LOOK GOOD IN DESIGNER SHADES

Happy Monday Ya'll! I wanted to let you all in on a fabulous deal! I discovered DITTO recently and it's safe to say I'm obsessed! What is DITTO you might ask?! It's where you can sign up to get designer sunglasses or glasses for only $24 a month! It's seriously the best! If you are like me... you fall in love with a pair of sunglasses... you purchase them... and then you find another pair you've fallen' in love with... but you've already bought a pair so you're now out of luck! Well you won't be out of luck anymore! With DITTO you can swap out designer sunglasses left and right! For instance, you order a pair of Prada sunglasses... wear them for a little while and then swap them out for some Karen Walkers! They even let you hold on to the sunglasses you have until the other ones arrive, so you'll never be without a pair of awesome shades!!! What's the catch?! There is none!!! You can cancel any time... so why not give it a try?!! Oh, I failed to mention... once you've signed up, you get to create your own Avatar which allows you to try on all the sunglasses before deciding. I mean how awesome is that?!!! It literally shows the pair of sunglasses on your face so you'll get to see if they are too big or too small for your face! Even gives you the side view of what it would look like if you were wearing the shades!!! Check out the fabulous Prada sunglasses I currently have below!!! I'm trying to decide what to swap them out for... I'm thinking some Karen Walkers ones!!!

Outfit Details: Sunglasses: DITTO (Prada) // Green Twist Knot Top: Lush (also comes in burnt henna) // White Distressed Denim Shorts: Paige (also found HERE) (similar ones HERE & HERE) // Booties: BP. (grey leather) // Clutch: GiGi New York (color: stone) // Silver Earrings: Moon and Lola // Crystal Cuff: Loren Hope // Chain Bracelet: Loren Hope // Gold Watch: Michael Kors // Peridot Bracelet: David Yurman // Pearl Bracelet: David Yurman // Barrel Ring: Michael Kors // Stone Ring: David Yurman 

My green twist knot top has become a new closet favorite!!! It's under $50 and it's the perfect top to take from summer to fall! I've been wearing it now with some white distressed denim shorts, but I can't wait to wear it this fall with some high waisted skinny jeans!!! Eeeek, believe it or not... I'm starting to get excited for Fall! Can't believe I just said that, haha!!!

Today I will be getting a ton of school work done and studying for the NCLEX... because tomorrow I have class until 4:30, then I'm precepting from 10pm-7am. So I will be out of service on Wednesday, that is of course until I have to precept again that night from 7pm-7am! So if you are wondering where I am this week.... I'll most likely be sleeping the day away on my time off!!! On the bright side... I'm loving every minute of it & I only have 6 more weeks after this week to feel super stressed out!!! Being a fashion blogger and a nurse are both huge dreams of mine!!! I'm just praying that I can do my best at both!!! One of my besties gave me the best advice the other day... She said to never let all of this stress me out and blind me from what is most important... God, family, boyfriend, and friends!!! She assured me that I could follow both my dreams (blogging and nursing) with the help of the Lord, family, boyfriend, and friends and that I am not alone throughout this stressful time of my life!!! Boy, was she right! I have felt so much peace this past week knowing that God loves me unconditionally and that I have awesome people in my life supporting me and praying for me every step of the way!!! Sorry for all the rambling!!! Just thought I'd share a little with ya'll about what I've been feeling these past few weeks!!! I hope you all have the BEST week!!!

FALL IN LOVE WITH FALL

So most of you know.... I'm a SPRING/SUMMER person! I love wearing bright colors and I'm not a huge fan of being cold. But I will say that these past few years fall/winter clothes have been AMAZING. Well I have found the most perfect fall outfit that's affordable! My white vintage embroidered fringe half sleeve blouse from SheIn is the most fabulous thing!!! It's less than $20 and super cute!!! I've worn it these past few weeks with distressed denim shorts and I can't wait to wear it on repeat this fall with those sangria denim leggings or a pair of dark skinny jeans!!! :) The Hue sangria denim leggings are my absolute favorite! They are extremely comfy and they are the perfect pant to wear with any type of shoe!!! It's hard to find a good pair to wear with adorable booties... these pants are perfect for that! Last year I got the olive green color and the black ones!!! Seriously the best denim legging! Did I mention that the pants are under $40?!! Well they are!!! Both my top and my pants combined are under $100!!! 

 Outfit Details: Vintage Embroidered Fringe Top: Shein (I'm wearing a medium for size reference) // Sangria Denim Leggings: Hue (wearing size small for size reference) // Handbag: GiGi New York (same bag, different color) // Handbag: GiGi New York (same color, different bag) // Booties: BP. // Crystal Cuff Bracelet: Loren Hope // Bracelet: Loren Hope // Cross Bracelet: Alex and Ani // Gold Hoops: Moon and Lola // Watch: Michael Kors // Peridot Bracelet: David Yurman // Pearl Bracelet: David Yurman // Barrel Ring: Michael Kors // Stone Ring: David Yurman

This past week has been crazy so I'm so sorry for the delayed blog post. I have class all day on Tuesdays and I also started my preceptorship. I got put on night shifts! My first nights were this past week! I worked two back to back night shifts and it's safe to say that I'm exhausted! Between class, precepting, paperwork, and school assignments I will have no life for these next few weeks!!! Please bear with me while I finish nursing school... I will try to post as often as possible! Happy Sunday! Hope you all have an excellent week to come!!!

JEKYLL ISLAND - FINAL

Hope you've enjoyed my last two Jekyll Island posts - here is my last!!! Enjoy! :) First off,  I just want to take a second to rave about the carry-on I took on my trip!!! (a picture of me with it is located under Jekyll Island - One) It is one of my favorite purchases from this summer! It's hard to find a quality carry-on that will hold up! It's by Delsey and I can't say enough about how obsessed I am with this luggage! As I mentioned before in my other post, I'm saving up to buy the larger suitcase because I'm just so impressed with the carry-on!!!!

Some of my other favorite travel accessories are my ban.do luggage tag and passport cover!!! I know, I know... I didn't go out of the country, but I just thought I'd share it with you because I'm so obsessed!!! I needed my passport over Christmas Break and I got the most compliments on my passport cover, so I just wanted ya'll to see it because I know ya'll will love it as much as I do!!!

With those travel pieces mentioned above, you are sure to travel in style!!!!

 Taylor and I just loved to walk around the whole area where we were staying because it was so breathtaking! I'm a sucker for oak trees and spanish moss!

  We had talked about renting bikes after walking around the area we were staying... but we didn't end up renting bikes, even though we definitely should of because the bike paths were out of this world!!!! (we thought it was too hot, and we were just being lazy) However, I did convince Taylor that the bike path would be a place for a perfect photo shoot!!! So I did get some images of how beautiful the path was!!!

Outfit Details: Tassel Bracelets: BaubleBar // Earrings: Moon and Lola // Barrel Ring: (old) but similar HERE // Clutch: (old) but similar HERE // Gold Wedges: (old) but similar HERE // Watch: Michael Kors // Pearl Bracelet: David Yurman // Peridot Bracelet: David Yurman
