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)

Beautiful Cover Girl (Don't lie. You were thinking it too!) So Wednesday when I did these photos, we had crazy weather here! It got all hot and windy and there was a fire nearby so the air was GROSSS. On those kind of days you just want something cool and light to put on so that's why I opted for this cotton button up shirt. I've been into tying my cotton shirts up because it goes along with the shorter shirt trend without having to get a new shirt! I even turned one of mine into a crop last week by tying it up higher and pairing it with a high-waisted skirt.t I'm all about reinventing what you already have! I also loving buttoning these shirts all the way up because it gives it more of a preppy look. 

Guys, the blogging community is kind of crazy. There are so many girls out there doing it, and I randomly made a friend through Instagram. Like we actually started texting and hope to meet some day kind of friends. Check out her blog Moda Prints, and keep your eye out for the fun fashion collab that Alena and I are going to be doing in the near future!

It's Friday! That doesn't mean much for me usually because I'm in the salon on Saturdays but I'm happy for all of you. :P Have a great weekend!
