Bestie…listen,

If there’s one thing I love, it’s getting stopped and asked, “What perfume are you wearing?” And let me tell you—there’s a secret to making your scent last all day (and getting all the compliments). It’s called ~scent layering~, and it’s a total game-changer.

The key? Prepping your skin the right way, layering your fragrance for maximum longevity, and applying it to all the right spots.

It’s crazy to think that the photos in today’s post were taken just a few short weeks ago while on a mini girls’ Day Trip in Orlando.

My friends and I wanted to get out of Jacksonville and just see something different.  So we hit the road and made good use of a full day.

We ventured to the cutest coffee shops, local eateries and did a little shopping.
It was such a good day.

Don’t be fooled by the model on the website wearing this dress.  You might be missing out on a gorgeous spring dress.

When I first saw this dress I was immediately attracted to the pattern, color and ruffle detail but if I looked at how it was styled on the model well I would have totally passed on this dress.

It was way oversized and just looked slovenly to be quite honest.

Unless you’re living under a rock — if you’re well versed and tuned into the plus size community you know that Rochelle of BeautiCurve launched a collection of dresses with Lane Bryant.

It’s a beautiful variety of edgy and feminine pieces that are perfect for all of your Springtime events from weddings, outdoor parties, warm weather date nights and more.

Rochelle was so kind enough to send over a piece from the collection and I literally squealed when I saw it because it was the one I’ve been eyeing!

Okay, so Coachella is right around the corner and yours truly is NOT going. But I, like the rest of the country will undoubtedly be bombarded with tons of desert-themed, boho-rocker inspired fashion in the coming weeks.  This content usually features the same kind of girl — you know what I’m talking about — that girl posing with her posse in front of the iconic Ferris wheel with a few peace signs thrown in the air.

Happy First Day of Spring Everyone!

We’ve finally have come to my absolute favorite season of the year because everything is in bloom.  Spring brings warmer weather, longer days and the perfect opportunity to try new fashion!

Of course I’m wearing all the pieces from the Gibson x International Women’s Day Collection on repeat because the entire line is perfect for Spring.

I love everyone’s individual pieces and it makes the collection so fun a whole.

I’ve finally found a cropped wide leg jean that looks great on my body and you’ll never guess where I got them from?

Okay well, maybe you could guess if you read the title of this blog post.  

My new denim is from the new Spring EV1 Collection by Ellen DeGeneres only at Walmart!

I was so new to this, believe me.

I had no idea Ellen had a clothing line at Walmart and it’s really cute!

It’s really Spring Y’all!

And in celebration of the sun being out and the weather being gorgeous let’s bare some shoulders in flirty tops as we sip chic drinks on rooftop bars all season long.

When the weather finally catches up with your wardrobe it’s magical!

Snap off those tags to all those Spring tops you’ve been waiting wear because it’s cold shoulder season!

I love exposing sun-kissed bare shoulders.

Two of my favorite colors happen to be pink and green.  So the fact that this dress incorporates both colors, stripes and bows, well it couldn’t be any more perfect.  

This dress is from the collaboration of Eloquii x Draper James, Reese Witherspoon’s lifestyle brand.

She’s a bonafide Southern Belle and loves embracing all things feminine so it’s easy to understand why I’m in love with everything from the collection.

Do I look tall to you?  When people meet me in real life they are always shocked to learn how vertically challenged I am.   “You look so tall in your pictures!”

Well, thanks!

That’s always the goal for me.  I’m only 5’4 but my body is pretty proportional so it can appear visually taller in photos but I’m more on the petite plus side of things.

Being plus size and petite is a double whammy and although I may not be considered truly petite because I’m over 5′ I do appreciate tailored garments that fit my shorter limbs.
