April 20, 2018April 20, 2018by mackenziemick2 Comments

Spring has sprung. And of course with every new season, comes some seasonal must haves. Although the spring weather isn’t in full swing, that’s not stopping me from flaunting these adorable pieces new patterns, new styles, and new accessories. So check em’ out! Comment your thoughts below! As always, thanks so much for reading! Stay stylish! XO, MK.

Fancy Pants

Palazzo pants. Flare pants. And paper bag pants. Oh my! Fancy pants are definitely trending this Spring, that’s for sure. New York Fashion Week models, celebs, and just about women everywhere are embracing the aesthetic of vibrant, free flowing pants. Pair the fabulous bottoms with a graphic tee or formal blouse. Slide on a pair of kicks or decked out heels. The fancy pants possibilities are endless. Pictured below: bold black paper bag pants from American Eagle.

Espadrilles

Slide on a pair of these glam boho shoes The textured ballet flats are perfect to pair with any outfit. Maybe boyfriend jeans and a graphic tee, or a denim skirt or a printed off the shoulder blouse. The foot-friendly kicks come in a variety of styles such as laced and thick wedges. Sleek. Structured. Sassy. Pictured below: fuchsia espadrille wedge sandals from DSW.

Straw Tote

Grab this trending handbag while it’s hot! The tropical inspired tote pairs perfect with any Spring time outfit. They come in all different shapes and sizes, literally… square straw bags, circle straw bags, so much to choose from! And the best pair is that these bags are super roomy and great for traveling. Pictured below: Arya metallic straw bag tote from Francesca’s.

Tee Shirt Dress

Cozy. Comfy. Sassy. Stylish. And super easy. I am so obsessed with tee shirt dresses this season. They look adorable with high tops or super sleek Nike kicks. Dress em’ up or dress em’ down. Tee shirt dresses are the one stop look that are great for any occasion. Pictured below: heather grey wrap tee shirt dress from Misguided.

Gingham

Add this print to your closet ASAP! The Springy, sweet pattern is totally trending. Grab a gingham dress. Or pair a patterned off the shoulder with white denim. Oh, but don’t forget your straw bag! Pictured below: red gingham tank from Topshop.

Hey friends! It was a pretty jam-packed week between work and the pressure of college weighing me down! I began the fourth quarter at school as well, only a few more months until graduation!! And baseball season has started, something I am beyond excited about! I love going to the games to cheer my friends on. Though baseball season is here, baseball weather is not! My bff Hailey and I bring loads of blankets to the games! Confession: sometimes we even sit in my car and just pull up close to the fence. But, I mean who wouldn’t?! It’s better than shivering as the freezing wind… sometimes even rain showers smacks us in the face! Oh Spring time. But anyway, take a look at my week! As always, thank you so much for reading!!

April 11, 2018by mackenziemick5 Comments

Hi my loves! How is everyone’s week going!? Mine, a bit slow. Well, no… very slow!! I can’t believe it’s ONLY Wednesday! And I know the irony, all I do is complain that I feel like time is flying by, but oh how the tables have turned! But anyway, my piece today is super, super fun and girl boss inspired! So gather round my girl boss squad and read some rad girl boss habits! I composed this list by reading up on other girl boss’s routines and tips, while implementing a few of mine own of course!! As I soon attempt to take on the chaotic life of a college student, I found it only necessary that I exhibit these traits and practice these habits.

But, before I get too far ahead of myself, let’s review. The Law of Attraction (LOA) is the belief that like attracts like! Positive thoughts translate into a positive and healthy lifestyle. What you believe you become. Visualization is key. Picture your goals and dreams and make them a reality. So let’s get to it!! As always, thanks so much for reading!

Imagine living in a town that deemed dancing a crime. Yup. No popping or locking. No shimmy, and certainly no shaking. In the small Midwestern town, Bomont, a righteous minister bans the art of dance. However, when a rad Chicago teen enters this monotonous world, he enlightens his classmates with a new perspective. Though his transition from city life is a tad bumpy, he not only finds friends who are also fed up with the restricted Midwestern lifestyle, but love as well.
