I love when I discover bloggers turned boutique owners! Boutiques owned by bloggers tend to have some of the cutest stuff as they totally know what's on trend and have new, unique ways for styling pieces! Enter Miss Whitney Rife, blogger turned owner of The Retail Therapist, by far one of the cutest new boutiques that has popped up! The Retail Therapist is stocked with bright colors and fun patterns and I definitely see myself placing future orders. I'm obsessed!! Check out Whitney's blog and shop...I promise you won't regret it! 
You know one of those pieces of clothing in your closet that the moment you put it on you feel like a million bucks?? That is this skirt. Every girl needs one of these in their closet! It's ridiculously flattering, fits like a dream and is the perfect pop of neon coral. Don't be surprised if you see it make a few appearances on the blog this summer. I kinddddd of never want to take it off! It also comes in fuchsia (I hope it's restocked soon...I think I might need it too!), striped and mint

Under the Sea

Before scrolling through, click play for some tunes.
Trust me, you will thank me :) 
Skirt: Gifted - Similar HERE  and HERE 
Necklace: Accessory Jane
Shoes: Target (Old) - Identical 
Earrings: Accessory Jane 










 Remember last summer when I was alllll about outfits inspired by Disney Princesses?? It all started here and continued here AND here when I took inspiration from some of my favorite Disney gals. What can I say? I love Disney and every once in awhile something in my closet speaks to me in Disney song.
My obsession with this Accessory Jane necklace is out of this world. It's by far the most unique necklace I've ever worn and I love the bright, bold colors. Obviously, this necklace was what set off the  whole Under the Sea, Little Mermaid theme. Does it not remind you of one of Ariel's pretty baubles in her trove of treasures?? Accessory Jane pieces are ALL like this including the gorgeous sparkly earrings I am wearing as well! A piece of buried treasure that makes a total statement when added to your outfit. Accessory Jane is my newest favorite jewelry boutique (follow them on Instagram and Facebook), because not only is their jewelry totally drool-worthy, but Liz is the SWEETEST and has absolutely fabulous style (another reason to follow on Instagram...Liz's outfits are the cutest!).
I was defintely humming Under the Sea as I put this outfit together. The lace turquoise skirt and flowy top (I've been wearing this too much lately!), definitely felt like something Ariel would wear! And as the school year is coming to a close and summer is upon us I'm definitely loving Sebastians words of advice...

"We got no troubles, Life is the bubbles! "

Can you say theme song of the summer? 

PS Pardon my super pasty skin...somebody needs to get a little sunshine.

Remember that Dr. Seuss I Can Read book...Put Me in the Zoo? The story centers around an animal (leopard? lion? bear?) who can do exciting things with his spots. As a child, it was on of my absolute favorites, so of course when I saw this top I was not only reminded of it, but I had to have it!

This top from Chicnova is one of my newest favorites! I love the fit of it and it's pretty great quality, I would definitely recommend! I paired it with my favorite skinnies by Vigoss from Nordstroms. These jeans are SUCH A STEAL! They fit like a dream and are on sale for $34 right now! Go get a pair! Seriously, I just ordered my second...oops! A fun Bauble Bar necklace and a bright orange cross body added some fun touches for a playful yet chic look!

Ruffles and Prints


Photography By: Haley Christine Photography 













Summer's coming! For those of you who saw my sneak peek of this outfit on instagram, you know my feelings about prints and colors. Wear as many as possible at one time during the summertime!! Summer is always my favorite season. Not just because it's often filled with lazy days in the sunshine, sipping icy drinks and reading by the pool, but because clothes tend to be so much more fun! Now don't get me wrong, by the end of the summer I will say the same thing about fall as I crave boots and scarves, but for now bring on the neons, prints and off the shoulder tops!

For some reason, I've been really loving this top, pairing it with just about everything! Maybe it's the fact that it's everything I'm loving lately...ruffles and off the shoulder. If only it was hot pink or neon green...! I've been surprisingly impressed by the quality for a little over $8. One of those awesome steals that has/will be well loved!
These shorts are another score from Spool 72. I've shopped at Spool 72 before, and love that they are located in my home state, Washington! They carry the most unique and fun items at prices that won't break the bank...my favorite!! They have SO many cute things right now, but I'm really obsessing over their shorts selection! I linked a few above that I love, but let's be realistic....I love them all!!!

In jewelry news, I'm wearing 3 of my latest loves.
1. Jazzy K Designs Tribal Crystal Bracelet: I'm dying over the cuteness overload that is this bracelet!! Tribal printed AND pretty bling? Does it get any better?? I think no!

2. InPink Leather Chunky Chain Wrap Bracelet: This is a super fun piece that I've been wearing daily. I like to mix it in with other bracelets...it's so cute and definitely a fun piece to add to your wrist party:)

3. Chloe + Isabel Necklace & Earrings: You've seen my rave reviews about Chloe + Isabel before, but these pieces take it to a whole new level. First off, this necklace is AMAZING. It's convertible, as magnetic twist & lock pave closures allow you to wear it 3 different ways; 2 different necklaces and a bracelet. I'm wearing it as one, but have worn it numerous ways. If you are going to buy any necklace this summer, this is the one! The tassel is sold separately, but such a must as it's so on trend and looks amazing on the necklace and bracelet! Oh, and the earrings...I have not taken these pretty beauties off since receiving them! They are the cutest little turquoise studs! Check out Vanessa's Chloe + Isabel boutique and follow her on Facebook. She is THE SWEETEST and also amazing at styling...so contact her if you aren't sure what Chloe + Isabel pieces to pick out! She's the best!
