Swimsuit season is here!

Although posting an itsy bitsy teenie weenie bikini is a little - ok, A LOT - out of my comfort zone, I couldn’t resist sharing this reversible Vera Bradley swimsuit with you.

You know I’m a big fan of the brand, and I love that they keep expanding their collection. They have so many cute suits this season, and most of them are under $100.

This darling butterfly coverup is also from Vera Bradley. I absolutely love butterflies, and like the fact that this pool/beach side staple has pockets.

Below I’ve rounded up some of my favorites for you to check out! I suggest sizing up - they run a bit on the small side.

Happy Friday! This week has flown by so quickly, and I can hardly believe that July is just around the corner. July is always a fun month - school's out, summer is in full swing, travel has begun, and we get to celebrate America with a good ol' barbecue and fireworks. 

Will you be sticking around for the Fourth of July holiday or hitting the road and heading elsewhere? 
We're heading back home to Wisconsin this weekend, and I can't wait to enjoy the lake, pool time, and getting to be with my family. Safari may enjoy the trip back to the Midwest more than anyone, though. I don't think I've ever seen her happier than when she came home last year. I swear, she was smiling all the time. No joke (dog owners, you know what I mean)! She loves running around like crazy chasing geese off the dock, darting after squirrels, and spending time basking in the sun. Just living her best life! I'll definitely be sharing pictures while I'm there, so make sure you're following me on Instagram to see them.  

Enough about Safari (hehe)! I wanted pop on here to share this dress with you from Trina Turk. I loved the silhouette and color when I saw it a while back, but held off on purchasing it because I'd already done enough damage in the store that day! Needless to say, a few months passed by, and I was shopping on Amazon last week (I swear it'll be the death of me) and found it! It was sold out on TT's site, and any of the third party retailers who were carrying it only had limited sizing available. Much to my surprise, Amazon had several in each size available. The dress runs TTS and is perfect dressed up or down, and the grape color is fresh for summer.

Little White Ruffled Dress

Happy Tuesday, friends! 

We spent most of last week/the weekend in Oklahoma meeting up with Adam's family for their annual family reunion. It was so much fun, and a great excuse to take a break from my phone and social media. Sometimes it's nice to reset, immerse myself in my surroundings and enjoy the company (and food!!!) of others. Now that I'm back in Houston, it means it's time to get back to business.

Speaking of, I am SO excited to announce that I will be speaking at the third annual Create & Cultivate Style Summit in Houston on July 21st. Create & Cultivate is an online platform and offline conference for women looking to create & cultivate the career of their dreams. They gather the next generation of curious creatives, entrepreneurs and bosses to spark conversations around the topics they are passionate about from building their businesses, to raising money. They hit all the topics to help modern working women excel in their careers, and follow their passion. 

Past speakers have included Nicole Kidman, Kim Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen, Lauren Conrad, Tia Mowry, Issa Rae, Mandy Moore, Gloria Steinem, Jessica Alba, Rachel Zoe, Nicole Richie, Meghan Markle, Rebecca Minkoff, Kendra Scott,  Garance DorĂ©, Hannah Bronfman, Emily Weiss, Aimee Song, Chriselle Lim, Jen Gotch,  Julianne Hough and many more. Eek sooo exciting! 

The event will be at the Houston Galleria, and is full of amazing panels, trend presentations and a keynote speaker.You'll have the opportunity to learn tips and tricks from your favorite fashion and beauty bloggers - including yours truly! The event is free, but space is filling up fast, so be sure to RSVP here to secure your spot!
