How I Style It: Shorts

August 3, 2016

Happy Wednesday and welcome to this month’s installment of How I Style It!  I cannot believe that August is already here, although I do have to share that I’m super excited about all the fresh and colorful school and office supplies that are showing up everywhere. #TypeAProblems

This is also the first post featuring pictures from my new camera {ahhh hopefully I’ll remember to share more about this development once I get settled into using it & life isn’t as crazy} so bear with me as I get acclimated.

I hadn’t gotten a chance to wear this pave ring set from Charming Charlie until this past weekend and it is safe to say that I’m in love. At only $10, it’s a complete steal too; I love that you can wear the rings separately or altogether depending on what level of accessorizing you’re going for.

What Nicole Wore: Elephant Shorts

As soon as we decided to go with shorts for this month’s blog hop, I knew I wanted to style these elephant ones.  I’ve worn them quite a few times since I ordered them, but hadn’t had a chance to style them on the blog yet.  They have a 4″ inseam which I love; I’m at the stage of my life where I don’t want to wear booty shorts but also have no desire to wear bermuda shorts so this is a good compromise for me.  I paired these whimsical shorts with this lightweight off the shoulder top.  The bell sleeves and pom poms are super on trend for summer and like I said, it’s lightweight so wearing it doesn’t make me want to lie my entire body over an air conditioning unit.

Irresistible Me Hair Extensions

August 1, 2016

It’s August friends!  Did you catch the big Instagram roundup that I posted over the weekend? It has all the details of everything that I’ve posted for over a month.  Today’s post is a little different than normal, I’m sharing all the details on my new Irresistible Me hair extensions.

What Nicole Wore: Irresistible Me Hair

I’ve always wanted long hair, but can’t commit to the upkeep of actually having long hair.  It’s not an uncommon dilemma and most of us know that during the summer months, long hair can be one big, sweaty annoyance.

What Nicole Wore: Irresistible Me Hair

I was so excited when Irresistible Me reached out to me because the clip ins are super easy to put in {I put these in myself} and can quickly be taken out too.  I ordered the 22″ Silky Touch extensions in natural black and the match was perfect.  Irresistible Me has tons of resources to help you pick out the correct shade as well as decide what length you want.  One of the best things about these extensions is that they send one clip in sealed separately from the rest, that way you can make sure the set you ordered is the right match.  If it’s not, Irresistible Me lets you ship the package back and get the right color.What Nicole Wore: Irresistible Me Hair

My set was 200 grams of hair and nine pieces plus the test piece; I have super thick hair so wearing all the clip ins is a bit much for me, but if you’re on the other end of the spectrum and struggle with thin hair, the is a great way to add some volume.  The clip ins are real hair so definitely treat them like you would your own hair: use heat protectant when applying heat, gently comb and brush them out and store them neatly.  My {high maintenance} hair always needs high heat to get straight or take a curl, but when I tried to curl all the hair at once, it was a little too hot for the extensions so be mindful of that too. My exact clip ins are 25% off right now; Irresistible Me also has a premium option with the Royal Remy set, the new Tape In extensions, faux ponytails and hair tools.What Nicole Wore: Irresistible Me Hair

Lace Up Pom Pom Sandals

July 25, 2016

This striped romper is super cute but always gets wrinkly so quickly, womp womp.  Still it’s very comfortable, one of the few rompers that fits me and has adjustable straps.

While I appreciate neutrals {really I do!}, I am definitely more of a color kinda gal. One of the best things about neutrals, in my humble opinion, is how easy it is to incorporate colorful accessories.  While I did go for a print mixing outfit, I love the way the white and blue ratio is flipped between the shorts of this romper and the polka dot chambray shirt.  I knew I wanted to wear my new colorful lace up sandals and so my rainbow tassel clutch seemed like the perfect bag to go with this outfit.

Pom Pom Lace Up Sandals

Button down shirts are pretty much my bread and butter when it comes to closet staples; they’re easy to dress up or down, come in so many different colors and prints and really are just appropriate for each and every occasion. Work? Button down. Casual dinner out? Button down. Tucked into a skirt for a flirty date night look? Button down. Basically, what I’m saying is buy all the button downs. {Because I do….}

Pom Pom Lace Up Sandals

Of course we have to talk about these amazing sandals.  I first saw this style last summer and when spring rolled around, I knew I had to have a pair.  They come in a wide variety of colors and prices; these ones from SheIn are just $36 {with free shipping – my fave!} which is such a steal compared to the $150 pair I had my eye on.  I’m a pretty true 8.5 in shoes and am wearing the EUR 39 here.  I will share that these are not the most comfortable shoes I’ve ever put on, but in my experience with lace ups, they rarely are.  The lace up straps on these are easy to tie and adjust around your foot and don’t cut into your legs too badly thanks to the thicker faux leather straps.

Tara Lynn’s Colorblock Top

July 21, 2016

For whatever reason I’ve been in a tired, ‘please don’t make me get out of bed,’ ‘do I really have to?’ kind of funk this week and I’m pretty much ready to wrap this week up, put a bow on it and start all over.  Why can’t I just snuggle up in bed and pretend it’s the weekend every day?

Tara Lynn's Colorblock Top

I’ve added so many new pieces of jewelry to my wardrobe lately; like I said in this post, with the temperature {and even worse the humidity} going up, up and away lately, I’ve been drawn to easy, lightweight outfits that I can breathe in {and at times peacefully sweat in…life.}  I’m not a huge fan of statement necklaces this time of year because they can get heavy and just seem like a lot once the real temperatures and humidity of the day start to show up.  This blue Y necklace has a super lightweight chain that doesn’t get sticky with sweat or tangled in hair and has a cute gold chain tassel at the end as well as a couple of pave beads to add some sparkle.  Rings are not the most summer friendly jewelry item for me {#sweatyhands} but this open gemstone ring is so cute and the perfect colors for me.

Tara Lynn's Colorblock Top

This top is perfect with it’s bright summer hues and very light and breathable fabric.  It could easily be styled with jean shorts or cropped pants if the thought of wearing jeans is too daunting right now.  I love the colorblock detail but the red-orange stripes really drew my eye and are such a fun touch for summer.  Plus it matches perfectly with my bag and now I can trick people into thinking I have my life together.

Gold and mint seem like a match made in heaven.  I love stretch bracelets and they’re super to easy to wear alone or stack if you have baby wrists like me.

Adorn Apparel: Summer Floral Dress

July 20, 2016

I absolutely love the dress that I’m featuring today because it has so many possibilities: you can throw a jean jacket over it for a more casual look or wear it out for dinner or drinks.  One of the awesome things about it is that it’s under $45!

Summer Floral Dress

I’m not always into being matchy-matchy, but I couldn’t get over how perfectly my new tassel pieces matched with this turquoise floral print.  I also pulled on this pink and orange stretch bracelet as a way to add in some more fun color.  I love that the florals in this print have such vibrant and eye catching colors.
Summer Floral Dress

I wore my suede fringe wedges to bring a bit of a bohemian vibe into this look, but you could easily dress it up with a strappy nude {or hot pink} heel or dress it down with flat sandals.  The number of colors in this print make it easy to choose a complementary color and run with it.Summer Floral Dress

I’ve gone over the whole ‘I’m dark, I want my dresses lined’ rant a number of times and I’m happy to report that this dress is lined (HOORAY!) and also features a super cute neckline.  The subtle halter shows off some shoulder and has a fun keyhole detail on the back.

Completely unrelated but how awesome do my nails look here?! I wish I had the time, patience, not messy life to rock white nails all. the. time.
