Okay, so you probably noticed I received my second pair of sunglasses from Ditto a couple weeks ago. A quick refresher – I lost my favorite everyday pair of shades, so I’m renting sunglasses to try and find a new pair. As much as I would love to have $400 to spend on sunglasses, I know it’s over my budget. BUT I really wanted to try out this style to see if I would like it, and why not try out Prada, right?!?!
Overall, I really like these sunglasses. Some of the pros – They provide good sun blocking on both super sunny days and cloudy but still bright days. The Karen Walker pair didn’t really work well on cloudy days when you only need slight light blocking. The pink frames were really fun, and I think this particular shade works as a great everyday color. I don’t think I ever had an outfit that these didn’t work with. I received TONS of compliments on these sunglasses from both friends and just random people I would pass on the sidewalk. These sunglasses were comfortable not too heavy and stayed put on my face even with a little sweating. They also feel really durable too. The Cons – The price tag on these, but I have seen less expensive pairs. After a couple weeks, the over-sized cat-eye look did wear on me a bit. I was ready to trade these in.
I am officially placing these babies in the mail today to go back to Ditto. My next pair already arrived on Saturday. Both previous pairs were over-sized, so I decided to go smaller this time. I tried to find a pair that had the pros from each previous pair. Want a sneak peek of my next pair?? Check them out HERE.

It has been some cloudy, gloomy days around here lately. The good news is that my parent’s house still is water-free, although the back of their neighborhood does have a bit of water. My hometown is still flooding, but the rain is expected to end this weekend with a full week of sunshine ahead! YAY!! I can’t think of a better gray day to post such a fun and colorful outfit, perfect for summer!!
I LOVE mixing colors in my outfit. Some people like print mixing, but me I am a color mixer. I’m obsessed with this pink shade for summer. It’s a super bright pink, but not real neon in your face. It also works really well with other colors. Turquoise and yellow are two of my favorite colors to pair with pink. They also work really well together, so I decided to go with all three for this look. I like to pair bright colors with white because I think it really helps the colors pop.
I am such a fan of halter tops for summer! I love showing off a little shoulder. This one is lightweight too, so perfect to wear outside. It’s not too long, so you can also easily pair this with black shorts or white denim shorts. I also think this top would be so perfect with these shorts and some black wedges!
I am so ready for a fun summer party (hint hint friends), and this is going to be the perfect colorful summer party outfit to wear to an evening party or happy hour. I hope ya’ll have a really great weekend, and thanks so much for swinging by this week!

Silver Jewelry Always
| DETAILS |
TOPSHOP Blue Tunic/old (similar) | PAIGE DENIM Skyline Skinny Jeans | SOLE SOCIETY Jenny Wedges | VERA BRADLEY c/o Quilted Crossbody Bag | JULIE VOS Coin Pendant Necklace | KENDRA SCOTT Arden Bracelet, c/o Fran Earrings (similar) | STELLA & DOT Bracelet | RAYBAN Mirrored Aviators | Nails: JULEP Shari | Lips: MAC Craving & CLINIQUE First Date
Before I started blogging, I wore all silver jewelry. I seriously owned nothing gold. I would also always get frustrated when I would find super cute things in gold with no silver option. One day one of my girlfriends’ and I were having one of those random topic conversations and somehow ended up on the subject of jewelry. She was the opposite of me and wore all gold. She convinced me to give it a try, so I invested in the Mia necklace and Chloe studs from Gorjana. It wasn’t long until I found myself reaching for them more and more. I soon added more Gorjana pieces including one of my most worn necklaces, the Mika. Soon I was adding gold left and right from Baublebar and Kendra Scott. My jewelry box was soon filled with gold jewelry.
BUT, despite this, my first love still remained my silver jewelry. I still do think gold pieces are easier to find, but I have started to find brands like Julie Vos that carry some of their pieces in both metal options!! YAY! Kendra does this too although sometimes you have to order from the color bar to get the stone you want. I’m someone who definitely shops in phases. When I first started buying gold pieces, I bought tons because it was like this door to fun and trendy jewelry had been opened, and I wanted all of it! Lately though, I find myself slowly slipping back into buying more silver. For me I consider my silver jewelry more of an investment because I know I will always wear it. I am willing to splurge a little like on this necklace or the Henri Bendel bracelets from Monday’s post. Now I’m on the quest to balance wearing both metals, maybe even mixing a little, but more on that next week. 🙂
Thanks for swinging by today!!
