Summer Style // Rompers

Rompers are so cute! I've been seeing more and more of these outfits and I love that they can be worn with flats, sandals, or heels! There are so many different patters/prints and colors, and they can be dressy or casual! I haven't been shopping in a while due to being busy with work and everyday life chores, but I definitely need to add this to my list of must haves. I searched Pinterest for a couple different ones that I really like! Here are my favorites:




This super cute and bright yellow romper is adorable and perfect for summer time! Find this at: www.shopdailychic.com



This so simple yet classy Navy Romper is perfect for lunch or a date night! This is from J. Crew but is currently sold out! :-(


Loved this color! This Wilfred Melodique Romper also comes in Black, Lavender and Red (Punch). This color is called Turquoise Sea. This is from aritzia.com but is currently sold out in all colors except for sizes Medium and Large. Black is sold out completely. 


From www.anthropologie.com this one is one of my favorites! The colors are so bright and beautiful! 


I really like the Tribal and Aztec patterns style. Black and white is always in and this romper can be paired with a nice jean jacket. www.she-fashions.com


I love the color of this romper. I also love the neck line with the detail and bead design! It is my second favorite but I can't find where to get it! 


As soon as I hit the mall I am going to be on a mission to find a couple cute rompers to wear out! I guess I could always buy one online, but what's the fun in that!

Quotes...

I love looking on Pinterest for inspiring quotes! I could pin all day long quotes that are meaningful now, were meaningful and could be in the future! Here are some for today that I stood out to me:













Low Carb Snacks


It's hard sticking to a diet. Especially when you have so many temptations out there. This is why for me doing a low carb diet works best for me. I love not feel bloated, having energy, and feel better in general. I don't have much of a sweet tooth, my biggest problem is staying away from breads and pasta. I don't completely eat low carb, every once in a while I enduldge in stuff not low carb but I drink a lot of water. I also get back to it the next day or whenever I feel I want to. I don't deprive myself of anything and I eat when I am hungry.

Sometimes I'm not always super hungry so it's important that I pack little snack here and there to help me stay on track. Here are some low carb snack ideas that are perfect for being on the go or at home in between meals:

 

I love almonds. They are so easy to pack and snack on! 



Atkins has soooo many more options now than they used to. They have snacks, shakes, candies, and even meals. I love that because they already calculate your carbs and these snacks actually taste delicious. I always carry one of these in my purse just in case.



This is one of the shakes that I drink when I am craving something sweet. They have so many favors, this is strawberry banana. I also have the French vanilla shakes and I love those. I like how these come with caps you can put back on if you don't plan on drinking all at once or if traveling. Very convenient and delicious.


These Hillshire snacks I recently discovered while shopping at Target. There are 3 different selections to choose from, it's grilled chicken that comes with dipping sauces. 7g of carbs, not too bad for a quick snack while on the go. My favorite is the honey mustard and you can heat up chicken or eat them cold. 



For me I love sandwiches and subs and it kills me not to be able to enduldge in a Publix sub everyday but this is a great solution that almost tricks my mind into thinking I am eating one. I take cheese, any kind, and wrap turkey or ham around it. You can choose any kind of deli meat and if you want to get fancy you can always add other things in between the cheese and meat such as; banana peppers,  jalapeƱos, tomatoes, lettuce and any condiments you choose. For me this is so simple, yet appetizing and fulfilling.

Hope these snack ideas help any of you trying to stick to low carb diet or any kind of diet for that matter! :-) 









Summer Style // Tribal Print Palazzo Pants

I've been seeing this style more and these pants looked so comfortable and cute I had to get a pair for myself. I love bright colors with Aztec and Tribal prints. I picked up this pair from Target they were $17.99. These palazzo pants are great because you can pair them with a crop top, tucked in cami, or nice tank top. It's a classy, casual summer style! I'm also digging the jumpsuits and I'd like to try some of those as well. 

I wore a pair of brown flip flops from Target and a white tank also from Target. Simple and cute style from Target!

Blackened Chicken Salad


Quick and delicious this salad is perfect for lunch or dinner and it's easy to put together! I love chicken and I eat a lot of it because it's easy to make and goes with a lot of things. Every once in a while I will go through a salad phase. I love wedge salads but one day I was in the mood for certain ingredients so I threw together this salad and it's been my go to for the last month. Obviously I don't only eat salads but when I want one this is what I make. I love how it's very simple, yet filling! I wanted to share because this salad is perfect for either lunch or dinner. 

I love blackened chicken, adds more flavor and is simple! I make my own blackening seasoning using: Salt, Pepper, Garlic Salt, Garlic powder, Cayenne Pepper, Paprika, and Red Pepper. Mix it all together in a bowl, then I spray the chicken with a little butter and rub seasoning on it. I use olive oil and cook on medium heat in skillet. After the chicken is cooked I like to slice it before putting on top of my salad! 

There are only 5 ingredients which are: any kind of lettuce, I like romaine. Cucumbers and tomatoes diced up, mozzarella cheese and any dressing but I use Ranch! That's it! Well topped with chicken that is 6 but super easy to make and delicious and filling!

My Makeup Favorites



I'd like to think I'm pretty simple when it comes to makeup. I don't wear a lot and I usually only take about 10 minutes max to apply my makeup. It's deciding which outfit to wear that takes the most.

I use Mary Kay makeup brushes and I love them! They work so well for me, are durable and are very soft!

I have a makeup palette that my cousin Maria actually left here from New York and she told me to keep it. Turns out it is the best and I love all the color selections it has! Sometimes I look down at all the colors and think "what color should I pick today" and then I always end up using the same color, usually anything neutral like the browns or light grays.

My foundation which currently is my favorite so far out of the many foundations I've tried. It's L'Oreal Paris True Match Lumi. I love how light it feels on my skin and it has SPF of 20 which I think most foundations do but living in Florida it's a definite must!

For mascara I use L'Oreal Paris as well and this too is my favorite. I've probably used this same brand of mascara for more than a year now. For me it does what I need it to do, doesn't clump and looks great!



I'm not big on wearing a lot of makeup, I keep it pretty simple for the most part. What are some of your makeup product favorites?

Date Night Outfit

Between work, spending time with the kids, wrestling practice/tournaments and family events, my babe and I try our best to incorporate time for just us. When you have lots going on like we do, you truly appreciate the time you spend together! We have a couple favorite spots that we love to go to when we can, otherwise we are completely content with spending the day at the beach or lounging around the house.

Since it's summer time, I want to be comfortable, feel beautiful and look classy! This cute outfit is perfect for date night!


At first I was so mad at myself for buying this shirt in a medium because they didn't have any smalls and I HAD to have it. Now I'm glad I did because I can either tuck this shirt in or let it flow. Either way it's super cute and I paired this shirt with black shorts from Love Culture. My heels are Guess and I LOVE them! They go with everything and are easy to walk in! 




Some gold accessories: Michael Kors watch and gold chain bracelet from Express. Love MK :)


My boyfriend thinks this clutch is so ugly but I love it! You can use the chain with or no chain but I think this goes great with my outfit! Its from Aldo!



I am obsessed with leopard print! One of the reasons why I HAD to have this shirt! Love the pocket gives the shirt some pop of color/style :)


Great store! Sooo many cute shirts, shorts, dresses and more! You can check out their stuff here at Windsor Store ! :)

Summer Style//Crochet Shorts




Crochet shorts? What do you guys think? My boyfriend hates them. I love them. They go with so many tops, and can be casual or dressy! Super cute and comfortable, I'm loving the look. I paired mine with a quarter-length bright teal shirt and a pair of cute wedges!  Perfect for spring or summer time, I'm hoping this style sticks around for a while!



[Top and Shorts are both from Express]

This look is more of a casual, "out for the day" look. I'm wearing brown wedges but if you switch up your blouse and heels this could easily become a dressy style worn out to dinner for a date or girls night! :)

Summer Style//Crop Tops



Loving this sorta new summer style. Crop tops are super cute, they come in all kinds of styles, colors and patterns. Not to mention you can wear them with shorts, maxi skirts, or jeans! I'm definitely a fan and can't wait to incorporate them more into my summer wardrobe! These tops are not something I'd normally pick to wear and I am trying to break that boring style I have and change it up! I have sooo many clothes that I said "oh I'll wear that" and I never end up doing that! I'm so guilty of changing my outfit 10000X and I always end up playing it safe but I need to be more confident in my skin. No matter what people are always going to have something to say but my best advice is love yourself and the body you got! Wear what you want and be confident! 







[Crop Top from H&M. Black Shorts from Love Culture]

Beach Style



Summer time is finally here and lucky for me I live in Florida which means on my days off I'm hitting the beach! I got myself a new bathing suit from Victoria Secret and I plan on getting a couple more from some different places this summer. My sunglasses are Tory Burch and they are my favorite because they are polarized, they look so cute and go with every outfit! TKEE's  flip flops, these are one of my favorites because they come in all different kinds of colors and styles!

Usually when I hit the beach I just throw on a pair of shorts, shirt or tank top, doesn't really matter anyway because I spend the majority of the time in my bathing suit! :)

Here's to summertime!!!
