Is it Summer Yet?

Hello, beauties! It’s been a while since my last post and the truth is that so many things have happened ever since, including our big move to Australia. But I’ll tell you all about that in a different post very soon. I promise!

Anyway, we’re now in Sydney and it’s supposed to be Spring already. Sun, flowers and happiness, right?! Well, it’m more like rain, rain, a few sunny days and back to rain, rain again! Like seriously, what’s up?! Anyway, rant over! I just needed to let that out haha.

I was going through my external hard drive the other day and realized I never really got to post these photos we took at the lake back in NWA! The beautiful Atalanta Lake is located in Rogers, AR and it has a cool trail for hiking and taking your dogs to the playground at the end of it. We were there on a cooler morning so it was still kind of foggy but we loved the vibe!

Summer Dresses - Lace and Sparkles

This is one of my favorite dresses and it comes in so many colors! I think I might need to add a couple more to my wardrobe. It’s so versatile and looks beautiful in basically all body types.

I really love how a simple dress can be dressed up or down by just alternating your accessories. Some cute sandals, a tote bag and s floppy hat and you’re set for a day at the lake with your friends. Going to get some cocktails after that with your girls? No problem! Just put on some nude blocked heel sandals and add a lovely necklace.


Lulu’s and Francesca’s are some of the stores I like the most for cute AND affordable sandals and accessories. Plus, they usually have free shipping, too!

 

And while I go get my raincoat and rain boots (so glad I grabbed these on sale!)  to take the pups out in the pouring rain, I’ll be dreaming about my first ever summertime Christmas. Say what?!

Most of you are already lighting up your pumpkin spice scented candles and drinking all the PSL (send some my way pleaaaase) but if you live on this side of the world or have a tropical destination in mind for the holidays, make sure to check out some of my fave Spring-Summer Styles!

    Ya’ll aren’t the only ones getting never-ending rain! It’s been nonstop for MONTHS here on the east coast of the states. I’ve taken 99% of my photos inside coffee shops or my house since like April. It’s unreal! I hope we all get some enjoyable sunshine soon!
