Floral Summer Playsuit

11 med

Charlotte Russe RomperSo who else is absolutely head-over-heels in love with this playsuit from Charlotte Russe? Not only are the colors and print stellar, but it fits like a glove. It’s made out of chiffon-like material, so it’s extremely light and can be dressed up or down. I can’t wait to pair it with a crisp, white blazer and some flats for my internship!

How cute would it look with some nude heels and a big sock bun? I also love the gold jewelry with it! There are just so many options with this one! I just can’t wait to wear it all the time this summer.

Definitely check out Charlotte Russe for some gorgeous rompers and playsuits for the summer – they have a great selection at extremely affordable prices.

Oh! Did you guys notice a change? I’m wearing my hair 100% natural for 30 days! It’s a personal challenge I’ve made for myself to become more comfortable in my own skin. I wrote a post all about it earlier, so check it out!

Today officially marks the 9th day of the challenge! It’s definitely been difficult to resist the urge to heat-style it, but surprisingly enough I’ve already noticed it growing more. I’ve also received so many compliments on my hair – my confidence has increased dramatically!

Outfit of the Day: June 1st

4.1

Happy June everybody!

Yesterday, I went to the Snohomish Wedding Show with my sister and her fiancé. It was so amazing to see the incredible venues just a 30 minute drive away from our home. I was beyond excited to see the venue they decided on called Jardin Del Sol. It’s phenomenal and suits them as a couple perfectly.

Tomorrow I’ll post some pictures I took at the venue but below is just my outfit for the day- I really loved the casual chic look created by mixing patterns and layering. I hope you enjoy!

Outfit of the Day: Yesterday, April 23rd

Outfit of the Day April 23

Outfit of the Day April 23
Yesterday I had the incredible privilege of managing Chapman University’s Twitter and Instagram during the annual “Spring Sizzle.” It was a blast – I felt so energized after. Opportunities like this remind me of how much I love social media especially for live events. I just really enjoy myself and feel very confident when I do it.

The one thing I did not feel confident about was my body. I really do not know what triggered this inside of me as I am usually very content with my body, but I guess I just had an off day. As I was settling in for the night to write this post and head to bed, a woman in my sorority shared this video on Facebook. I watched in awe as I was incredibly uplifted and inspired. I have included it at the bottom of this post for you to watch – I really hope you do! It is only about eight minutes long and will seriously make you feel beautiful and valued.

I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day!

Romping in Hot Pink

Charlotte Russe

Charlotte RusseCharlotte Russe has some incredible new spring arrivals and this romper is no exception. I’m completely in love with everything about it from the hot pink color to the flattering shape to the lace accents. This is the first romper I’ve ever owned because I was convinced they were the least flattering thing for any woman with hips or thighs. However, I was pleasantly surprised when this fit me like  a glove and accentuated my small waist. It highlights my curves in all the right ways! The chunky chain bracelet I’m wearing is too cute and guess what? It is also from Charlotte Russe!

Outfit of the Day April 3rdThis incredible kimono from Jane is the perfect spring addition to my wardrobe. The bright colors and floral print brighten up any outfit. The beautiful chiffon fabric feels light and fun. I also adore this Kappa Alpha Theta necklace from Tomi’s Treasures – an Etsy shop that I found. It’s so dainty and stunning – I love it!

Outfit of the Day April 3rdI want to talk briefly about Tomi’s Treasures. Tomi was incredible to work with. She was so interested in hearing about my life as a college woman. She worked so hard to provide me with jewelry that I wanted. I will post later about another amazing necklace she sent me (it’s in the shape of Washington state!). She went above and beyond to make it for me. I would highly recommend checking out her Etsy shop full of beautiful Greek jewelry. She even has hand-stamped bottle openers with fraternity letters on them! Anyways, I would just recommend you check her shop out for big/little gifts or a something special for a friend.

I went to the mall today to get all of my spring shopping done. It’s “warm” today – about 50 degrees – so I didn’t need a huge jacket or anything. This outfit is easy to throw together but it looks really polished. I just love it! I actually bought the hat today and threw it on as soon as I left the store. It complements my outfit nicely!

Happy first day of spring!

In honor of the “holiday,” I decided to break out my favorite sundress, cowboy boots, and Lilly Pulitzer bow from Bows and Kites. Also, check out my gorgeous Kappa Alpha Theta pendant created by one of my favorite people in the world, Donna. Check out my other post all about her jewelry and buy beautiful handmade sorority pendants like this one here.

This is one of my favorite outfits of all time. Comfy, cute, and playful!

Obsessed with Faith Christine (plus a discount!)

Amazing dress from Faith Christine Boutique

Amazing dress from Faith Christine Boutique

This stunning orange dress is from one of my favorite online boutiques, Faith Christine. Their entire inventory looks like it was taken out of my dream closet – pretty lace, pastels, and just a hint of country flair. The owner, Faith Hoye, is the cutest person ever! She has a shirt that says “Thug Wife” and posts pictures on her Instagram of her two golden retrievers Lucky and Irish. How adorable is that?

Anyways, she was beyond generous to send me this dress to style (buy it here!). The color is gorgeous, I can’t get enough of it! The details like the crochet bell sleeves and bow-tie back take my breath away. I really love how you can style this dress so many different ways as well. In these pictures, I made it a little more fancy, but it has that country feel that allows it to be dressed down with a pair of cowboy boots. I also think it would look so cute with a brown floppy hat, turquoise necklace, and brown wedges!

Be sure to follow Faith Christine on Instagram and check out their Facebook page!

I’m so excited to share that my readers will get a 15% off discount when they shop at Faith Christine Boutique and use the discount code Madeleine15!!! It was so hard for me not to buy everything there, so good luck ;) Hurry too because they’re having a HUGE winter sale right now!

Outfit of the Day March 13th

I could not wake up this morning for whatever reason! I went for the laid-back look today. Can you tell I got ready in 30 minutes? I’m sneaky that way! Since I woke up late, I didn’t have time to shower – so I threw my hair up in a sock bun and called it good. I pulled on my favorite Hudson jeans and t-shirt blouse from Nordstrom. These are two of my wardrobe staples that I wear ALL the time. Having a t-shirt blouse like this one is perfect because you can easily dress it up and down. It looks way more polished than the classic cotton t-shirt! I adore these Hudson jeans because they are the perfect length despite my little, short legs. The hug my curves in the best way possible and have lasted me so long. I wish I had them in a million pairs! I topped everything off with a colorful scarf my good friend Nikki gave me for my birthday and some hot pink Revlon lip stain. Slipping into my Steve Madden flats, I was set for the day!
