Summer is here which means updating my wardrobe and filling it with new pieces One of my favorite online boutiques to browse and shop at is Boutique To You. The lovely ladies that run this boutique are great family friends and helped me by sending some great pieces when I was in mid-freak out mode trying to pack for The Bachelor! Unfortunately you didn’t get to see all their great picks but you can browse their shop and fall in fashion love with everything they have! Below are some of my favorites for this summer:

Wildfox is one brand that, if it wasn’t for BTY, I would’ve never tried. While I think i’m pretty up-to-date on fashion, I’m not one to try crazy pieces and instead stick to timeless basics. I am SO glad the ladies sent me some Wildfox pieces because I LOVE the fit of their tees, tanks and sweatshirts. The oversized fit makes it feel like you stole your boyfriend’s shirt or sweatshirt yet has a flash of fashion perfect for a female.

LnA is another line that screams classy-casual. Their tees are my favorite because they show your frame yet are oversized enough to look like you aren’t trying too hard. Perfect for your weekend errands or a casual meal!

If you regularly read my blog you know that my Gypsy 05 dress is my favorite piece this summer. Gypsy 05 makes their dresses out of a lightweight silk that is hard to describe unless you feel it. It doesn’t feel anything like regular silk but almost like a very thin and soft cotton. It doesn’t wrinkle so it packs very well and the bottom of the dresses are tailored so that you don’t step on the front yet it trails slightly in the back. Super easy way to dress up at night without going over the top.

Topping off your wardrobe is key and Belle Noel has some pieces that are great for summer. If you like the Kardashian’s style this line is for you being that Kim K. is behind it. I think gold and cream scream summer and this cuff combines both. Many of the line’s pieces are at a great price point, too, making it easy to fill your jewelry box!

Those are some of my favorite picks for this summer. Do you have any go-tos this summer? Please share some of your favorite lines with me so I can check ‘em out too!

Memorial Day is just around the corner and I hope your weather forecast is looking brighter than mine in Florida. It should be against the laws of Mother Nature to have a stormy Memorial Day weekend…or any weekend for that matter :)

I hope y’all have BBQs, parties and events planned to fill your weekend and if not, get some because if you obsess over fashion like I do, you love an excuse for a cute outfit! Continue reading →

Question on Twitter from @kellielgee

hey @marissajustmay! Any dressing tips for concerts? Heading your way this wkd for my bday and bon jovi!

First off, happy birthday! There is nothing I love more than shopping for a birthday outfit and lucky for you, you get to tailor it to an awesome concert! Summer is just around the corner which means summer concert tours are about to start! As with dressing for any event, your circumstances will dictate what is appropriate, ie: what type of concert, who you are going with and where it is at (inside or outside).While you may have a certain look, it’s fun to dress to the genre of concert you are going to in order to blend in. I listen to EVERY type of music but definitely can’t wear my everyday outfits and expect to blend in at all of them. Here are some of my basics that I stick to when dressing for a concert: Continue reading →

The rays of the sun, a hot summer breeze, salty beach air- all call for that perfect summer dress.

This year I have seen dresses make huge fashion statements. I love dresses in the summer for multiple reasons: 1) I stay cool, 2) I can avoid awkward tan lines 3) they are super easy to throw on and still look cute and 4) when I pig out or drink, a flowy dress can hide my engorged belly

Below are some of my fave dresses for this summer season: Continue reading →

Now that I have been kicking my butt back into shape I’m kinda gettin’ excited to do some swimsuit shopping! When I went on The Bachelor my lovely friends over at Boutique To You sent me some adorable suits to wear on the show. Vitamin A Swimwear has some amazing fits that flatter all body types! As someone who has nearly a negative size bust, these tops have just enough form to give you shape without making you a walking false advertisement. Continue reading →
