I LOVE SUMMER! Anyone else?! But seriously, it’s 100% my favorite time of year.  I found the perfect and most comfortable dress to kick off the season on none other than...AMAZON!  Yes, Amazon has a ton of fashion picks and I always look there before anywhere else. 

This dress is non-maternity so I can wear it after the baby is here in a few months and it also is made from the softest material ever!  (No lies I’m all about comfort these days) 

Oh did I mention it’s only $20.99?! Yep...and comes in a bunch of colors, sizes, and other prints (I’m wearing a small).  I’m totally ordering more now that I’ve figured out what a steal it is!  My favorite Burberry sunglasses are also available on Amazon. I've had these for years and they haven't bent, scratched, and they are the perfect aviator style.  Shop the sunnies HERE!

You can shop my DRESS directly by clicking on the Amazon "Shop Now" button below!

 

Monochrome Monday

Happy Monday everyone! There is nothing like a great monochrome outfit to kick off the week, especially when you can put it together for under $100.  Shop all of the outfit details below!

BCBG Generation Short Sleeve Ruffle Dress - I love this dress because of its versatility!  It comes in a few colors and its so comfortable.  It's also non-maternity and could be worn throughout the year with leggings in the colder months.  It's also under $100! I'm wearing a size XS.

Slide on Sneakers in Blush - Okay slide on sneaks are my go-to all year round.  You can pair them with just about any and everything and I've been building my collection (but you can never have enough).  These are from GAP and while they are sold out of the pink, you can shop them here in white! I've linked a similar option on Amazon Fashion above, available in the blush color and a TON of other colors. 

Hope you all have a great week!!

Rose Gold Beach Cover Up

Happy Saturday! We spent our day at Jacob Riis Park beach which is my favorite beach spot in NY.  It’s on the actual ocean which is what I need to feel like I’m truly beachin’ it.  Right before we left I found the cutest beach cover up in my closet that I totally forgot I bought from Mura Boutique...pretty sure it was lost in our move for the past 6 months.  Anyways, I’ve linked some similar styles below because I don’t think this one is available anymore!

AvidLove Sheer Knit Cover Up - This is a very similar style and really affordable too! 

Side Split Crochet Cover Up - I think this is my favorite of all the similar options.  I LOVE the fringe at the bottom too!

Forever 21 Open-Knit Cover Up - This is another great option from Forever 21!

HAPPY BEACH DAYS!!

Shorts, Sofrito, and Virgin Mojitos!

Anyone else love ethnic food spots?? I'm always on the hunt for a good place that doesn't require me traveling to a tropical island (although I'd much prefer that).  Unfortunately at 30 weeks pregnant you can't do much of anything anymore, including flying, so we took to our neighborhoods to find some great eats and we weren't left disappointed!

Not going to lie, I'm finding it hard to fit into most of my clothes lately and will probably be resorting exclusively to dresses in the next few weeks, but this entire outfit is non-maternity and was still so comfortable! Which means it's also the perfect go-to when you want to binge eat and drink...and not need to unbutton your jeans! I've linked the look below!

BGBGeneration Black/White Utility Shorts - These might be the world's most versatile shorts! I'm wearing a size XS and was easily able to fold them down for comfort, but you can also wear them as a hi-waisted option and they are so cute.  They are sold out virtually EVERYWHERE (that's saying something) but I finally found them HERE and for half off! 

Forever 21 Knit Off the Shoulder Top - Unfortunately this one is sold out...I'll keep trying to find it because its so lightweight and comfortable (also has a really cute open back).  But I'm linking a few other similar styles.  Here is one style I LOVE and under $20! And another....this one is so Boho Chic and only $15.99!

Shoes - Obviously my Sole Society GO-TO heels for the summer...being comfortable is such a struggle and I'm always linking these because my feet never hurt and I also don't feel like I'm going to lose my balance carrying around this basketball!

Handbag - Ah I just LOVE this bag and totally forgot I had it...its amazing what cleaning out your closet can do.  I got this gem in Athens, Greece on our honeymoon so unfortunately I cannot link it, but I totally love it.  In honor of the beloved Kate Spade - here is a great similar option.

Now let's talk about the FOOD!

We found a really great Puerto Rican spot - Sofrito!

What we ordered:

Empanadas - We chose one chicken and one beef..both were DELICIOUS and the dough was so flaky and good.  You can tell it is made from scratch and it reminded me of the ones we got on the street in Puerto Rico last time we visited!

Paella - I am a sucker for a good Paella and the Sofrito Paella didn't disappoint.  It had LOBSTER, CHICKEN, CHORIZO, CLAMS, MUSSELS, CALAMARI, SHRIMPS AND SAFFRON RICE and we split it because it was huge!

Tres Leches - Oh. My. God. This was SOOOO SOOOO good. It was a perfect balance of the light cake and whipped topping paired with that creamy, delicious cinnamon infused milk.  You just need to go try it. Period. 

 

And to top it all off, they have some amazing cocktails....at least from what I could see!  They were sweet enough to play along and make me a Virgin Strawberry Mojito but it was actually really delicious and I would totally order again.  Mojitos are my favorite drink of the summer! 

Thanks Sofrito for another great night out in Westchester!

And thank YOU for stopping by!

SHOP ALL OF THE STYLES BELOW!

Olive Green Ruffle Triangle Bikini - Top only $15.99 & find matching bottoms too! (I featured this suit earlier this week on the BLOG)

Pink Velvet String Mini Bikini - Top is $16.99 and Bottoms only $10.99! I have this suit and not going to lie, I was on the fence when I ordered it because I feel like it could go either way with being cute or just too much....SO GLAD I ORDERED IT, its so cute and unique.  Definitely order a size up in both the top and bottoms (maybe 2 sizes up in the top).

Ribbed Lace Up Bikini (in Rustic Red) - Top is $21.99 and Bottoms are $12.99. This one comes in several colors and the ribbed material is a little thicker than your normal bathing suit material so it provides some extra piece of mind with coverage when you get it wet (no see through swimmie here)!

Ruffle Deep-V One Piece - Comes in a few colors and prints, the purple color is $24.99! I think I may order the print featured above...I'm not really into one pieces but being almost 8 months pregnant, I think I'm going to try it out! I'll let you girls know how it works out (fingers crossed)!

Bandeau Bikini in Teal Floral - I LOVE this print! It's so fun and perfect for summer. Top is on sale for $12.99 and Bottoms are only $12.99 too! This also comes in a ton of fun prints for the summer that you can mix and match along with the other suits on their site. 

Velvet Strappy High Neck Bikini - Top is $12.99 and Bottoms are also $12.99. I find with these halter style tops that you definitely want at least a size up because they tend to rise up a bit more than a traditional triangle top.

 

Thanks for stopping by!
