Things I Love: May [Vacation Edition]

Left Najana black lulus.com Right Ted Baker Safia asos.com

Strappy sandals! I love all these barley there sandals this season. They are a nice change from all the heavier wedges and chunky heels that have been around. You can pair them with basically anything. I love them with boyfriend jeans, body-con skirt and crop top, and shorts with a blazer. But, you really cannot go wrong. A nude pair or a black pair are a pretty safe bet because you will be able to wear them with everything in your closet. This black pair shown is from Lulu's, check them out and use PSW20 to get 20% off of them till June 13th. The pair on the right are Ted Baker from asos.com so as always use your 10% student discount that you can sign up for here. 

Left Nancy by Melie Bianco Right Beach bag by H&M

Oversized bags with cutouts! These are so great for trips to the beach. They're big and spacious and the cutouts give them eye appeal. You get the usability of having it be a solid color while adding interesting detail with the pattern. For the bag on the left use code MAKEMOMSDAY (case sensitive) to get 40% off site wide here. The bag on the right is from H&M and is only $7.95 (its plastic talk about beach ready). The only downside to the H&M bag is it will really only be useful for local adventures no fun to pack a plastic bag.

Since I've been back and catching up with people somehow this has been getting brought up in tons of conversations. I am honestly amazed how many people have never heard of or are not signed up for this website. It's great you get discounts on tons of great brands like Levi's, ASOS, Karma Loop, and more. 

Basically it's a website for students, so even if your not technically a student you might still be able to sign up. I believe to verify all you have to do is long into your universities site. So even if you have graduated as long as you still have access to that you should good. 

Right now it's really great because usually you get 10% off at ASOS, but there running a special. So if you are not signed up get signed up TONIGHT because the 25% off is going on until tomorrow. 

WIW: Duster

It's finally MAY, I cannot believe how fast this year is going by. Since I have only been back for a few days I am half living out of a suitcase half living off stuff on the floor. My closet is completely chaotic so it has been about simplicity in my outfits since I have been back.








Right now my mind is fixated on jackets! Today I wore my ASOS Duster Coat  finally. I am absolutely obsessed with this jacket right now.

It so light weight an flowy and since I lightened my hair I have been venturing towards lighter colors and giving the harsher ones a break.

Side note: If your not signed up for Unidays click here and get on that. You could get this coat for 25% off today, and lots of other discounts too its great!

I spent the day at the mall with my niece so this outfit is just simple comfy easy. Paired the jacket with a cream H&M sweater, ASOS denim  (my favorite pair of jeans love the fit), and Steve Madden flats.


My accessories are simple (since most are still packed away) and include two different Juicy Couture necklaces many seasons past, Fossil watch I have had for ages and a Michael Kors bag (similar).

This jacket is starting to pop up everywhere,

Also one of my favorite bloggers wearing it here in warmer weather.


Looking forward to it warming up to pair this with skirts and heeled sandals, shorts and converse. The possibilities are endless.


Now this Minnesota weather needs to cheer up..  xo

Things I Love: April

Left H&M Coat  and right Coat with pockets Zara

First off, the color yellow I cannot get enough especially the soft pastel shade. Zara and H&M both have some great yellow jackets right now that I highly recommend checking them out. Its the time of the year where you need a transitional jacket so why not make it a color right? The good thing about yellow is it looks good on women with dark and light hair. My recommendation if you want to try this color, go in to the stores and check out a few different shades against your skin then head online for a wider selection.

Left side H&M Patterned Blouse right side Asos Check Pencil Skirt with Mesh Hem

Black and white check prints are just too good. I love everything about this print because you can create so many different looks with it. For someone who finds there style to be a little harder, more grunge, throw on a skirt or even a pant in this print (Asos does one just like the skirt) and pair it with a great leather jacket and bold pink lip and you are good to go. Or for the girl who is a little more girly chic you can pair these prints with all the pastels that are out this spring. Add a little baby pink into the mix and you instantly soften this print.

Left side 'Free 5.0 TR Fit 4' & left side Nike Air Max Thea

Trainers, sneakers, tennis shoes, whatever you call them this is one trend that I think all women around the globe are saying hallelujah too. One of the very few times fashion is practical. Especially in London women need a shoe that can be on the go, most aren't just driving up to the door and hoping out, they are in an out of tube stations. This trend is easy to fit into your wardrobe. Personally I love them with a skinny jean a basic top and a great coat! You instantly looking fabulous while being completely comfortable, perfect for the weekend.
