Sephora is having 10-20% off depending on your beauty insider level. Make up rarely goes on sale so now is the time to stock up! I’m a drug store girl through and through but if you are going to splurge on a few make up or skin care items, these are my must have items that I can’t live without!

After getting several requests from you ladies on where to find straw bags under $50, I thought it was about time to share the good news. It is actually easier than you think to find an on trend bag on a budget. I have not tried any of these bags out myself yet but all of the ones that I found have amazing reviews (make sure you read them too!). This trend was around last year and I honestly don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon. So if you’ve had your eye on one but don’t want to fork out an arm and leg, here are some for all budgets!
It’s that time of the year to stock up on Spring trends and what better way than to score brand new items at 25% off? Sign me up! I’m talking popular designers like Free People, Madewell, Sam Edelman, Levi’s, Agolde, and so many more! The two retailers below are having 20-25% off right now and so I’ve rounded up some of my favorite items based on trends that I am currently loving.
4/6 – 4/15 | Up to 25% off + free shipping
4/10 – 4/14 | 20% off orders under $500, 25% off orders over $500 with code EVENT18
To get the best savings, you have to spend over $500. I highly suggest going in together with friends or family to reach that $500 mark. While that sounds like a lot to spend, there are several investment pieces in my own closet that I wish I had scored at 25% off. See below for the items from the sale that are already in my closet.
I use an affiliate program called rewardStyle. This means that if you click on any link- whether it be from my Instagram or blog- that takes you to a product page on a retailer’s site, rewardStyle is able to track that it originated from me. Some affiliate programs will pay the influencer for every click that they generate from their site. RewardStyle pays per purchase made. This means that if you click on one of my links and then end up purchasing that item, I will get a small commission (usually between 7-12%). Many bloggers use this same program as part of their revenue source.
Because I use rewardStyle I do have access to data analytics. This means I can track what items are clicked on and purchased. I cannot see who clicked on them or what other items might have been purchased. For example, if you click on my Abercrombie shorts link and then purchase a swimsuit and a top in the same transaction, I will only be able to see that a purchase was made and that the shorts link is how you got to the retailer’s site.
These analytics are incredibly important to me because it allows me to see what all of you are liking. At the end of the day, this little blog business of mine is meant to be a resource for all of you so having the ability to track and measure each product’s success is invaluable. Coming from a Finance background, I tend to geek out over the analytics side of it as I find it incredibly intriguing what all of you are liking, buying and clicking on the most! It gets my gears turning because I genuinely want to bring you products that you are going to love and want to buy (at the right price point of course)!
Like I mentioned, this little blog is a full time business for me which means I am so appreciative when you choose to click and shop through my links – whether that be on Instagram or the blog. I have poured everything I have into being a resource for all of you so that hopefully it makes your life a little bit easier. I know that shopping through my links is an extra step for you, but please know it makes all the difference to me. It is how I am able to continue sharing great deals, try on sessions, and everything else. O and it allows me to pay my bills 🙂 All of that is to say, shopping through my links does not cost you anything additional (the item is the same price), the retailer will just pay me a small cut since I am the one that referred you. Please know I am so thankful when you choose to shop through my links and give me credit for helping you score a great find!
These shorts were the top seller by a landslide. I own them in two washes: the medium wash (as pictured here) and the light wash (knock off for these $130 ones). I have the medium wash in a 24 and the light wash in a 25. I am normally a true 25. The tie front shirt was a close second for top sellers in March and runs true to size.
Striped Mini Skirt (size down, I’m in a 00)
Tie Front Romper (true to size but if in between sizes, size down)
Marc Fisher Wedge Sandal (run true to size, come in tons of colors, and are currently $50 off!)
Pom Pom Swimsuit ($25 dupe for this $160 one, I’m wearing a size 4) Thanks Britt for finding this steal!
Parrot Tank (runs true to size, I’m wearing a XSP)
Wrap Dress (huge trend this season! fits true to size + comes in several colors)
Black One Pieces: Left and Right // Both of these sold like hotcakes! Kylee’s swimsuit is just $35 and mine now comes in a full coverage option. If in between sizes, size up in both.
Straw Hat and Brown Sandals // Apparently y’all love hats as much as I do because y’all sold a ton in March! This hat is just $44 and offers the perfect amount of shade. The sandals are a knock off for the Hermes ones but these are just $15 + come in 4 colors! Make sure to size up as they do run small. They also offer a little bit of padding which I LOVE.
Overalls: Madewell | Shirt: Similar | Shoes: Sam Edelman

Overalls have come full circle as do most trends. My guess is that most of you probably haven’t worn them since you were under the age of 5 so the thought of rocking them now feels either childish or down right crazy. Just like I swore I’d never wear skinny jeans (spoiler alert: now that’s all I own), I swore the overall trend was definitely not for me. Here I am eating my words yet again because I’m officially head over heels for these overalls.
The Madewell overalls that I’m wearing are by far the most popular pair of overalls out there right now. They are a pretty penny but after trying out several pairs of lower priced options, none compared to the Madewell pair in terms of quality and fit. To be completely transparent I also only tried three other pairs- this Old Navy pair (runs true to size), this American Eagle pair (size up 2 sizes), and this Francesca’s pair (true to size). Don’t get me wrong, all are decent alternatives but after experiencing the Madewell ones there was just no turning back. So if you don’t want to even be tempted with the price tag, do not even try them on because you will inevitably buy them and question everything you once stood for.
What I love about these overalls is the amount of stretch, the high waist, large pockets and large bib structure in the back. You will find that a lot of overalls have more of a suspender look in the back which is not the most flattering and usually results in gaping. They do fit true to size (i’m wearing an XS) and have adjustable straps. If you want to try out this trend as well, I’ve rounded up my favorites at all price points!
