{this top is old from Francesca's & I can't find a similar one} Leggings: Victoria Sport

I had such an incredible 2018 & I know God has an even bigger 2019 in store! I've taken the 1st week of the year to really reflect & have developed a list of things I'd like to do & be more in the new year. 

1. Explore Dallas more
I LOVE this city & after living here 2 years I feel like I haven't seen even half of the hidden treasures. So my mission this year is to do just that! Seek out those treasures much more frequently.

2. Do more fun activities, like weekend trips {spending more time with those I care about}
There's nothing I love more than travel & I think in 2019 I need to think small more often. Plan a weekend trip to Austin, Waco, OK, somewhere just far enough for adventure! I also want to do more of these with friends & family. I am notorious for doing things alone or with one friend, but I'd love to plan more group adventures! I also want to just be more intentional with my time away from work/ responsibilities. This for me looks like reading a book, going to play frisbee golf, having a stay-in spa night, etc.

3. Be a more involved Auntie
This is one I always strive for. I have several nieces & nephews & there is nothing I love more than being an aunt. So I want to be more present: watching their football games, having weekend dates, etc.

4. Be more punctual
Another one I am constantly striving toward. 100% a weakness of mine that I don't like to admit, but I know I need to be more punctual in all areas of my life & I believe I can make a big improvement in 2019! I know how important timeliness is so there is no reason not to just do it!:)

5. Be more philanthropic
I love the feeling of giving back & being part of something bigger than myself & to be honest, I do not do it enough. At this stage in my life I do not make much extra money so I tend to use that as my excuse, but it is a terrible one. In 2019 I vow to make a bigger impact in my community as I get more involved with giving of my time & skills.

6. Find more peace {get back into yoga!}
Currently heavily researching the best studio for me to join, but I honestly can't wait to start back in yoga regularly. I used to go weekly back in high school & it was so calming. I totally need that in my life again & I can't wait to see the impact that it has on my health!:)

7. Get Violette into a doggy daycare we love!
I am sadly gone so much for work that I feel bad for my super socialite puppy so I've decided to find her a daycare to go to twice a week so she can be her best self! Violette is such a sweet puppy who LOVES friends & play so I can't wait to be able to get her into one she loves.

8. Be more financially stable
When I graduated college I took a position I was overqualified for with the promise that I would be promoted quickly & unfortunately 2 years later & I am still waiting on that promotion. This is the year I make that happen. I really want to be able to put more into my savings & to have more money to give back & spend on travel. 

In addition, I always feel as though God gives me a word or phrase for my year or season & late last year I felt Him put the phrase "Don't let your preferences get in the way of your paradise" on my heart. Since I was a little girl, my stubborn tendencies have led me to let my "preferences" spoil many "paradises" in my lifetime & since God put this phrase on my heart I have seen so many instances where its been applicable. I am really excited to see how He helps me grow in this season & let this rooted bad habit grow small. So I pray that this year I can accomplish all of these "wish list" resolutions along with finding more ways to give up control & let me find all the paradise in store!

With that being said, I also know that at the end of the day {or year} I am still happy. I love who I am & I am still my core "me". Just as my shirt reads "fashion is my religion" {AKA my passion & focus}, the Lord is my guide, &  my admiration for Taylor Swift is strong as ever.

The biggest shopping weekend of the year has arrived! This is probably my favorite weekend & I've been SO looking forward to sharing this year's gift guide! My top picks for both men & women for this year's holiday season!:)
​

1. Found these gorgeous monogram coasters from Anthropologie & I think they are GREAT because they fit any girl's decor. I would use them more for decoration- not an actual coaster for drinks on a table, but either work!:) 
2. These cozy, fuzzy slippers from Target are one of the top styles this season & you can't beat the quality or price! This would also work for so many women on your list!
3. I featured this lip balm in my Easter gifting guide earlier this year, but it is SO great that I had to feature it again. I can't get over how much I love it, how cool it is, & what a great gift it makes! Works with your pH to tint your lips a unique shade of pink + hydrates + smells great + feels great on + has a flower on the inside! I really don't know how much more you could possibly desire from a lip balm!
4. I saw these earrings & I can't get over how cute they are + love this brand! These would look SO cute with an ugly Christmas sweater so this might be a perfect little self gift this holiday season. I mean, shopping is hard this time of year! So many crowds, long lines, & lots of people to buy for, so why not treat yourself?;) Lol
5. I love a good candle & how much better can it get than one with a bow on top of the lid?! So cute!! Love Francesca's for gifting so had to add this one to the list! Candles are such a great gift for really anyone!
6. I have THE hardest time cleaning my brushes so tbh I rarely do it {yes, I know that's so bad}, but when I saw a video of this brush mat I was hooked! I don't own this, but it's on my list for sure! This looks like the easiest, best way to clean your brushes & any girl who wears makeup would definitely love this one!
7. Being a hairdresser's daughter I was SUPER skeptical about this shampoo & conditioner I was seeing everywhere, but I love the concept of taking a hair quiz & having customized hair products! Also love that they don't use bad ingredients & are made in the USA! I linked the page that comes up after you take the hair quiz so y'all can see the cute holiday colors and scents to choose from! This would be a really cool gift for sure!
8. This balloon dog figurine seems to be everywhere & I think it's adorable! Perfect little decor addition just like the coaster!:)
​
9. The Tile tracker is definitely a perfect gift for anyone on your list this year, but I feel like guys are a littleee more likely to lose track of their things soooo this makes it especially great for any of the guys on your list! Lol
10. I have this WonderBoom speaker in the pink color & I LOVE it. Seriously the best little speaker, with not so little sound quality. It is SO good + it's waterproof! Another great gift for anyone, but really perfect for any guys on your list! Also, if you have one then you can connect 2 & have even bigger sound!
11. Love this cocktail shaker for men because it is so simple & great for any of your guys that are always making the drinks!
12. Loving this Every Man Jack men's gift set I stumbled across this season. I am always in search of the best men's skin/ body care products- I feel like there is such a shortage in the market, but I do really like this brand!
13. Holiday boxers from American Eagle are always so fun & the best little addition!
14. Herschel small travel bag is great for any guy! I feel like everyone needs a good travel bag for bathroom essentials & this is just that with a more masculine look.
15. With all the sports games to stream, game apps to play, & social media to browse guys' phone batteries don't last long so a power bank is the perfect gift for any guy who always needs to borrow the charger! I really like Heyday by Target because it's great quality & price, but also stylish!
​

Top: A&F Red Vest: J. Crew Fur Vest: Target Jeans: A&F Boots: Lauren Ralph Lauren

I absolutely love the holidays so I am so excited to share with you my Thanksgiving outfit details! I styled this outfit 2 different ways for y'all & love them both!
​
So I've spoke about this before, but I just can't get over how much I am loving this comeback A&F is making! My jeans and flannel are both from there and I could recommend them enough. I wear these jeans ALL the time {if y'all can't tell already lol} and I love the colors of this top! Jeans run true to size, I'm in a 25 and the top runs small so size up one!
My red vest is something I just found, but I have been searching for the perfect quilted vest for FOREVER. No surprise I was able to find it at the classic J. Crew. It runs true to size, I'm in a XS. 
My fur vest is actually from Target 2 years ago lol, but I love it so I linked this years version from their Universal Thread brand! I can't recommend a fur vest enough. It just makes any fall outfit and they are actually really warm so you don't have to worry about wearing on cooler days.
I just purchased these riding boots and I already adore them. I have been searching for a two tone riding boot for the longest time. This was definitely a splurge, but I really felt it was worth it because they are such a classic staple and I am loving how nice they make every outfit. Also, you can't go wrong with Ralph Lauren!

Being in the fashion industry, more specifically in retail, I have to work on Thanksgiving evening and basically a million hours within that weekend following {wouldn't trade it though because I love the hustle/ bustle of this weekend!}, but I will get to spend a little time with family in the morning!:) I hope y'all have a wonderful holiday and remember all the things we have to be thankful for!

If you have any questions or need help styling your Thanksgiving outfit please don't hesitate to reach out!:)

Top: A&F {similar} Skort: Missguided Shoes: Steve Madden {similar} Necklace & Bracelet: Kendra Scott Choker Necklace: Claire's Lipstick: MAC

"Back to my thoughts on a reputation... I think that what scares us so much about having a bad reputation is the idea that we might miss out on finding something real like real love, real connection, because of something fake like a reputation. So when it comes to all that, I just think it's really 'Delicate' ya know?" *que "Delicate" song* -Taylor Swift

Fun fact: I have been to every Taylor Swift concert since Speak Now. I can honestly say my favorite part about going is the inspirational speech she gives and a little bit of song insight. This year I captured it so I could listen again and again and above is a direct quote from the Reputation Tour speech.

As always her concert was wondrous, dreamy, and everything I could have hoped for. She is amazing and I am forever obsessed. Anddd I only cried 3 times {much improvement from last concert where it was 7 lol}!

Onto the outfit details: So I decided to wait to post about this closer to the holidays because living in the south sometimes our holidays end up on the warmer side. Like 75 degree Thanksgiving is not unusual. This is what I wore to the concert, but I love it for warmer holiday season too! The top is literally like 4 years old from A&F so I found a cute sparkle tank from this year that has an open back that I love so I linked it above!
The skort is SO cool because Taylor Swift was actually photographed wearing it and I LOVE this asymmetrical skort trend! The better news is it's actually SUPER reasonably priced! Use the sizing guide to figure out your size. I wish I had sized up, but when I ordered the next size up wasn't available, sadly. This skort is so versatile so I definitely recommend!
My shoes are a last year purchase and I LOVE them. Sparkles are so me and I loved how they were perfect for the concert {& also a holiday party!}. I am so sad they are no longer sold so I linked the taller pair in a silver metallic- still cute! Target also has really similar options for even less!
Jewelry is mostly my go-to choice: Kendra Scott. The silver choker and all other jewelry except the black choker are Kendra. I linked the drusy necklace, but all the matching pieces are featured if you scroll down on the page. The black choker is a classic must that I really enjoy styling. Linked mine above from Claire's!
I also linked my lip color above because I am OBSESSED with this formula. It legit stays all day. I do not have to reapply, only MAY need to touchup after eating/ drinking, but honestly not always! And it's not as harsh on my lips as similar formulas have been. It's a MUST.

If you have any questions or need help styling your concert/ holiday outfit don't hesitate to reach out!:)

Top: Wild Fable by Target Jacket: Universal Thread by Target Shorts: Levi's Shoes: Famous Footwear Butterfly Hair Clips: Amazon Chocker Necklace: Icing

This past weekend I had the privilege to attend Launch Retreat with Watermark Community Church/ The Porch and it was an absolutely amazing experience. It was 90s themed so of course I went all out and rocked that denim on denim trend, complete with a choker and butterfly clips! I LOVED it. 
I sized up to a small in both the jacket {check out the full blog post on this jacket!} and top for a more relaxed fit and everything else runs true to size! The new Wild Fable line from Target is super 90s inspired so it was PERFECT and it is priced even cheaper than Target's other brands- closer to those of competitors Forever 21 and H&M! YAY! This top was only $10 and such great quality!
Dressing up was SO much fun {so I had to share with y'all} but what God revealed was even cooler. Therefore, I thought I would share with y'all what I learned:

-WORRY:
-Matthew 6:24-34 {I especially love verse 34 "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."
-there is a great relationship between what you are devoted to and what you worry about... and between how big our worry is compared to our faith. {belief>worry}
-worry never helps and always hurts us.
-God promises He will meet our needs so we do not have to worry. The Bible repeats 366 time not to be afraid/worry/fear.
-relieve your worries by replacing your agenda with God's agenda. You can have peace and not get everything you want OR you can worry and not get everything you want.
-when overwhelmed, PRAY.

-HOW TO HAVE A BOLD FAITH:
-you know the one in charge in the midst of all things. It always works out- the short run should not intimidate you.
-until God breaks you in your most confident area He hasn't really broken you yet
-we always go to Him in our last resort when things aren't working. Instead, invite Him into EVERYTHING, right from the beginning. He always cares, so if you consult Him in everything from the beginning then you will pray less "God why don't you care?!?" prayers.
-live boldly for His glory.

-WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE TO USE OUR FAITH:
-what is faith if you aren't going to use it?! Put faith into action and SHARE!
-you never run out of faith, you just have to choose to access it.
-faith without deeds is dead. Faith has to work, move, and create.
-have the faith to follow, to forgo, and to be forgotten. Forgo things that do not glorify Him and give up your plans to follow His {you aren't actually in control anyway, plus His plan is always greater!}. If you are called to be a prophet, do not stoop to be a king. Have the faith and confidence to be forgotten for His glory/ kingdom. 
-you're behavior always follows your belief
-be 100% committed. Change your playground and your playmates.
-do not let your preferences get in the way of your paradise {when it comes to faith/ the church/ etc.}.

-HOW WE CAN MAKE SURE WE ARE NOT WASTING OUR LIFE:
-we touch our phones an average of 2,617 times a day. This equates to almost 2.5 hours a day. So you HAVE time to do more life-giving things.
-be self controlled. Obstain from sin- it is a complete and total waste of time. We spend more time winding down from sin than it takes to actually commit it.
-get dead serious about Jesus. You cannot do it without Him.
-love people well, your actions are louder than sin.
-be selfless. Do something for others any chance you get as it is far more rewarding.
-be a steward. Be a steward of the time, talent, and treasure that God has given you. These talents aren't really to benefit you, they are to benefit others- don't be a hoarder!
-boast only in the cross!

So overall I didn't really "learn" anything new, but more so was reminded of some great truths that I desperately needed to hear. It was so renewing. I was reminded in the importance of inviting Him into every day, just talking with Him casually makes such a difference and brings a peace over your day. Inviting Him to be present in your every day helps you live for Him and see what He has for you. I was also reminded not to worry or try to seek control, that His plans are always better. Also, not to let my preferences get in the way of what He has for me, and to continue to be a light for His kingdom.
This results in a few next steps for me:) I am starting to read "Welcome to Adulting" by Jonathan Pokluda. I want to seek out  a community group {currently praying over this}, I am making more time for friends to pour into these treasured relationships, and I am trying to talk more with God, especially in the mornings to bring Him to the forefront of my mind and see what He has for me each day. Lastly, I was reminded of the beauty and peace that worship brings, so instead of always turning on some of my favorite secular music, I am choosing to listen to more worship music and I LOVE it!

I thought for fun I'd share my current top 5 fav worship songs:
-So Will I
-Let Go
-Oceans 
-Holy Spirit
-Spirit Break Out

Top: Victoria's Secret PINK Sport Leggings: Victoria's Secret PINK {similar} Shoes: Famous Footwear Bracelet: Ringly

Hi friends! It is SO incredibly HOT here in north Texas right now- I'm dying. I just had to share my current fav athleisure outfit  {AKA: what I am wearing when I get home, escaping this heat}. 
I love so many things about this outfit, but the color scheme is at the top of that list! I am obsessed with mint and obviously black goes great with everything! My crop tee is cotton and so comfy. It's a little warm to workout in so that's why I prefer it more for an athleisure look. It is currently sold out, so I am linking a VERY similar crop tee I also love from Madewell here. I have a striped version of this {wearing in my last post} that I adore and they are so similar- promise!
If you shop at VS PINK often you know their leggings change out so quickly so unfortunately I couldn't find the exact one, but I linked a similar option above. It's a marble print {which I am also obsessed with} but it has the same mesh pocket detailing and inserts along the legs.:) In the second to last picture you can see my hand tucked into the mesh pocket- I think this is such a cool design detail!! VS PINK has the best sport leggings- I have way too many pairs, but I just can't stop. They are always coming out with new designs and prints that are must-haves!
I feel like I post about these shoes like nearly every post, so if that doesn't tell you something..lol! But seriously, they are just so versatile and comfortable! A closet staple!
Lastly, I have also spoke about my Ringly bracelet before and I JUST learned that they are no longer manufacturing new products!:( I AM SO SAD ABOUT THIS! Their products were SO cool and inventive so I will definitely be on the lookout for a similar design to come out through another brand because I know this will not be the last we see from stylish wearable technology. I will keep y'all updated, but until then you may still be able to find a Ringly product for resale somewhere! They are so cute and functional so I totally recommend!

If you have any questions or need help styling your athleisure outfit, please don't hesitate to reach out!:)

Top: Madewell Shorts: Levi's Sandals: Universal Thread by Target​

Cliche Target obsessed girl photo above- I mean, it was too perfect for this post. PS: Bullseye is the cutest ever!
​Quick side note: I am OBSESSED with this shirt. It is currently sold out, but when it comes back in stock I highly recommend it! It's a new summer staple. 

Target has had SO much growth in the last few years, and most recently has become much more competitive with their pricing. Although, the best ways to get great deals aren't always obvious so I have made this insider's guide on just how to optimize getting the best prices on your Target Runs {online or in-store:)}!

Having the Target app is now a MUST. Remember a year ago when quite frankly the Target app sucked and its only real use was if you wanted to order something from Target.com? And remember that one time when Target confusingly had 2 apps- the other being Cartwheel, which was for their in-store coupons/ offers, but it also was terrible and glitchy? Well friends- NOT ANYMORE! {hallelujah!} Target put a lot of time and money into updating the Target app and merging the Cartwheel app into it and now it is flawless and amazing! Honestly, one of my favorite, most easy-to-use apps on my phone. It is free on both the Android and Apple app stores! If you still have your Cartwheel, go ahead and delete it. It is just taking up space on your phone and you can't use it anymore {but like who would want to anyway...}
There are SO many reasons this app is essential:
1. You can VERY easily order anything from Target.com on it and complete your order in minutes. I've literally ordered shoes at a bar once and it took me less than 2 minutes to complete the entire transaction- YAY! You can also select in-store pick-up or drive-up {select locations} for your orders on the app!
2. You can view the weekly ad digitally on your phone so no more hunting down that silly paper ad in the store and trying to fumble through the pages as you push your cart. Plus the coupons from the ad are conveniently located on the "wallet" tab for you to scan at checkout!
3. You can easily scan the barcodes on your items as you shop or before you get to the checkout to check for any Cartwheel offers {AKA: Target's "secret" coupons- only those that have the app can obtain!}. THEN: if your item has a Cartwheel offer it automatically adds it to your barcode on the top of your "wallet" tab so you can scan at checkout! All the offers you got from your items will them come off! There are usually over 600 offers in Cartwheel alone each week and sometimes they are as high as 50% off an item! The more you shop and use Cartwheel, the app will start to give you "exclusive" offers based on what you buy- so this is super helpful! Normally Cartwheel offers are in-store only, but sometimes you will see a code to use online to redeem the same offer!:)
4. If you have a REDcard you can add it very easily onto your app for an extremely quick checkout process. Under the "wallet" tab when you scan the barcode at the top for your Cartwheel offers, if you have a REDcard linked it will pay for your transaction at the same time! If you have giftcards then you can easily add them on your app and select them whenever you're ready to use them and then the app is smart enough to pay with any giftcards first and THEN your REDcard {if you have one linked}.
5. You can make your grocery list on the app before you head out to the store and not only will the app tell you where in the store the items should be located, it will add any valid Cartwheel offers to your barcode on the "wallet" tab for you! 
6. The app also will give you a map of whatever store you have "set as your store" so that you can easily navigate around!:)

The Target REDcard is another key to saving at Target. There is a debit and credit version of the card. I personally have the debit version and it is awesome because I don't have to worry about another credit card to pay off AND I get the exact same benefits as those that choose the credit version. It is whatever you prefer! The debit version links to your bank debit account and generally posts about 2 days after your Target Run. The benefits for both are:
1. You save 5% on EVERYTHING. This means if something is already on clearance and you use your REDcard then you get an additional 5% off. If there is a sale going on and you use your REDcard then you get an additional 5% off. Literally 5% on EVERYTHING. 
2. You get free shipping, which is amazing and Target actually offers pretty fast shipping, so yay!
3. You get an extended return policy!
4. You get early access to certain sales/ events/ etc. and exclusive offers!

Target RED is a new loyalty program Target is testing in Dallas- so all my Dallas friends & fam- listen up!
In an effort to be more competitive in the loyalty market, Target came out with RED which saves everyone 1% back on EVERYTHING {that is NOT a REDcard purchase}. This is not a card, it is just a simple loyalty program. Target recognized that some guests preferred using a different major loyalty program for all their shopping {ex. American Express credit card} and having all their points accumulate on one card. Target wanted everyone to be able to share in the excitement of loyalty with them so RED was the perfect solution. In addition to the saving 1% back on purchases you also get a vote for each purchase to where Target gives back to the community {you can use votes under the profile tab on the app}. Also, you get free shipping on Restock orders and 50% off your first year of membership with Shipt {Target's same day delivery service}.
RED is easy to activate. If your app is updated it should pop up asking you to join on the next time you open the app, but if not simply go to the profile tab and at the top on the Target RED banner click "learn more" and then "Join Target RED"- the end. That simple. Then your 1% savings will start accumulating in a new banner in your "wallet" tab, and you can click on the banner to use your earnings like a coupon at any time. You can even use your RED earnings online!
If you have a REDcard you still need RED. This is because you still earn a vote each time you purchase, even if you use your REDcard. Plus, if you ever use a giftcard then you will earn the 1% back on it. Also, if you use your Starbucks app to pay at Starbucks in Target you can scan your "wallet" barcode and earn 1% back on that purchase since you're paying with your Starbucks card and not your REDcard!:) You also get the 50% off your first year of Shipt membership if you're wanting to try that out!

As a Target obsessed girl, I have noticed some trends with sales, etc. at Target that help me further save so here I will share those findings:
1. NEVER pay full price for bedding, bath, or rugs. There is almost ALWAYS some type of sale, usually online more frequently than in-store, but it's typically like at least 15% off {normally more like 30%}.
2. The ad changes every week on Sunday, so if something is on sale make sure you take advantage before Sunday- or check to see how long that sale price is valid for {the end date is in the bottom left corner of the sticky sale sign that hangs on the shelf over the barcode of the item}.
3. After each season items go on clearance and sometimes there are Cartwheel offers that are valid for these clearance items that make them an even BETTER deal!
4. If you are ever in need of furniture check in-store or especially online because there are always some GREAT deals! I got my couch for $135 on clearance with my REDcard when it was BRAND NEW and it was originally $600. 
5. Each Target store does clearance differently. This is odd to me, but it makes for an exciting hunt on each Target Run! You never know what amazing treasure you might find. For example, my couch was significantly cheaper at one store on clearance than at another. Again, sometimes it's frustrating, but if you are diligent the end result of an incredible deal is worth it!

So to recap: have the Target app, utilize Cartwheel on it, get a REDcard, activate RED {if in Dallas}, be savvy when it comes to the ad and any deals going on/ coming up!

If you have any questions over any of this or need help saving at Target, please don't hesitate to reach out!:)

It's FESTIVAL SEASON! 
I am STILL so excited because yesterday I got to attend the Post Malone concert in Dallas with one of my best friends! Post Malone is definitely my 2nd love {right behind Taylor Swift of course} so I had a blast styling myself for this concert. It was at the new venue, the Toyota Music Factory and we got lawn tickets so we could dance and feel more festival-y haha! It was SO. MUCH. FUN. He was a great performing and I felt like I was in a dream getting to hear all his great songs LIVE!

My smocked tube top and denim shorts are both from PINK. The top runs a little small so size up one for the best fit {I'm wearing a S}! The shorts are SO nice & I added the distressing after purchase {mine are from last year- they have them every year in slight variation so this years already has distressing! Yay- linked above}! My all time fav Adidas shoes made for the perfect pairing! I think I blog about these shoes in like every other post lol- so there's not much more to say other than THEY. ARE. THE. BEST. 

Top: Target {similar} Jeans: Target Shoes: Nordstrom Earrings: Kendra Scott Necklace: Kendra Scott

One of the hottest trends this spring is definitely GINGHAM! At first I was hesitant to jump on board, but I'm so glad I did! I have a regular gray and white long sleeve button up and this adorable little top. I am SO sad Target has already sold out of it because I love the bell sleeves and the button up back! Button up backs are one of my favorite top elements! I paired it with these light pink raw edge skinnies, also Target's newer brand Universal Thread. I've talked about them before, but I will say again- they are a MUST for spring! Plus, they are under $30 so you can't go wrong! The fit is true, soft, and stretchy!
Since this particular top is sold out, I am going to link a few other gingham pieces that I'm loving! These Who What Wear Target skinny gingham pants are SO cute! I definitely have my eye on them! How cute would these be styled with a flowy white top?!
Target's A New Day brand has this perfect gingham rain jacket. I have it in black and if I needed another rain jacket it would be this one. I can't say enough good things about the fit, comfort, and value of this jacket! I actually really love the way they styled it with a red top and black leggings! Totally cute for those rainier days!
I found this cute gingham peplum off-the-shoulder top from Gap. It looks so comfortable and easy to style for any summer occasion! Bonus: it's under $25 on sale right now!
This top from Calvin Klein is the most closely related to the top I'm wearing so I totally recommend it! It's on sale for nearly 50% off right now making it under $35! Total steal! It's even black and white, just like mine {even though mine looks navy in the pictures:(}.
Quick highlight over my accessories: shoes are the iconic Miller sandal from Tory Burch and to this day I'm even a little shocked I spent nearly $200 on flip flops, but LADIES, let me tell you: IT'S SO WORTH IT! I literally dress these up or down so easily and they are even great for travel. Totally splurge- you won't regret it! {although, there are some pretty good dupes out there if you can't bring yourself to spend that much right now}. My earrings and necklace are again my fav: Kendra Scott! I linked them above, they are so easy to style so I 100% recommend!

If you have any questions or need help styling your gingham, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Shirt: Victoria's Secret Sport {similar} Sport Leggings: Victoria's Secret Sport {similar} Bralette: Victoria's Secret PINK {similar} Shoes: Famous Footwear

Lately I have been super into athleisure and this look from last year is still my fav. I had to link a lot of similar items because of this, but this look is just too good not to share!
I love the simple details of this top and the V-neck in the front is the perfect depth, so it's super flattering! It is cotton which isn't normally my fav fabric to workout in, but I do like how breathable it is! After researching, it looks like scoop necks are more in for this year's sport look, so I linked a VS Sport tank that's scoop neck but still has a cute open back! Plus, this one comes in 6 great colors and is under $25! I found a bit more similar top on Lululemon, but it is definitely more pricey. Another great brand I've been loving recently is Target's newer athleisure brand, JoyLab- definitely go check it out if you haven't already! There's some really cute stuff!:)
Even though I couldn't link my exact sport leggings I found some similar ones from VS PINK {my other go-to sport/ athleisure brand} and they are on sale for under $40! I think they are also a bit more comfortable than the pair I'm wearing. Even though I love my pair, because of the smoothing, wicking nature of the fabric they are very tight fitting. This does make them great for working out though!
I LOVE these bonded bralettes from VS PINK! They fit AMAZING and make my smaller chest look so good! Bonus: they are comfortable, fashionable, and go with basically everything! The only real difference between the one I'm wearing and the one I linked are the one I'm wearing does not have that extra detailing in the front just above the band. Also, it appears mine might have about 2 more straps across the back. Anyway, I have this style bralette in 2 colors and will probably get another soon- they are THAT great! I've also seen my exact style in stores recently, so I think they still offer it, just maybe not online!:) When doing a medium to intense workout I would definitely choose a more supportive bra though, this one is best for those lighter workout days- like yoga or walking the dog!:)
Y'all know how much I love these shoes, since I'm pretty sure this is at least my 3rd post in them already, lol. They just go great with everything and are so comfortable and simple. Right now they are on sale for 15% with the promo code on the website! Great time to get some if you haven't already!

I also wanted to take a quick minute to talk about two of my fav workout must-haves: my Camelbak water bottle and my Ringly bracelet. 
I linked both for y'all and can't express enough how much I love them. I now have 3 Camelbaks and I love them so much because honestly they are so different and fun to drink out of that they actually help me drink more water. To be honest, I don't really like water, so I have to find creative ways to get myself to drink more, and buying this water bottle helped greatly! Totally recommend. Plus, this brand has come such a long way since I bought my first one {which is the one I featured- love the pink!}. Now they have all kinds of accessories and a greatly expanded product line. I bought some of the colored drinking stems {linked here} because they come with a clear one and I just think the colored ones add a little more fun and personalization!:)
My Ringly was my college graduation present to myself last year and I love it. I love the mission/ morales behind the brand and my favorite part is that it solved a problem I had for awhile: ugly fitness jewelry. Before purchasing my Ringly I always wondered why Fitbits and similar brands had to be so ugly. They were not something I could transition from day to night outfits and that was disappointing to me since I wanted to track my steps, etc. ALL day long and not just whenever I had an outfit on that it would go okay with. Then I discovered Ringly and it's amazing. The company really strides for making your life better, more fashionable, and less "connected" {digitally, like not looking at your phone every other minute}. They implemented reminders to "stay mindful" throughout the day- like breathing exercises and guided meditation. It also alerts you through vibration and colored lights for alerts from your phone {you customize what these are- so maybe phone calls, calendar alerts, and emails}- this helps you to not feel like you need to check your phone constantly so that you can live more in the present. On top of all this it is still an activity tracker too- that you can literally wear at all times because it is SO cute! Can't say enough good things- go buy one! My color is from last year and their website wasn't working for me {I will update this once it is} so I linked their Instagram page where you can gather inspiration and see all the color/ style options!:)

If you have any questions or need help creating your fav workout outfit please don't hesitate to reach out!:)
