60+ SWIMSUITS FOR YOUR NEXT VACAY

Ultimate Swimsuit GuideUltimate Swimsuit GuideUltimate Swimsuit GuideUltimate Swimsuit GuideAfter creating this blog post, all I want to do is plan a beach trip ASAP! 😉 I know many of yall have Spring Break or tropical vacations coming up, so I rounded up 60+ of my favorite swimsuits! I literally went down a rabbit hole of swimwear, lol. Let me mention that several of the ones linked are from SheIn, and I personally LOVE their swim. I know many people are skeptical about ordering from there, but I ALWAYS read the reviews first. If there isn’t one, I usually risk it because the price is SO good. And if you purchase any from Pink Lily, be sure to use KELSIE15 for 15% off! Almost all are under $50 except a few. To make it easy, you can hover over your favorites to see the exact price! As always, THANK YOU for using my links! I make a small commission when you click the swimsuits below and purchase in the same frame! It’s as simple as that but means the world to me. Happy shopping! 🙂

I had a ton of questions about the outfits I wore on my recent trip to Rosemary Beach, Florida, so I decided to recap each one with sizing info! We stayed at The Pearl Hotel, which is the most fabulous place I have ever seen! My friends and I spent more time at the pool than at the beach, but can you blame us?! 🙂 When we weren’t lounging in the sun, we were stuffing our faces with delicious food! My favorite places we ate were The Red Bar in Grayton Beach and Whiskey Bravo in Seagrove Beach. (Highly recommend the fried mac & cheese sticks there!) Oh, and I forgot to add Big Bad Breakfast because their french toast was to die for!! (I could live on brunch food, it’s a problem lol)

If you have any more questions about the hotel we stayed at, the restaurants we ate, or outfit details, drop a comment below! Have a great week! 🙂

SASSY PINK POM POM DRESS

DRESS | SHOES | BAG | BRACELETS | EARRINGS

This blog post is further proof that I have never met a sassy hot pink dress I didn’t LOVE! I don’t know why hot pink has always been my favorite, but I am just drawn to anything in this color. I like the way it stands out in a crowd, and it honestly creates a happy vibe! (Move over yellow!) This precious piece is from Sequins & Sass Boutique. Even though it’s under $50, this dress has amazing fabric that is really high quality for the price tag! Oh, and did I mention the BEST part?! There are POCKETS! As if I needed an additional reason to swoon! 🙂

Another cute detail is the sleeves! Just look at the pretty pompoms. This had my name written all over it! Lol. The fun pompom colors inspired me to pair this dress with turquoise earrings! I love bold colors that compliment each other, and this combo has been on repeat the entire summer. BTW, I got a small in the dress for sizing reference. I think it’s very roomy! It’s one of those dresses that you can eat too many cupcakes in and not feel bad. (Or is that just me?! hahaha) I also received this little gingham print top, too. (ONLY $33) The cold shoulder sleeves are perfect! Sequins & Sass Boutique has got it going on with their cute summer merch, and you definitely need to check them out!

The Best Graphic Tees To Keep You On Trend

TOP (Similar) | JEANS | SHOES | HAT

Since I graduated college in December, I have quickly realized that oversized t-shirts and Nike shorts aren’t always the best option for casual wear! Sure, the comfort level is amazing, but sometimes, you just have to move on.

So what is the next best thing?! Definitely graphic tees! I was hesitant about them at first, but I LOVE these tops now. They’re fun, the perfect description for “casual cute”, AND easy to dress up with pumps or down with sneakers! I styled this graphic tee with my favorite pair of jeans and the best tan heels for an easy, yet chic look. (And seriously, you need these heels in your life. They have scallops after all!) I also created a low knot, so the top wouldn’t look baggy. I think that small touch adds a lot to the overall outfit!

My graphic tee is actually from last summer, and similar ones are linked below! I like to be realistic and wearing a piece of clothing once just isn’t. But I always make sure I can find something almost identical to the product!

I hope everyone enjoyed their 4th of July! I have been on vacation at the beach all week, and it’s been SO nice to take a little break. (Although I still had work to do, but that’s okay!) I didn’t want to leave, but a long to-do list was calling my name 🙂

How To Style A Blazer Outside The Office

BLAZER (Similar) | TANK | SHORTS | HEELS | CLUTCH

Ever wondered how to style your blazer after hours? Well, I’m here to assist! Although rocking a neon pink blazer might not be your typical look during that 8-5, it can easily be substituted with a black one too. Not to mention how perfectly the leopard pumps would compliment it! 🙂

There are several blazer combinations that I love, but my favorite is pretty classic. White tank, cutoff shorts, and this sassy pink jacket paired with equally as sassy heels! It’s put together, but not over the top! (Ok, color wise this is debatable lol) Whether it’s a date with your man or girls’ night with your friends, this outfit is sure to make a statement each time! (I am such a sucker for hot pink and leopard print done the RIGHT way)

This blazer is actually old, so I didn’t want to share it until I found a close dupe! Luckily, I discovered an equally as fabulous one that I am linking below along with some other cute picks. (I typically wear a US 4 in that brand for reference) Drop a comment below if you have any questions! Have a great weekend friends!

XOXO
