Happy 4th of July, Ladies! I hope this weekend is packed with lots of family, lots of friends, and lots of fun! We’re headed to the ranch again with several other families, and I’m looking forward to some time spent in the water and lots of great food.

1) long sleeve smocked blouse / This blouse is GORGEOUS and 50% OFF! I love the color, the floral pattern, and the beautiful smocking.
2) multicolor bracelet / Regularly $42, this bracelet is ONLY $16 right now! WOW! Wear it alone, stack it with different bracelets, or stack lots of the same bracelets on top of each other.
3) initial necklace / I wore this necklace again and again all month long (as seen in allll of the pictures below). Regularly $58, it’s ONLY $18 right now! Get yourself one and maybe even grab a couple as gifts.
This color, y’all. I mean, with a tan, this color is divine. It’s an empire waist with smocking across the back and sides. The pleated bodice is unique, and the tiny little pleats fall so pretty. It’s a gorgeous dress. YOU SERIOUSLY WON’T BELIEVE THE PRICE. Like it’s ridiculous. After reading the reviews, I knew to size down, so I’m wearing a small.

This striped tee has a great little cuffed sleeve and a relaxed fit. I love this navy stripe, but it also comes in 8 other solid colors. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

The bodice of this gorgeous dress is smocked, it has little flutter sleeves with scallop detailing and eyelet cut-outs, there’s a little pleated ruffle at the waist, and the eyelet detail is carried throughout the skirt. It is 100% cotton and lined. I’m in love with this vibrant hot orange color, but it also comes in plain white and it’s beautiful. The white one screams summer, and it could also be a great choice for a bride for a shower or luncheon. The top is very forgiving because of the smocking, so I was able to size down. I’m wearing a small.

I’ve got another shirt dress that works on me! The reviews are excellent (almost 250 reviews with the majority being 5 stars), and while it comes in 3 solid colors, I absolutely could not resist these pinstripes. The fabric is lightweight, but it’s not too thin. It’s substantial enough that it doesn’t require a slip. I feel like this is a dress that lots of y’all would love to have in your closets, and right now it’s on sale for right at $20. For size reference, I’m wearing a petite medium.

I’m completely smitten with this pointelle sweater. The site calls this color “green finch”, but I would definitely describe this sweater as a yellow and not a green. It’s 100% cotton, lightweight, breathable, and a fun look for summer! The pointelle pattern is sweet. It also comes in pink and white. For size reference, I wear a medium.
Click HERE for the self-tanner that I swear by. I love that it’s a mousse that goes on with a color, so you can see the application which is key! It applies very evenly, but if you miss a spot, you can immediately see that and correct it. And you can see that the color is a golden brown and not too orange at all.

I love a crisp cotton poplin dress. Always have, always will.
This mini swing dress is DARLING. It’s a navy background with a lilac flower pattern that is both playful and pretty. The dress is actually made to be off the shoulder, but I don’t love wearing dresses off the shoulder because I think that highlights my already broad shoulders. As you can see, you can definitely wear it on the shoulders as well, which is how I will be wearing it. However, when worn on the shoulder, it does make the dress shorter for sure so you will want to keep that in mind.
For size reference, I’m wearing a petite medium. The medium is pretty short on my 5’4″ frame (especially when worn ON the shoulder), and it definitely couldn’t be any shorter. If taller than 5’4″, you should probably get the regular instead of the medium.

This dress is adorable and looks much more expensive than it is. It is very well made, 100% cotton, and fully lined. It has a pretty square neckline, sleeves that have a tiny bit of flare and length, and a nice relaxed fit. At 5’4″, it’s a bit longer than I typically like a dress, but that’s great news for you taller ladies. I would definitely suggest sizing down in this one. I’m wearing a small, and it’s still plenty roomy through the thighs and hips. If I didn’t need the room in the chest, I might even be able to size down to the xs. I thought this Kelly green was so fresh and fun, but it also comes in white, black, and a red/orange.

Gosh I love a shirtdress. Sadly, they don’t usually work for me because they often pull across the chest, but not this one! In fact, I would say this one is oversized and you should consider sizing down. I’m wearing a medium here, but I will be exchanging it for a small.
It is quite short, so if you’re over 5’6″, you are probably going to need to pass on this dress. Wear it with sandals doing errands all over town, but you can also dress it up with wedges!

striped puff sleeve sweatshirt / white jeans / straw bag / multicolor initial necklace / raffia sandals / aviator sunglasses / twisted gold hoops / gold bracelet stack / lip gloss
This puff sleeve sweatshirt is lightweight, so I will still wear it even into summer. The cuffs and hem are banded, and the puff sleeves are adorable. It also comes in a solid white, green, and blue. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

You are probably going to find this hard to believe, but I think this is the first Lily Pulitzer dress I’ve ever tried. And the verdict is in: I LOVE IT. I’m not typically drawn to the Lily Pulitzer patterns, but I really like this solid option a lot.
It’s a puff sleeve linen dress and the color is GORGEOUS. It’s coral, but a deep and vibrant coral that is seriously stunning. You slip the dress over your head, and it has a great split neck and elbow length sleeves with a subtle puff. It’s a classy dress that I think will look great on lots of different body types. I’m wearing it with wedges here, but you could easily dress it up for a wedding with a nice pair of heels. For size reference, I’m wearing a 6.

Here’s another linen dress, but I would say that this one is more “orange sherbert” than coral. It’s got a more relaxed fit than the dress above, and I would say that it’s got more of a casual feel. The double flutter sleeves are adorable, it’s got pockets, and it has more of a relaxed and swingy fit than the dress above. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

4) bow blouse / Regularly $70, now ONLY $47. I’ve been loving all of the tie-front tops that I’ve been seeing all over social media, but most of them show a lot more skin than this, and that’s not my vibe. This linen blend tie front top is more modest because only the top tie shows skin. It is a boxy fit, but y’all know I happen to like a boxy fit. And the fluttery peplum hem is just my style. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.

5) straw tote / If you’re packing for a beach vacation, I love how this straw tote looks with this sundress. This is a really great bag for a trip, but it’s also great for everyday use. And it’s NOW ON SALE!

This adorable shirt dress is a cotton linen blend and has a teeny tiny striped pattern that is super cute. I’m loving the drop waist and tiny pleats on the skirt, and I think the overall style is just darling. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
shirt dress / straw tote / pearl drop earrings / heart toggle necklace / bangle bracelet / colorful beaded bracelet stack / clear wedges
This blouse is a linen blend with smocking, ruffles on the collar and sleeves, and a crochet trim. It’s pretty and feminine, and the color combo is unlike anything else in my closet. There’s another multicolor floral option that I don’t think was available when I purchased mine, but I really like it too! For size reference, I’m wearing a small, but I think I might prefer a more relaxed fit of a medium.
smocked blouse / ecru jeans / straw tote / pearl drop earrings / heart toggle necklace / bangle bracelet / barely there flip flops
Super feminine and a little preppy, this ruffle collar blouse is fabulous. The pinstripe is a nod to menswear, but everything else is all sorts of girly! I sized down to a small like the site suggested, but I actually think I would prefer the fit of my regular size (a medium). The small is a bit tight across the chest.

6) straight leg jeans / I love a great pair of straight leg jeans, and these are awesome. And they are 33% OFF right now! They’re from our favorite jean maker (Wit and Wisdom), so you can rest assured you’ll love them. These have fantastic reviews.
7) CR Tinted Illuminating Eye Cream / This was my personal #1 find for several months when it first came out, and it was in y’alls top 3 for several months. It’s truly an incredible product.
It makes my under-eye area appear brighter, more radiant, and more youthful. TRULY! The formula specifically targets common concerns of tired and dull eyes, such as under-eye darkness, fine lines, dryness, and puffiness.
Here’s what’s in it and what it does:
- Hyaluronic acid: helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
- Caffeine: targets puffiness and water retention.
- Pearlized pigments provide an instant brightening effect and create a radiant, glowing appearance.
- Peach coloring pigments neutralize blue undertones, helping to balance out skin tone and create a more even appearance.
- Peptites help smooth texture.
It’s really hard to capture how awesome the eye cream is in a picture, so you’re going to need to trust me. You can use it on its own on a fresh-faced day, but it also functions beautifully under makeup. I’m telling you, this eye cream is going to WOW you.
And just FYI: I don’t like concealer and never use it, but I think this eye cream not only does the job of an eye cream, but it also functions a bit like a concealer does. Here’s the difference though: it doesn’t settle into lines or crepiness (which is why I don’t like or wear concealer).
I obviously highly recommend this product. Like I said before, IT WILL WOW YOU. And right now it’s ON SALE.
8) CR Glycolic Acid Peel Pads / After cleansing my face, I use the peel pads. I’ve been using the Glycolic Acid Peel Pads for several years now, and I absolutely swear by them. After adding them to my weekly routine years ago, I’ve never looked back.
So, what are they? Remember the Stridex pads we all used as teenagers? Well, these are the new and much improved version! While the Stridex pads were salicylic acid and more of an acne treatment, the CR pads are glycolic and lactic acid, both used for cell turnover.
AND I NEED ALL THE HELP WITH CELL TURNOVER THAT I CAN GET. #turnoverthosecellsbaby
These pads boast a spa-strength treatment formula that helps to help dissolve skin-clogging dirt and debris. And listen to this… your skin’s natural renewal process will be enhanced as a result of the 10 percent blend of The Glycolic and Lactic Acids in the pads. The pads target fine lines, hyperpigmentation and imperfections and will reveal a fresher, brighter, more even complexion. YES, PLEASE!
They are large, so I sweep the pad all over my face, neck, and chest after cleansing. There are 60 pads per order, so the jar lasts me 2 months. (I used to use a pad every 3-4 days, but I bumped up to using them every other day…and now I use them every single day! I notice such a difference that I just want to always be using them.) They are going to kick start your cell turnover into high gear and reveal brighter skin!
9) ruffle sleeve floral blouse / Easy, breezy, and 40% OFF. I’m loving the ruffled collar and sleeves. If you aren’t in love with this floral, it also comes in 4 solid colors.
10) gauze blouse / This top is light, airy, breathable, and adorable! The split v-neck, the cute little collar, the flouncy sleeves, I love it all. And now it’s 40% OFF. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium.
These shorts are a lightweight linen with pull-on styling, so they are super comfortable. The perfect rise, the perfect elastic waist with a functional drawstring, and the perfect length. The link says they are a 4″ inseam, but they definitely seem longer on. They’re classy and casual, but they can easily be dressed up or down. I have super similar ones that are neutral that I love, so the navy seemed like a no brainer. For size reference, I’m wearing a medium for a relaxed fit.
floral gauze top / drawstring shorts / straw tote / turquoise earrings / heart toggle necklace / matte gold bracelet stack / colorful beaded bracelet stack / raffia sandals
11) hoop earrings / Simple, classic, and 43% OFF.
12) Sam Edelman sandals / I was so excited to see these on sale. They have a nice little platform, and I love a sandal that’s comfy AND can give me a little bit of height.
13) belted dress / This dress just went 50% OFF, making it an excellent buy! I think the color is beautiful, and it is 100% cotton and partially lined. I can think of lots of different occasions that this dress would be perfect for, and I think you could easily style it up or down.
14) Farm Rio dress / This dress is absolutely lovely. The sweetheart neck, the pretty floral pattern, the feminine tie straps, the smocked back… I love it all. This would be perfect for a beach vacation, but it would also be so great for a summer wedding…. or even just a regular ol’ summer day when you want to feel a little special. 😉
15) shift dress / Y’all know I love a shift dress. This is the shift dress of my dreams, and it is now on sale. It also comes in olive and ivory.
16) Farm Rio dress / Another Farm Rio dress, and this one is 50% OFF! This swingy bandana print dress slips on over your head and looks flowy and fun.
17) tiered dress / This sweet little dress is 100% cotton with frilly edges is now on sale. It also comes in a navy floral, a solid green, and a solid blue.
