It always seems to be an endless hunt to find your new perfect summer suit, I have rounded up 12 of my favorites to share with you all. I am personally a one piece/tankini kinda girl myself, sadly I have not been impressed with any tankinis this year, but have found several adorable one pieces. I tried to include a variety so styles, cute, sassy, and sexy. Share with my your favorite swimsuit, or your favorite place to go swimsuit shopping.

Pastel

Sunnies: Ray Bans | Ring: Kendra Scott | Bracelet: Kendra Scott

Nothing to me screams "spring" to me more then pastels. I love bright colors don't get me wrong, but there is just something so simple, fresh, and elegant about pastels. I LOVE this Vince pastel top I am wearing, it has multiple layers of chiffon that move with you, when I tried it on in the store, I fell in love. I also really recommend the J.Crew white jeans I am wearing, they are actually called ecru, they are not your typical bleach white jean, they are a softer white and supper comfortable. What is your favorite way to wear pastels?

Organizing Your Jewelry

 

If you're anything like me, you have random piles of jewelry scattered all around your house.  I have the worst habit of taking my earrings or bracelets off in a random place, leaving them there, and then latter tearing apart my apartment looking for them. I have decided to get organized, I have had this jewelry box for a few years, but it just didn't fit my growing collection, so I got the bracelet/watch holder to help with that problem.

There are several different ways you can organize your jewelry. Many make their own, or buy, hanging racks for necklaces or earrings. These are great for storing jewelry but I wanted a more upscale look for this little corner of my bedroom. I found this mirrored jewelry box at T.J.Maxx a few years ago but have linked several bellow for you to look at. The third option for jewelry store if the dream princess diaries closet with my remote control tiara holder (I'm working in it, seriously). 

When choosing how to store your jewelry, most people underestimate how much space they really need. You want to have plenty of space to display everything you already own, and keep in mind, you are likely going to purchase more. I always keep the items I wear daily out for easy access. Keep your special occasion, or really unique pieces in a different place, or in the bottom compartment of your jewelry box. You want to keep your every day go-to jewelry where you can see it, so you can get dressed quickly and throw on your arm candy and head out the door.

Mother's Day Gift Guide + Giveaway

 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8/9/10/11/12/13/14/15/16/17

Mothers day is just around the corner, so I have put together a gift guide for the most important woman in our lives. Our moms do so much for us, things we don't even know that they do, so I always feel the deserve some extra special pampering. I love giving gifts, however my mom is not really a gift loving person, she loves quality time. She is happiest with a full day of mother daughter time, then any gift I can buy in a store. As great as these gifts above are, remember to tell your mom just how important she is to you, and how much you love her.
