Princess Peach and Mario

edit-3223edit-3276edit-3247edit-3272edit-3300edit-3247edit-3304edit-3317edit-3334

Dress: Revolve // Shoes: ASOS // Crown, Gloves, Necklace: Spirit Halloween Store // Earrings: Kate Spade // Purse: Custom // False Eyelashes: Ardell // Lipstick: NYX  // Polo: Ralph Lauren // Jeans: Banana Republic // Hat, Suspenders, Mustache: Spirit Halloween Store

I have always had the hardest time picking out Halloween costumes, and this year was no exception. I found these adorable heels on ASOS and was determined to create an outfit around them. Thanks to a few suggestions on my Instagram, I decided to be Princess Peach from the world of Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros. Luckily Alex was sweet enough to go along as Mario, and complete my Princess Peach look. The hot pink dress I am wearing is from Revolve and matches the ASOS shoes perfectly. I am wearing a size 2 in the dress, but wish I had gotten a larger size because it runs about two sizes small and has a tighter fit. On the other hand, the shoes fit true to size. I am wearing a size 8, and they were comfortable for most of the evening (4 inch heels can really only be so comfortable ha). I found the Princess Peach gloves, necklace, and crown at the Spirit Halloween store, but they can also be found on Amazon. My good friend Mel was kind enough to let me borrow her custom Super Mario star purse that she wore to Comic Con. I completed my look with Ardell 120 demi false lashes and NYX lip gloss in spice cake.
 
Alex is wearing jeans from Banana Republic and a Ralph Lauren polo. These Banana Republic jeans come in multiple washes, but I personally like this darker wash for a nicer look. Alex is wearing a 33×34 in the jeans and a large in the polo which both fit true to size. The suspenders, Mario hat, and mustache all came from Spirit Halloween store, but can also be found online. I like to make my Halloween costumes with pieces that I can wear after Halloween. I was able to accomplish that with both of our costumes, and we will be able to wear at least half of our outfits after our night as Princess Peach and Mario. Shop both of our costumes below! xoxo

Western Caribbean Cruise

This was my first time out of the country, so of course I had to get this adorable GiGi New York passport case for my new (and awful) passport photo. We started our trip in Galveston, followed by two whole days at sea. Our first stop was Montego Bay, Jamaica (pictured wearing this adorable blush cover-up from Anthropologie). We spent our day in a cabana enjoying the perfectly blue water of Jamaica and fresh fruits. After Jamaica we stopped in Grand Cayman, where I spent the day sitting in the middle of the ocean on a sandbar playing with stingrays. If you ever visit Grand Cayman, I highly recommend visiting stingray city, don’t worry you will not get stung by them! Our last stop on the cruise before heading back to Galveston, was Cozumel, Mexico (pictured wearing this pom pom cover-up from ASOS and these denim cut offs from Nordstrom). Cozumel was beautiful but we were in a very tourist heavy part of town and spent most of the day buying souvenirs for the our friends and family. While on the cruise, I was constantly applying sunscreen to avoid getting burned and I feel in love with the Neutrogena Clear Face sunscreen. Banana Boat Tanning Oil has always been a favorite but I used Neutrogena Dry-Touch when I was laying out. It is so important to protect your skin from the harsh sun, especially here in Texas. Don’t forget to stock up on great sunscreen before Memorial Day weekend! xoxo

White Blazer

edit-4275edit-4278edit-4293edit-4285

Blazer: ASOS // Tank: J.Crew // Jeans: Gap // Shoes: Neiman Marcus // Bag: Neiman Marcus

One of the most useful pieces I keep in my closet is this basic white blazer. It is great for all season and can easily be dressed up or down. For a typical and chilly workday, I paired the blazer with a nude tank from J.Crew and light wash, high waisted jeans from Gap. I ordered a size 2 in the blazer because the sleeves run a little short and 25 long in the jeans so I could cuff the ends. These Charles David pumps from Neiman Marcus were also a great basic addition to my closet. I bought them in black and loved them so much I went back and got them in nude. They fit true to size (wearing size 8) and the platform makes them comfortable enough to wear all day. Shop my favorite white blazers below! xoxo

Halloween

Top: ASOS // Leggings: ASOS // Belt: ASOS // Shoes: ASOS 

 I hate buying a costume that I can only wear one day out of the year, so I try to buy pieces that can I can transform into other outfits after Halloween. This year I went to ASOS to find my Sandy from Grease costume. It was easy to put together this classic costume with a pair of black leggings, a black off the shoulder top and a pair of red heels. The best part of this costume is how easy it will be for me to turn this halloween costume into everyday outfits! Hope everyone has a Happy Halloween! xoxo
