Summer don't go...

Top//Overalls//Jacket//Shoes

So summer is officially over for me and I am super sad. I thought I would finish off summer with one of my favorite outfits this summer! I loved the trend of overalls and I've also been loving tying things around my waist. These saltwater sandals have definitely been a summer staple for me this year, I have them in a few colors and I love my yellow the most, I feel like they are less common and they are just super fun and super summery. 

I hope all of you who have started school have had a good first couple of days. Here's to a good school year!

July Favorites// & a little update

Holy cow guys this month literally flew by!! Its August guys let that sink in, which also means school is SUPER soon! Summer is quickly drawing to an end and I thought I would share with you guys some of my favorites from this month. (:

GEL nails

This month I have been really into gel nails and bright fun colors! A few years ago my mom purchased a light that's needed for gel nails and I always use and I absolutely love it and get so much use out of it. I am also starting to do them for people for more information check out my Instagram @gelnailsbyannie

Sodalicious

If you haven't been to Sodalicious I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing because I'm truly addicted!! It truly is so good, Sodalicious offers a ton of different sodas and they have the most delicious treats including there crispies they are so dang good! You all need to try Sodalicious it will change your life! Make sure to get a Castaway extra dirty or a Your mom extra dirty. (The names really just make me laugh)

VSCOcam

I've been using VSCOcam a lot lately to edit photos taken on my iphone and I've really liked it. The app is very easy to use I really love all the filters and the features that the app includes! This is a free app which is also a plus. (:

This month has been super crazy for me so I haven't been posting (at all). I just barely got done with moving which has been a nightmare I've forgotten how hard it is... But I am mostly settled in my new house ans I can't wait to be back in a routine and start blogging again!! You guys don't even know how much I've missed it! I also found my camera as we were packing and I was SOO HAPPY! (plus of moving, finding things you thought were forever lost) (my lost camera is another reason I haven't been posting)

Happy Easter!

Dress//Shoes//Watch

This may possibly be one of my favorite outfits ever. This dress is just so perfect and so beautiful for this Easter, spring season. The bright colors from the dress go perfectly with the nude wedges.

I hope you all had an amazing easter... I love you all!

Top H&M Skirt Called to Surf (my new obsession) Shoes Toms Watch Michael Kors Rings Nordstrom Nails NYX

I know I've been slacking a lot lately in the blogging department but it has been much needed to get all my school work together and it has been a good break. I am officially back for good and for many more posts to come. I also want to do a Q&A type post where you guys leave me comments of questions you have for me... I think it would be super fun and sort of interesting.

 Lately I have seen these ballerina skirts all over and I think they are just so feminine and fun. With this super feminine skirt you definitely need something to make it a little more casual, when I want to dress something down I feel like a basic chambray top is a go-to.

Hope you all have a good sunday (:

One Shirt Two Ways: Summer

I am so excited to bring you guys this amazing post! Recently I teamed up with Claire from the fashion blog Simply Daring to bring you summer and fall outfit ideas wearing a simple chambray top. 

I went with a more dressy look for my outfit. I paired my favorite chambray top with a stunning white flowey skirt. For my accesories I went with bright POPs of color. I absolutely adore this outfit, and hope you guys do too.

 Claire went with a casual look that I am just in love with. She paired her chambray top with beautiful bright shorts. She is also wearing a pair of white converse, I feel that white high tops are a perfect shoe for summer. To make her look even more casual she tied her chambray top around her waist. I'm in love with this look

I hope you enjoyed and don't forget to go over to Claire's blog to see how we wore our chambray tops for the fall season.

Cheetah Girl

It kinda started pouring rain but i had to get one more picture in.

Ok I have to admit I do have an obsession with cheetah print. When I saw this dress I knew I just had to have it. I love pairing this bright necklace and belt with this dress but I kept the rest of the accessories to a simple gold. During the day it was warm but later it started to get a little chilly so i grabbed my favorite go to denim jacket.

Neon. Clutch Craze

Summer is here and the weather is deffinatley letting us know. 

Top: Target Skirt: Forever21 Shoes: Target (old) Clutch: Target Watch: Michael Kors

If you can't tell i have a little {huge} obsession with Target.

This outfit is super casual but feminine at the same time. The hi-lo maxi is really girly (in my opinion) but this neon boyfriend tee dresses the outfit down. I just need to take a second to tell you guys about my new obsession with this clutch and clutches in general. This clutch is A M A Z I N G I was at target and they had this one and two others in the same style just different patterns and I wanted all of them. I decided I better only get one so i went with the polka dots because I am obsessed with polka dots. 

There you have it.

Whats in my purse?

I am in love with my purse. I got it last summer but stopped using it and I am breaking it out again for the warmer weather.

This is what the front of the purse looks like. It is crossbody and it isn't super big. I just think its perfect.

Inside it is rainbow stripes which makes it about 10x cuter. 

And this is what I keep in my purse.

Wallet, Iphone, Lipstick, Lip Balm, Braces Medicine, Advil, Mascara, Hand Sanitizer, and a Pen

My purse is from Nordstrom and is Steve Madden.
