Look For Less: Tory Burch Miller Dupes

Hello fashion lovers! So as I am sure lots of you have noticed a hot trend in the Tory Burch Miller sandals. If so that means you probably also noticed their price tag of $200! Now, I am all for some high quality shoes, it's just not possible for everyone. Well I found this great dupe on Amazon for under $30! They're super similar to the Tory Burch sandals without trying to steal their logo or something along those lines.

They come in different colors and slightly different styles also! The pair I linked are super similar (and the same brand as mine) to the ones I ordered, but my exact ones were gone. Pierre Dumas actually makes a ton of similar sandals that you can find online and I am super pleased with my purchase. Also, they do need to be broken in, at first they're a little uncomfortable. However, after just a couple times of wearing them they're really comfortable!

I want to know if you guys have any other great dupes for clothing and accessories also?!

Sharing my Weekend Outfits

If you follow me on Instagram then you have seen these pics already. But I thought I would share them on here and give you guys all the little details too! Let me also say that it is extremely difficult to post a pic of yourself.. I think I need either better lighting or a bigger mirror so I can take them that way instead of selfie style haha! When my daughter is around she is the best little photographer, but she wasn't home for either of these pics..

This first pic was actually from Saturday night when we went out to the Cheesecake Factory for our anniversary dinner. It was a chilly day so I decided to wear this warm sweater from Anne Taylor over my dark gray dress that's actually from Victoria's Secret several years ago. The booties I have on are from Walmart actually. They're seriously some of my most comfortable and most worn shoes. I decided to wear some black leggings underneath my dress instead of tights due to it being so chilly on this night. Sometimes it's so hard to dress cute and warm at the same time.

The weather on this day was much more manageable for winter. My wine colored off the shoulder sweater I found at Marshall's (the brand is POOF) and can also be worn as a cowl neck. I prefer it off the shoulder though. My jeggings and my booties are both from Walmart. My favorite detail about the booties is actually the fringe on the sides. I am not sure if they still carry the shoes though, it's been over a year since I bought them.

For my jewelry details in both pics it's fairly simple. I always have on my wedding set which is a morganite with a diamond halo set in rose gold. My short dainty necklace is the aquamarine from Tiffany and Co., and the beaded bracelet with the heart, is also from Tiffany's. My longer necklace is an opal pendant that was an anniversary gift from my husband many many years ago. I am also wearing a an engraved silver bangle from I believe Hallmark (it was a gift) from many years ago, it's hidden by my sleeve though. I am also just wearing some cheap studs that matched my aquamarine necklace that I grabbed from my 7 year old daughter's collection and love them!

Styling Leopard Print for Spring & Summer

Remember the old saying, “History repeats itself.” Well the same can be said for fashion. For quite some time now the leopard print trend has been making its way back in to the hearts of fashionistas everywhere and now this fashion lover is finally on board too! I have to admit the first thing that came to mind when everyone started wearing this print again was a scene straight from Married With Children and Peggy Bundy! I have learned though.. that if worn a certain way, and not too extreme, it gives off a completely different, fun, and vibrant vibe. Here are a few simple ways to add some leopard print in to your spring wardrobe if you are a late leopard bloomer and haven’t already.                                             
Adding a pair of leopard print shoes is perhaps the best way to transition in this print. Whether you are dressing up your outfit with heels or keeping it simple with flats.

 I am sure you all recognize this beauty to the left, Jessie James Decker. She has been my biggest style influence for this style and I love the way she has the leopard maxi styled. If you aren’t ready for the full body print just start with a lightweight blouse instead. Both are super cute and perfect for spring or even fall as well. This lighter background print is great for a warmer weather look so I would even wear in to the summer nights too!


                     



Ok, so I know that spring isn't exactly warm weather for everyone and bikini season. However, for some it is. Or maybe you're heading to the beach for Spring Break. What better time then to grab a leopard print bathing suit. If you're a bikini lover you can even just go with a printed top and a plain pair of black bottoms for that pop of print.

There are literally so many ways to add in this print whether it be a pair of earrings or belt, or going all out with a maxi dress. There is definitely something to be said about a fun print and it can even be a little sexy if that's the look you're going for!

What I Wore to See Aquaman

Hey everyone.. happy Sunday! Today we took the kids to see Aquaman and it was so good! Aside from Landon getting sick half in to the movie.. we also had the theatre all to ourselves which was nice! I shared this pic on Instagram and promised some outfit details. My entire outfit was super cheap. I don’t know about you guys but I ALWAYS freeze in the theatre so I grabbed a cardigan just to keep warm since it was like 70 degrees outside today. The cardigan is actually already linked in my Winter Outfit post if you want details on it. I actually found mine at a thrift store though.

My pants are actually jeggings from Walmart and they were super inexpensive but are really comfortable and go with everything! My blouse I got from Rue21 last year and they have so many colors and patterns that look just like it.. I found a similar one to link for you guys! It's lightweight and airy so it's perfect for warmer weather days. The slip on shoes I am wearing are also from Walmart and I have them in several colors. They're incredibly comfortable since they're memory foam, and you can wear them without socks and they never hurt your feet. Definitely my most worn shoes all year long and they're so versatile. Hope this gave you all some inexpensive outfit inspiration.. Happy shopping everyone!

Gym Day Outfit Details

Last year I really started to enjoy working out at least a few times a week. I mainly just got in to doing some classes at my gym. Zumba has definitely become my favorite workout routine multiple times a week. This year though I wanted to get back in to doing some HIIT classes on top of Zumba, and I have even started incorporating some weight lifting too! I decided to share some workout clothing details because I truthfully have a decent amount of workout attire and I NEVER spend a lot on it. However, I do get lots on compliments on some of the things I wear, and people can not believe how cheap they were or where I found them. It may sound weird but I have found that if I feel cute in my workout clothes and confident, that motivates me to actually go to the gym.
 

I actually found my hoodie at Marshall's but I linked the one from the actual DKNY website. I only paid $16 for mine though. My Nike's I purchased forever ago at a Nike outlet store and I am petite so I bought them in the little boys so they were cheaper! Also, would you believe that I have found the majority of my workout pants, or maybe even all of them, at Walmart? They even have little hidden pockets.

Comfy and Casual Winter Outfit

Today we woke up to a light dusting outside and school cancelled. This was at about noon and everything was all gone and we were heading out to get some shopping done. It's still pretty chilly out today being around 24 degrees out so I made sure I wore a hat and my UGGS. Which by the way are probably my favorite pair of shoes even though a lot of people think they're ugly haha! They're for sure my most warn pair every winter and they are super warm and comfy. Definitely worth the splurge in my opinion. My cardigan I actually found at a thrift store about a year or 2 ago and it's my second most warn item in the fall and winter. I also want to add that my shirt is just a plain cotton t-shirt from Walmart.. it's super soft and comfy too!

Best of 2018

You always see the "Best Of" picture collages on instagram. Well I decided to incorporate that in to the blog world and do a quick little yearly recap from last year, all the way from January to December! 

To start of 2018 we had one decent snow day that I actually caught on camera!

Then come March we headed south to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for the kids Spring Break. I have an entire video series on youtube from this vacation, including a tour of our condo right on the beach!

We went to the Everglades while in Florida and the kids road an airboat, we watched a gator show, and they even held a real baby gator!

This trip was what Michael wanted for his birthday (BTW his actual birthday is in September each year, he just likes to wait and take vacations haha).. so we had his birthday dinner at the Rainforest Cafe.

 Next up in our year was the start of soccer season. Michael started his first year on the middle school team!

 Elizabeth celebrated her 7th birthday with a pool party!!

This was right before everyone got there. You wouldn't believe how many people ended up coming. There were literally like 60 guests that ended up coming! 

Elizabeth had her 3rd year dance recital. This year she is actually on a competitive team and has her first competition in March!

Landon turned 5 and had a Transformers birthday party with a huge inflatable water slide/bouncy house. It was literally HUGE!

We had lots of outside dinners at our old house!

Elizabeth finally learned how to swim by herself! (We knew she could.. she just finally wasn't afraid to now)

All the kids started school. Landon started Kindergarten, Elizabeth went to 2nd grade, and Michael went to 8th and turned FOURTEEN!

Then we moved the same week of Michael's birthday! (I have a full house tour up on my channel as well)

This guy also played soccer in 2018 in the fall. I took this picture after one of his games when we went to Buffalo Wild Wings!

 (which was coincidentally on Michael's actual birthday haha)

Then Christmas time game. So of course the kids got a yearly pic with Santa Claus. Minus Michael since he opted out of Santa pics haha! I guess I can't blame him at 14.

A week later we had some family Christmas pics made. I love love love the way they turned out.

The last thing to share with you all from our 2018 was Christmas Eve! I really slacked on the filming and videos of Christmas this year. Which of course I immediately regretted after I realized it.

I hope you all enjoyed looking back on our 2018. I had lots to share but here are at least the highlights from our year.

xoxo,
Lindsey
