Pleated Skirt

If you regularly follow this blog I'm sure you have noticed my obsession with anything high-low. A few months ago I started seeing pleated skirts everywhere and I decided, I simply must have one. I saw this bright skirt at American Eagle on sale and I just couldn't pass it up. I love everything about it, high-low, pleated, bright and patterned, plus it's super comfortable, perfect for summer.

Target Find

I ran into Target last week just to pick up a few essentials. I'm not sure why I always assume I can run into Target, get what I need and then get out. I always seem to find myself browsing through the clothing, shoes, accessories or all of the above. Since everything is always so cute and the prices are so amazing I just can't pass up an impulse purchase-- or ten. I found this dress and it reminded me of something from Free People but for less than a third of the price. That instantly justifies the purchase... right?

Downtown

This weekend was very eventful, one of my best friends is back home from L.A. and it was her birthday. To celebrate we stayed at the Grand Bohemian hotel, if you are planning a trip to Orlando any time soon I highly suggest staying at this hotel, I loved it. We had some time to kill on Saturday afternoon so we walked around downtown Orlando, shopped in some cute little boutiques and grabbed lunch. We stopped by Lake Eola to snap a few photos, this outfit is pretty casual but I'm in love with this bright yellow top. It was a great find at Forever21 not too long ago, it looks and feels way more expensive than its $20 price tag.

Sunday Wish List : Home Decor

Just as I use Pinterest and Tumblr for outfit inspiration I also use these sites to pull ideas for home decor. My decor style changes every so often but as of right now I'm loving lots of clean whites and neutrals with pops of bright colors and a little tribal print doesn't hurt. I picked out some of my favorite inspiration photos and then chose a few pieces from my two favorite home stores, Z Gallerie and Anthropologie. 

What's your home decor style and where do you like to shop?

Is it just me or did May go by crazy fast? That means it's time for another monthly favorites post. These looks weren't necessarily the outfits with the most views, they're just my personal favorites from this month. As you can tell I've been loving my black blazer. I like being able to throw it on over anything and instantly making any outfit look chic.
