Something Borrowed

 Top: 'Need You Now' Top in Cream - c/o August Wrinkle - Similar option from Urban Outfitters HERE

Jeans: American Eagle - Similar HERE

Necklace: Forever 21 - Identical version HERE

Ring: Forever 21

Shoes: DV by Dolce Vita 'Java' - On SALE HERE

Behold all of my current obsessions all wrapped into one.

Crochet Top: This top from August Wrinkle is my dream top. I love peplum. I love crochet. I love cream. I love tops that show off a little back. This top has all of that rolled in to one figure flattering shirt of perfection. 

Ripped Denim: I love denim with a little attitude. These are my all time favorite jeans/jeggings (I LOVE AMERICAN EAGLE DENIM). I bought another pair this past fall and they have gone missing. I have been missing them for over a month now (along with two other shirts), and I can't stop obsessing over it. Why? Because they were my favorite and I am weirdly obsessive with taking care and keeping track of my clothing and it is SO unlike me to lose clothes. So really, where did they go. I've looked everywhere (and I mean everywhere) and it's doubtful that they just walked off.....

Ankle Booties: You already know my love for these shoes. They go with everything...just sayin. 

Necklace: Okay, so I purchased this necklace for my sister for Christmas and now I'm obsessed with it and want to wear it with everything. I find myself borrowing it way too frequently. Luckily, I recently saw this identical version at Maurices....I think owning this necklace may be in my very near future:)

Do any of you with siblings ever find yourself giving them things you plan on borrowing?

 To tell you the truth, I totally spaced on my leftover Hawaii pictures! So glad I remembered these as it was one of our best days there!

While in Hawaii, we saw a ton of Humpback Whales. It was probably one of the most amazing things I have ever seen. Everywhere you looked, they were jumping out of the water or splashing around, and I could have sat for hours just waiting and watching for them. Since taking Marine Biology in high school, I kind of have an obsession with sea life, whales in particular, so I was ridiculously excited. They are amazing, gigantic, beautiful and majestic creatures and seeing them in the wild is really awe-inspiring. Yeah, I'm a nerd:) My family decided that we wanted to get up close and personal and went on a little whale watching excursion. We saw a ton of whales, but getting pictures was a little tricky. I've included a few below, but they aren't the best quality. Honestly though, pictures don't do it justice. To sum it up...whales are AMAZING!

It was a pretty hot and muggy day, so I opted to wear a lightweight southwestern printed romper. I purchased this romper over 2 years ago and it remains one of my favorite pieces. So wishing I would have bought the other color! I put on a pretty beaded necklace, sandals, and a fedora to keep my hair in control during my whale watching adventure.

 Mama and Baby - saying hello! 

 Fins! 

 So much closer than appears...amazingggg.

May Flowers

 Top: Old Navy - similar HERE and HERE

Shorts: c/o Rire Boutique

Shoes: 'Faux Leather Lace-Up Wedge Pumps' c/o Yes Walker

Necklace: GroopDealz

Nails: OPI 'Monsooner or Later' 

You've probably seen the coral J.Crew version of this necklace EVERYWHERE, as it is popping up like May flowers left and right. I've seen a few bloggers style it and automatically fell in love. The problem? The hefty price tag and the fact that it's sold out everywhere. Boo.
When I saw that GroopDealz had a ridiculously similar dupe in a rainbow of colors for just $20, I snatched it up. They are sold out now, but fingers crossed they bring it back so I can add a few more colors to my summer wardrobe!

The weather has been SO warm lately, allowing me to break out my shorts. Yes, this makes for one happy girl. These scalloped beauties were sent to me from Rire Boutique, and I am IN LOVE. Not only do they have the sweetest polkadot print, but they also have a scalloped hemline and are highwaisted. Yes,  I know what you are thinking...PERFECTION. I paired them with a plain white blouse and my new favorite necklace for a perfect May outfit. While these shorts are not available on Rire Boutique at the moment, follow Rire on facebook to catch updates on the adorable stuff they are stocking. Trust me guys, they are one of my favorites!

The finishing touch? These amazing wedges from Yes Walker. I have been looking for the perfect pair of oxford wedges and could not be more happy with this pair. They are comfortable and easy to walk in (A MUST for any type of wedge/heel in my book!) and look so cute with anything and everything. Check out Yes Walker now and find out about their buy one get one free promotion featuring many great shoes and bags!

*While the shoes and shorts were sent to me by Rire and Yeswalker, opinions are ENTIRELY my own!

Festival

Top: 'Crochet Knit Pullover' c/o Rire Boutique 

Skirt: H&M Bodycon Dress

Necklace: Forever 21

Ring: Forever 21

Hat: Roxy 'Autumn' - find it HERE

Boots: Delia's - OLD - adore this Steve Madden option HERE

You know when you have been looking for the perfect item (for example, the perfect chambray or blazer) and you finally find it? The second you try it on and you know, you feel absolutely triumphant and giddy and you instantly start imagining all the different ways you can wear it. These are my current feelings towards this crochet knit pullover from Rire Boutique. The crochet detailing is gorgeous, the fit is perfect and slightly flowy, and it has super cute sleeves. This is a must for my closet this summer, as it is the perfect top to throw on over a dress or tank for cooler days and evenings and how cute would it look as a swimsuit coverup?!

I paired it with a black bodycon dress, a bold turquoise necklace, combat boots and my favorite hat for a festival worthy outfit (coachella next year, anyone?).
