Boyfriend Tee ($37) | Black & White Stripes Dress ($42) | Peach Tropical Pencil Skirt ($17) | Navigating the Neighborhood Flat ($30) | Champion Gingham Lace ($40) | Talking Flowers Small Wallet ($35) | Eat Cake For Breakfast iPhone Case ($40) | Orange Infinity Scarf ($15) | Illustrative Journal ($24) | Feeling 'Crabby' Necklace ($35)
I'm always on the hunt for a good bargain, who isn't though? You don't have to spend a lot to get a good quality product sometimes, but it's all about how you approach finding that particular item. I'm literally on sites everyday making wish lists here and there for items that catch my eye, and I'm always thinking about what I can afford and what is necessary for me. While the latter is usually not the case for me when I do go shopping, I kind-of binge shop sometimes, it's always nice to be thinking ahead of time for when you can make a unique purchase that will last a long time. I do like to use my discounts I receive from work, and am always trying to boost business at the company in doing so. I have rounded up ten finds that are all under $50, wahoo! It's just a mix bag of anything and everything that has caught my eye lately. And really, what hasn't caught my eye lately? Enjoy!

Yes, yes I know it's a little late to be talking about my inspiration for the month of June but I still wanted to get it out there. It's my favorite month, not only because it's my birthday month, but because it's the start of summer and those lazy and sunny days. People get married, go on vacations, new blockbusters come out and tons of new music can be blasted through our speakers. It's just a great month, and I hope you all have been having a fantastic one.

My want of the week is the absolutely adorable Brazil & Rainforest collection from Gap! Being a current employee for the company, I've been able to work hand-in-hand with this collection and it's so much fun! It ranges from adult all the way to baby, and so it's a really versatile collection and features great prints that are perfect for this season. That toucan dress from the kids section is my absolute favorite and I'm really crossing my fingers that they can translate it into the adult category. I even reached out on Twitter to express this recommendation, and I hope something can come of it. How fun is it? It's just so whimsical, if that's the word you wanted to use. It's also very me, as I'm constantly digging the fruit trend that is popping up this season. What's your favorite item from this collection?
P.S. You can find all of these items in the New Arrivals section for Women, Girls, and Toddler Girl! It's obviously also in the Boys and Toddler Boy sections as well. :)

It's not officially summer yet, but it definitely feels it here in Minnesota. With temperatures climbing, it's also allowing for storms to roll in and cause heavy downpour and gusting winds. What fun! Here I am again talking about the weather, I'm such a Minnesotan. This is literally the topic of almost every first conversation and I find it hilarious. But anyways, this has inspired me to share a few summer outfits that I would love to have in my wardrobe. I'm constantly looking for new clothing and accessories, and so these five outfits are essentially the style I'm aiming for. Number one is my favorite, the pineapple t-shirt is so awesome! Which one is your fave?

Another year, and another year older. Only this time I'm going to be a quarter of a century older. Where did all the time go? Where did my youth go? I'm not going to make a huge reflection on this, but it's just so crazy to think that I'm essentially no longer a kid. While I haven't been for awhile, I just still feel like I'm 21 and about to take on the world. Changing ages shouldn't be such a big issue, but for me it's just about how far I've come personally and professionally. I don't feel I've accomplished everything I wanted to by this age, and all of the expectations I had for myself were only reached about halfway. The career and position that I've dreamt about is so close I can almost touch it, but the opportunity on the other edge of the cliff is plucking my fingers off one by one. I'm just not where I'd like to be, and after trying so hard with college and applying to different positions, I'm burnt out. I have just taken on a new path in my career, it's not what I expected, but I'm hoping that it's the right thing for me to do since all my other options are out the window. I guess I have to let fate lead me where I'm supposed to be and wish for the best. I'll just cross those last few fingers that are teetering on the edge and hope that I can move up quickly in the new position I've accepted. Wish me luck!
Let's
change moods, alright? It's my 25th birthday, and I should celebrate and be
happy that I'm healthy, have a roof over my head and have people who love me.
That's all I can ask for, what really anyone can ask for. My beautiful sister
is throwing me a birthday party this weekend, and I'm stoked. It's a surprise
location andI don't know who is going to show up. I'm so excited and looking
forward to wearing the dress I purchased, which helps transition into the topic
of this post! It was on the top of my list, alongside the Kate Spade bag my
mother and sister bought me. Strike two off this then, and I will now just dream
about the rest. I feel so lucky that I got the two biggest ones I wanted, so
huzzah! Look for pictures of the event on Instagram next week! xoxox

Happy Friday! Hope you all have a lovely weekend. So excited it's finally here (again) and the weather is absolutely gorgeous outside. It's the perfect time to mix and concoct some tasty drinks to bring to the party. It's so hot here right now, that really anything fruity is at the top of my list. It's my goal to at least make one of these at home, so check out my IG to see if I can come up with all of the ingredients. Here are 5 cocktails to sip and taste this weekend. Let me know if you try any of them!

A current obsession of mine, especially for summer, is the wavy hairstyle that is easy to perfect. This natural hairstyle can line your face so nicely, and can make for a flirty and feminine look with whatever you're wearing! I have naturally straight hair that sometimes waves out to the side when I cut it, but I always like adding a little wave when I have longer hair. This my dilemma right now, but I'm looking to get a similar hairstyle like the lady in the bottom right picture. I love how it's natural looking and seems fairly easy to maintain. That color too! Hoping to get my hair cut and styled next week just in time for my birthday.
What is your favorite hairstyle of the moment?

Happy June!!! It's my favorite month (hint, hint: BIRTHDAY MONTH) since we get so many good things that happen during it. The weather is slowly creeping up in humidity, thunderstorms are abound. vacations are being planned and there's nothing better than some cleaning around the house. Since I'm always dreaming of the day I can finally own my own place, I figured to start off the month I'd share some home items I'd absolutely die for to have in my humble abode. My want of the week is Anthropologie's home collection! It's literally a dream clicking through each section and finding something that pops out, because it's really not that difficult! It's even better when you go into a store and they have their visuals set up, you can imagine your own place being put together the way it is and it's very inspiring. These items above are just some of the things I'd want in my own place. Yes, please. But only until I'm rich and famous, right?!
