price points! If you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to DM me on my Facebook page! I’ll be happy to help! If you order any of these and want to share a pic of you rocking them, please send me a DM with your pic! I hope you all have a great week! Thank you for your support on my page!

Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2020 Try On!

Ok, so technically I can’t shop the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale until Monday, but I CAN add things to my wishlist now! So can you! You can get the full calendar of when you can shop the sale here on their site. I highly recommend you take a look at your closet to see what you have and what you could use for Fall….like really use. I am trying to stick with classic items that I will get plenty of everyday use out of considering…corona virus still making things weird this Fall. Head to Nordstrom’s Anniversary SALE PREVIEW and start adding to your wish list now so as soon as you are able to shop, you will be able to just move your items to your cart! I will be placing online orders and doing curbside pickup for this sale as I’m still not comfortable trying things on in fitting rooms. However I have many pics of returning items from last years try on that I will share here as well as new items and pics! All fit help and links to shop will be under each pic! For reference I’m typically a M/L in tops/jackets and size 10 in bottoms. Don’t forget all prices will go back up to reg prices once this sale ends! And best part is that Nordstrom is always free shipping and returns! Happy Shopping!

I am quite obsessed with this look and makes we want Fall to come soon. Jeans, booties, and a light jacket or cardigan are my jam.

BB Dakota Faux leather jacket // Originally $105, now $64.90. This one gets brought back year after year with small changes because it really is so good. Wear it to work and then wear with jeans on the weekend. FIT TIP: TTS, or size up if in between. I’m in size L.

Articles of Society Jeans // Originally $64, now $48.90. I’ve owned these jeans for years. Love the amount of distressing and the wash slims the leg. FIT TIP: Size down if in between.

Also in this look are: Similar Booties fit TTS, Tee, Sunglasses

BB Dakota Boucle Trench Coat // Originally $110, now $69.90. So I talked myself out of this one last year because I have many olive jackets, but the consensus from the ladies on my FACEBOOK PAGE was that I should have bought it. So yup, this one will be coming home with me this year! FIT TIP: TTS, or size down if in between. I’m in an L which is my normal jacket/coat size.

SHOP MY PICKS:

Budget Friendly Farmhouse Inspired Half Bath Remodel

During quarantine, my husband and I decided to tackle our half bath. It had served it’s purpose but was in need of some major updating. Please understand that we are NOT do it your selfers. I like to decorate and paint but in terms of replacing flooring, this was a new concept for us. We usually prefer to pay someone to do it the “right” way, but we felt we could handle the flooring replacement and save us some money. And while there were a few swear words (actually maybe more than a few LOL), my hubby got the flooring done and it looks amazing! I’ve linked some items within the blog post but for easy access they can ALL also be found at the end of the post in one place! Here’s the before pic.

One of the first things I did was painted. And yes I tackled it on my own. It’s a small room and I like to paint as long as I don’t have to be on a ladder! I went with the color “Agreeable Gray” by Sherwin Williams but we used Benjamin Moore Paint as a friend who is a painter really recommended the quality of paint. We ended up keeping the same vanity since it is nice quality with a granite top. Our mirror I’ve owned forever but I linked up some similar options at the end of the post! We got a new light fixture as our old one was so dated. I’ve really been enjoying the Farmhouse vibe so I picked one that looks like mason jars with an edison bulb inside. Getting the right bulb took me quite a few tries as I wanted it to look vintage but still give off enough light. I preferred the clear in soft white. We also got new blinds that look like wood.

The before and after still blows my mind. I quite enjoy using the potty now. ha! Sorry! If you know me, you know I appreciate potty and poop jokes! Anyways, let’s talk about the flooring for a minute. It’s a laminate plank flooring. My girlfriend used it in her house and it came out so beautiful. My exact color is Crestwood Gray but they discontinued it to a new name Dowden Gray. It uses the same pictures in the new version as mine. Very easy to install but of course all the angles near the doorway had my hubby losing his mind. But in terms of install…super easy and perfect Farmhouse vibe! We debated on spray painting our old vent but our old one had some rust and we found this perfect one and it was only like $15.

Now let’s get to the fun stuff! The home decor! Like I said before Farmhouse has been my jam recently and these shelves were such a great quality find and come in a set of 2. I like that they are floating shelves so the hardware doesn’t show. My color is the dark walnut but they come in a few different colors.

Styling the shelves was so much fun! This little faux potted plant is so versatile. I have them in a few spots in my home as I DO NOT have a green thumb. I love little signs and I liked the black one as it gave some nice depth. I just couldn’t help myself with the “wash your hands, ya filthy animal” one. It was an Etsy find and hand made so it took some time to ship but it was affordable and beautiful quality. All items will also be linked at the end of the post to shop easily! I also wanted to find a tidy spot for extra toilet paper and tissues as well as a new trash can. The cute rustic toothbrush holder and wall window pane finished off the look!

I hope you enjoyed a look at my affordable Farmhouse half bath remodel. Every item is linked up below. If you have any questions at all please reach out on my Facebook Page or on Instagram . I’d love for you to follow me there! I appreciate you taking the time out to stop by and read my post! Have a great week!

Recent Amazon Dress Haul!

I admittedly am not a huge dress girl. I tend to prefer rompers. However I always think dresses look so beautiful on others. I wanted to order some affordable options as there was no way I was gonna order this “non-dress girl” expensive dresses if you know what I mean. And the verdict is….consider myself officially a “newbie dress girl”! hahaha!! Stay tuned for my 3 Amazon finds that I am in LOVE with! Details and links to shop will be under all images!

This off the shoulder dress is made of a soft cotton/spandex blend! This is a good option for some of the shorter ladies. I had read that it ran a little short so I was sure to stick with size L to be sure I had enough length. I am 5’7” and tend to bounce between size M and L. The L worked perfect on me and not too short on my 5’7” frame. I’d say it runs TTS but if you are tall and in between sizes, size up. Beautiful option that can be worn more casually but also dressed up. Great idea for summer weddings, winery trips, and date nights! Many colors to choose from! Available in size XS-XL. Below are the links to shop!

Next up is this beautiful flowy summer maxi! Perfect for a beach cover up or for you ladies that love the boho look! The back of it is open and GORGEOUS as well!! This one runs on the long side and is a perfect length on me at 5’7”. My straps are adjustable though so that does help you to bring the length up a little. Another option for the ladies on the shorter side is to tie the side slits at the bottom. I’ll insert another picture below for you to see how it looks tied up. Definitely brings up the length.

This dress does run a little big as I am in a M with room. So size down if in between. Available in size S-3X

COZY FAVORITES WITH A TOUCH OF SASS

Social distancing from the fridge? Hmmm…I think not! We have been enjoying our family ice cream sundae nights around here! Hopefully the exercise is balancing it out…hopefully. Haha! One thing is for certain…the jeans are on the shelf and all my cozy favorites are on repeat around here. If you have been feeling like you want to add to your athleisure looks for while you are home, I got your back! If you are sick of wearing the old tees with holes and oversized sweatpants, stay tuned for some more polished yet super cozy looks. Might as well look cute and be comfy too right? I was just telling my girlfriends the other night on our video call that I feel more productive when I have taken time to shower, blow dry my hair…and maybe (even add a touch of lip gloss.) I have linked to all my looks under the pics. If something is out of stock, I linked to similar/related items. I hope that you and your families are all safe and healthy.

Size down if in between on my top. Size up for half sizes in my flip flops.

Ahhh…camo…we meet again. I love the soft pink tones here mixed with a pretty bralette. I own a few pair of these fleece lined socks from Ugg and they are so nice and warm for relaxing at home. I was able to find some colors are on sale too.

Links to shop the above look HERE

I love this look because it really shows how versatile these athleisure looks can be. You can wear these pieces at home for now but once we get the green light to head out you can easily transition them into wear out looks. Add a jean jacket, a cute shoe, some accessories and you easily transition from at home chic to on the go Momma!

Size up in my tee, everything else fits true to size.

Links to shop the above look HERE

Oh ladies, take advantage of the 30% off sale happening at Athleta. It ends on 4/6. This spotted sweatshirt is from there and it is SOFT. I get complimented on it every time I wear it. It was out of stock for a LONG time but it is back so snag one while the sale is active! It looks great with leggings, joggers, and jeans. Size up if in between. I’m in the L.

Links to shop the above look HERE

Many of us own these amazing fleece pullovers from Abercrombie. They come in a range of colors and I have had mine for awhile. Sometimes I don’t want to raise the heat too high at the house because I get stuffy so I’ve been opting to throw one of these on. Size up if in between. I’m in the L.

Links to shop the above look HERE

Another one of those looks that will easily transition from wear at home to wear out and about. These tees come in a 2 pack from Amazon and are a great quality. I size up. This cardigan is pricey but is by Barefoot Dreams and is like wearing the coziest robe/blanket/cardigan. Highly recommend. Cardigan and shoes fit true to size.

Links to shop the above look HERE

I love a good long sleeve tee and this one from Amazon is a beautiful quality and fits great. I kind of pulled it off the shoulder to give it a bit more sass but this can easily be worn with jeans or shorts and a regular bra. Speaking of bras…I wear one “most” of the time these days. LOL.

Tee fits true to size or size up for a more relaxed look. I’m in the L.

Links to shop the above look HERE

Seriously a great top here!! It is a soft lightweight fleece and so easy to wear. Available in many colors and prints. I wear this for nights out with jeans too. It’s a super versatile piece and is on sale right now! This little headband just makes feel cute. That is all. LOL!

Size down if in between on the top. Size up if you wear a half size in the flip flops.

Links to shop the above look HERE

These joggers are page favorites. Colors come in and out of stock. I highly recommend them in any color you can get. Super soft yet refined looking! My Birkenstocks are a great option right now for quick easy on and off.

Everything fits me true to size.

Links to shop the above look HERE

I own this top in many colors. I have owned them for YEARS! It’s so comfy and is very wear now and wear later. Looks amazing with skinny jeans and hides my tummy which is my problem area. Pair it with your favorite bralette for a sexy look.

Everything fits me true to size. Size up in the flip flops if you wear a half size.

Links to shop the above look HERE

Ah the Barefoot Dreams blanket that we all fight over in my house. It’s so soft. It’s a pricey brand but it truly is the softest, coziest material. I also recently started using the silk hair ties from SLIP and I feel like they really are better on my hair than traditional elastics. No pulling and snagging my hair. Feels great and comfy to wear.

Links to shop the above look and more cozy fav’s like my go to workout leggings, sweatshirts, blankets, mugs, accessories HERE

I hope you were inspired to put together some new at home looks and are able to get your hands on some of these pieces! Any questions, please reach out on my Facebook page.

Stay safe, healthy, and surrounded by those you love.

Target and Amazon Swimsuit Haul!

Many boxes arrived from two of my favorite places to find affordable swimsuits! I got myself a spray tan and started snapping some pics. Only sharing the best of the best here! Target has free shipping and returns and almost all pieces from Amazon ship prime!

If I wear sunglasses, can I forget that I am totally taking pics of myself in swimsuits in front of all of you? haha! Let me start off with a *full disclaimer. I am not a swimsuit model, nor do I claim to be. I am a 40 year old Mom to two boys. I enjoy going to the gym and eating healthy but I also enjoy beer and sweets. ;) LOL. If you are in the market to see swimsuits on a regular sized gal like myself, look no further!! I typically wear size 10 in pants, M in tops, and I size up to L in swimsuits and jackets. I am 5’7”. When I comment TTS, that just means that the garment fit me True to Size in my usual swimsuit size L, so I can help you with sizing and ordering. All details and links to shop will be below each pic. Please be sure to follow me on Facebook to get more fashion ideas and to ask any questions you may have! I hope you are getting excited for a trip or summer break! Now let’s get to the fun part!

Where can I start with this beauty of a suit, the pattern is just gorgeous and the tank style has a bit of a Baywatch vibe! This little tie front sarong is an affordable little coverup to give you just enough coverage for hanging poolside or at the beach! Accessories can really take your swim look up a notch. Don’t forget to add a few pieces you love! I usually add a pretty necklace and this star one is perfect for summer!

You can shop all these pieces here:

Swimsuit - Fits me TTS in my normal swimsuit size L.

Sarong Skirt - Fits me TTS in L. Mine is the black sheer.

Sunglasses

Star Necklace

Shoes options: Size up if in between in these. Mine have crystals but are limited stock so I listed some similar options below.

My shoes

Option 1

Option 2

The animal print trend is still going strong and I am TOTALLY on board!! This swimsuit has the cutest details including the side ties and the back. My hat is new and such a deal!! Throw it on after a day at the beach along with this little tie front coverup and you will be ready for beach side cocktails!

You can shop all these pieces here:

Swimsuit - I’d size down if in betweeen on this one. I am in the L with a little room, so the M may have worked too.

Cover up - TTS. I’m in L.

Initial Necklace

Hat - Mine is khaki.

My shoes - Sand patent. Size up if in between. You can also find them here.

An affordable shoe option and here.

The colors in this gorgeous suit are even more stunning in person. The details on the back are unique and sexy. This is my pick of the Target suits! I added the little tie front sarong here as well to have a cover up option!

Swimsuit - Fits me TTS in my normal swim suit size L.

Sarong Skirt - Fits me TTS in L. Mine is the black sheer.

Star Necklace

Hat - mine is khaki.

Flip Flops - Size up for half sizes.

One trend that I think is the BEST is the high waist bikini bottom. I carry my weight around my middle. It’s the first place I gain and the last place I lose. I never felt comfortable in a two piece till I discovered the amazing-ness that is the high waisted bottom! If you are on the fence, give it a whirl! This suit is the cutest with all the details and comes in other color combos if leopard isn’t your jam. This long dress is a great coverup, is super soft, and has pockets! Perfect for after a day in the sun!

You can shop all these pieces here:

Swimsuit - I am TTS in a 10.

You can shop all these pieces here:

You can shop all these pieces here:

Coverup - TTS. I’m in an L, but the M would have been fine, just shorter.

Initial Necklace

Hat - Mine is khaki.

An affordable shoe option and here - Size up if in between.

Clutch

It’s good to have a black suit available!! I ordered both of these from Amazon and they are both available in other colors too! The one on the left looks beautiful for the pic, BUT I only recommend it for those that are on the shorter side or have short torsos. I am 5’7” and this one is pulling on me as it is just too short. The one on the right is super comfy and the mesh detail is a sexy little surprise!

You can shop all these pieces here:

Suit on left - I only recommend this for the shorter ladies or ladies with short torsos. I am 5’7” and it was NOT long enough for me. I am in the size L here for reference. It is adorable though!

Suit on right - Fits me TTS in my normal swimsuit size L.

Flip Flops - Size up for half sizes.

I’m all about a fun coverup and these are both so damn sassy!! They are in and out of stock in the leopard prints but are available in other colors and prints as well!

You can shop all these pieces here:

Coverup on the left - I’m TTS in the M. I would have ordered the L for add’l length but it was outta stock. So I snagged it in the M!

Coverup on the right - In in the L here and have plenty of room. M would have been fine too. TTS.

Hat - Mine is khaki.

Flip Flops - Size up for half sizes.

Phew…that was a long one ladies!! But it is nice to keep all the swim ideas together I think!! I wanted to also post a few options that I bought last year that are back in stock this year and I highly recommend!

1. Round bag

2. Cover up - Highly recommend. I own in slit white.

3. Off shoulder swimsuit - Size up. It’s adorable!

Valentine's Day Looks with Westfield Lifestyle Magazine

So…something pretty exciting happened! Back In December, I was asked by Candice Berube, the founder of Westfield Lifestyle Magazine and Director at Lifestyle Publications, if I could put together some Valentine’s Day looks for her upcoming February issue. I was thrilled with this opportunity and got right to work as I had just a few weeks to pull together my looks! I ran to the mall and was on a mission! You ladies get me right?! haha! Towards the end of December, I had my shoot with Kat Kattler Photography here in Westfield, MA. Kat was amazing to work with! At the shoot we were also joined by The Westfield Lifestyle Publisher Danielle Barton, as well as my friend Jill McGrath for you know…emotional support! LOL!

Westfield Lifestyle February 2020

(you can see the full issue including my article about my background and see my Valentine looks by clicking above)

You can see the full issue including articles on local Westfield/Southwick businesses, recipes, and of course my full article (pg 18-19) here . The article includes a bit about my background along with both of my Valentine’s Day looks!

Now comes the fun part! The looks! All links to shop my looks are included below each image! And the good news is that many of my pieces are ON SALE! First off is my look from my Bio Picture…and you know…the color choice here certainly feels like a casual day time Val look!!

1. Pink Sweatshirt (Fits True to Size, mine is F19 Pink)

2. Vest (Fits True to Size)

3. Jeans (Fits True to Size)

4. Tote Bag

5. Boots (Size down. They run big.)

6. Sunglasses (Mine are the Silver/Grey Mirror)

Below was my first Valentine’s Look that Kat Kattler Photography shot for me! I called it the “Sexy Sweater Look” because we all like to look sexy on Valentine’s Day, but…there’s that cold weather thing that gets in the way here in New England! LOL! A little faux leather leggings and a pop of leopard are perfect for your night out!

1. Sweater (True to size or size up one like I did for a more relaxed look.)

2. Faux Leather Leggings (Size up.)

3. Boots (Size up if in between.)

4. Leopard Handbag

5. Earrings (THESE ARE A STEAL)

6. Engraveable Bar Necklace

The second look that Kat shot for me below was called the “Edgy Moto Jacket Look”. I go between softer feminine looks like the look above and edgier outfits with some attitude like the one below. I guess that kind of sums up my style actually! This look combines the edginess of the moto jacket with that feminine pop of lace from the cami. By the way on my Facebook Page, I declared this cami as the one cami every girl needs in her closet! It’s that good!

1. Jacket (Mine is True to Size. Color Ginger. It has limited sizes available in this color, but black is available at the moment.)

2. Lace Cami (True to Size.)

3. Jeans (True to Size.)

4. Booties (Size up if in between. Sizes are getting limited, so I’ll link to a similar pair below.)

5. Similar Booties

6. Starburst Earrings

7. Similar Tory Burch Handbag

I post most often there and share all kinds of sales and deals I find, looks to try, and find time for some girl chit chat and laughs!

They are a high rise button front jean that are SO FLATTERING! All the details and links to shop coming your way!

First look includes a gorgeous poncho type sweater. These have been selling out and restocking so grab one if your size is available because you don’t want to lose your chance to own it this Fall! I bought this in a few colors last year and was so happy to see this camel color! Great with jeans or black leggings and tall boots! If you love leopard, but just want a pop of it, I highly recommend this handbag from JCREW! Right now you can save 30% off of it, with code “SHOPNOW”.

Poncho Sweater (TTS in a M)

Long Sleeve Tee (I sized up one to an L for a more relaxed fit but I’d say this is TTS.)

High Rise Jeans (TTS in a 10)

Leopard handbag

Booties (TTS)

Next up is a beautiful lightweight open poncho cardigan! I love the color! It is so FALL! And so easy to pair back to black or white! Did I mention my booties are waterproof and currently on sale? Such a great heel height too. My Kendra Scott necklace is on wicked sale at the moment at Nordstrom Rack so snag one before they are gone for good!

Necklace (this is the same style but the gold is a bit more antiqued)

Last look includes another open cardigan. This one fit me a little big but I loved the length on it as it covered my booty! Perfect idea over leggings! I also think this one would be a nice wear to work option over a blouse with a pair of skinny pants.

Open Cardigan (Runs big. I’m in the M/L with plenty of room. I’d definitely size down if in between.)

I hope you enjoyed my recent haul and are getting excited for Fall weather! I know that many of you are still in warmer weather right now which is why I really like these lightweight cardigan options! They aren’t too heavy or bulky! Perfect now or go forward! I hope you enjoy your weekend! ~Liz

The SALE that everyone’s been talking about on social media is ON…are you sick of it yet?! LOL! I hope not! Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale is LIVE for Nordstrom Cardholders starting Friday July 12th! If you are not a cardholder…no worries…you can start shopping on July 19th. The sale ends on August 4th! The best thing about this sale is you get a discount on NEW FALL merchandise. It’s an opportunity to get a deal on a new pair of designer jeans, a handbag, or an amazing pair of riding boots or booties! Prices will all go up on August 5th. Thing I love most about Nordstrom - FREE SHIPPING AND RETURNS ON EVERY ORDER! Many sale items go in and out of stock so be sure to check back frequently for your size and color choice because it will likely be BACK!

Now let’s get to the FUN STUFF! I stopped into the store for a try on session and these were some of my favorites! I am also going to be adding to this post as my online orders arrive so be sure to check back throughout the sale period! As a reminder…I am typically a Size M in tops, size 8/10 in bottoms and I am 5’7” tall.

This jacket is my pick of the sale! It is from the brand Thread and Supply who is known for that amazing soft wubbly fleece. Well they added to their line this year with this amazing jacket which has the soft fleece inside. It is also available in an olive green as well. (This fit TTS. I am in a M here and like the way it fit in the body (a bit more fitted). The sleeves were on the shorter side so I flipped back the cuff. The L was a bit more generous in the body but would better accommodate a heavier sweater underneath. The L had a longer sleeve length which was nice. ) Thread and Supply Jacket

Next up is a blogger favorite of the sale! This SOFT leopard cardigan! I love that you add some spunk to any outfit just by throwing it over a basic top! The black cami is also part of the sale and the two of these make a great combo! (I’d say TTS or size up if in between in both for a more relaxed fit. The tank has no give so I preferred the roomier L.) BP Leopard Cardigan and the BP Lace Cami . P.S. my jeans here are not part of the sale, but they are pretty fabulous and flatter the leg. Size down if in between. I’m in a 29/8. Articles of Society Jeans

Next up are two lightweight jacket options. The pretty parchment colored one on the left is gorgeous and also comes in a brown option. I am TTS in an L (which is a 10-12 based on their size chart). BB Dakota faux leather moto jacket. The olive green drapey boucle trench on the right has some slight military details which gives it some edge. I am also TTS in an L (which is a 10-12 based on their size chart). BB Dakota Drapey Trench

Let’s talk amazing JEANS for a moment! I have two picks! One that is a bit of a splurge from Good American Jeans. . This is the pair I am wearing here. Here’s the deal. I have no booty. Like for real. Haha! It’s flat. I put these amazing jeans on and I was floored by the shape it gave me in the “back”. Plus they slimmed my legs out! Win win!! They are called Good Leg jeans for a reason ladies! Worth the splurge for these babies. I was TTS in a 10. Good American Good Leg Jeans. My other top choice for a non distressed pair of jeans are these two from the brand Wit & Wisdom. Their jeans are called Ab-solution and are not only super comfy but slim your tummy and are great for people who end up with that gaping at the back of their jeans. Wit and Wisdom High Waist jeans and Wit and Wisdom Skinny Jeans. I am TTS in a 10. This snap tunic sweater was so comfy and ran a little big so I’d size down if in between. I’m in a M here. Caslon tunic sweater

There were so many amazing cardigans and jackets this year and these two topped my list. The colorblock one on the left from Madewell will likely sell out! It has been so popular in the blogger world so snag one if you want to add it to your closet. It fit me TTS M, but size down if in between or if you want it less relaxed looking. Madewell Cardigan Sweater . The one on the right is just a great basic and is available in a bunch of colors. It also fits TTS M, size down if in between. Halogen Cardigan

Up next are two casual hooded pullovers! I like to feel roomy in tops like these and I sized up to L in both. The one from Nike is super comfy and will look great with some leggings or joggers. Nike Hoodie . The one on the right is from North Face and I love the extra details on this one!! The North Face Fleece Hoodie

Next up are two North Face Parkas! I sized up to an L in both! I love the quilted one so much! One of my favorite details is that the fabric is matte not shiny at all. North Face Metro Parka . The Olive green parka is an everyday waterproof option and available in other colors as well. North Face Ancha Parka

More shoe finds of the sale coming your way! These Vince Camuto cutout sandal will go fast! Perfect to wear now and into early Fall. The studded Steve Madden flats come in a few color combos and have been very popular this sale. They keep coming in and out of stock so keep an eye on them as your size will likely come back! Two of my Ugg pics from the sale are these babies! The casual Ugg bootie is down to less than $100 and are so great for easy on and off all winter. And this is the time to pick up a new pair of UGG slippers at a deal!

Up next are these Madewell Spotted Mules. These were TTS for me and are going to go with so much! Even a great wear to work shoe too! They also come in solids too. Madewell Mules Solid .

Without fail, Nordstrom always brings a fabulous boot from Born to their NSALE! This year did not disappoint with these!! If you are looking for an everyday pair of boots, these are them! I have pairs from their last two years and they still look amazing! They fit TTS. Born Boots

Last year I took advantage and picked up an almost identical Tory Burch Crossbody Bag. I wear mine all the time! I’m thinking about snagging this years in black! Highly recommend! Tory Burch Mini Everly Bag

Is it bad that I am wishing Fall upon us because I just want to wear this athleisure outfit! This Nike Hoodie is soft and not too heavy. I sized up to an L. These black Zella joggers keep coming in and out of stock but keep an eye on them. I found them TTS in a M. I love the material. It’s kind of a dressy kind of feel, not too heavy or bulky. They are also available in Grey as well. Grey Zella Joggers .

Another few tops I paired with the above joggers is this Zella long sleeve tee. I’d say it runs TTS. I am in a L here but have plenty of room. Just a great basic! Also my tank is from Old Navy. Size down if inbetween as I am in a M and have room.

Cardigans were so big during this NSALE. And a popular trend was the leopard cardigan. Be sure to snag one during the sale! It really adds some fun to an otherwise basic outfit! I actually love both of these options! Which one is your fav? I should return one but we shall see. LOL! Leopard Cardigan on left is TTS M on me, but I would size down if in between. The Leopard Cardigan on right is TTS. I sized up one though to an L for a more relaxed fit. Also, my peep toe booties are a great option for Fall and for those in warmer climates. Best part is they are waterproof! They fit TTS.

In my opinion there wasn’t a ton of top options that I loved in the sale, but this one stood out. It’s a tunic length sweater with a blousey sleeve. It runs big so size down. I’m in a M but still have room. Great piece to wear with some skinnies and a tall boot or even as a work wear piece as well.

The 2018 Men's Gift Guide

Buying holiday gifts for Men can be tough am I right? There’s a fine line between buying something YOU want to give them and buying things that THEY would want to receive. Do I enjoy buying clothing and accessories for my husband? YES! Do I enjoy buying electronics? Hell NO!

If my husband had his way he would get cables, drones, electronics, and water bottles or coozies. Yes, he has a love for all water bottles and coozies. They can be pricey like a Yeti or just a cheapo coozie. He loves them all.

I usually try to balance out his gifts with clothes I want to see him in and some kind of techy gift that I know he would want to receive. It’s all about balance. AND BEER. Because adding BEER to his gift also gets me bonus points.

I included Men’s gifts of all price points and I tried to include something for everyone. Dads, husbands, uncles, brothers, etc. I also tried to make sure there was something for the techy, the outdoorsman, the traveler, the fashionisto (is that a thing?), and the casual guy.

I hope you find something that both you and he will love. If you don’t already follow me on Facebook , please head on over because I will be posting many more gift ideas for the family over the next few weeks!
