My Bridal Shower

 Me & my Maid of Honor Danielle

 Me & my mom 

 My bridesmaids Laura & Amy and MOH Danielle (in green)

 My Aunt Brenda & Aunt Charlotte (dad's sisters)

 This was before everyone was there (including me)

Hi guys! It has been forever since I've done a post and I apologize. Planning a wedding is basically a full time job on top of working a regular job. I haven't had time to fit in anything else especially helping my fiance with work on the weekends. Today is officially 6 weeks until the day!! I still have so many things to get done and it feels like time is fast forwarding. 

My shower was on June 9 and it was so beautiful! I didn't have any professional photos taken so these are some that friends and family took.  The shower took place at Pure North Fork in Wading River, NY. We got so lucky with the weather because the weekend before it was cold and I think even raining. 

My dress is from last summer from Mint. 

Thank you so much for reading!

Covina Off-The-Shoulder

Hello ladies! Hope everyone's week is going well! 

Last week was kind of a disaster...I had an infection in my eye, I fell at work, and the weather was cold, cloudy, and rainy so taking pictures was a little difficult. As you can see in the above pics there's no sun but at least it wasn't raining! 

On to the outfit......I love this shirt from Anthropologie so much! The color and the fact that it's off-the-shoulder are what attracted me to it immediately. It is perfect for a cooler day when you don't quite need a jacket yet. It is currently on sale for $9.95!  And this bag! How much does it look like this Chloe bag!!  I got this bag from Mint in store, however, I don't see it on the site. It was on sale for $40! The name inside of it says Inzi. I tried looking for bags with that name online but can't find that exact bag! :(  I am so bummed that I can't share this great find with you guys! I did find other cute grey bags at affordable prices here, here, and here! 

Top ~ Anthropologie ~ Also loving this one and this one

Jeans ~ Paige ~ similar here 

Bag ~ Inzi ~ love these here, here, and here

Stripes

Hello Girls!

The shirt I'm wearing is by Free People and I bought it at the store Mint. It is one of my favorite places to shop and there are several locations near me. I love how thin the stripes are and this shade of blue is so pretty. Very nautical to me. I did check the Mint website and I don't see it on there. However, I did find it on the Bloomingdale's website. The bad news is that this color is currently unavailable, but it does say to check back later. The good news is that it looks to be available in two other shades  that are just as pretty! Hurry before they sell out!

Also wanted to talk about where these pics were taken. I have talked about Shelter Island in prior posts, but I can't say it enough on how beautiful it is. I'm very lucky to live close by and can come over here any time I want. My aunt and I decided to walk over on the ferry as these spots are a 5 minute walk from there and then go to dinner after at my fave restaurant Sweet Tomatoes. In the second picture you can see the water behind me as we are up on a hill overlooking Greenport. I highly recommend taking a trip over here if you've never been. 

Shirt ~ Free People ~ Mint ~ Available in 2 other shades here 

Jeans ~ J. Brand 

Sandals ~ DSW -they are now sold out ~ similar here and these are so cute!

Sunglasses ~ Ray-Ban

Anyone have a fave place they like to go? Or fave restaurant?? 

Thanks for reading!!

Dress in Stripes

Hello ladies! So happy it's Wednesday! 

Can we talk about how fabulous this dress is?! Now, I definitely love my jeans and a majority of the  time you will find me in them whether it's casual or dressed up, but it has been really hot out and I wanted something a little more light to wear. This dress is super soft and can be worn casual with sandals as I have on or dressed up with heels. I don't like anything too short so I tend to buy dresses that hit just below the knee. This one of course is a little longer than that although I guess it depends on how tall you are. Ha!  I also like dresses that are more fitted on me.

What's your go-to outfit when it's hot out?

Lavender & White

Hey Guys!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far! Holiday weekend is almost here! I'm so excited and it's suppose to be gorgeous for the next 4 days. 

I had just bought these new white jeans and was trying to think of a way to show them off and decided what better way than to wear all white with a colorful background. I am lucky enough to live near a lavender farm and thought it would be a beautiful backdrop. Also, purple is my second favorite color and I like it against the white. 

If you have never been to a lavender farm, I highly suggest going as it is so beautiful. You can really get some great pictures. 

The farm I am at is located in East Marion, NY and is called Lavender by the Bay. I love all the cute signs they had around the place and they have so much stuff to buy in their store such as soaps, lotions, pictures, sachets, dishes, etc. Great place to get gifts! 

Jeans ~ J. Brand ~ size 27 ~ Bought from Mint (in store) but don't see them on their site, however the J. Brand link goes directly to the exact pair I'm wearing

Tank ~ size medium ~ Target ~ I have this brand (Under $15!) and this one (Under $10!)

Sneakers ~ Vans ~ size 8 (I went up in these) Comes in other colors! Right now there is free shipping on orders $49 and over. Use code V49 

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday weekend!! Enjoy!!

Thanks for reading!!
