Tea Time - Hawaii Outfit 6

 Dress: Floral Print Cut Out - Get it HERE 

Shoes: DV by Dolce Vita

 My very last outfit post from Hawaii. It's about time. I hesitated sharing these as I'm not super happy with the quality of the photos. Remember how I said that quite a few of my photos didn't turn out? These were just on the border, but I'm sharing them with you anyways (although, don't be surprised if you see this dress often :) ).

To tell you the truth, I'm not exactly sure where I purchased this dress as I have seen it EVERYWHERE (Lulu's, Nastygal, Tobi, Necessary Clothing...the list goes on). I fell in love the minute I saw it the first time, but it was sold out in my size. I was bummed as I knew it was the perfect dress to take on vacation with me. Luckily, it soon started popping up everywhere. Seriously though, it's too cute and these pictures do not do it justice. For one thing, it has a darling, vibrant floral print and tulle lining in the skirt that make it feel fit for a tea party. My family called me "Alice" all night when I wore this to dinner on our last night in Hawaii. Not going to lie, my love for Disney had me totally digging the Alice in Wonderland feel of this dress:) Second, these cut outs though! I love that they bring a littleeee something sexy, that prevents this dress from being too over the top cutesy. I felt it best to leave this outfit accessory free (minus some rings) and paired it with my favorite flatforms for my last night in Hawaii.

PS Happy Memorial day weekend! I hope you have a wonderful, LONG, relaxing few days! One of my favorite online boutiques, August Wrinkle, is having a Memorial weekend sale. Use the code MEMORIAL15 at checkout to get %15 off your entire purchase. Happy shopping:) 

Pineapple Please!

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 

With summer coming, you can't get much cuter than a sweet pineapple print. I have been obsessing over anything and everything pineapple. Seriously, pineapples are the cutest thing. Yes, fruits can totally be cute. I have a very similar dress, purse and shoes, but am waiting patiently for it to warm up before I wear it. Therefore, here is my dream Memorial weekend outfit (if it's warm), complete only with a drink with an umbrella:) You better believe you will be seeing me rock an outfit almost identical to this soon! 

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.
