What to Wear to: A Beyoncé Concert

Last week I was surprised with last minute tickets to the Beyoncé concert in Raleigh and it was the best night! My fiancé knows how much I love her so he got some tickets the day of the concert and then I decided to get one for my little sister since it was her birthday. I had seen Beyoncé once before about 6 years ago and that night was honestly one of my most favorite nights! I've been a huge fan ever since the Destiny's Child days and each time I see her, I am reminded of how freaking amazing she is. Since her tour just started not too long ago, I wanted to share some tips on what to wear incase any of y'all have plans to see her this summer! 

Ruffle Bikini + NSale Accessories

Dark Ruffle Detail Bikini Top || Dark Hipster Bikini Bottom || Floppy Hat || Monogrammed Jute Tote c/o Monograms, Markings & More 

I was browsing through the internet the other day and I stumbled upon this dark ruffle bikini that I actually had bought last summer. I couldn't believe it was still available online in all sizes so I wanted to share with y'all one of my all time favorite swimsuits.  It's definitely a style from last year which makes it even better because it is about half the price I got it for last summer. I love how the bottoms provide family-friendly butt coverage and I don't even think the top needs an explanation.  It's just so darn cute.

Another favorite that is back in stock - this shift dress for only $29 is back and available in both teal and coral for those hot summer work days or even church.  It's definitely my #1 favorite thing to wear to work.

Don't y'all forget about the Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale going on right now.  Starting on Friday, it'll be open to everyone! But if you have a Nordstrom debit/credit card, you can go ahead and scoop up your faves. My favorite pair of boots already sold out in my size but today I'm sharing some top accessories on sale.

Incase you haven't heard, Nordstrom started their HUGE half-yearly sale yesterday so I rounded up some of my favorites above.  Everything above is between 25-40% off and rarely on sale.  I've been in need of a new watch and wallet lately and the ones I've listed here are my top favorite options.  Also, Kendra Scott jewelry on sale?! I would love to know what your favorites are! My favorite floral peplum top on instagram is still only $16 and available in all sizes.

Is It Spring Yet?

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 

I keep thinking spring is just around the corner but then I look at the weather forecast and am proved SO wrong.  This upcoming week in NC is going to be a chilly and icy one (...sorry if you're from the Northeast but we're not totally used to it).  To make the cold a little more bearable, I tend to think about the warmer days ahead. This spring/summer is going to be the busiest yet but I am very much looking forward to it. One thing I really enjoy looking at way ahead of seasons is a good handbag collection.  I love looking to see what colors will be in style even though it may be months away.  I've compiled some of my favorite ones above and all of these can be found at Nordstrom.  I am also loving this blush color I seem to be seeing everywhere.   What do you think about it?

XOX,
Shelby

I am SO ready for Thanksgiving this week and can't believe the year is almost over. I'm starting to get in the holiday spirit and have been making lists of what I can get people for Christmas. I put together a list of ideas for the ladies in your life- your mom, sister, bestie, etc. My entire family besides my dad is a girl, so, I could use endless gift ideas around this time of year. FYI I finally learned how to label these photos with numbers, thank ya Jesus. And thanks to the girls I met in the Social Media with Style Workshop by Lauren aka my mom in the blog world. She is amazing, teaches you how to analyze everything about social media and if you're new to social media marketing and/or blogging, I would definitely recommend her workshops. Anyways, I really need to start thinking about what to bring to my parents' house on Thanksgiving... what are some of your favorite Thanksgiving recipes?

Get this look for WAY less!

It has been far too long since I've walked into Vestique and I feel like I hit the jackpot on my trip there today. I immediately fell in love with this cobalt ruffle off-the-shoulder dress that I had seen recently at Revolve Clothing for almost $100 more! I couldn't believe how identical these two dresses were, yet so different in cost! Not to mention, Vestique's accessories are on point right now, such as this "Fringe Benefits Necklace" which is only $21.50.  I put together a "look for less" below where you can see a very similar outfit with some not so similar prices (over $500 difference).   I've linked all the items below the picture for you to shop!
