SS 18 Trend: Two Piece Sets

Hello all! Happy hump day!

If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen that I've been really into two piece sets (or co-ords) recently! So today I wanted to share a few different sets that I received through a collaboration with SweatyRocks. For my Shein girls, SweatyRocks may literally change your life. All your favorite pieces from Shein, with all the ease of ordering from Amazon!! Honestly, what a game changer. I know they've got a customer for life in me :)

Below I've styled two of their cutest two piece sets (as well as gotten some practice shooting with my new Canon D3400!). Both sets were super comfy and lightweight for the summer, and fit exactly how the sizing charts claimed they were (gotta pay attention to those measurements). I think they were both fantastic value for really low price points. I got a TON of compliments on both, but particularly on this first one! Let me know in the comments whether or not you're feeling the matching set trend, and definitely let me know if you've checked out SweatyRocks!

Stay Beautiful!

Temecula Wine Tour

Hello all! It's been a little while :) However, now that I'm out of grad school (!!) I'm hoping to be a lot more active here. This will be a place for me to talk about fashion, beauty, bullet journaling, travel, and whatever else crosses my mind! And with a new D3400 camera, who knows, maybe there'll be a few Youtube videos in the future as well!

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to take a few of my best friends out on a celebratory wine tour with me up in Temecula. Transportation was provided by the amazing Aall In Limo & Party Bus located in San Diego. Before we get too deep into the wine (and believe me I got deep into the wine... yikes) I've got to give a shoutout to Aall In for being so kind, patient, and considerate with me and my guests throughout the whole process. They really care about their customers and have top notch customer service (even pulling over for me when I really really needed to stop). We took the 9 person limo, which seated everyone comfortably and stylishly, with a built in air conditioner and an aux cord. They were even sweet enough to provide us with a bottle of sparkling wine for the drive up!

Our first stop was to Danza Del Sol, where Mike of Aall In got us a discount so that the wine tasting (6 wines) was just over $6 each. I opted for the sweeter wines, and they also provided us with a few oyster crackers to munch on. It was actually my second time to this winery, and just like the first time it was so good! It was such a gorgeous day out, we all got some lovely photos as well :)

The second winery we got to was Falkner. Here we opted to buy bottles instead of glasses (my first mistake) as it was a better deal (our bottle, the Luscious Lips, was about $17-$18). I believe we bought three bottles between seven people? I have to say, it was delicious though. Falkner also had a small courtyard area with a gazebo and several games out (Cornhole and Giant Jenga) so we spent about an hour or so drinking, playing games, and taking pictures before heading home!

Despite the fact I'm now nursing a hangover, it seems like a good time was had by all. Thanks again to Aall In Limo and Party Bus for providing transportation for this trip, definitely definitely check them out for your next event :) And thanks to all my friends for coming! I hope you all still love me even after seeing this side of me! I guess everyone blacks out at some point, at least I waited till I finished grad school to do it, haha :)

Much love,

Whit

Wow, I can NOT believe it's been so long since I've posted!! It's been a really wild time for me what with graduating undergrad, applying to grad school, and now the process of moving up to Long Beach to attend grad school. Still, in such a hectic time, I'm really hoping to find more time to sit down and do some blogging :)

Throughout this craziness, I've definitely found an appreciation for cute, simple pieces that look very trendy but still require little effort on my part. Cue this ADORABLE dress form the Sweetest Stitch, which I've linked above. Just by itself it's the perfect kind of throw-it-on-and-go outfit, like I've got it in the first look. Just a pair of sandals and a pair of sunglasses and you look effortlessly chic. You can also dress it up for a more polished look, like I've done in the second look. All I did was throw on a cardigan, dress the shoes up a bit, and throw on a cute choker/ neck tie, and I instantly felt 100 times more put together.

I feel like pieces like this are so perfect for this time of year because they can be worn in such a variety of ways. What are some of your guys' summer faves? Be sure to let me know!!

Oh, and thank you so much to the Style Collective and Sweetest Stitch for working with me on this collab. Much love!

Stay beautiful! xx
