Now that the Fourth of July weekend is finally here, you are probably starting to think about what to wear to all of the outdoorsy events that you will be attending! There are always tons of events this weekend, whether it be a class reunion, a vacation, or a picnic with your family. For me, I have a huge extended family on my mom's side, so everyone is coming into town from all over the US (literally!). A few are even traveling from Canada. It is always so much fun having everyone together! That being said, this weekend I will be attending three to four events which all require different outfits. One event is more dressy, where the other three are more laid back! Finding the perfect outfit for the Fourth is always a challenge for me because I want to be patriotic without going overboard...does this happen to anyone else?!

On that note, I took the honor of putting together a little Fourth of July outfit inspiration for you all to hopefully make your outfit styling process an easier one! The first outfit that I chose is perfect for dressier events such as going out to a nice restaurant or to a more upscale party. I think that the nude wedges really pull the look together!

The second outfit board is actually my favorite one by far. First off, I am obsessed with my white skinny pants. They literally go with everything! Here I decided to pair them with a royal blue off the shoulder top (because who doesnt love either of those??? :) ), and it wouldn't be the perfect outfit without my favorite Kendra Scott earrings!

Lastly, I chose a very casual outfit that could be worn to a family picnic, to a parade, or to watch fireworks! Did I mention how in love I am with those gold lace up sandals?? They come in two other colors as well!

I really hope that everyone has a safe, fun, and fashionable holiday weekend!! Thank you so much for reading! xox

Watercolor Skirt...

Earrings: Kendra Scott // Jacket: Old Navy (old), similar here // Watercolor skirt: Red Dress Boutique (sold out), similar here and here // Wedges: Franco Sarto (old), similar here // Tank: Maurices

Happy Friday everyone! This week has seemed like the longest week ever..I think it is because I am getting antsy for my favorite holiday next weekend :) Each year for the 4th of July, all of my cousins come home and we always have the best time! All of us range from age eighteen to twenty four, so you can imagine how wild things can get! Plus, my family is verryyyy Italian, which adds so much more excitement! Being born into an Italian family is the best...there is never a dull moment!

I wanted to share this adorable watercolor skirt with you guys today, because it has been one of my favorite looks so far this summer! I wore this look a couple of weeks ago for my brother's senior mass at church. Believe it or not, I purchased this skirt way back in April, and it sat in my closet until the perfect opportunity to wear it came up. I love love love this skirt because there is a layer of tulle underneath (love!!!) which made the skirt look very full. I wanted to try to pull out the neon yellow from a few of the flowers in the skirt, so I paired it with my favorite style of tank top. It is just a basic tank top with thick straps, which makes it very flattering on anyone. Should I be embarrassed that I own it in fifteen different colors?? LOL!

One last note- I promise to get better about posting while my outfits are still in stock, so that you guys have access to purchase the items. Life has been super busy lately, but things should start to slow down soon so that I can focus on posting sooner and more frequently!

Thank you for reading!! xo

Summer Sandals!

I've always known that this blog post was a long time coming because let's be real...I LOVE summer shoes! It seems like every year I always have to buy new sandals for every occasion, and this year it was particularly wedge sandals! I love wearing wedges in the summer, period. Not only do I wear them to dressy events, but I will also wear them out to dinner, on vacation, even to the mall! So let's get started! Here are a few of my favorites that I have purchased for this summer. 

MIA Black Gem Wedge Sandal (sold out, but similar here)

So, about these gorgeous wedges. They became very popular last summer, and for some reason I just never purchased them. After browsing the internet for them a few months ago I ended up finding a few pairs in stock. Initially, I had thought that I wanted to purchase them in the color "Natural," and I was sad to find out that they were sold out of my size in that color literally EVERYWHERE. I did end up finding them in black, which to be honest was more practical for me because I wear so many black/grey/white tones. And they ended up being on sale! These wedges have become one of my favorites because 1. Anywhere I am there is also some sort of sparkle, and 2. Although they seem dressy, they can easily be dressed down with jeans or a simple sundress. 

Jessica Simpson Jadyn Wedge Sandals // also adorable here (in shade "Ambra")

I have been on the lookout for nude/tan wedges for the past month or so, because they simply go with everything. I have a few different summer-y events coming up very soon, so I thought that having a pair of neutral wedges would be perfect. And let me tell you my hunt for the perfect nude wedges lasted literally three months hah!! I am extremely picky when it comes to wedges for two reasons: comfort and style. When I pick them out, I usually never go with anything higher than a 5 in. heel because I do not trust myself in anything too high LOL. I initially had my heart set on this pair in the shade "Ambra," so I was very excited when I found them on sale at Nordstrom last week. But when I went to purchase them, they were sold out of my size and I was heartbroken! I have also had my eye on the Jadyn wedge for quite some time, so I purchased those instead. It has only been one week since I bought them and I have already worn them twice so they were definitely a great buy! I would recommend these shoes because they are easy to walk in and the twist style looks good with any outfit. And they come in black and brown as well!

Franco Sarto Brown Flat Sandals (could not find anywhere online) // similar pair here, love them in "Light Tan"

I came across these flat sandals at a TjMaxx store, and fell in love! I knew that I could not leave without buying them. They just seemed so versatile, and the color was gorgeous. Franco Sarto is also one of my favorite shoe designers, because all of his shoes seem so crisp! You would understand what I mean if you look at some of his designs online. They are simple, yet they can add so much to an outfit. Trust me, you'll be hooked! Anyway, I pretty much wear these ones all the time. They are perfect for running around, and they don't hurt your feet! I wore them galavanting around Atlanta last month, and my feet were comfy the entire time.

Sorry this was such a long winded post, but I just had to fill you all in about these awesome finds that I came across so far this summer. Let me know if you have any questions! I hope everyone has a good week :) Thank you so much for reading, xo.

Pixie Party...

Kendra Scott Earrings // Blouse-old, similar one here (plus, its ON SALE!!) 

Pixie Pants // Bangle Bracelets // Clutch-sold out, also love this one // Watch 

I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! I love Easter because it reminds me that warm weather is right around the corner, which also means sundresses everyday!!! I gave up sweets for Lent, and it has been so hard to get back to my normal meal routine after binging on chocolate all weekend, lol!

This year, I was contemplating whether I should wear a dress or pants for Easter because the temperature was only in the fifties. I decided to go with these super affordable pixie pants that I picked up at Old Navy last month because they can easily be dressed up, and the polka dot pattern is just so adorable! These pants come in TONS of different colors and patterns (I almost bought all of them haha). For me, these pants are perfect for my petite 5 ft 2 in frame because they hit right at my ankle, and there is no need to roll them at the bottom. 

I paired these lovely pants with a super bright blouse to add the perfect pop of color. Lastly, I added a nude lipstick with a sparkly pink lip gloss on top for the perfect nude lip.

If anyone has tried these pants and also loves them, I would love to know!

xo,

Alisa

P.S. The pixie pants are on major sale right now!!
