I LOVE taking a trip to the apple orchard each fall. Between the pretty scenery, fresh fruit, time with family, and yummy deserts, a trip to the apple orchard is a must for me each autumn. This year I had been hoping to go on a cool morning that I would be able to bundle up in a cute sweater and a plaid blanket scarf. However, the weather didn't quite cooperate with my wishes and I ended up going on a sunny 80 degree day. Since I didn't feel like sweating to death, I went with a cooler outfit that is perfect for the warm mid-west weather we've been having lately. This top from Francesca's is literally the cutest thing ever. I have been wearing it on repeat ever since I picked it up a few weeks ago. All summer I had been looking for an off-the-shoulder top that was flattering and after three months of searching I came across this one! I love how the ruffled peplum style creates a waistline. I am so excited to find ways to transition this top into fall with burgundy ...

Happy Labor Day! Where has the summer gone?! It seems like summer started a week ago, but now I am already back to school! This summer was a busy one for me but one of the best so far. It was full of time spent with friends and family, vacations in Wisconsin, a mission trip in Minneapolis, and working. As a way to wrap up the summer, I thought I would do one last summer post. This outfit was one of my go-to's this summer. It is light and breezy and perfect for a hot summer day. I love the colors of this outfit. The coral shorts and the white top scream summer vacation to me. It is so easy to throw on, and it instantly is an effortless summer look. How gorgeous is this patio?! The purple table and chairs were too cute to pass up getting a photo! The weather was gorgeous the morning we were out doing some shopping in King, WI (near Waupaca) and was perfect for this look. I love mixing simple tops, like this white lace top, with bright and colorful ...

Perfect summer days call for picnics. I love getting together with friends and throwing together a little picnic.  It's such a fun and simple way to keep in contact with people over the summer and to create fun memories. For this post I want to show you an outfit that I think is just perfect for picnics, as well as my picnic necessities! I love putting together outfits that have a nautical vibe to them! This is a breathable outfit, and it is perfect for warm summer days. I adore the contrast between the black and white stripes and the pop of color of these cute Loft shorts give the look. This is an effortless outfit while still looking adorable. It's also super simple to put together with items from your own closet, since they are basic pieces. My favorite spot to picnic this summer has been down by the riverfront. There are plenty of trees for shade, and there is something so peaceful about sitting near the water! Just make sure to grab some bug spray if you decide...

With the 4th being just two days away (where has summer gone already?!?), I thought I would share with you a few looks to help jump start anyone still needing outfit inspo for Monday! I tried to put together looks for several different occasions and different personal styles. Let me know in the comments which look is your favorite! Make-up and Hair    For my makeup I did my everyday makeup look and added a fun, bright red lipstick to make the looks more patriotic! For my hair I used my 25mm NuMe curling wand and lightly brushed through the curls to get a softer curl/ defined wave.     Look #1: Simple and Trendy    This outfit is super simple to re-create! I made sure to keep it simple with staples that most people already have in their closet.  What you need to get the look:   A white t-shirt Denim shorts (even better if they are high-waisted!) A red bandana (Walmart sells them for $1) White Converse or sneakers Fun...

Spring is officially here and I am so happy! I'm loving the warmer weather that we have been having and all of the green that has appeared! The trees fully in bloom are beyond gorgeous and I could not be happier! Spring is such a bright and happy time of year and I feel this outfit is perfectly incorporates that feeling!   As you can tell by my Instagram the last few weeks,  I have been LOVING pastel pink this spring! It instantly makes any outfit look like it was made for spring! I also love the feminine pop of color it adds to an outfit.     How gorgeous are these tree's!?! The three weeks in the spring where everything is in bloom is my absolute favorite time of the year! This dress is SO perfect! The cut of it is super flattering and the fabric is nice and thick! Since the colors of the dress are so neutral I will definitely be playing around with different ways to change up the look! I already have thought out several different ways t...

Spring is here and what better way to celebrate than to make a trip to a tulip farm! Tulip’s are one of my favorite flowers, so visiting the rows of tulip’s put me in my happy place! The day we went was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, so lots of people had the same idea as us to head on out there. Even though it was crowed, the tulips still looked amazing and didn’t look picked over at all! I thought I would share with you all today some pictures from my trip to Texas Tulips, as well as some details about how I wore my overalls! I was literally in my happy place here! The tulip's were beautiful and the weather was absolutely perfect! This hat from Target is the cutest thing ever! It's super versitile and I wore it a lot while I was down in Texas! To make it even better, the ribbon makes a little bow on the side!  These overalls are a favortie of mine this spring and I love that they have made a comeback! Growing up I used to wear them all the time! These black overalls are...
