Seaside Splendor

 Swimsuit: ModCloth, similar here and two piece top and bottom // Coverup: Nordstrom, also wore this one // Hat: Nordstrom, currently on sale! // 
Guys.
I can't tell you how much I rather be HERE than heading to work on this Monday morning! I'm definitely missing the beach today! 
I've been saving this post for this amazing swimsuit to come back in stock! It finally did this weekend, but it's already almost sold out AGAIN. If you are as obsessed with it as I am, head over to the site and get on the re-stock list...they re-stock frequently, thank goodness! 

The moment I saw this suit, I fell in love. I stalked the website frequently and when I finally got the re-stock alert (at like 6am might I add), I ordered it IMMEDIATELY. It's literally the most perfect one piece! The top is adjustable, so you can make it as wide as you like, but because I am on the smaller side, I opted to keep it pretty closed, as I don't have much to flaunt. There are two ties in the back (one at the top and one mid-back) to make sure it all stays in place. The bottom offers pretty moderate coverage...nothing too cheeky going on here! It's a really comfortable swimsuit for being a one piece (ie no awkward pulling or tugging).

If one pieces aren't your thing, but you are obsessed with the print, it also comes in a SUPER cute two piece which I have linked below!

To the Beach: Kimono Cover Up

 Swimsuit: Top and Bottoms // Kimono: Nordstrom, similar here and here // Shorts: One Teaspoon // Bag: Nordstrom // Pom Keychain: ASOS, love this and this // Sunnies: Quay // 

Happy Friday! 
Anybody else looking forward to the weekend as much as I am??

This is one of the last posts from my recent trip to Cancun. This was probably one of my favorite beach combos I wore all week! I had been looking for a scalloped swimsuit for some time and when I found this adorable option (under $60 for both pieces!), I had to purchase it! I paired it with my favorite denim shorts and a sweet kimono. 

If you are headed on a beach vacation any time I soon, I highly recommend picking up a kimono to take with you! It makes for the perfect swim cover up, but can also double as a light layer for evening wear! I am linking a few of my favorite options below!

Black Maxi Dress

 Dress: c/o Impressions Boutique // Bag: c/o Hayden Reis // Necklaces: Cactus Necklace - Nordstrom (similar), Feather Lariat Necklace c/o Alexandra Gioia //
Shoes: ASOS // Hat: Nordstrom, similar here // 
Every girl needs a black maxi dress in her wardrobe. It's a classic staple that can be styled a ton of different ways, but still looks good just thrown on with some jewelry and sandals! I have a few black maxi's at my disposal and they are always the first thing I reach for in the spring and summer time when I have no idea what to wear! 

This option from Impressions Boutique's very own Meritt line is PERFECT. It has an extremely flattering fit with a high neckline. What truly makes this maxi great though...? POCKETS! 
I actually wore this to work yesterday with a chambray button down and have also already paired it with a denim jacket. Cheers to the perfect (and most versatile) piece of clothing in my wardrobe!

Boho Off the Shoulder Top

 Top: c/o HER Boutique // Shorts: BlankNYC // Shoes: ASOS // Bag: Sold out, similar here // Earrings: Bauble Bar // 
The countdown to summer break has officially begun!
We are almost in the teens, guys! 
This teacher is excited for a relaxing summer with days at the lake, especially after a hectic summer of wedding planning last year! 

The weather has been a little iffy lately, going from 80's to 60's and back again, making the daily process of getting ready a little difficult, but I've pulled out my summer staples and they aren't going anywhere until September! 

This top from HER Boutique is definitely going to be a repeat offender this summer! I am obsessed with the off the shoulder style, the fun print and the tassel ties...3 of my favorite things all mixed into one! Paired with some cutoff shorts and a pair of gladiator sandals, this is a look that screams easy, breezy summertime!
