Donuts and Denim Skirts
How many of you are loving this spring denim skirt trend? Back in high school, I was all about a good denim skirt. It was a staple… along with my zip up the back flares! I rocked it in the daytime to school, on Fridays to football games and dressed up for parties at night. Then college came around and they were dead to me. Like I almost forgot they were even a thing.
Then the other day I was shopping at Forever 21. Well, let’s be real, I wasn’t at Forever 21, I was shopping online. And I saw this adorable denim skirt. It’s not just a denim skirt… It is perfectly distressed denim skirt (with stretch!) and has little pearls embellishing it. Now, I don’t actually own a bedazzler, but if I did… this is exactly what my inner child would be making.
So I obviously had to buy it. And while I was browsing for what else I was going to buy to get free shipping (because I absolutely refuse to pay for shipping) I found this amazing donut tee. I know everyone likes donuts, but I really like donuts. So what better way to pay tribute than to proudly wear them around on my shirt?
So, what do you think of the spring denim skirt trend? Are you rocking it this season?

10 Summer Must Haves to get you through this summer
Summer always seems to just fly by! No matter where you live, everyone seems to be on the go. That’s why I pulled together these ten summer must haves that you need now to make your summer a breeze.
1- A comfy, wear-everywhere tank. I have the boyfriend tank below that I wear non-stop. The fit is perfect and it looks great with distressed denim.
2- A bandana. Bandanas are the hot new accessory and this bandana scarf will save you the trouble of rolling and knotting one. Throw it in your hair for a quick fix to a bad hair day!
3- Statement sunglasses. These round shades scream boho and give a nod to the seventies.
4- A tote. I am obsessed with this reversible tote. One- it’s reversible! Two- it fits a ton of stuff. Three- it has a handy attached pouch to keep your valuables (aka your lipstick).
5- Summer cardigan. Layers are key for those chilly summer bonfires! This patterned cardigan gives you coverage and warmth while keeping a summer look.
6- Hat. Perfect for covering up that pool hair that didn’t quite dry right. You will be glad you have this hat to cover up any bad hair days.
7- Boho top. I love having a go-to top that screams summer and this bell sleeved lace top does the trick. Did someone say coachella?
8- Boyfriend jeans. For those days you don’t have time to shave your legs? Never fear, your boyfriend jeans are here!
9- Denim cutoffs. Enough said… it’s summer!
10- Walk everywhere sandals. In the summer, I find myself walking my sandals into the ground! What better shoes to prance around town in than these lace-up sandals that go with everything?

White Eyelet and Bright Blooms
Spring is in full swing, I mean just look at those blooms! I paired all my favorite spring trends together for today’s look. Bright colors, eyelet and distressed denim! I’ve been wearing these pieces on repeat this spring and I think they will seamlessly carry me into summer!
Nothing makes a weekend better than the perfect pair of comfy boyfriend jeans. I am unhealthily obsessed with my newest Blank NYC jeans. They are stretchy, comfortable and I think the distressing on them is perfect. I find myself wearing them WAY too much. I would wear them everyday if I could!
When wearing boyfriend denim I think it’s important to pair them with girly pieces. The wedges and boyfriend jean combo is perfect for summer. It gives off a feminine, casual look that can take you from day to night. Finish the look with some fun accessories and you are ready to walk out the door!

Sparkle in Plaid
Today is all about dolling up the rugged plaid trend. Just because a lumberjack wears plaid to chop down a tree doesn’t mean we can’t sparkle in it! I see a lot of girls sporting the plaid trend, but it’s almost always paired back to sneakers and a ponytail. Don’t get me wrong, that’s an adorable casual look, but there’s no reason you can’t dress up that same plaid shirt!
I got this great plaid flannel from Old Navy and absolutely love the versatility! To go for a more glam look, I opted for metallic accessories, my current Rocksbox jewelry and a bright pink lip! Take a closer look at my accessories below and share how you dress up your plaid in the comments!
