Memorial Day may have just passed, but that doesn’t mean you can’t sport your red, white, and blue all summer long. We don’t know about you all, but we like to get good use out of our clothing, and not just wear something one time! This red, white, and blue striped suit from Boden is great for all the patriotic holidays, BUT, it is also equally cute for any summer pool day!
It has body sculpting lining that keeps everything in place, and it also had padded cups for extra support and lift! We also love that it is a halter-neck, so it gives you a lift, and it is very flattering on your shoulders. We are wearing size 2 in this piece. It also comes in a lot of other colors and prints, if red, white, and blue isn’t your thing!
So easy to dress these up or down. You can wear these with other pieces in your closet like a white dress or some white jeans and a cute tank or denim jacket. We have size 37 in these, but they do run a little small.
For a good beach or pool day, you need a floppy hat to keep that sun out of your eyes, and keep that hair looking fresh! This hat is floppy and oversized, but in a great way. We love how it has the pop of blue at the top!
To take this look from pool or beach to out and about, we love this embroidered tunic! This one can be worn as a coverup, or just as a dress! It is not strict red, white, and blue, so although it is patriotic colors, you can definitely wear it all summer long!
We found all of these cute pieces for summer from Boden. They have so many adorable things for everyone in your family, including men and children!
**They are offering25% off plus free shipping and returns with code: V9H9.**
We can’t wait to show you all how we style all of these different pieces all summer long!
We have been getting so many requests to share some white dresses for bridal showers and events. We rounded up some of our favorite jumpsuits, maxi dresses, and other dresses for you all! Most of these are under $100 and can be worn for other occasions, too!
Some of our favorites this lace dress #1 that is SO affordable and on Amazon. We also love the length and lace on #2.
#7 is a great dress that also comes in so many colors and is on sale right now! #12 is a great jumpsuit and comes in other colors, too!
With summer travels in full swing right now, we have been getting a lot of questions and requests to share some of our go-to shoes that you can walk all over Europe in without getting blisters, or just wear all summer long! Some of these shoes we have had for years, and we swear by them to walk in for days.
We initially got this pair of sandals when we were in college years ago, and have been wearing them ever since. Even our mom has them in a few colors! Not only are they flattering, and match everything in your closet, but they are seriously SO SO comfortable. No blisters, and super padded.
You can also adjust the back for a looser or tighter fit! We have a size 7 in these in the “almond” color. We recommend sizing up a half size in these.
#2 TORY BURCH MILLER SANDAL
Y’all already know that we LOVE these sandals. If you decide to get any pair of shoes, it should be these! This is our third pair, and we are so obsessed with this color. We wear these at least every other day, so they are so worth the price!
We have these in a size 7 in the “sea shell pink” color.
We can’t stay away from leopard, and we love how unique these sandals are with the straps and the separated toe ring. This brand is always comfortable and they will look cute with white jeans, dresses, and rompers.
We got a size 6.5 in these in the “leopard calf hair” color.
Another leopard pair that we had to try! These are also Sam Edelman, so you know they will be super padded. We love the beading on these, and they come in 3 other color options, but this one is our favorite because they match everything from blacks to browns!
We are wearing size 6.5 in these in the “Natural Multi Fabric” color. They do run a little wide, for reference!
Can you tell we love all things Sam Edelman?! This pair is SO cute! We love our bedazzled shoes!
This pair is also super padded and come in a non-jeweled version! We got a size 7 in these in the “Classic Nude Nappa Leather” color. We did hear and read that the stones may fall out, so just an FYI 🙂
We had been looking for a slide sandal that was comfortable and something different than leopard. This pair is snakeskin, and SO fun! They come in a few other color options as well, and thy are really padded.
We are wearing a size 7 in the “Natural Snake Faux Leather” color. These run a little small, so we recommend sizing up a half size.
Probably another one that we have been wearing at least every week! Again, these sandals are very padded, so comfortable, and match everything. They also come in a ton of other colors. You just can’t beat them. The straps do stretch out a little bit as you wear them, so keep that in mind!
Last but not least: the best platform sandals you will ever wear! We were SHOCKED at how comfortable these are. The straps stretch out, and the bottom padding almost molds to your feet. HIGHLY recommend! And, they give you just enough heel height.
We are wearing a size 7 in the “Blush” color.
We found all of these sandals and shoes from Nordstrom. We love shopping there for shoes especially because we love the convenience of being able to order our favorite shoes and pick them up without even leaving our car the same day! Such a game changer, but also makes us feel so lazy 😉
Most of you that follow us on Instagram probably have been seeing us sharing quotes, a lot about meditation, self love, and all that great stuff! We have been listening to some TED talks, good podcasts, and just reading some inspirational books that are all about being your best self, having positive self talk, and more.
We had talked about all of this in our most recent podcast episode, An Extra Dose, and wanted to share some of the books we have been reading, and some that were suggested to us, in case you want to read some of them!
Before we share some the books, we wanted to talk about this outfit first! These black strappy wedges are so comfy and also come in a neutral color.
We have a size 6.5 in them, and we were so surprised at how comfortable these are! We have been wearing these so much, and love how the heel height is perfect with black shorts like these, or with a dress, too!
We paired this outfit with one of our staple straw bags right now from Sole Society! It is legit the best kind of bag to carry for summer because it is a fun, round shape, and it goes with everything! Plus, it adds a fun pop to any look. It also comes in a gold/neutral color, which we scooped up, too!
We also got these super affordable mirrored sunglasses from Sole Society that we have been LOVING. They are really lightweight, and we love the amber/gold colors in them. The shape is really flattering on any face shape, and they just add a golden pop!
We love all of Sole Society’s affordable accessories for summer! We will definitely be bringing all of these on our upcoming trip.
As far as books go, here are some that have been suggested to us:
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life — we read this one last year, and loved it a lot! Such a good read, but beware, a lot of cussing, hah!
In case you missed our last episode of An Extra Dose, you can listen to that here!
A little about this episode:
On this episode of An Extra Dose Podcast, Samantha and Alexis are chatting about their personal experiences with rejection. They are sharing why it affects us so much and how to turn it into a positive. They are also talking about why numbers and ratings play so much into our daily lives. On the wellness topic, the girls share tips on bloating and how digestion plays a huge role in overall health. Their favorites include subscription boxes that anyone will love!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend, aka official start of SUMMER! This is our favorite time of year, and we couldn’t be more excited! There are so many good sales going on this weekend, so we wanted to share some of our favorites with you all!
