April Top Ten

**CLICK AN IMAGE TO SHOP THE ITEM DIRECTLY**

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!

Now presenting… April Top Ten!

This little dress won by a landslide! It comes in 3 colors (yellow, white and black) and is just $70! I would suggest sizing up if in between sizes as it does run on the smaller side! The yellow is perfect for any Spring weddings, the black would be great for a bachelorette party or date night, and the white would work for any of my brides!

A very close second are my favorite distressed overalls. I’m so glad you ladies are loving overalls just as much as I am! These run true to size (I’m wearing an XS) + come in 4 colors. My favorite way to wear them is with the high neck tank that placed third in the April top ten!

It’s no surprise this tank made the top 3 purchases because I personally own it in 5 colors and wear it most days of the week.I usually knot it or tuck it in to a pair of jeans but it also looks cute with a neckerchief or under overalls!

These Abercrombie harper shorts have been in the monthly top ten two months in a row now! Y’all are loving this style in every wash! I am wearing the light wash and Kylee is wearing the ripped white. They run true to size (I’m wearing a 25). The Gucci belt dupe that you ladies all know and love is finally back in stock in both the small and large sizes and also one of this month’s top sellers.

These jeans are a long time favorite and got pushed to the top ten this month thanks to them being on sale multiple times. They run true to size and get better with wear. I have owned mine for almost 2 years now!

These matte black star leggings are a $23 dupe for this $185 dollar pair. Every time I wear them I get SO many compliments. They run true to size (wearing an XS).

My wedges come in 5 colors + are under $80! Make sure to size up a half size.

These $52 pants are perfect for work or play! They do run on the bigger side so size down if in between sizes.

A fun and flirty little bodycon dress. Make sure to size up!

April Top Ten

In the top ten two months in a row! This bathing suit is a $25 dupe for this $200+ one. I am wearing a size 4.

Treat Yo Self Gift Basket Ideas

one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine | ten | eleven | twelve

No matter what age you are, every gal likes to be pampered! And for some reason it’s usually the last thing we spend money on which is why these types of gifts are always appreciated so much! I’ve given some variation of a “Treat Yo Self” gift basket to pretty much every friend and family member over the years and the response is always the same- LOVE LOVE LOVE!

The best part is that you can customize the gift basket to fit your giftee. If you know they love bubble baths, give them a bath tray, bath bombs, and a candle. If they aren’t a fan of baths, customize a mask basket complete with masks for the face, lips and under eyes – aka the works. If they are a homebody, give them a cute pajama set, slippers and throw blanket because lord knows the majority of us will wear an old college shirt before dropping money on a new set of cozies. Do they like game nights? Give them a fun game, a bottle of wine and cute wine glass. Speaking of wine, literally every “Treat Yo Self” gift basket is instantly made 100X better simply by adding your giftee’s favorite bottle of wine or bubbly.

So even if you are last minute, this easy gift basket idea will look like you put plenty of thought and time into hand picking each component – talk about a win win! All of these items can be found on Amazon Prime (2 day shipping), Target (order online and pick up at the front counter), or Nordstrom (order online and pick up at the front counter).

Crushing on Yellow

one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine | ten | eleven | twelve

Although the official Pantone color of the year is technically purple, yellow is in full force in just about every store you see. I didn’t even realize how much I was drawn to this color until a recent online order showed up and i’m not kidding when I say the entire box was yellow! I was determined I couldn’t pull off this particular color, but you’d be surprised what a little bit of self tanner does for a yellow outfit and frankly for the soul as well 😉 This is the self tanner I’ve been using and loving so far! I get the dark shade, apply it with a mitt, sleep with it on, and wash it off in the morning!

If you aren’t convinced that you can rock yellow quite yet, adding in a little color with your accessories is a good place to start. Especially if you are a neutral girl, these earrings or cute espadrilles (true to size) would instantly take your muted outfit to Spring time cutie! See below for more accessories and yellow crushes.
