Red, White and Pretty Pants

Today I have the first of two Fourth of July themed looks for you! I'm featuring these awesome earrings from Shop Pretty Pants! They have super cute jewelry, including this Cassie necklace which I will be styling in a future shoot! I actually don't tend to wear larger earrings a whole lot, but these are literally PERFECT! When I got them in the mail, it was like they were hand-picked for me! I love them! I pulled my hair back on one side so I could show them off. They would also be the perfect compliment to an updo for a special event or to fancy up a basic ponytail! Do yourself a favor and get them! (Oh, and they're on sale!)

My hubby and I went to dinner last night at Gabbi's Mexican Restuarant to celebrate our one year engagement anniversary because it's where we went to dinner the night we got engaged! If you live in the area, GO. And get the Queso Fundido. #yourewelcome I decided to go for a bit of a festive look for dinner seeing as it's almost my FAVE holiday evaaa. I literally love it all, the barbecues and swimming and fireworks and friends and America. It's everything I love about summer in one day. Stay tuned for my second patriotic post later this week! Happy hump daaaaaaay!

P.S. EXCUSE my hair ties on my wrist. I literally forget about them almost every time I do a shoot, and they're super noticeable in this one! I always keep one on my wrist because when I want my hair up, I want it up now. Ha. Guess it's just gonna be my thang.

Lace Love

Hey everyone! If you didn't see already from Instagram, Ben and I went beach camping over the weekend! It was so fun! I didn't end up pulling off it being a surprise (I was SOOOOOO sad) because I left something open on the computer accidentally when I was leaving for work last Thursday. Boo. But we still had the best time. We hadn't ever been camping together! And camping is already so much fun, but let me tell you, camping with a hubby is like a million times better. We just went to the beach and sat around the fire and snuggled and ate the best fish tacos and went for a walk and read and threw the football. Oh, and it was Ben's 24th birthday too so we obviously celebrated that! The best weekend.

Now onto my outfit! This lace kimono is probably one of my favorite recent purchases. You can put it on with shorts, pants, a dress, or a romper, and it instantly adds to your look. I always love finding the cute, simple dresses at Forever that you can add whatever you want to. This one in particular happened to be the perfect cut, and I just love it! I'm obviously obsessed with this necklace as well!

Hope you all have the best day! Today is our one year engagement anniversary, and we're going back to dinner at the place we went after we got engaged! (Yes, we are AT LEAST going to celebrate that this year :P)
