The Little Fashionista: Spring

Blooming

8:14:00 AM

Happy Saturday! As I’m writing this, I honestly can’t believe that May is already halfway done. 2022 is flying by!

It’s been a while since my last post, but I wanted to share one of my favorite fresh and casual looks for spring/summer.

I’m obsessed with these white wide-leg pants from Lulu’s. They help any simple or casual top look a little fresher and put together for spring. These will definitely be on my packing list for any vacations in Spring or Summer!

They are a little see-through, though, so I wore them with a good pair of Spanx underneath.

And, of course, no outfit is complete without a good pair of hoops. I bought these Selena hoops a few years ago from Kendra Scott, and they’re still one of my favorites.

That’s all for now! If you need me, I’ll be off dreaming of wearing this look near a beach surrounded by palm trees. 🌴

Outfit details:

Pants (Lulu's)
Hoops (Kendra Scott) - I can't find the exact ones on their website, but these Veronica ones are another one of my favorites (and not just because we share the same name).

Feels like spring

Happy Sunday!

The weather in ABQ has been beautiful lately, and it’s finally starting to feel like spring is in the air. So, I’m sharing one of my favorite two-piece sets from Lulu’s this week.

Who doesn’t love a good skort? I’ve been obsessed with sets lately, and the color of this one is perfect for spring.

And even though it looks great together, I love wearing each piece separately when I want to mix it up.

On another note, I feel thankful to have gotten my second dose of the Pfizer COVID vaccine this past week. It went really well! I’m honestly really impressed with how seamless New Mexico’s vaccination system has been. Once I got the text that I was eligible, scheduling my appointment was quick and easy. And, I got my vaccine within 5-10 minutes of when I showed up for the appointment! Other than a little fatigue, a sore arm, and some swelling near my armpit the next day, I felt great. I’m so excited to be able to safely get back to doing some of the things I’ve greatly missed over the past year!

Have a great week!

Summer Sendoff

Happy Saturday guys!

Can you believe that fall is only a few weeks away? I've already had my first pumpkin treat of the season, and I can't wait to stock up on some fall-scented candles. But, until then, I'm going to be soaking up the last few weeks of summer in my favorite sundresses, including this lace Gianni Bini one!

I recently wore this whole look to a wedding and it was perfect! The dress is super light-weight, which is perfect for the summer heat. The bottom is also super flowy, and so fun to dance in!

I paired it with nude pumps, my favorite Kendra Scott earrings, and this white Michael Kors crossbody.

One of my favorite parts about this dress is the fact that the lace comes down below the rest of the dress. It's such a cute detail!

Have a great week everyone! I hope you all enjoy the last few weeks of summer.

Classic Yellow Sundress

Happy Friday!

Wow, I can't believe we're already almost halfway through July! This summer is seriously flying by. Even though I'm enjoying having a bit of a break from school, I'm actually kind of excited to start classes again. But, until then, I'll pretty much be living in sundresses!

This week, I'm sharing this bright yellow dress! I absolutely love the buttons and the bow. Plus, the color is perfect for the sunny weather we've been having here in Albuquerque! And, the best part? It's on major sale right now!

For today's makeup, I used the Colourpop Sandstorm palette on my eyes. Colourpop has been one of my favorite brands for years now, but their new pressed glitters are just on a whole new level! Not only are the colors absolutely stunning, but I love that all of their eyeshadows (and their glitters) are so easy to work with. And you really can't beat their prices (this palette was only $18)!

I paired the dress with my nude heels and this white Michael Kors bag from last year! I love this bag because the white and gold color combination matches with almost anything. Plus, the detailing on the front makes it truly stand out!

I also wore my favorite hoops from Kendra Scott. They're actually named Veronica, and as soon as I saw them, I was instantly obsessed. Once I found out the name, I knew I had to have them. 😂 I love that they're just big enough to make a statement without being too much. They go with almost everything!

I hope you all have a great weekend!

Summer Florals

Happy Thursday!

Can you believe it's almost June? 2019 has been flying by! So far, this has been a year of firsts for me. In the past few months, I finished my first semester of graduate school, co-hosted my first event, and even threw out the first pitch at a local baseball game. What do all of these things have in common? They were completely out of my comfort zone, and I was terrified of failing or making a fool out of myself. But, the truth is, even though some of them didn't go exactly as planned (my first pitch went straight into the ground 😅) I am incredibly grateful that I did them all.

As someone who's lived with anxiety for most of my life, it is so easy to let my insecurities and fears get in the way of living my life. But, that's no way to live, and it only leads to regret! So, I've made it a point to start doing things that are outside of my comfort zone, even if they're a little scary. And hey, if I embarrass myself in front of a crowd of people, or end up falling on my face, at least I can be proud that I tried.

This summer, I've been living in feminine floral dresses, and this Antonio Melanie one is one of my all-time favorites! I love the ruffles at the top, and how it flares out at the bottom. Plus, the belt helps give it a flattering hourglass shape.

This half-up with a fishtail hairstyle is hands-down my favorite way to wear my hair over the summer. It's perfect for weddings, brunch, dates, and even cute and casual looks! Plus, it keeps my hair out of my face, which is really important with the summer heat.

I've also been obsessed with these earrings from the Kendra Scott summer 2019 collection! They are extremely unique, and unlike any other earrings, I've seen before. The shape reminds me of flower petals, and I love how shiny the white material is. I've been loving wearing them with my hair half-up to really show them off.

When I first got them, I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to find much to wear with them but that hasn't been the case at all! They can really take almost any summer outfit to the next level. I've worn them with dresses, feminine tops, and even to a work event!
