Weekly Inspiration
My weekly wednesday inspiration - take the time to do what's right. It's definitely a motto to live by.
Make A Statement
I wear a lot of neutral colors so I love accessorizing with colorful necklaces. I also LOVE Baublebar! They have the cutest necklaces and are so affordable. Here are some of my favorites!
May Favorites
1. Loft striped maxi skirt (not listed online, but available in stores)
^ I was a little nervous buying my first maxi skirt, but this Loft skirt was so adorable I couldn't pass it up. I LOVE it. Maxi skirts are so comfy and cute at the same time. Because my office is more on the casual side, I will definitely be able to wear it to work and get so much use out of it!
2. Stella and Dot on the Mark necklace
^After posting about how I had my eye on this necklace here, I decided that I had to get it for the summer. It's so delicate and cute and goes with everything. It will definitely become a staple for the summer.
3. Loreal BB cream
^I read a review about bb cream and it said that Loreal had the best budget cream, so I had to pick it up when I was at CVS. I love it! It's not too heavy on your skin {great for summer}, it covers imperfections and matches my skin tone so well - I have to say that i'm a bb cream convert now! And for only $10.99 when brand name creams are around $40, you absolutely can't beat the price.
4. Jergens natural glow lotion
^Now that it's starting to get warm it's time to start breaking out my shorts and skirts. Unfortunately, my legs haven't seen sunshine in months and are scary. This is the best lotion that gradually adds a natural looking color, doesn't get streaky and actually smells decent!
5. OPI nail polish in Alpine Snow
^ I've been really into white nail polish lately - it just goes with everything and looks so chic. I like this polish because it actually covers in 2 coats and you don't see the brush strokes. The color actually lasts a solid 4-5 days before chips as well!
Favorite Pins From This Week
I spend a little too much time on Pinterest, i'll admit that. So I finally figured that if i'm putting in all of that time, I might as well organize my favorite finds into a weekly blog post!
1. Favorite Recipe - Summer Spaghetti
^I love pasta and this is a great way to make it a little lighter for the summer time! Bonus - it's a super easy recipe to make for a weeknight when you don't feel like cooking.
2. Favorite Sweet Treat - Lofthouse cookie knock off recipe
^ These are the cookies you can buy at Target and Giant and are so soft and yummy. I'm obsessed with them and can easily eat the entire package in a day. I can't wait to try to make them myself - to then eat the entire batch in a day.
3. Favorite DIY - Make your own party pom-poms
^I'm planning a bridal shower and think that this would be the perfect inexpensive decoration to help add some color to the festivities!
4. Favorite Printable - You're a Peach
^I love switching out the pictures that are in frames around our house. If I was constantly buying new pictures, this could get super expensive. Instead I just find adorable and fun graphic printables that I can add in to the frames. This fun saying is currently displayed on my entrance table and makes me smile every time I grab my keys.
5. Favorite Style Item - Mint colored Vans sneakers
^As soon as I saw these vans sneakers making their way around Pinterest, I knew that I had to have them. I've been looking for a cute pair of sneakers that go with skinny jeans to wear when we run errands {like to Home Depot - because ballet flats just don't cut it there} I bought them later that day and can't wait until they arrive! {side note, these will be my first sneakers that i've owned since high school - running shoes not included}

Flat Out Obsessed
I LOVE ballet flats. It's a small obsession. I wear them almost every day to work and have about 15 different pairs.
Here are a few that I love love for spring and summer at a few different price points. These are all perfect to wear to the office, running errands on the weekend or meeting some friends for happy hour!
Yellow Ballet Flats // Yellow Woven Flats // Sling Backs // Gold Tory Burch Flats // Pink Ankle Flats

Weekly Inspiration
After the super fun exciting weekend that I had, my weekly inspiration is to never stop exploring! We had such a blast just wandering in to random places in DC that I want to have that spill over in to my every day life. To never stop trying new things or going new places.
