BEACH DAY ESSENTIALS UNDER $20
Happy Fry-Day!
We’ve spent the last few days at the beach for our 10 year anniversary. It’s been such a fun little getaway relaxing on the beach all day and soaking up the sun. I packed this adorable black cut-out one piece swimsuit–the back is my favorite! It’s actually only $20 at Walmart and so dang cute. I did go up a size to a medium cause it runs a little bit small.
I also picked up this giant french fry inflatable float from Walmart and I’m legit obsessed. It was under $20 and so perfect for the beach or pool. We got soo many compliments on it and everyone wanted to know where it was from. Walmart has soo many cute swimsuits right now and almost all of them are right around $20!! You can check them all out here!!
FIT TIPS:
-Swimsuit runs small. I’m wearing size m

NATURAL MAKEUP–UNDER EYE BRIGHTENER
Lately I’ve been going for a more natural makeup look and I’m loving it. Especially heading into summer I don’t want anything too heavy on my skin. I picked up a few new eye products from Nordstrom that have been life changing. I’ve always struggled with dark under eyes and have tried sooo many concealers. Most of them end up looking cakey and heavy making my under eye area look even worse.
I came across the Instant Eye Lift from Trish McEvoy and after reading the rave reviews on Nordstrom I knew I had to give it a try. The formula is designed to brightens darkness & reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, sagging and puffiness for the appearance of a dramatically lifted eye. Umm, yes please! I got Shade 2 and it’s the perfect match. I tried shade 1 but it was too light and pinky for me. I think shade 2 will work for most skin tones, especially if you want a natural look.
This concealer instantly covered all of the darkness around my eyes and looked so natural. It’s so lightweight I don’t even need to use powder to set it. I apply it in a triangle shape under my eye then tap to blend it in with the Trish McEvoy Cream Blender Brush.
I also picked up the Trish McEvoy eye brightener pencil from Nordstrom and it’s amazing. It instantly brightens your eyes and makes you look more awake. I apply it to my water line and the inner corner of my eyes.

DESERT VIBES
Today I chopped my hair off and it feels so dang good. It was time for a change so I went to my girl @hairby_chrissy I couldn’t be happier with it. We are spending the next few days in Arizona exploring the desert and I feel ready for the summer heat!!! I found this “desert dreaming” tank at Express right before our trip & it couldn’t be more perfect.
I personally love this look for any day of the week but it would be perfect for festival season or any upcoming summer concerts. This tank top is super soft & lightweight–perfect for some fun in the sun. I paired it with a pair of black cutoff shorts. They are such a good fit & can be worn with any top all summer long.
Express has soo many cute graphic tees that are perfect for festival season with that boho vibe. I just got a brand new code to get $25 off a $100 purchase both in-store and online. Just enter 8147 online or give the code to the associate at checkout in-store!

SUMMER STAPLES UNDER $50
Marky & I just touched down in Phoenix, Arizona. I’m here to get my final veneers put on and I’m so dang excited. (I will be sharing a full post on the experience so stay tuned.) Before our trip I placed a Nordstrom order for some good quality staple pieces. Nordstrom always has free shipping and returns with no minimums, so I never have to worry about placing an order online. This is definitely my summer uniform and will be on major repeat.
I just picked up this Socialite white button up shirt and it’s sooo good. It’s a closet staple, under $50, and can be worn all year round. The material is thicker which I like and the fit is perfect. It’s really great quality and you can wear it so many different ways. I’m going to be living in it this summer. I also found these Articles Of Society cutoff denim shorts–I could wear this combo everyday and be happy. I love the comfy relaxed fit of these. They are also under $50, and you can pop them on with anything and look super cute all summer long.

NEW HAIR TREATMENT
If you’ve been following me for awhile now you know I’ve spent the last 2 years trying to get my hair healthy again. Last month I started using the new Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots and have been using once a week in place of my conditioner. You guys, they are seriously life changing! And the best part is you can get them at Target!
The Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots are a deep conditioning hair treatment that doesn’t weigh your hair down. This is Pantene’s first at-home rescue treatment imported from Brazil. The formula coats your hair with Pro-Vitamin B5, strengthening lipids and natural glycerin that strengthen your hair and help protect it from further damage. It also helps prevent split ends–I noticed a difference the first time I used them! My hair is silky soft, it’s shinier, and much smoother—it feels like I just went to the salon! It’s no wonder it’s #1 selling new treatment item in the haircare category!
I’m still using the Pantene Rose Water Shampoo—I’ve been using it for a few months now & it’s my favorite drugstore shampoo. I apply the Pantene Pro-V Intense Rescue Shots after I wash my hair with shampoo and leave it on for 30 seconds and rinse for 30 seconds. I use these once a week!
FIT TIPS:
– Pajamas are TTS. I’m wearing size XS

BLACK LACE SWIMSUIT IN PARADISE
We’re have a super fun day at the beach! Relaxing by the lagoon, hanging out at the Four Seasons infinity pool, and eating everything in sight! When I saw this PilyQ lace bikini at Bloomingdales I knew I NEEDED it for this trip!! I’ve gotten soooo many compliments on it, and I even wore it to lunch and while walking the shops. I just threw on a black tank and was good to go. I paired it with these black patent Tory Burch Miller sandals which are the perfect beach shoe. Good for wearing all day, great looking and fine to get wet.
The lace print suit comes in a few different swim styles at Bloomingdales as well. You can check those out HERE and HERE. PilyQ also makes matching shorts and a lace coverup tunic that are so stinkin’ cute. With all the different options, you’re sure to fall in love with one!!

ALOHA 30
I can’t believe I turned 30 today! It’s not as scary as people say. Just another year on this earth to chase my dreams and thank God for all the amazing opportunities he’s given me. I’ll be spending this birthday in paradise with my hubby! We just got to the Four Seasons Oahu Hawaii and this place is amazing!!! Can’t wait to go exploring.
You know me, so the first thing I’ll be exploring is the yummy food on the island. I’m wearing this super cute cut-out maxi dress from Express for a birthday dinner at Mina’s Fish House. The place is upscale beachy so this floral print is a perfect match. The length of the dress is just right for my nude strappy sandals. I’m 5’1” and if I were just a tad taller I would wear it with flats for a more casual vibe. You guys have to check out the back of this dress! I absolutely love the cutout look with lace up detailing.
Express is my go-to when looking for vacation outfits. They always have so many great dresses for pretty much any location or occasion. You guys know I always try to get discount codes for you. Express just gave me a brand new code to get $25 off a $100 purchase both in-store and online. Just enter 8147 online or give the code to the associate at checkout in-store!

COMFY BASICS & TORY BURCH DUPES
You guys have been asking for more affordable fashion and I seriously hit the jackpot with today’s outfit. Everything I’m wearing is under $50 at Walmart. This distressed denim jacket is so dang good–I’m obsessed with all the rips. It’s UNDER $20 and super comfy. You can pop it over anything and look super cute. I’m wearing size small in the color “light blue”. I paired it with some comfy leggings, a white tank, and a cute baseball white cap–they are all under $36 at Walmart.
I am seriously so excited about these Sam Edelman Canyon sandals. They are a total dupe for Tory Burch Millers but only a fraction of the price! They’re only $50!! I wore them all day long and honestly, they are more comfortable than the Millers. I’m super impressed and highly recommend them. If you’re looking for some new spring sandals definitely give these a try. They come in lots of color options at Walmart!
