Stripes and maxi dresses are two of my favorite things, so when you put them together, it's a match made in heaven! 

This option from My Sister's Closet Boutique is no exception. Black and white stripes, a cutout back and a royal blue hemline are just a few things that make this dress a total knock out. Not to mention the fact that it hugs every one of your curves and fits like a glove. 

I love discovering new online boutiques and sharing them with you! My Sister's Closet is my latest discovery of trendy, fun fashion. The best thing about My Sister's Closet is just how affordable they are. Hardly anything is over $40! In fact, this dress is only $16! 

They recently launched there new website with tons of fab goodies, so I am so excited to announce that they will be giving away a $25 gift card to one lucky reader! Entry is easy! Just follow the Rafflecopter below for your chance to win!

 It's officially summer! Whooop! The season I wait for all year is finally upon us! What does that mean for the outfit department? Lots of dresses, rompers, bright colors and fun prints!

This dress from Tashi is the ultimate summer dress! This breezy little number has the sweetest radiant floral print and a deep v back for a hint of sexy. I LOVE it! This is the perfect little floral dress for throwing on for brunch or date night!

The wild print of this dress doesn't need a whole lot of accessorizing, so I left it at a statement necklace. I paired it with black sandals and a beautiful black handbag from LYDC (that looks so much more expensive than it actually is!) to really allow the colors of the dress to pop! I finished it all off with a bright pop of red lips!

I'm a sucker for lipstick, and I think I've found my new favorite! Besame Red by Besame Cosmetics. This is a BRIGHT, bold red that has the staying power one craves when looking for a good red lippy. But truly, what makes this lipstick so fab is the beautiful packaging. Not only does it come in a pretty box with the statement, "Get Ready to Be Admired" stamped on the inside tab (okay...you had me there!), but then you pull out a red velvet pouch before getting to the actual treasure; a sleek, beautiful gold lipstick case with a red floral design. Done. I'm sold. Then the lipstick goes on to be fabulous itself...what more could you ask for?!? 

Besame lipstick is a high quality lipstick and retails for $40! Currently, Gloss 48, my new favorite "beauty playground", is offering it for just $22 for one week only! Gloss 48 is a website devoted to finding the new best beauty brands and bringing them to you for a week at a special launch price, before introducing the product into their online shop!

A Girl's Best Friend

Through blogging, you get to meet some pretty amazing people. There are so many bloggers out there who I feel could totally be my BFF's in real life!

After stalking their instagrams and blogs, we struck up an insta-friendship via instagram comments. These two girls are the sweetest, most kind hearted, ambitious ladies with fabulous style and are insanely gorgeous to boot! If you aren't already following them, do so now! I promise you won't regret it! We teamed up today to show you your BFF this summer...rompers!

This adorable printed, strapless romper from Obsession Boutique is the PERFECT romper for summer! It's made of a nice, light-weight material, making it perfect for those scorching summer days or throwing on over you swimsuit before heading to the beach! I love the bright, coral print and how ridiculously comfortable it is! I paired it with turquoise jewelry (duh!), my go to hat and sunnies combo and my favorite booties. Throwing on an extra long cardi was perfect for running errands in the chilly stores! I have this cardigan in two colors and am eyeing a third! It's seriously the perfect cardigan for summer as it is so light-weight!
