3 Adorable Spring and Summer Finds from Pinkblush

No Comments

I’m back with more adorable finds for spring & summer from Pinkblush! I found out about Pinkblush when I was pregnant and looking for maternity options, and I have continued to love their items for postpartum & just for fashion in general.
They have the CUTEST dresses & in this post I’m also sharing a pair of pants and some overalls.

These raw hem linen pants are sooooo good! They come in a couple other colors (I’m also loving the green!) and have pockets. I paired them with this cute white top from amazon. Highly recommend it– comes in lots of other colors & is just so pretty. I also added my rattan crossbody bag & some heels to dress it up.

I’ve been looking for a cute pair of overalls & these are perfect! The filter makes them look green but they are, in fact, a dark grey. They also come in multiple other colors. I paired them with comfy slide sandals, a plain white tee, & the belt bag my husband bought me on our babymoon in Cape May, NJ. I’m looking forward to wearing these comfy overalls so many other ways!

This dress is just a dream! The weight of it is perfect so it hangs & flows so nicely. I love the smocked top & the ruffle hem. Gold is one of my favorite colors & this particular hue is perfect for summer & fall alike–just add a jean jacket! It also comes in black.

4 Casual Ways to Wear a White 100% Cotton Button Up Top (2 for spring, 2 for summer)

No Comments

A white button up top is a classic item to have in your wardrobe & I realized I was missing one in mine! I found this $20 white linen-like button down from Target & it’s so soft and a lightweight gauzy material.


It is the perfect lightweight layer or top for spring & summer. Last year I ordered it in the yellow/brown color & I wore it often, so I knew I had to get the white option this year! I ordered the xs and it fits perfectly for an oversized fit.

I put together 4 simple ways to wear this white cotton button up. The first two looks work well for spring & the second two are better suited for summer.

If you prefer video content, check out the reel HERE!

As always, I will link everything (or similar options if item is older/sold out) via Liketoknow.it at the bottom of the post. I use affiliate links which means I earn a small commission if you purchase something using my links, and it is no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support– it means the world! 🙂

This first look is more for early spring– I find myself wanting to dress in lighter colors and layers but it’s still slightly chilly. This top (possibly with a white tank layered under for extra warmth!), my levi jeans, and my cream Vivaia flats are a perfect casual look!

This second look is monochromatic. I am LOVING monochromatic looks lately. They elevate an entire look, & add my cream Vivaia heels & you’ve got a comfy but great outfit!

This third look is geared towards summer. I love linen shorts for summer. They’re so comfy and feel like wearing pjs! This pair is so versatile due to it’s color & they’re only $15 at Target! I added some sparkly sandals, but any sandals would work great as well (I just ordered this pair & I’ll definitely be wearing them with this outfit)! I left my cotton button down open with a white tank underneath for a more casual feel.

What is a more classic summer look than cutoff shorts & a white top?! I love these Levi 501 shorts (I have them in 2 washes now!) I’d also definitely add a white tank & wear the cotton button down open like I did in the previous look.

How to Style Sock Booties (Sustainable brand Vivaia Shoes Review)

No Comments

Vivaia is a brand that reached out to me about trying their sustainably made shoes. After researching them & finding out more about their company, I decided to give them a try! All views are my own and the shoes were gifted to me by Vivaia.

If you prefer video content, check out my fun reel HERE!

The number one great thing I was excited to learn about Vivaia is that their shoes are made with recycled plastic water bottles & ethically sourced wool (even the packaging that they send the shoes in is 100% recycled materials!). I was SO impressed with that fact, & even more so when I received the shoes & they were incredibly comfortable! A good portion of their shoes are even made to be machine washable which is also so convenient (unfortunately this pair is not because of the heel).

I chose the Zoe wool round-toe boots in my regular size (you just use their size chart to convert your US size to your EU size) and the color tan russet. It’s a beautiful brownish grey & it’s the perfect color that goes with just about anything (this pair is on sale right now for $83 and my code ma18 can get you an extra 18% off!).

Viviaia has a ton of shoe options on their site– boots, mules, loafers, flats, heels, sneakers, etc, and they also carry men’s shoes. Vivaia is considered a competitor of Rothys’ shoes, which I can’t speak to or review because I don’t own a pair, but they both are made for comfort & out of recycled materials. If you are interested in trying a pair of sustainably made shoes, Vivaia’s shoes start around $99, which is more affordable than Rothys are. They also seem to have more style options than Rothys.

All in all, I would definitely recommend Vivaia shoes to anyone looking for style, comfort, & sustainability. I’m looking forward to contining to wear and style my Zoe sock boots and to continue to support this brand!

I have styled these extremely versatile boots 3 different ways below. Most of my outfits are older pieces, but I will link similar options to what I’m wearing if you want to try to recreate look. I use affiliate links which means I earn a small commission if you purchase anything using my link, and it will be no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support! 🙂

Look number 1: A mockneck, cardigan & straight leg jeans.
This look is casual & comfy. I LOVE that these sock boots tuck perfectly into straight leg jeans. Makes them look so chic.

Look number 2: A mini boho dress.
The color of these boots pairs perfectly with black & I love that the taller shaft adds interest to an otherwise simple dress look.

Look number 3: A flowy top & skinny jeans.
The shaft of these boots is tight enough that they pair so well with skinny jeans too! Love that! Dress it up with a flowy blouse & you’ve got yourself a cute night out look.

3 Ways to Layer a Striped Top in the Winter

No Comments

A striped top is a must in any wardrobe. It is a great layering piece that adds interest no matter the season– a striped tank in the summer, a tee in the spring, and a long sleeve in the fall & winter.
I think the most versatile colors are black (or dark navy!) and white but you could choose whatever colors go best with your wardrobe. I picked up this one at Walmart & it is all sold out at this point, but I will link similar options as a striped long sleeve top is fairly easy to find.

I will be layering this striped top three different ways but keeping the base the same–striped top, straight leg jeans, & sock booties.

This first look is certainly “on-trend”–layering using a shirt jacket, or shacket, as the kids are calling them these days. I really love the shacket trend because I live in Northern NY where it is COLD, so an extra warm layer that is also cute works great! This one is from Amazon and has been one of my favorite shackets to style all winter long!

This second look has a crew neck sweatshirt layered over the striped top. It’s comfy, it’s cute, it’s casual. What more could you want? This cute one from amazon has a tulip hem (easier to see when I link it below) & is a great color.

The third look is a classic–a cardigan and stripes is a tale as old as time. I love a good cardigan outfit & even better if it’s neutral tones. Mine is old, but I linked a bunch of tan/taupe options below.

Which look is your favorite?
Do you like to layer or is it too bulky for you?
