Ok so we get it, we live in Florida where the fall season really isn’t a thing. Nevertheless we love fall trends! It’s always around this time of year that we’re ready to share our must haves for the new season (here and here). We try to incorporate pieces that can transition from these sweltering hot summer temps and work for the cool down we (fingers crossed) will receive.
Ok so we maaay have a slight Amazon problem. I mean Prime is LIFE. What did we do before Amazon Prime, i have no idea!! I have so many must have products that are from Amazon that I knew a post was necessary. I categorized my ultimate favorites to share with you and why they are SO good.
With the weekend just around the corner we are ready for cute Saturday night outfit inspo! Whether you’ve got dinner & drinks planned, or casual daytime fun, we have the outfit for you.
We are partnering up with Chicwish to share some super cute date night looks! Chicwish has seriously become one of our favorite online shops-they have the cutest dresses & tops.
Dressy Date Night
This gorgeous little black dress is perfect for a dressy night out! It is the nicest quality and I love the sheer polka dot details. It would be the perfect dress to transition into fall because the sleeves are long, but sheer.
I styled this dress with some black lace up pumps and blue earrings for a pop of color, but you could even keep it classic with a pair of nude heels.
Casual Date Night
If you have a more casual date night planned or even a day date, this top is for you! Tee fell in love with the bell sleeves and the cute tie details. You can never go wrong with blue & white stripes!
Tee styled this top with some distressed denim and nude flats, but you could totally dress it up with a pretty skirt and heels! Once some cooler weather kicks in, it’ll look great with some dark denim and nude ankle boots. Such a versatile piece!
We’d love to hear your upcoming weekend plans!
Pieces are c/o of Chicwish but all opinions are always our own.
After my closet reorganization post I’ve really been trying to ‘shop’ my own closet. I feel like it is so easy to have an event come up and feel the need to go out and buy something new. It is nice to have a versatile dress in your closet that you can just grab for an upcoming event. You know it will work for so many different weddings, parties, showers, or date nights and you don’t have to run out and buy something last minute!
Today we’re featuring two gorgeous dresses {that won’t break the bank!!} and will carry you through all your upcoming events, from summer into fall!
Both of these dresses are from Chicwish, a women’s clothing brand featuring some of the most beautiful dresses ever at affordable prices {can i get an AMEN?!}. I’ve always seen Chicwish dresses on Pinterest but never really took the plunge. I wasn’t sure if they’d be as gorgeous in person, but they seriously are!
I love the place we live in, but it is seriously lacking in the closet/storage space! Now being the clothes lover that I am I have to get kind of creative when organizing my closet space. I don’t use any dressers and have all of my items solely in this closet, which is like a mini walk in.
Strategically organizing it has been key! If you don’t see your clothes, your forget about them and never end up wearing them. At least that’s how it is for me. So here are a couple tips that hopefully can help you organize your own closet space to make the most out of what you have!
In the middle of summer, we’re all striving to look cute while staying cool! We want to find pieces that are still stylish, but won’t make us feel hotter than we already are.
This week we’re featuring two gorgeous pieces from 8.28 Boutique that will take you through the summer months and have people asking ‘where’d you get that?!’. Both of these items are staples for a summer wardrobe-a pretty maxi dress and a classic white top!
We’re looking for materials that are breathable and light, but still high quality!

These leggings are legit THE best! I have a few pairs now and nothing compares.
This T is super comfy and lightweight. I love this mustard shade and bonus it’s UNDER $12!!
I love summer-schools out, beach days, summer drinks! One of my favorite summer drinks has always been frozen lemonade. When good old Mcds brought out frozen strawberry lemonade a couple years back we were obsessed! It was SO good. So when it disappeared from our lives we needed to figure out could it be recreated….
aaaand it can!
Ok guys the sale everyoooone talks up is about to start! I really wanted to get feedback on how you all felt about this sale before we bombarded your feeds with Nordstrom Anniversary sale updates, tips, and tricks. Since we received a resounding yesss to share sale info, we are here for you!!!
On July 12 our sale picks will be LIVE so make sure you check back here!
Now this sale is super fun for a couple of reasons:
-You get new brand new merchandise at a discount before it’s sold at regular price
-You get excited for cooler temps, seeing all of the pretty fall & winter pieces
-You get to share in the experience of being a shopping addict like the rest of us
Now that last one miiiight be a stretch haha, but in all seriousness this sale is super fun to shop! There are sooo many pieces in every category you can think of that it can definitely get overwhelming though.
Luckily we’ll go through the sale for you, pick the must have pieces, the best bangs for your buck, and of course affordable finds!
Here are a couple of important dates for you to remember:
Our tips for shopping the sale:
Tip #1
Keep checking back. If you love something and it sells out quickly there will most likely be more that come in stock or people will return items! I bookmark the page for the item I love and check back a couple times a day.
Tip #2
You can always return! One thing I love about ordering or shopping in Nordstrom is that the return process is so simple. So if you have doubts order the piece and make sure you return it if you don’t love it when it arrives.
Tip #3
Think ahead. Tee and I always shop for Fall and Winter pieces during the Summer regardless of the store. It is seriously the best time to scoop these types of items {cardigans, coats, boots, scarves} up because in a couple of months you’ll need them and they will be double or triple the price.
So don’t fret that you won’t wear it for a little while. Put it in your closet and you’ll be so happy to have the pieces in a couple of months.
Tip #4
Do not buy something just because it is on sale!!!
Now this can be very hard for us to even do but it is important. Just because something is on sale and there is the element of scarcity don’t buy it. Buy pieces you know you’ll wear and love. During sales like this it’s hard not to go crazy with all the hype.
We will continuously update this post throughout the sale! Under our shop tab we will have all Nordstrom Sale info so it’s easy to find. We can’t wait to shop with you throughout this sale!
Our first ever blog post was our guide to shopping Marshalls. We knew when we started this blog we wanted to share with readers our tips and tricks for shopping the store. It was one of the biggest questions we always got from friends, family, strangers-how are we successful at Marshalls? We were all about sharing our strategies and promoting Marshalls, and we still are!
Which is why we wanted to update our Guide to shopping Marshalls, especially since our reader base has grown over the past couple of years!
We absolutely love Marshalls and as two girls always on the hunt for the best deals on clothing, accessories, etc. we want you to be just as successful shopping there. It is so easy and doesn’t have to be a two hour stop haha.
