Happy happy Friday, you lovely soul! I’m just over here shopping for swimsuits, gearing up for our annual trip to Lake Powell. Ok ok, and for our wedding…even thought it’s not until next year. I totally bought a white swim suit for our wedding next year in Jamaica. Hopefully my body stays the same size until then. This body is always changing. And then I found this purple and pink suit that I hope fits the same on me as it does on the model. Which it will not, but hey, think confidence and then ooze confidence, right? Right. Swimsuits are so hard to find this year, especially affordable ones. And ones that cover at least half your buttcheeks. I’m not into the high waisted or one piece suits either, so my choices are limited. Thankfully I found this one that only cost $46 for both the top and bottom. Now I’m ready to get my surf on in Powell!! Eeeeek I can’t wait.

Balls, I need to plan my outfits for book tour still. Are you going to come visit me?!

Ok, let’s get to outfits this week! This outfit was one I wore for a hot date night out with my parents to the new Avanti, to grab some Quiero Arepas. I bought these two tops back in April and they are still my favorite tops of the summer. So comfortable and light. They would be perfect with a pair of jean shorts!

I looooove this crop top. I posted an outfit wearing it last week but I just can’t get enough. The two layer look is just adorable! But the real show stopper here are the sparkly flats. They make me feel like MJ and Elton John and Dorothy all in one. Pointed flats have become my favorite outfit accessory. I just bought these light pink stud flats that are part of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and I LOVE them. Obsessed, purely obsessed.

Yayyyyyyy! We finally got our engagement photos done! We had to reschedule a while ago when I got that terrible stomach bug and it was pouring outside for 4 days straight. Thankfully this time the weather held up pretty well. We took pictures at our friends lake which was so incredibly stunning with the lake in the background and sun setting in the west. So romantic looking. The first outfit we took pictures in included this amazing hot pink maxi dress that has two slits in the front for a little sexy leg action. I love it SO much and usually don’t love long dresses because it gives me no shape. This one made me feel so feminine, I can’t wait to wear it again in Jamaica next year!

The second outfit includes a white dress I bought last year and really had to reason to wear it. YAY FOR A REASON! I’m pretty much obsessed with drop wait dress that flair at the bottom, I think they look so good on women. I’ve shown you this black and white drop waist dress and this hot pink drop waist dress and I’m so excited to wear this white one! Since it’s from last season, I’m giving you four to choose from below! I wish you knew how much self tanner I put on before this photo shoot. This dress needs a hose down now.

I bought this pearl embellished top for this photo shoot. I doubt I’ll ever wear it again, it’s a bit over the top. But I loved it for our last shots. It’s no longer for sale, but you can sign up so it notifies you when it comes back in stock!

    I need those sparkly loafers in my life – are they comfy?

    You look gorgeous in your engagement photos! I think you can wear the pearl crop top again with some great distressed denim jeans and toughen it up with a moto jacket for some cute booties which I know you have 🙂
