i love to mix my patterns—stripes, checks, florals, polka dots—you name it. 

if you like the idea of mixing prints but don't know how, start with stripes. 

you can {almost} never go wrong.

stay classy, neon.

i'm loving the neon trend this season,

but as you can read {here}, you want to be careful not to get

too carried away with this 80s classic. 

by pairing my neon blouse and accessories with a traditional white blazer, 

i inject a little funk and personality into my look while still keeping it classy.

dealin'.

even if you don't have an "eye for fashion", you know that colored denim is all the rage this season.

it's hot, and it's everywhere!

since I'm working off my stubborn baby weight, i didn't want to invest a lot of money into this trend,

but i still wanted to embrace it.

i picked up these beauties for only $19. you heard it, 19 bucks!

once i lose my baby weight {hopefully sooner than later},

i can toss these jeans without thinking twice.

hello white, i've missed you.

white pants are such a versatile option for summer,

and now that memorial day has passed, we can officially pull them out!
{although I'd be lying if I said they haven't been in my closet for a few weeks now...}

throw on some heels, a blouse, and lipstick for a night out,
or keep it casual with a tucked-in tee & sperry's.

to make it short & sweet, tgif!

halle-freakin-lujah, it's the weekend y'all,
and i could not be more excited that my friday is O-V-E-R!!

today was....
the spill your coke on your lap kind of day.
the wear too high of heels until you get blisters kind of day.
the come to find out you've been starving your child with lack of milk kind of day.
the rent a new breast pump worth your rent to fix that problem kind of day.
—and to top it off—
the lock yourself out of your apartment ALL day kind of day.

basically, i could not be more excited that today is over and that the weekend is here baby!
not only is our 5-year anniversary over the weekend, but it is also mothers' day.
and i get to spend it with my two most favorite people.

happy mothers' day to all you hot mamas!
you deserve it.
