Cheers to the freakin’ weekend, y’all! I’m so excited for summer to finally be here and the change in season means a change in wardrobe. I find myself holding onto certain winter staples throughout the spring because Louisville never seems to make a decision on the weather until late in the game. Last month, I was still wearing vests and even my snow boots {#amazing}, but I’m ready to put them all away until fall and only hold onto my rain jacket from here on out.
Cami style tops aren’t usually my thing because strapless bras are usually the enemy in my mind, but this pin tucked, printed cami jumped out at me and it was perfect for vacation, especially after my sunburn when I didn’t want to have a ton of fabric rubbing against my burnt skin. This top comes in a couple different patterns and is on major sale this weekend, so definitely scoop it up while it’s still in stock in your size. The straps are adjustable and the material is lightweight which makes it perfect for summer.
So let’s talk Friday Favorites:
- I love Tif’s post on how to style a straw hat! She’s glowing {which makes me wonder if Lexington is getting more sunshine that Louisville right now…}, but there’s also a super fun yet subtle neon detail on her hat. #love
- One of my photos was featured on the LIKEtoKNOW.it Instagram account yesterday; it’s always super exciting, but this was one of those pictures that I was just like, “ohhhh yeahhhh this is amazing” when I started editing over the weekend. PS. I’ve been fielding lots of emails about the dress, so if you happen to be looking for the under $20, tassel dress – here is a direct link before the post hits the blog on Monday!
- The Nordstrom Half-Yearly Sale started this week and I’m overwhelmed with how many pretty pieces are marked down to super reasonable prices….Also worth noting that I’m in love with some pretty pieces that are still unreasonable but you know how life is. If you scroll to the top of the sidebar, you can see my top picks for under $100 — most are under $50 though!
- You know I love my donut beach hat, but how stinkin’ cute is this donut beach hat from Katie Bowhead?! #AlwaysDownForDonuts
- Kelly’s post about how much she loves being her parents’ third wheel struck close to home because I’m such a “please never leave me” child and will probably always be crashing my parents’ plans π
When it comes to accessories, I like to use color to contrast, so pairing my pink beaded statement necklace with the turquoise and white of this tank was a no brainer. Complementing the colors, I put on my tan leather strap watch that I’ve been wearing quite a bit lately + a couple go to’s: my gold spiked stretch bracelet, gold ring & tortoise sunglasses.
Wishing you a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend! See you on Monday π

Thanks Tif! I’m hoping us passing Memorial Day means getting much better weather; and yes there’s nothing better than having a shoot that you feel great about π
