Easy Summer Dressing with Tara Lynn’s Boutique

July 13, 2016

Happy Wednesday! I’ve been working on tweaking my blogging schedule a bit so tomorrow there will be a new outfit post up and hopefully going forward there will be new posts on What Nicole Wore every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday!

We’re quickly approaching ‘it’s too hot to wear more than minimal clothing’ degrees in Kentucky and I’ve been stocking up on all the cute and lightweight tanks I can get my grubby little hands on because pretty soon it’s all I’m going to want to wear. This white eyelet tank from Tara Lynn’s Boutique immediately caught my eyelet with the mixed media detail between the eyelet and sides and the cute orange and baby blue pom pom trim.  My order arrived super quickly and the XS is an easy breezy fit on me.  Lots of small boutiques don’t carry XS in tops and I find myself drowning in fabric — not the case with Tara Lynn’s!

I wore this tank out when I went to grab donuts and look at some of the wall murals while I was in Cincinnati.  The eyelet covers the shoulders so I did wear a strapless bra with it, but I’m pretty much BFFs with my strapless bra now so no harm, no foul.  The fun trim on this tank made it fun to accessorize — you really can wear so many summer colors with it.  I wore my blue faced Michael Kors watch and a couple bright stretch bracelets that I love.

My Madewell tote has been everything lately; it’s the perfect sized bag for school {I can pack all my folders, notebooks, pens and of course many, many snacks} or work and was perfect for toting around my tripod and essentials while I was out of town.  It does come in a couple different colors but I couldn’t resist this classic cognac that goes with everything.

Where Nicole Went: Cincinnati Travel Diary

July 11, 2016

I hope you’re ready for a full work week; I’m already feeling like I might be dragging behind the struggle bus, but I’m keeping a positive mind that I’m going to get through this.

Today, I am sharing some photos from my long weekend in Cincinnati.  I went right before the 4th to watch a good friend of mine get married.  While I’ve been to Cincinnati a few times {it’s only an hour and a half from Louisville}, its always been just for a few hours.  I’ve never really had the chance to explore so I decided to plan my own weekend getaway and relax a little.

I chose to stay at 21C Museum Hotel for a variety of reasons; I’ve only heard good things about the boutique hotel chain that started in Louisville and now has six locations throughout the south and midwest.  The Cincinnati location is downtown and and was central to everything I needed: donuts, Panera, the wedding reception, etc.  It also has a CVS right at the corner in case you forget any necessities.

Each hotel has an art museum in the lobby that is open to the public as well as a restaurant and spa.  You can book online or by phone and the staff was amazing.  There are several parking lots very close by, but I chose to utilize the valet; it’s $35 per night and you do have in and out privileges which is really convenient if you want to leave the city and check out some of the shopping, art murals or cross over the river to Northern Kentucky.

So let me show you what the suite looks like!
