I just got this blue dress and I’m in love with it.  It would be the perfect wedding guest dress or event dress. The color is SO beautiful and vibrant – the perfect cheerful blue color for spring and summer!  Its so flattering and such a great fit. With the sale happening now it’s under $150!!

I’ve been wearing and raving about these gray jogger sweatpants for YEARS!  They are such a closet staple and something I wear multiple times per week. They are so comfy and great quality – they hold up so well and wash so well.

This black zip up hoodie is new, I had it in navy and loved it so much I got another color. The material is more silky-ish scuba material and super soft. I love that it feels a little more luxe than just a basic zip up sweatshirt

This gray scoop tank is another item I’ve had for years in multiple colors. Its such a great basic and something I wear all the time.

Abercrombie is one of my favorite places to buy swimsuits and when they are on sale like this, they are such a great price point for the amazing quality!  They are thick and hold their shape so well and don’t fade. I am loving this brown swimsuit – the white line detail is so flattering and the top is super supportive!  It comes in a cute one piece version too.

These cut off jean shorts are another major closet staple for me. I wear them ALL the time and they are such a great price right now with the 25% off!  They are so comfy and such a great length for chasing my kids around. Full outfit linked here.

This green dress is so beautiful and also included in the sale!! It would make such a great spring or summer wedding guest dress or bridesmaid dress. You can wear it with the sleeves up like I have shown, and I also love it with one side hanging off the shoulder too.

I’ve raved about these straight leg jeans so many times– for good reason!! You can’t beat the under $100 price for such a great pair of quality staple jeans. I love them dressed up with heels or down with sneakers.

I just got these new denim shorts and I LOVE them!!  They hold their shape so well and don’t crease – they are so flattering!  They are a little shorter and more fitted than my dad shorts I’ve had for a long time, so a good alternative if you are looking for a different style.  Wearing with my Abercrombie scoop tank!

It wouldn’t be an Abercrombie sale without me mentioning my family’s FAVORITE hoodies!!! My entire family wears and loves these essential hoodies. They are SO soft and cozy – they wash so well.  I wear the mens size large for an oversized comfy fit!

Another view of my go to Abercrombie jeans in a darker color that included in the sale! Love these with no distressing- they are perfect dressed up with heels like shown here.

Wedding event dress roundup – these are all 25% off making them under $150 each!! They have so many beautiful dresses right now its hard to choose. These are perfect for all wedding events – as a wedding guest, a bridesmaid or rehearsal dinners and events.

Friday 5:  Beis luggage // black maxi dress // sunglasses // black travel tote // purse

Tortoise sunglasses:  I’ve had and loved these sunglasses for years!  They are really thick and sturdy feeling — they feel super expensive and they are under $100!  I love the gold line detail across the top, it makes them look more luxe. The large size of them gives great face coverage from the sun too! They come in multiple colors. Love these!

Woven shoulder bag:  This woven purse is so classic!  I’ve had it for years and I pack it on every beach vacation trip we take. It goes with everything and makes the perfect vacation purse. I love the chain strap detail on it. Highly recommend!

Black Skims Dress:  This long black maxi dress is another item I have had and loved for years. Its so comfy and stretchy – I pack this on every trip and love wearing it on the airplane. I love that its so comfy that I feel like I’m wearing pajamas but I look put together at the same time. The black is my favorite, its super flattering. I have and love the long sleeve version too!

Suitcase:  These beis suitcases are my all time favorite suitcases. They are so sturdy and such amazing quality. If you travel freqently enough, they are totally worth the investment!  I love how stylish all the different color options are, and the hard shell makes it so easy to wipe clean after traveling. I love this black beis weekend bag too! This full travel outfit and other beis suitcases I have and love – linked here. 

Black travel bag:  This Baggu cloud bag is seriously amazing!! I’ve used it on so many trips over the years and its held up so well. Its a great price point for how much use I get out of it!  Its like jumbo sized and holds so much. The black color and material is easy to keep clean too.

Friday Five: Purse // Black Travel Tote // Sunglasses // Beis luggage // Black skims dress

The post Friday Five: Travel Must-Haves appeared first on Hello Fashion.

DETAILS: SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | BLAZER (UNDER $70-SIZE XL) | DRESS (UNDER $30-SIZE SMALL) | SADDLE BAG (UNDER $50)

This nude dress is under $30 and super versatile for everyday wear. I love that the side ties are adjustable to so you can loosen or tighten depending on the length you want it. I wanted a dress that hit at the same length as the blazer and this was so perfect to be able to adjust to the exact length that I wanted. I’m wearing the size small here and it comes in 7 other colors.

DETAILS: SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | BLAZER (UNDER $70-SIZE XL) | DRESS (UNDER $30-SIZE SMALL) | SADDLE BAG (UNDER $50)

I was blown away by this designer look-a-like saddle bag I found – the quality is amazing! I ordered both the tan and black but thought the black looked a little more expensive in real life. It’s under $50 and has two straps so you can wear it as a crossbody with the longer strap or as a shoulder bag with the shorter strap.

DETAILS: SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | BLAZER (UNDER $70-SIZE XL) | DRESS (UNDER $30-SIZE SMALL) | SADDLE BAG (UNDER $50) | SNEAKERS

OLLIE: CREAM SET (UNDER $20) | WHITE NIKES (UNDER $100) | SOCKS SET (UNDER $20)

I’ve always found such great matching sets for Ollie on Amazon that are affordable, super cute, and comfortable for him to wear. Ollie’s cream set is under $20 and comes in 7 other colors. The fabric is super soft and he wears the size 18-24 months. Also obsessed with his mini white Nikes! I have a major obsession with babies in Nikes haha.

I love sharing my favorite Amazon finds with you guys! I recently made this Amazon Family Summer Style Guide that you can check out here. Let me know what you think!

The post How To Style An Oversized Blazer For Summer appeared first on Hello Fashion.

My new fave designer bag 😍  love the linen, gold chain, pretty tan leather on this YSL – every detail is amaaazing!

Nothing like pretty whites, linens, and sheer details for summer – great designer bag options if you’re on the hunt!

LINEN YSL BAG | PEBBLE STACKED NUDE SANDAL (ON SALE 30% OFF; ALSO GOT THESE – LOVE THE ORANGE!) | TAN JOGGERS | MUSCLE TANK

You guys know how much I love handbags. I feel like bags and shoes get the most wear and make the biggest statement. There was a time when I was investing in and building up my designer bag collection, getting a few new designer bags a year. But then I went through a phase I wasn’t really inspired or in love with a lot of the new bags until this year! There have been so many cute bags out this year. The second I saw this one I fell in love, the linen 🤩 it’s even more beautiful in person. Saks has had the best selections this year. I also grabbed this cute denim shoulder bag – definitely a more budget-friendly price point and I love the 90s shoulder bag silhouette!

I’ve been so drawn to color this year, I wanted to share some brands I’m loving right now. These are all major statement-making brands, especially their summer collection, that would be a worthy focal point in any closet. Here are some of my favorites!

FARM RIO – These tropical and floral prints are the things dreams are made of – you can help but smile in their pieces. Love all the silhouettes too – some full sleeve, long sleeve, short sleeve, one shoulder, off the shoulder, cross back – a little bit of everything! These dresses are a must for any beach getaways you have planned.

SIGNIFICANT OTHER – Think feminine, flattering dresses and matching sets in the best prints and colors! I first tried this brand a few months ago when I ordered this top and loved it even more in person.

PATBO – This collection speaks for itself. Every single piece feels like it belongs on the Italian Coast or on a yacht on Lake Como. Honestly, I can’t even put it into words. Stunning, thoughtful cut-outs, statement cropped tops and swimwear, gorgeous prints and colors – truly one of the most amazing designers for summer!

STAUD – This brand feels a little more youthful and fun – from 90s shoulders bags to these pretty sandals to fresh color blocking. Also, most of their pieces are a pretty good price point for such high quality. Also ordered this cute matching track set – love the texture variation for each leg!

ACLER – These dresses will make anyone feel like $1m and every detail is perfection. Each silhouette feels so fresh and current – great options for wedding guest dresses too!

AGUA BY AGUA BENDITA: Another brand with gorgeous, art-like prints but their color palettes feel a little simpler (at least in comparison to Farm Rio). Also love their swimwear!

CULT GAIA: This has been one of my go-tos for summer style – from their gorgeous swimsuits to statement shoes to bags that you’ll want to wear all summer. It definitely leans more towards neutrals, but this summer has some new colorful finds. (Also obsessed with their dresses this season!)

ALICE & OLIVIA: I’ve been wearing this brand for years, but their summer collection is better than ever so I had to share. Their neons are breathtaking and dresses are stunning (also love this one). Great designer for everything from dresses to workwear to activewear (their biker shorts are 😍😍).

ZIMMERMANN: Another tried and true designer but no list of statement-making brands would be complete without Zimmermann. It’s always the first designer I search when I’m looking for a statement dress for easter or a new show-stopping swimsuit. Each piece is designed with the most intricate details, beautiful patterns and prints, and always such feminine silhouettes. Also, always an investment but one that will pay off.

1. COLORBLOCKED DRESS
2. SHEER SLEEVED CROP TOP
3. ORANGE CUT-OUT BODYSUIT
4. NEON YELLOW TROUSERS
5. STRIPED RAINBOW BUTTON UP
6. YELLOW SANDALS
7. PINK LIP GLOW
8. WHITE SCALLOPED TOP AND SKIRT
9. GOLD RUFFLED ONE PIECE
10. TROPICAL MINI DRESS
11. FLORAL CUT-OUT MAXI DRESS
12. BLUE BIRD PRINT DRESS
13. WHITE SHOULDER TOTE
14. BLUE SANDALS
15. TROPICAL PRINT SWIMSUIT
16. JO MALONE NASHI BLOSSOM PERFUME

The post This Bag Was An Immediate Add-To-Cart appeared first on Hello Fashion.

DETAILS: BROWN TWO-PIECE (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE M) | SUN HAT (UNDER $100) | WHITE LINEN BUTTON DOWN (UNDER $50 – WEARING SIZE L) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $15) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $15)

I love this brown two piece from Amazon for a neutral beach-ready look. I ordered it in the blue too and loved it so much I had to get it in this pretty brown. It’s super flattering and looks 10x more expensive than it is. I’ve been loving the pretty linen button-down look as an easy coverup and found this one in multiple colors – it’s a super easy piece you can just throw on for the day as a beach cover up or with denim cut-offs for a day out. For accessories I’m obsessed with this hat! I don’t have anything in this color tone and the cord detail is so good. Also found this one that is under $25. Hats are a must for any beach getaway! also love these colorful rings and beaded chokers to bring in more color.

DETAILS:  CREAM TWO-PIECE (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM) | FLORAL HANDBAG (UNDER $20) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $15) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $15)

This multi-color cream two-piece is under $25 and such a good fit! It’s super comfortable and good coverage so it’s functional too (a must with kids!) Love the color palette too. Also got this black & white floral bag – it’s one of those things Tiktok made me buy and I was still a little skeptical until I got it in person and now I’m obsessed. It’s a fun statement accessory and perfect to take down to the pool or beach if you’re packing light.

DETAILS: SUN HAT | CROP TOP (UNDER $20 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM) | SHORTS (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | SANDALS (UNDER $30 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM – USUALLY SIZE 9)

These shorts are such a steal! They are under $25 and are a super lightweight material that’s perfect for surviving the summer heat. I got them in a size S and M and they both fit but I liked the looser fit of the medium. So I would size up if you’re in between sizes. I paired them with this knit tank which is another one of my favorite finds. It’s super versatile and so easy to style (also under $20!).

DETAILS: BLACK DRESS (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE S) | RIBBED CLUTCH (UNDER $40) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | SANDALS (UNDER $30 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM – USUALLY 8)

This black dress is probably the biggest silhouette of the season. So sleek and sophisticated but the flirty cut-outs make it perfect for summer. It’s under $25 and comes in multiple colors – love this look for a night out or romantic dinner on the beach! So good with this brown ribbed clutch and gold-chain sandals.

DETAILS: BLACK SET (UNDER $40 – WEARING SIZE S ) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | SANDALS (UNDER $30 – MEDIUM – USUALLY SIZE 8)

I shared this black set the other day and it’s selling fast. It it’s the easiest summer outfit but also super versatile since you can mix and match with other pieces. Love the ruffled detail on the top and the slit on the pants makes it feel like such a statement piece. Ordered in both blue and white. Huge steal under $40 for the set!

DETAILS: SUN HAT | CROP TOP (UNDER $20 – WEARING SIZE MEDIUM) | BLACK PANTS (UNDER $40 – WEARING SIZE S) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | SANDALS (UNDER $30-MEDIUM) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $12) | LEATHER CLUTCH (UNDER $40)

Here’s an example of mixing and matching the bottoms from this set. One of the reasons I love neutrals so much is you can combine them for endless outfits – a must when you’re traveling! Love the lightweight trousers with this pretty knit crop – just add a sun dat to keep it feeling summery for an easy daytime look.

Sharing a few more of my favorite neutral beach-finds below!

DETAILS: BROWN TWO-PIECE (UNDER $25) | SUN HAT | CROP TOP (UNDER $20) | SHORTS (UNDER $25) | LEATHER CLUTCH | SANDALS (UNDER $30) | BLACK DRESS (UNDER $25) | WHITE SHIRTDRESS (UNDER $35) | CREAM TWO-PIECE (UNDER $25) | BLACK SET (UNDER $40) | STRAW BAG (UNDER $30) | TANNING DROPS | SUNSCREEN

Ok moving on to my colorful beach finds!

DETAILS: TIE-DYE BIKINI (UNDER $25 – WEARING SIZE M) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $15) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $15) | GOLD RING (UNDER $50)

Love the strap detail on this tie-dye bikini! I’m wearing it in a medium – it definitely runs a little small so if you are in between sizes I would recommend sizing up. (I could’ve even sized up to a large in the top.) It’s pretty cheeky as far as swimsuit bottoms go but the print is so good! Such a fun suit for summer.

DETAILS:  MULTI-COLOR STRAPPY BIKINI (UNDER $30 – WEARING SIZE M) | SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | SANDALS (UNDER $30-MEDIUM) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $12)|  GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $15)

Another colorful bikini I couldn’t resist. This one comes with this pretty scarf to wrap as a bottom. It’s a great cover up and I love all the bold colors together! Ordered it in a few different colors and similar set with longer wrap skirts, but this one was by far my fave. Obsessed!

DETAILS:  GREEN ROMPER (UNDER $35) | SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $15)|  GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $15)

Any romper this cute for under $50 is a huge win in my book. Love the full silhouette so it reads like a dress but the shorts make it functional enough to be able to wear out and about without having to worry about keeping things covered.

DETAILS: ORANGE RIBBED SET (UNDER $30) | WHITE LINEN BUTTON UP (UNDER $35 – WEARING SIZE L) | SUNNIES (UNDER $15) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $12)|  GOLD RING (UNDER $50) | BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $13) | RIBBED CLUTCH (UNDER $40)

I saw someone where an oversized linen button up over a biker shorts set and I was instantly in love! The linen button up is the perfect way to dress up your biker shorts set to make it a little more put together and sophisticated. And how good is this shade of orange!! So pretty! It comes in 7 colors. Also love it with this cute ribbed clutch to take it from gym ready to brunch ready.

DETAILS:  MULTI-COLOR STRAPPY BIKINI (UNDER $26) | TIE-DYE BIKINI (UNDER $25) | GREEN ROMPER (UNDER $35) | MULTI-COLOR BIKINI TOP/SKIRT (UNDER $30) | ORANGE RIBBED SET (UNDER $30) | WHITE SHIRTDRESS (UNDER $35) | COLORED RINGS (UNDER $12)| BEADED NECKLACE (UNDER $13)

The post What To Pack For Your Beach Vacay appeared first on Hello Fashion.

Obsessed with this dress! The scrunched sleeve detail is such a pretty detail but also makes it easy to transition the dress for spring and summer if you want shorter/longer sleeves and to give it more of a full, voluminous sleeve.

DETAILS: WHITE DRESS (WEARING SIZE XS) | DENIM SHORTS | EMBELLISHED SANDALS (UNDER $100) | BLACK WOVEN BAG (UNDER $50) | GOLD WATCH | SUNGLASSES (UNDER $10) | MAMA NECKLACE (UNDER $100) | BEADED BRACELET (UNDER $20) | OLLIE’S TRIKE

Yesterday was just one of those days where even the simplest moments feel like heaven. Chalk it up to the kids being out of school or feeling like summer is finally here – either way I had such a fun time just hanging out at the mall with Beckam and Ollie! We’re heading out of town later this week and I needed to grab a few things for our trip, so it turned into a whole evening. We ran through the fountains and Beckam collected blank gift cards. It was so fun just to be able to walk around and enjoy shopping and the boys being silly. Beckam is so much fun to hang out with right now – I’m loving this age so much! He’s so silly and makes me laugh all the time. Love these moments together. XX

I always get so many questions on Ollie’s trike. It’s a trike meets stroller and the best thing ever! Cannot recommend it enough!

Ollie is as obsessed with the strawberry lemonade as his mom. If you haven’t tried the Nordstrom strawberry lemonade, it’s sooo good!

Beckam told me last night that he wants to be a dad when he grows up – so he wanted to push Ollie. ❤️❤️❤️

Almost didn’t see him there. 😉

Love this bag! It’s a great size and the zipper makes it perfect for a big carryall bag (especially for moms!) Under $50 – also ordered in tan!

It was so cute – he wanted to get a black backwards hat so he could match his dad on our trip. It’s crazy because he looks so much like his dad here too. He’s seriously his dad’s little twin.

Never ceases to make me laugh. Love this kid. ❤️❤️

DETAILS: CROCS

Guysssss who else is on the Croc train? I love them on Ollie and somehow ended up trying them on at Nordstrom and kind of love them. Tried them on in this pretty blush, lilac, and pink/orange color and they are all so pretty! I went home with two colors. (Can you guess which?)

Wanted to share a closer look at this dress in better lighting – it has the prettiest texture on the material and love the silhouette. Would also make a great cover up!

Linking a few more of my recent summer Nordstrom finds below!

The post Summer Nights & Shopping appeared first on Hello Fashion.

1. SUMMER’S BEST-SELLING SCARF (UNDER $10)

Head scarves are the #1 accessory of the summer in my book! They are the most versatile piece and can be worn is so many ways: as a top (worn with this turquoise scarf), as a head wrap, in your hair, around your bag or even as a bag (I’ll be sharing this trick soon), as a belt, around your hat – the options are endless! I’m obsessed with the color of this scarf with the light pink on top with the contrast on the bottom.

I made a quick 20 second tutorial on how I tie my head scarves here (it’s super easy!).

2. ONE PIECE SWIM (UNDER $25)

You all have been asking for more one piece options and this one is a WIN WIN WIN. This cute one piece I ordered is under $25 and comes in a navy blue and a leopard print as well. The cinched waist is super flattering and you can adjust it to fit you just right! Neutral one pieces can also double as body suits so it’s a great way to get more wear out of it for beach trips etc. I accessorized the black one-piece with this pink scarf head wrap, sunnies, and this cute beaded necklace. Beaded jewelry is one of my favorites right now too – another great essential to have!

3. SUMMER DENIM SHORTS (UNDER $40)

What’s summer with out a cute pair of cut off denim shorts. These Levi cut-offs have been my go-to pair recently. I wear them in a size 27 for a more relaxed fit. These shorts JUST RESTOCKED so snag some while you can! They come in multiple washes and are the perfect length!

DETAILS: SANDALS (UNDER $30)| PINK SCARF (UNDER $10)| SUNNIES | ONE-PIECE (UNDER $25)|  WHITE BUTTON DOWN (UNDER $50)

4. CHIC SUMMER SANDALS (UNDER $30)

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect tan sandals and I finally found some I’m obsessed with! I love the buckle detail and they come in multiple colors, the black is super cute as well. They are under $30 and pair well with so many outfits. Also love this pretty button down! Got it in size large for an oversized, coverup feel.

5. STATEMENT SUMMER SUNGLASSES (UNDER $15)

Last but not least, every girl deserves to find her perfect pair of sunglasses! I’ve been wearing these in black and tortoise non-stop since I got them. They are amazing Celine look-a-likes and under $15 so you don’t feel guilty trying them out.

I’ve also added more of my favorite summer sandals here and some of my favorite colors this season  here.

The post 5 Summer Staples Every Girl Needs Under $50 appeared first on Hello Fashion.

DETAILS: TAN TERRY SHORTS (ON SALE & UNDER $20) | TAN TERRY TOP (ON SALE & UNDER $20) | BAG | WHITE SNEAKERS 

The best part about matching sets is how well they pair well with so many pieces. Since the set is neutral I paired it with this woven bag to add some color and then a pair of white sneakers since I was going for a more casual look. I’m wearing a size medium in the top and a size small in the shorts.

DETAILS: TAN TERRY SHORTS (ON SALE & UNDER $20)| BAG | WHITE TEE (UNDER $15)| WHITE SNEAKERS

OLLIE: SHIRT | OVERALLS (ON SALE & UNDER $20)| SNEAKERS

For a casual, carefree look, throw on a pretty knit top and a pair of sneakers. This tee is super lightweight so it works for the warmer weather too and it has the cutest lace detail on the neckline! Also love this woven bag – great size, great price, and comes in multiple colors. I also found these adorable overalls for Ollie that are on sale – one of my favorite outfits for him right now!

DETAILS: TAN TERRY SHORTS (ON SALE & UNDER $20) | TAN TERRY TOP (ON SALE & UNDER $20) | SANDALS

This neutral monochromatic look from the matching set is so cute with some statement sandals! These sandals are under $100 and I love the jewel detail on them.

DETAILS: BLAZER (UNDER $100)| BLACK TOP (UNDER $15)| TAN TERRY SHORTS (ON SALE & UNDER $20)| SANDALS

Blazers are the best piece to transition pretty much any look! I stole this one from Cody’s closet, but any oversized blazer is perfect. Throw them over a pair of leggings and white sneakers, with some leggings and a cropped tee, or over a pair of sweat shorts. They completely change your look! If you wanted to dress up these pretty nude shorts for a night out, pair them with a simple black top and your fave oversized black blazer. I threw on some black sandals but you can also make it a heeled sandal for something even a little dressier.

DETAILS: TAN TERRY SHORTS (ON SALE & UNDER $20)| TAN TERRY TEE (ON SALE & UNDER $20)| BUCKET HAT | WHITE SNEAKERS

You can’t go wrong with monochromatic matching sets, especially when you take it to the accessory level! Bucket hats are super trendy right now so I love adding them to to my outfits for a fun look! I think the daisy detail on this hat (under $20) is so cute and goes will with this matching set. I threw on some white sneakers to complete the look. I know bucket hats haven’t caught on all the way yet but they are definitely on the rise!

DETAILS: SWEAT SET TOP (ON SALE & UNDER $25) | SWEAT SHORTS (ON SALE & UNDER $20) |  WHITE SNEAKERS

I’m in love with the color of this comfy and casual sweats matching set. I got a medium in the top and a small in the shorts. So cute with some white sneakers! This matching set also comes in grey and black.

The post 6 Ways to Wear Your Matching Sets This Summer appeared first on Hello Fashion.

With summer just around the corner, I wanted to share some recent Amazon Swim finds – all are under $50! Let me know which one if your fave below in comments!

BEST FOR AN ADULT GETAWAY: BLACK ONE PIECE (UNDER $30)

Classic but a little flirty – perfect for a girls trip or adult getaway! So pretty in person and I love that you can tie the straps in multiple ways depending on what features you want to play up or down. Super feminine and one of those swimsuits that you can’t help but feel confident in.

SIZE: SMALL

BUM COVERAGE: SEMI-CHEEKY

BEST ONE PIECE: LIME GREEN ONE PIECE  & HOT PINK ONE PIECE (UNDER $25)

Was not expecting to love these suits as much as I do! Super cute fit and flattering cut – it also has adjustable straps which I feel like is rare for such budget-friendly swimsuits. Love the detailing on the back too! Comes in 26 colors and prints – pretty neutrals, neons, and more!

SIZE: MEDIUM

BUM COVERAGE: FULL COVERAGE BUT STILL FLATTERING

FAVORITE OVERALL: RIBBED BLUE AND TEAL BIKINI (UNDER $20) | BLUE WOVEN BAG (SIMILAR HERE)

I could not believe the quality on this one! It was so good I did a double take at the price and was shocked (and then ordered it in multiple more colors haha – how pretty is this tan and black!?) The ribbed detail makes it feel really high-end and I love the multiple color combos.

SIZE: MEDIUM

BUM COVERAGE: SEMI-CHEEKY

BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT: NEON LEOPARD ONE PIECE

Super disappointed by this one! The colors in real life are a lot darker than online and in pictures and coverage is closer to a thong. Returning this one.

Love the halter and circle ring on this swim top 😍

DETAILS: BIKINI TOP & BOTTOMS | PLEATED MINI TOTE | EMBELLISHED SANDALS | SUN HAT | FLORAL TOP (SIMILAR HERE)

Cody always teases me for needing a full sized suitcase (or 2.. haha) no matter how long or short of a trip it is. I had a quick trip planned and decided to put myself to the test to see if I could scale it down to fit in a carry-on… Spoiler alert – I didn’t. 😂  But, I would have if I hadn’t packed my pillow! (Does anyone else have to pack their pillow when they travel to be able to get a good night’s sleep? 🙋‍♀️) But it still felt good to be able to scale down what I was packing to a few pieces to mix-and-match so here were some of my weekend getaway summer essentials:

DRESS (SIMILAR HERE)- Dresses are your best friend when you’re trying to squeeze a weekends’ worth of clothes and beauty products into a carry-on. They are an easy one and done piece. Love this pink dress! It’s a gorgeous color (perfect for Insta-worthy pics from your trip!) and the sleeves are sooo stunning! It’s also a really pretty material that you don’t have to steam after you unpack it. Super easy pieces to transition from pool side to dinner with the girls. Also love the silhouette of this one and how pretty is this one?

BIKER SHORTS – Summer is the season of biker shorts! For an easy, breezy look, pair some cute biker shorts with an oversized tank or tee and your favorite sandals and sunnies. (It also makes for a great travel look with an oversized sweatshirt and sneakers!) Obseeeeessed with this pretty floral pair – you can also get the matching top here.

SWIMWEAR:

MINIMAL TAN-LINES BIKINI TOP & BOTTOMS  – When I’m traveling with the family, I’m all about the kid-proof swimsuits – something I can swim in and be super active in without worrying about Ollie getting his hands on a strap. But for girl’s trips, it’s all about find suits that will leave the least tan lines. This bikini is so beautiful, and I love that you can wear the straps multiple ways – tied up as a halter or around your torso.

ACCESSORIES:

PLEATED MINI TOTE – Just discovered this brand and I am in love! The pleating detail is absolutely stunning in person. I wanted a mini one that would fit in my carry-on for the trip, but the bigger version is next on my list! Soooo good!

SUN HAT – Because #1, I need both good SPF and a sun hat if I’m going to be in the sun all day and #2, so cute! Love the frayed brim and it’s a great size to give you full shade from every angle.

SHOES:

EMBELLISHED SANDALS (ALSO COMES IN DENIM & WHITE) – I love a good pair of heels, but to save space I went for a pretty embellished sandal that can go from day to night, poolside to dinner.

Saks just launched their Spend/Get promotion where you can get up to $300 off your order with code: STYLE21SF. (Starts at $50 off orders of $250+ and goes all the way up to $300 off order of $1,000.

After the last year of just loungewear and cozy pieces, it’s the perfect chance to make up for lost time and spring on those cute swimsuits and spring/summer pieces to live it up this season!

OMBRE MAXI DRESS

After every trip to Hawaii, I always have a few DMs asking where we stayed, our favorite beaches, etc. Especially with spring break around the corner, I wanted to share a recap of our trip a couple weeks ago.  (I’ve shared a few recaps of where we’ve stayed and our favorite activities when we went as a family – this trip was more of an adult trip but I have multiple posts with guides on past Hawaii trips: a Maui Travel Guide, Oahu Family edition, and more of our Oahu faves here.)

Since I’ve shared a lot of our favorites in the past posts, I’m just going to highlight my favorites from this trip like what to eat, where to stay, and where to play (like beaches, hikes, etc. 🙂

DETAIL: BLACK BEACH DRESS

EAT:

Best Burgers: Seven Brothers

So good I ate it before I could get a picture haha.

Food Truck: Shrimp

Shave Ice: Matsumoto

Dessert: Leonard’s Bakery & Ted’s Bakery

From Leonard’s I always get the Cream Malasadas. Ted’s has a bunch of different pies but I think the one I had was Chocolate Haupia (coconut) Pie – their signature!

STAY:

Marriott Beach Club Ko Olina

DETAILS: PINK HIGH-WAISTED SHORTS (TONS OF COLORS – UNDER $30!)

This was our first time staying here. We did a two bedroom condo and shared it with Cody’s family. Its great if you are traveling with friends. They have a kitchen, so you can cook some of your meals if you want to, it’s nice for breakfast especially. The views are gorgeous, I love seeing the ocean, mountains and beach all right there. It’s a little ways from down town so it’s not as busy and you have private beaches just for the resort.

PLAY:

Kahauloa Cove

This cove reminded me so much of the beaches in Europe! It’s right down from Hanama Bay. The water was crazy clear and sooo pretty! We saw turtles and whales – one whale fully jumped out where you could see it’s entire body. I’ve never seen that from the beach before – one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen!

The Pillbox Hike (Lanikai)

DETAILS: TIE DYE SWEATSHIRT | PINK HIGH-WAISTED SHORTS

This is one of our favorite hikes. The views are amazing and it’s pretty moderate – it’s a little less than 2 miles. We’ve also done with the kids but were able to go a little farther to the second view point just adults cause Beckam was like 4 when we went and got really tired. So depending on your kids age it could work with kids 🙂

When it broke 50 degrees in Salt Lake last week I started getting all the warm-weather clothes cravings. Here are some of the warm-weather ready pieces in my cart right now:

SWIMSUITS:

You guys know I’m a sucker for swimsuits. I’m obsessed with this black one-piece. The cut is so flattering and feminine and I love the belt detail! Also love all the bright colored swimsuits – this green one is such a pretty color and also love this ombre one piece. I’m in love with this floral bikini set. It’s a beautiful print and the sleeves are so stunning.

SANDALS:

These slides are under $100 and so pretty! Comes in a nude and also a rainbow combo here. Love! I also ordered these sandals in the leather- a great price point and super comfortable and it comes in multiple colors. Also found these under $25 and how pretty are these blue slides??

SPRING STYLE:

So many gorgeous dresses and pants out right now – I can’t get enough! This balloon sleeve dress is gorgeous and also love the full sleeves on this pastel dress. I’m also head over heels for this ombre maxi dress – every detail is insane! The color, the fabric, the buttons, the full sleeves. Obsessed! These pants are another one of my favorite finds right now. It’s a pretty knit and love the slits. Perfect to pair with a bodysuit or as a swimsuit cover up. And of course, accessories! How good is this straw bucket hat! I also found this visor for under $50.

Here are more of my favorite warm-weather pieces in my cart right now. I also linked some of favorite Valentine’s pieces here if you’re still shopping for Valentine’s Day:

Tennis date night! Nothing like bonding while breaking a sweat 🥰

DETAILS: TIE DYE TEE (SIMILAR HERE) | BIKE SHORTS | TENNIS SHOES | SUNGLASSES

CODY: BLACK TEE | SHORTS | TENNIS SHOES

Date nights have been a little bit different lately for everyone – not your typical dinner and a movie. Cody and I have been trying to switch things up a bit and put our heads together to get creative. Dates are so important, and even more so now! A lot of couples are spending more time than ever, but rubbing elbows working in a confined space together, helping out with chores around the house, etc. is way different than quality, date time together. One thing Cody & I have been trying to do lately is get outside and be active for our dates. I’ve actually loved it more than your usual date because we really focus on each other more and feels great to take advantage of beautiful days by moving around!

Couples who workout together stay together right? The other day we decided to dust off our tennis rackets and go get a little competitive. Cody is the most athletic person I know – he is so good at everything he tries, which makes it impossible to really compete with him haha but it’s fun to try. It was such a fun memory too, so I wanted to put together some other active date ideas to try:

1. Rollerblading.
2. Pool Olympics. Our kids insist on getting in on this one!
3. Basketball. I grew up playing basketball, so I get a little more competitive with Cody on this one, haha.
4. Garage sale challenge. A great way to minimize your home too – see who can gather the most objects!
5. Take a new workout class together.
6. Physical fitness test.  A blast from the past – did anyone else have to do physical fitness tests in elementary school?
7. Outdoor ninja warrior course. The set up is just as fun as actually running the course, not to mention watching each other attempt it haha.
8. Scavenger hunt. Have you and your partner create one then compare whose was the most fun!
9. Pickleball. A must try if you haven’t ever played – so fun.
10. Evening hike. Build a bonfire when you get to your destination!
11. Minute to win it challenges. Pinterest has great MTW ideas!
12. Croquet. This is one of my fams all-time favs!
13. Geocaching. Download the app or look up a nearby geocache online!
14. Teach each other something new.
15. Nerf fun war. The kids love to get in on this one too!
16. DIY mini-golf course. Try and see how complicated you can make each hole.
17. Fishing.
18. Make a Time Capsule. I love these so much- it’s so fun to go back and look at how much you’ve changed over the years.
19. Tennis.
20. Try a 2 person fitness challenge. We love to do team sit up with Ollie! He loves it so much!

Whats some of your favorite active date night activities with your partner? I would love to add to the list and get some new ideas! 🥰 Share some of you favorites below!

The post Why Date Night Matters Now More Than Ever + 20 Active Date Ideas appeared first on Hello Fashion.

DETAILS: KNIT TOP (ON SALE UNDER $25) | JEANS (UNDER $100) | FLIP FLOPS (ON SALE UNDER $10 – MULTIPLE COLORS) | BAG | SUNGLASSES | CHAIN | EARRINGS

I love this look! These everyday blue jeans are versatile and super comfortable- paired with this knit tank (on sale under $25) to keep you cool on a hot summer day. These sunnies are the perfect color to go with everything, and who doesn’t love an effortless flip flop? This look is great for a casual day working from home.

DETAILS: PINSTRIPE DRESS (ON SALE UNDER $30) | VANS | BAG | EARRINGS | SUNGLASSES

This outfit is so easy and effortless! Perfect for throwing over a swimsuit or wearing alone, I love this pinstripe dress – it comes in two other colors and I also have in white and black! I’ve been wearing these simple gold hoopss literally every day because they go with any outfit so well. Also I thought this bag was so adorable! Perfect addition to your summer looks.

DETAILS: LEVI PULLOVER | SHORTS (ON SALE UNDER $20) | OVERSIZED TOTE | SHOES | SUNGLASSES

A comfortable, yet stylish playdate outfit. This monochrome look can be put together so fast and is one of my favorites! I love this cute oversized tote paired with a sporty sneaker like this Adidas pair. A comfortable pullover and some paper bag shorts and you’re on your way!

DETAILS: DENIM JACKET | SHOES | TANK (TUCKED UNDER BRA FOR CROP LOOK) | JOGGERS | BAG | SUNGLASSES | EARRINGS

If you’re looking to swap out your old sweatpants, you have to get these joggers! They’re the perfect pant to throw on when running to the grocery store quick. Love them paired with a basic white tank and some black sunnies like these. To transition to a casual dinner look, throw on a denim jacket like this one, I love an oversized look so I always go up one size!

DETAILS: JEANS | SHOES | TOP | CHAIN | SUNGLASSES | BAG

Statement jewelry is my weakness right now. It completes a look so well when you feel like you’re just missing something. I love this gold link chain and how it complements these tortoise shell sandals for a more dressed up look without putting in the time. A great lightweight summer top is this one I’m wearing, and I love it tucked into these extra high rise black jeans! This is an effortlessly chic outfit for grabbing lunch with friends or taking a picnic to the park with the kids!

Below are some other pieces to put together effortless summer looks:

I have been in a major sunglasses funk lately. It might sound weird, but a fresh pair of sunglasses can change the game. They are hands down one of my most-worn accessories and always make an outfit feel more put together. I’ve had a few more closet additions this summer, but they always hit differently with a new pair of sunglasses, so that’s what I’ve been on the hunt for recently! I just got this pair and it’s really different from what I’ve been wearing lately. I love the delicate frames to make any outfit feel more dressed up. They are the perfect pair to go from day to night, whether you have to had into work for meetings, are heading to the pool, or heading out for date night. Also got these cat eye frames and this pair recently and love!

Below are some other sunglasses I’m loving! You guys sent me tons of great suggestions on stories the other day when I requested some of your favorite styles – linking some of my favorites you guys suggested here with other great accessories!

MARA: CHERRY BIKINI TOP AND BOTTOMS | WHITE SUNGLASSES

Summersalt just launched their Cherries collection and Mara and I both got a few pieces. It’s been so much fun twinning with her, especially now that’s she’s starting to fit into some of the brands I love and wear a lot.
