Hi friends! I hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend! This week has flown by and I'm already looking forward to another HOT weekend outside with my family. I wanted to share a few pieces today on the blog which are total musts for summer. These are a few of my summer essentials, plus everything is well under $50. This post contains affiliate links. I know I talk a lot about white denim, but honestly it's such a staple piece in my wardrobe. A great pair of white denim is a must in my opinion! Having a few go-to pairs in your closet is a great idea, especially if you have little ones like me who tend to make your white pants not so white... HA. Another great summer piece for your closet

Hi friends! Is it the weekend yet?! I cannot wait for this long Memorial Day weekend, there's so much to celebrate! As I'm starting to think ahead to the weekend, I'm also starting to pull out a few adorable pieces from my wardrobe which would be perfect options to wear to BBQs, pool parties, you name it... So I thought I should share a few of these pieces with you, especially since everything is under $25! This post contains affiliate links. I love buying pieces that are versatile, so you can wear them more than just one time. I found this top for $18, and it reminds me of a similar Free People top which is well over $80. I love how simple this top is, yet it can easily be dressed up or sty

Hi friends! I hope you all had great weekends! I had a wonderful Mother's Day weekend despite the HOT HOT weather. Yikes, it's already crazy humid here in Illinois. This weekend I was able to have a little me time on Saturday, and I actually picked up a few new summer pieces, both adorable and affordable! This tank is a MUST! If you buy one tank this summer, it needs to be this one. I bought this piece in grey too, but I'm thinking I should have bought a few more colors. This is such a great basic for your closet. It runs true to size and is extra cozy, yet adorable! I'm also living in these shorts. I love the fit and distressed look. I'm 5'7" and sometimes shorts tend to be TOO short. I wan

Hi friends! Happy Mother's Day weekend! I haven't done a craft with my little ones in awhile, so I thought this morning would be the perfect time for a little craft with the kiddos! I saw this cute idea for a butterfly finger paint pot on Pinterest, and had to make it! It was so simple to make and only required a few things. I found these little terra cotta pots at Lowe's for under $1 a piece, and I already had some acrylic paints at home. I drew the little bodies for the butterflies using a black sharpie marker, and then used my kiddos thumb prints to create the wings. This was so fun! My little ones really enjoyed the craft, and I enjoyed making some sweet memories with them! After the pai

Hi friends! I hope you're all having a great week! I'm so ready for the weekend. Ahhh I can't believe it's already Mother's Day weekend! Such a wonderful weekend to celebrate. This has been a busy week with my little ones so far, but we are soaking up every ounce of sunshine we'e having and loving it... So since I've been living in this tee lately {I've honestly worn it 3x this week}, I thought I probably needed to share! It's my favorite brand of tee I'm always raving about because it's such a great basic. This tee is actually striped, even more of a bonus! LOVE this tee. It's simple to style, easy to wear, and so comfortable! This does run true to size, I'm wearing a small for refer

Hi friends! Happy Monday everyone! I'm trying to get back on track after a fun and busy weekend, but first things first, I noticed that a few of my favorite hats are on major sale! Of course, I have to share these adorable finds with you. I'm such a hat girl... I love being able to throw on a hat and GO! It's such a great accessory for your outfit, but also practical. Now that our weather has warmed up, the kiddos and I are spending most of our time outdoors. I'm all about trying to be safe from the sun, so having a few hat options is a MUST! I'm sharing a few of my favorite pieces below, most are under $15! Grab a coffee and be sure to snag a few of these adorable hats! These won't last lon

Hi friends! Happy May! I can't believe it's May already! It's absolutely gorgeous here in central Illinois, and I cannot get enough of the sunshine! I finally busted out my white denim, and I couldn't be happier! {This post contains affiliate links.} I wanted to share with you a few of my go-to pieces lately: this stripe top, distressed white denim, and this adorable Panama hat are MUSTS! This is such a simple spring/summer look to put-together, not to mention it's so comfortable! Add a cute pair of cognac sandals or neutral flats and hello adorable outfit! I love this pair of denim, I sized down because they do have some stretch. A great pair of white denim is a staple in my closet. They lo
