Valentine's Day Gifts For Her: 

Valentine's Day Gifts For Him: 

Black Sheer

Sheer tops are a huge trend right now and it's only going to get more popular as the weather warms up. Sometimes this trend can look really inappropriate if done wrong or just right with a bralette that covers more than it shows. Whatever you do, don't wear a nude bra. Wear something that's lacy, feminine and detailed. If you're not sure about this trend just yet, find a dark black or all lace sheer shirt, it appears less transparent and you still get the same look!

Unfortunately my top is sold out but I've linked a few below including my $30 heels! I paired this top with black jeans and black accessories. Ripped high waisted black jeans would also look great! 

Check out a few tops that I rounded up below and let me know if you like the trend! 

Smile Direct Club

Let me start off by saying I had braces for six years, yes SIX. After numerous orthodontist visits, days spent wearing a retainer and a gap somehow inching it's way back between my two front teeth, I was furious thinking about what it would cost to get rid of it again. When I came across an ad for Smile Direct Club on pinterest one day, I started to do some research and considered receiving aligners from them. After reading numerous reviews, I  decided to go for it!

I suggest going to the smile shop to get your smile scanned rather than order the at home impression kit (just my opinion). The impression kit seems easy but I tried to do it twice and the impressions of my teeth were not acceptable, that was just my experience though! While at the shop my teeth were scanned so that my aligners could be designed and I also received a free teeth whitening session for coming in. Well worth it to me!

FYI: There's a Smile Shop right in Philadelphia for those who live in the south jersey/philly area!

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103

After the scans of my teeth were processed, I received an email explaining exactly how my aligners would work. Smile Direct sends you a new set of retainers each month with instructions on how long to wear them. I was shocked when I was told my gap would be gone in just 4 months!

Each month, on time, I received my new set of retainers. The retainers are comfortable and no one ever noticed that I was even wearing them.

The process was extremely easy, and most importantly affordable ($99 a month).  I didn't have to spend thousands of dollars and wasted time in the dentist office month after month just to correct a smile my parents had already spent a fortune on. Now that my plan is complete, I wear my retainers only at night. I would recommend Smile Direct Club to anyone who wants to correct their smile at an affordable price!

If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them! Thanks for reading!

NYE Outfit Inspo

NYE is just 3 days away, what are your plans?! Or most importantly, what are you wearing?
I recently purchased this V-neck, wrap cami at Express and I love the flattering elements this top has to offer. The deep v neckline features a hook closure so you can style the top for day or night, and the back features a dainty criss cross style adding edge to this flirty piece. This top is extremely flattering and pairs well with leather leggings or jeans for a more casual look! I found that Express runs slightly bigger on me so I'm wearing an XS for reference.

Wether you're looking for something casual or using NYE as an excuse to dress up, I've put together a few looks for you to shop below!

Holiday Outfit Inspo

I can't believe Christmas is only 10 days away! Have you found your Christmas eve or Christmas day outfit yet? The holidays are pretty casual for me but when I came across this emerald crushed velvet dress I knew I had to get it! This pretty piece features feminine belle sleeves, and a fitted wrap top that flows into a flared skirt. This dress would flatter any body type and is true to size. If you already have your holiday outfit picked out, this could easily be dressed up even more for the perfect NYE outfit. I've linked similar outfits below and my exact shoes for you to shop. I hope this post gives you a little bit of inspiration, thanks for reading! 

Office Holiday Party Wear

If you haven't started already, It's time to start thinking about what to wear to your upcoming holiday office party. I know it's almost impossible to find outfits that aren't quite workwear yet appropriate enough to be around your co-workers. So today I decided to clear up the what-to-wear debate and rounded up a few cute yet professional options below!

I paired these festive red pants from express with this pretty belle sleeve top and a statement necklace to finish the look. My entire outfit is under $60 (in stores there are a ton of deals happening right now) from Express and fits true to size. The best part about this outfit is that you can stye it multiple ways, wearing it to other events or even your 9 to 5!

Cold Shoulder Sweater

Happy December! Now that it's starting to get even colder, you can never have too many cozy sweaters. Wether you're wearing it to work or throwing it on with a pair of jeans (or leggings) during the weekend, this knit is perfect to bundle up with. The cotton blend and crew neck fit keeps you warm while still letting you show a little skin courtesy of the shoulder cut-outs. This particular sweater is now sold out but i've linked plenty of alternative options below!
