Newbella Shoes Try-On & Review (two pairs of slip on shoes)

No Comments

We’re having a bit of an extra-long summer where I live, which means my warmer weather clothing and shoes get an extended stay in my closet and more chances to be worn. I’m totally okay with it though, because I love slip on shoe and sandal season. I have two great pairs of slip-on shoes to share from Newbella (shoes were gifted, but all thoughts & reviews are my own).

This first pair is an open toe mule style sandal. They’re the MOUSSE FIT Women Knit Detail Chunky Mule Sandals. I’m wearing them in the yellow, which adds a fun pop of color to an otherwise neutral outfit. I had a hard time deciding between the green and the yellow– both colors are so fun! They’re soft and stretchy and the square toe is currently very on trend. They have a small block heel which makes them perfect to wear for all occasions–with dresses, skirts, jeans, or trousers!

The second pair of shoes I want to share are the MOUSSE FIT Women Knit Detail Flat Sandals. Again, they’re a comfortable slip on shoe and they’re made with a soft stretchy upper and a rubber sole. I chose the neutral apricot color, but again the green was a contender, and I also loved the look of the black. These are the PERFECT pair of shoes to slip on with any type of outfit. I paired them with jeans and a long duster cardigan, but they would look equally as cute with a dress or a skirt.

One Swimsuit and Two Ways to Coverup

No Comments

Tie strap details are such a great way to dress up an otherwise simple piece and they are EVERYWHERE this season– on jumpsuits, tank tops, dresses, and swimsuits! This tie strap one piece swimsuit is from Pinkblush and is such a cute one! It comes in several colors & has side AND tummy ruching, which is perfect for anyone who has carried a baby in their belly šŸ˜‰

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

In this blog post, I am sharing the swimsuit & two cover-up options– one casual and one more dressed up. This weekend only if you use the code MEMORIALDAY at checkout you can get 30% off (making this swimsuit $39)! Otherwise, use MARISSAELISE25 for 25% off.

As always, I will link everything I’m wearing at the bottom of the post using affiliate links. This means that if you choose to buy something using my links I will earn a small commission, at no additional cost to you. Thanks for your support!

As I said before, the side and tummy ruching make this swimsuit more flattering & I love the tie straps! Definitely want to double knot them, although the top stays up even without them! The swimsuit fits true to size.

These wide legged lounge pants are ribbed and super comfy. They’re a perfect weight to hang just right & I love the neutral color. The waistband is stretchy but the tie is just there for decoration, it isn’t functional. They fit true to size.

This floral dress is a cutie! It also comes in the same print in pink and taupe. I love the empire waist and that you can wear it with a regular bra! It’s super cute dressed up with heels as well. I would say it fits true to size, but if you’re smaller on top you could size down.

What do you think of the tie strap trend? In to it or nah? Which coverup is more your style– casual or dressed up? Let me know!

3 Neutral Dresses for Spring & Summer

No Comments

I know we’re not quite to spring or summer yet (at least not where I live!) but I’m already starting to think about shedding layers & wearing nothing but flowy & comfortable dresses during the warmer months. Although I love the look of a dress in the winter, it’s just not always practical where I live, so the other seasons is where I get to live my best dress life!

If you prefer video content, my reel styling these dresses is HERE.

I have collaborated with Pinkblush to share 3 neutral dresses that will be able to be mixed and matched all spring & summer long. You can use the code MARISSAELISE25 for 25% off your order from Pinkblush.

This first dress is a beige (but comes in 4 other colors!) linen & cotton dress. The sleeves and hem are fringe & it’s just so stinking cute & comfy! I love the shorter length (I washed & dried it and it fits my 5’1″ frame exactly how I was hoping it would!) & the fact that it has pockets. It looks so cute alone but would be equally as cute with a cardigan and booties!

This second dress is stunning. I’m wearing it in black, but it also comes in green & red. The tie straps are so cute & work great to customize the fit. The v neck & ruffle hem are such cute details. This dress would be perfect for a bachelorette party, wedding guest dress, or summer date night.

So right off the bat I have to admit– I’m wearing this dress backwards! I just loved the back button detail & thought it would be so cute turned around. The wooden buttons add cute character, as well as the tie straps. This dress also comes in a rust color that is beautiful as well. It’s so flowy & will be a great summer dress!

Which of these three dresses is your favorite? Do you love neutrals too, or do you go for bright colors? Let me know in the comments below!

His & Her Elevated Wardrobe Basics

No Comments

This post is in collaboration with Mott & Bow, but all thoughts and views are my own.

As I get older & really start to find out what my sense of style really is, I often just find myself reaching for what’s comfortable–some great basics that include a good pair of jeans & a simple & comfortable top.

Mott & Bow has so many great options that fit seamlessly into my wardrobe, starting with these mom jeans (I did cut mine because Iā€™m a shortie!) and this cashmere raglan crew sweater. They’re both SO comfy & mix & match with the other items in my closet so well. This is my first cashmere sweater & it is SO soft and I am looking forward to wearing it in almost every season!

Quick reminder: I will link everything I can at the bottom of the post, if it is unavailable I do my best to find similar options. I do use affiliate links which means if you order using these links I make a small commission at no additional cost to you. Thanks! šŸ™‚

My husband is also a jeans and simple top guy– as he was trying on his slim fit jeans, he was amazed at how remarkably comfortable they were and that they had the perfect amount of stretch. He’s worn them multiple times now & says they are his best fitting jeans and his favorite to wear. He also loves the feel of the cashmere crew bergen sweater. It’s a great piece for fall, winter & spring and so incredibly lightweight & soft to the touch. The black is classic & will go with everything!

Mott & Bow is a clothing company that started with denim but has expanded into jackets, sweaters, tops, sweats and accessories. Their mission is to bring high quality clothing to their customers at a reasonable price point & they have great options for elevating the basics in your wardrobe.
