Blue Maxi

This is the first maxi dress I ever bought, and since then I haven't looked back. I have a maxi dress obsession, and I love the fact that they come in petite sizes at LOFT. This was the perfect weekend outfit for chasing around the pup who seriously won't stop growing. She's already over 50 pounds and is 10 months old! She's too cute.

I'll be in Charlotte this weekend to attend my first ever blog conference! I'm really excited and nervous at the same time. I'd love to hear any advice if you've been to a conference before.

Neon and Studs

I wore this outfit last weekend when the hubs and I went to lunch. He gave me these flats for my birthday and I'm obsessed with them. They are so comfortable and the studs make them so fun! I wear them all the time so it's surprising I haven't shown them on the blog yet. Do you have any fun flats?

Tuesday's Cravings

During the spring and summer I go to 'Beach Music' every Thursday with my sister and my husband. It's an outdoor festival with bands, dancing, and drinks. It's a lot of fun and everybody always has on such cute outfits. Here are some items I'm currently craving to wear to beach music:

Braids Two Ways

Over the weekend I did two different braids on my sister's hair. The first one is a side fish tail braid and the second is a french braid with a pony tail. Here are the two hair styles:





You start out by twisting two sections of hair and securing them with two bobby pins.


Then you do a fish tail braid which can be a little tricky. You separate the hair into two sections. From the left section take a very small piece and place it over the top. Then from the right section take a very small piece of hair and place it over the top. You keep doing this until you get to the end then secure it with an elastic. 




This hair style is very simple if you know how to french braid. You take three pieces of hair from the top and braid them. When you continue braiding you keep grabbing extra hair each time you cross the hair over. Then you grab all the hair into a pony tail and secure it with an elastic.

Would you try these hair styles?

Tuesday's Cravings

Here are the items I'm currently craving this week! My favorite is definitely the belt. It's different than any belt I've seen before and it would look amazing with a pencil skirt or a dress. Which is your favorite and what are you currently craving?
