Do you remember the game Pretty Pretty Princess? A game where the goal was to collect plastic jewels and ultimately the plastic crown to be named princess of plastic? I LIVED for that game. Once I won, I felt like princess for the entire day, wearing my shiny crown and clip on earrings until bedtime. There was nothing better than that feeling that in some sense you were actually princess...even if it came from winning a board game. It all made sense in my five year old mind. 

As a grown up, re-creating that memory comes simply from wearing amazing clothing that makes you feel like a princess.

Take this skirt for example. The moment I tried it on, as absolutely cheesy as it sounds, I was 5 again and had just won a battle round of Pretty Pretty Princess winning the ultimate honors. 

This skirt from Chicwish is beyond gorgeous. I love the floaty fabric and the pretty nude color that goes with just about  anything. I love that I now own something that I can throw on whenever I need a dash of that 5 year old princess magic...and you better believe I will be wearing this any chance I get.

To compliment a more sophisticated style, I decided to forgo the plastic earrings and crown and don some polka dots (a little 5 year old me coming through), a faux leather jacket and of course a bright statement necklace. 

I have to say, Chicwish is one of my latest online shopping obsessions. I browse the site daily as they are always getting new pieces in! They have unique items at great prices and such pretty pieces. Check them out...I'm obsessed.

 Meet my newest obsession...this maxi dress/cardigan. Although it's vibrant and the pattern is loud, it's easier to wear than you would think. I've already figured out quite a few ways to wear this for spring and summer and am excited to share with you!

For a warmer spring day, I paired it with a pretty white maxi. I love pairing this bright piece with white as it really allows the colors to pop. A gorgeous piece of turquoise jewelry (this necklace is a STEAL!) definitely helped channel some boho vibes. Of course I added my favorite hat and sunnies combo...I've been wearing this way too much lately! Are you convinced that this cardigan/dress is a summer staple yet?!?

Sometimes in a complete rush to get out the door, I end up throwing on jeans and a tee to get going in a hurry. It's pretty basic, but an essential outfit to every girls closet. Really though, jeans and tee's have so many possibilities that it really isn't that basic of an outfit. Oh the possibilities! 

This tee is SO cute! It's definitely a fun piece to have in my closet! I love the color blocking in the pretty spring pastels and love that I can throw it on with jeans and a fun necklace and have the perfect outfit! Casual but cute and put together! Adding some of my favorite bracelets, a sparkly necklace, an adorable bow clutch and of course some fab sunnies (these are Sunglass Warehouse!), definitely made this jeans and tee combo so not basic!

Being matchy matchy is not for everyone, but guys, I ADORE how cute these running pants and cami look together! There's just something about the fun print and bold colors that really motivates me to work out...and if a super cute outfit is what it takes, than so be it!

What I love most about SOLOW is how all pieces can be easily mixed and matched with one another. I have worn this cami under the jumper from this post a few times, along with mixing and matching a few other pieces I have from the spring line. This has got to be one of my favorite combo's though. I love that they match, and the fact that they compliment my sweet kicks so nicely doesn't hurt either! This cami is so comfortable, has a built in bra and a longer fit so you don't have to worry about showing off too much at the gym! The pants are also wonderful and so comfortable. I have even found myself putting them on way before it's time to work out just to lounge around in!

This adorable sweatshirt is just the thing to pull it all together. This piece is awesome as it's lightweight and perfect for throwing on before the gym or for a chilly evening jog. I am obsessed with the back detailing too, which makes it also perfect for running errands or throwing on over a swimsuit. You really can't go wrong!

It's safe to say, I am obsessed with SOLOW gear. Fashionable and functional active wear thats high quality AND comfortable?!? Yes, please!
