SHOP NOW!: The Ultimate Linen Dress for EVERYONE!

Posted on by

Now that spring has sprung & 2 local trips are planned between now & early June, it’s time I start looking ahead to summer—in style! While linen does wrinkle & require care when washing, it is a breathable, comfortable, & classic material for a dress. Even better, a flattering & inclusive dress that can be styled up or worn casually.

SHOP: Universal Thread sleeveless linen dress in blue, black, pink multimate, green, blue multi, & white @Target ($30.00, available in sizes XS-4X).

My favorite is the green, but I did recently get the green eyelet dress I posted about back in February, so I think the blue (navy) will be a formidable option. I do wish there was a thicker strap, but the puckering across the waist is so flattering.

How would you style this dress? Which color would you pick? How often do you wear sundresses? For more stylish posts, check out: bargain bracelets from Macy’s, LOFT’s puff sleeve tops, & the most comfortable denim joggers by Sofia Vergara! Happy Styling!

I’m so guilty of—time & time again—succumbing to sparkle. If it’s on sale or a deep final sale discount, I’m shattered! I have no backbone! I want it! I want to style it! I want to write about it!

SHOP: Charter Club gold-tone pavé & color stone pear shape bracelet @Macy’s (final sale: &8.83).

SHOP: Charter Club two-tone crystal palazzo bracelet @Macy’s (final sale: $8.83).

SHOP: Charter Club silver-tone color crystal & stone cluster bracelet @Macy’s ($8.83).

After all, isn’t every day a special occasion? Rarely a day goes by without wrist adornment & lately, I’ve been layering since there are so many gorgeous pieces that look even more spectacular when paired up with others. I have all 3 of the above & I already have then prepped for outfits this week! They sparkle in the light, have some quality weight to them, & are easy to adjust, so I recommend them for early Mother’s Day presents or just for yourself, if you’re into bling!

SHOP NOW!: Puff Sleeves are Here to Stay!

It’s taken me a while to hop aboard the puff sleeve trend train, but as these gorgeous spring styles are rolling into my ‘Gram (@styledarlingdaily), I can’t help but think about all of the styling options!

SHOP: puff sleeve mixed media top in Palm Springs Pink, Agave, & Black @LOFT (on sale: $29.97, available in sizes XXS-XXL).

I’m nuts for the minty ‘agave’ top, especially with tropical linen shorts & neutral mules for vacation, windowpane trousers & block heels for work, a pleated midi skirt & ballet flats for a family party, or jeans & sneakers on the weekends.

SHOP NOW!: The Most Comfortable Denim Joggers!

Let’s all give it up for the one & only Sofia Vergara who got denim joggers right! The actress-turned-fashionista has nailed it when it comes to a combination of comfortable, stylish, & affordable pull- on jeans with a joggers twist. I can’t wait to wear them all the time, especially since I haven’t worn jeans since before my pregnancy in 2018 started to show!

SHOP: Sofia Jeans by Sofia Vergara Paula knit denim joggers in Bel Air, Trinity, & Oceana wash @Walmart (on sale: $18.50, limited availability in sizes XXS-XXXL).

At the recommendation of another blogger, I ordered these in the lightest Bel Air wash, only because the darker Oceana wash was sold out in my size; however, now that I’m in love with his comfortable & trendy these are, I’ve already ordered the Trinity wash before it’s too late!

SHOP Now!: Pretty in Polka Dots!

Spring is the perfect time of year to lighten up those layers & play with patterns. One of my all-time favorites is polka dots, especially in a cardigan that tops off a blouse, jeans, plaid trousers, or a fit & flare dress.

SHOP: polka dot puff-sleeve cardigan @New York & Company (on sale: $35.97, available in sizes XS-XXL).

Also, I love this, like it’s pictured, with a bright pair of trousers, but also a magenta or Kelly green pencil skirt would be fun too!

SHOP: Charter Club filigree bangle bracelet @Macy’s (on sale: $8.83).

SHOP: Charter Club pavé twist hinged bangle bracelet @Macy’s (on sale: $8.83).

SHOP NOW!: Spring/Summer Peplum Tops!

Posted on by

I love a peplum, especially when running errands & in need of a lightweight, comfortable piece that doesn’t feel too constricting, which is why my warm weather wardrobe consists of just such pieces to coordinate with cropped pants & drop earrings, tropical shorts & sparkly slides, or jeans & a duster cardigan. However, I’m not always a fan of the distressed, worn look, but I’m willing to give it a try, knowing that some of these colors will style well with my past-season bottoms.

SHOP: Time & Tru short-sleeved washed peplum top in papaya, turquoise, orchid bloom, & black soot @Walmart ($15.98, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

How would you style these tops? Which color are you most drawn to? How do you feel about peplum silhouettes? For more stylish posts, check out: a Time & Tru half sweater / half sweatshirt for $11, colorful bird stud earrings, must-have spring flats from Ardene! Happy Styling!

When getting cozy on chilly nights or preparing for next winter with amazing bargains on heavier items, like sweaters, I love a deal, as well as a multi-purpose item in gorgeous & neutral colors.

SHOP: Time & Tru mixed media crewneck top in berry, heather gray, navy, & white @Walmart (on sale: $11.00, available in sizes XS-3XL).

I never saw these in my local stores, but I’m crazy for this berry hue. Of course, the navy & gray are sleek options for joggers or faux leather leggings. I love the blend of casual with the cable-knit texture, which offers a unique top for any bottom.

Accessories Access: These Earrings are for the Birds!

Posted on by

Throughout the year, I like to have fun with my stud earrings, mixing up a quintet of studs in colorful, tasteful, & stylish ways since most days, I fill my 5 piercings in each ear with great variety. I love adding a fruit into the mix, but from time to time, an animal also appears, including birds! I’ve had my eye on these for some time now:

SHOP: LC Lauren Conrad bird stud earrings @Kohl’s (on sale: $6.00).

I love the orange-blue-green-white color combination, especially against the gold-tone. It’s a bright, playful addition to any look & adds a spring touch against a tunic sweater & leggings or midi dress & duster cardigan.

At such a great price & with so many fun & springy details, how can you not order all of them? I love the stripes for a classic tee & jeans look with layered necklaces of the blue floral with a cotton eyelet dress & cardigan. Not to mention the black floral will add some feminine flare to a midi dress. Also, the beige & black is perfect for a casual Friday in a cardigan set & windowpane pants.

Posted on by

I love how t-shirts have evolved over the years, blending the ease & comfort of a casual piece with more refined & special details that can be dressed up, such as a flutter-sleeve. While I’m not typically drawn to a dramatic sleeve, a subtle flutter adds an extra bit of whimsy, especially when paired with jeans & sneakers, trousers & ballet flats, a midi skirt & slides, or a pencil skirt & statement necklace.

SHOP: flutter-sleeve paneled t-shirt in black, beige, pink, & white @Old Navy ($29.99, available in sizes XS-4X + petite). Watch out for the current 30% off at checkout deal, or other sales that may help this topper, & the multiple colors, make its way into your wardrobe.

SHOP: A New Day alligator print double gusset crossbody in metallic silver @Target (on sale: $14.40).

This is a chic option for when my day includes not only a brunch or al fresco lunch plans, but heading out & about for a family occasion in a blouse & trousers, maxi dress & cardigan, or midi dress & drop earrings.

Spring is in the air…somewhere! I can’t wait to get my feet into cute sandals again, paired with a maxi or midi dress or for stylish, but casual Friday at work on sunny spring mornings.

SHOP: t-strap floral detail sandal in white, tan, pink, & green @New York & Company (on sale: $20.00, available in sizes 6-11).

As always, I’m a sucker for one of each, especially when it’s a classic item that can coordinate with nearly any look. This is Aldi the case when I’m thinking about jewelry—do I get the gold, rose gold, or silver? However, for the right price, why not get all 3?

SHOP: Time & Tru crystal stone delicate pendant necklace in gold-tone, rose gold-tone, & silver-tone @Walmart ($3.88).

All fall & winter long, my Instagram feed has been overflowing with different Sherpa items, from shackets to coats to cardigans to slippers. I know I’m a little late to jump on the bandwagon, especially as so much light & fluttery spring fashion is on the horizon, but in looking to update my casual outerwear / topper options, I was pleased to discover this new rollback—& with polka dots!

SHOP: Time & Tru faux Sherpa pullover in winter white, blue lagoon, olive dusk, & brilliant red @Walmart (on sale: $13.00, available in sizes XS-XXXL).

Beauty Buys: A Jade Roller & Rose Quartz Gua Sha Stone!

The countdown to 40 begins! In six months, I’ll be entering a whole new decade, having spent these six months doing any & everything I can (with doing anything drastic) to improve my health & wellness. This includes stress relief & skincare, which is why my recent purchases of a jade roller & some rose quartz is the focus of this post!

SHOP: Mei Apothecary mini Jade facial roller beauty tool @Target ($9.99).

SHOP: Mei Apothecary mini rose quartz gua sha facial massage beauty tool @Target ($7.99).

I’ve only been using both for a few days & I haven’t seen any results; however, I feel calmer & my face feels less tense. I have a lot of sinus issues & this massage definitely technique, as directed on the packaging, at least 1-2 times a day, results in a relaxed feeling across the face & neck.

Also, I’ve invested in various body massages for shoulder & back pain & they’ve always been too intense or uncomfortable to operate, but the roller & stone allows me a few minutes to feel centered internally & tactilely relieved.

Are stones or rollers a regular part of your skincare routine? What alternative methods do you use to relieve stress on your face? How often do you seek out methods to reduce puffiness?
