Casual Off the Shoulder





Off the shoulder top: Old Navy | Jeans: Hollister (similar) | Shoes: Sperry | Necklace: Mystic bar 

Off the shoulder tops are my theme for this summer, I just can't get enough of them. I think I love this look so much because they can be worn in so many different ways and for so many different occasions. Today this is more of a go to casual look and I am loving it more than I thought I ever would. This outfit was so comfortable and perfect for running around town getting all of my errands done.

Rocksbox Review

I love subscription boxes and I love to learn about new ones. I am so excited about the one I am talking about today. It is such a different concept than anything that I have heard about. It is a subscription to jewelry that you rent and there are so many good brands like Kendra Scott and Kate Spade that you can receive.

For 21$ a month you receive 3 pieces of jewelry that were handpicked for you. The best part I personally think is that you can keep these pieces for as long as you would like. As long as you are paying the 21$ a month you can keep them for as long as you want or send them back as soon as you want. You could send them back as many times as possible and keep getting more jewelry.





I received the Kendra Scott Rayne necklace, the Kendra Scott Elle earrings, and the Gorjana tanner bar necklace. I am so obsessed with all of these pieces. So I made up a wishlist and the Elle earrings were one of the items I picked so the website "granted my wish" because I received an item off of my wishlist. I really love the concept of this subscription box and I was not disappointed with the items I received.

Treats Your Dogs Will Love









I'm not sure if I've ever introduced my dogs on my blog, I know I've mentioned them briefly but they've never really been introduced. Maris is the cream colored pup and she is named after the famous Yankee baseball player Rodger Maris. Forty is the black and white pup and she is named forty because she was my mom's fortieth birthday present. Maris is the younger pup and she acts like the annoying younger sister. Forty likes to chill out and relax and Maris is always annoying her to play. It's pretty funny to watch them interact. 

I love my pups more than anything and want them to stay happy and healthy. Forty has really bad hips and can't walk up the stairs easily anymore. The mobility bites have been helping her so much that she can go up the stairs easier than before. 

I also got the salmon oil which you pump into their food to help their skin and coat. The omega bites also help with dogs skin and coat. Forty and Maris are both Havanese dogs and they are hypoallergenic so these products make their fur so shiny and soft.

BOYFRIEND BUYS MY OUTFIT CHALLENGE!!

I am so excited to share with you guys today's post. This is a very popular challenge on youtube I first saw it on Alex Garza's youtube video you can see here. So the challenge is that your boyfriend or husband goes shopping and picks out an entire outfit for their wife or girlfriend. But I put a little more of a twist on it for Kyle and only gave him a 50$ budget that he had to stay within.

Now I am going to put even more of a challenging touch on this and make Kyle write out the post about how his experience was doing this challenge (All of his writing will be in blue). He even took the pictures, so I'm going to link the outfit details here and then he will do the rest!

Gap: off the shoulder top | Jcrew: Shorts | Earrings: Sugarfix | Shoes: Jack Rogers







Hello to all of Kelsey's lovely followers! When Kelsey told me about this challenge I was very excited to take it on. She has fantastic style and I really wanted to impress her. The first place I knew I had to go was the nearest mall because it had the J Crew Factory outlet in it. I didn't really have a clue about what I was going to get her, but I knew I either wanted a sundress outfit, a short shorts outfit, or something that uses a button down shirt because I personally really like the look. The first place I looked was J Crew, I knew that she loves basically anything in there and I knew you could find some cheap clothes there. Fortunately for me, the first thing I saw was the shelf with all the khaki short shorts things on it. They had a bunch of cool designed shorts, like pineapple green and yellow shorts, crane shorts that were light blue. These were 20 bucks though and that made me nervous. So the shorts next to them were the one color shorts, and I decided impulsively that I wanted to get the Navy blue ones because they were cute and her size. They cost about 15 bucks. I found a bunch of shirts at J Crew that appeared to match well, but they were a little out of my price range like the shirts were mostly 30 bucks and I really want to add a third piece to the outfit. I decided to go to the other end of the mall and look at Gap. I truly didn't have any luck in Gap, I couldn't find anything I liked, the button down shirts were so expensive and so was the fleecy looking shirts that I see a lot, and everything in my price range was pretty unattractive. I literally almost left when I saw in the corner of my eye a shelf of these white shirts that said 60 percent off, so I went to go check. It was like it was meant to be because there was nothing good until the absolute last shirt that was her size and appeared to be a really pretty white shirt. That turned out to be an over-the-shoulder shirt that apparently is really popular right now. The shirt happened to be 21 dollars so that left me with about 36 bucks. I decided to finish the puzzle I wanted to either get some sort of jewelry or shoes. I went to Target because she likes it there and would probably shop there for clothes, and I know she likes their jewelry. I really wanted to get those flats shoes that she wears a lot, but didn't know they cost as much as they did, Target's selection of flats were all around that 30 dollar mark. I also know she had the Jack Rodger sandals that she would probably wear anyways. I decided to pick up the earrings because they put me right at that 50 dollar maximum and I knew she liked that brand, and I thought they were extremely different looking which I enjoyed.

I really enjoyed this competition, I love Kelsey's blog and think she is doing an amazing job with it and anything I can do to help her and make her amazing followers happy I am down for! Plus I actually really liked picking outfits for her! I will say I thought it was going to be a cake walk just going around the mall trying to find the clothes, but at the end of all the shopping, I was extremely wiped out, and actually pretty frustrated with how stressful it was to find something I thought she would like. I would 100 percent do another one of these challenges for her though!! Thank you guys for listening to me ramble, and please, brainstorm some ideas down below in the comment section about some other really cool, and fun challenges Kelsey can try and do on this Blog!

My Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Wishlist

The best sale of the year is back and better than ever. I have found way too many items that are on my wishlist this year. From shoes, jackets, and beauty accessories I have picked through the entire sale and found my favorite items that I need for this fall. 
I've always been really into jackets and this year's sale has so many to choose from. My top pick for the jackets would have to be the Burberry quilted jacket, it is top on my list. I also have a couple of summer items in my picks throughout the list because they are just too cute and too good of a deal to not have on my wishlist. You can shop all of my picks down below!

Adding to My Scalloped Obsession






Scalloped tank: Jcrew | Navy Shorts: Old Navy | Necklace: Kendra Scott (Rocksbox) | Earrings: Kendra Scott (Rocksbox) Sandals: Jack Rogers
I am living in these scalloped tanks from Jcrew this summer. They are literally the perfect top because they are so light and comfortable. It is also a plus that they come in so many different colors. I love this bubble gum pink to brighten up the outfit and take me away from my usual navy and gray that I love so much.

I am so excited to talk about my jewelry in today's post. This jewelry is actually rented from a company called rocks box. Rocks Box is a monthly subscription box that comes with three pieces of jewelry that you can keep for as long as you want. I plan on coming out with a post that talks more about the box because I love it so much!

FabFitFun Box Summer 2017






I recently received my first FabFitFun in the mail the other day and I am so excited about it. I'm sure you may have seen these boxes from many people on the internet such as some of the people from the show The Bachelor. But if you have never seen the box before it is a subscription box that comes out 4 times a year (one for each season). This is the summer box which includes a variety of items ranging from makeup to clothes and even vitamins.

This being my first box I was not disappointed I'm pretty excited about all the items in this box and really excited to dig in and try them all. One item that I am super thrilled about is the bkr bottle which is a glass water bottle and I'm really hoping that it motivates me to drink more water because it is something that I really need to do.  I also love the mystic bar necklace that is made up of stone. The one I received is howlite and it promotes calmness and enhances intuition.

How cute is the ready, set, create art kit?! I can't wait to use my creative skills (which are not pretty) to create something so cute for my room or maybe my living room. I have no idea what to do with it though so if you have any suggestions of any quotes or an idea for what I should put on my canvas let me know in the comments below!!

Have a great weekend!
