Color Block Dress + Thoughts On International Ordering
Alright alright alright... I get questions alllll the time about where I get my clothes. Obviously. However the number one question I get asked is if I like ordering clothes from online stores that are over seas. The answer is: YES.I'm used to it but I know it still makes some people nervous so I'm here to give you my experience and hopefully take some of the guess work out.This adorable color block dress is SUPER high quailty and I got it for $17 from Shein (I'm wearing a small for reference!). Normally it takes about one and a half to two weeks for my order to get here, which is a little bit longer than most places but still not horrible. I've been told that returns are getting much easier AND they are working to get their ship time down! If you read reviews and see the item first on someone you know, then you can get a pretty good idea of fit before you order. I always try to let y'all know how stuff runs and what size I'm in so you won't have any surprises when your clothes come in.
I also get a TON of my clothes from ASOS because their clothes have a boutique feel but are super affordable. Their shipping is really fast and returns are SO easy. Literally your order will come with a prepaid return shipping label and a self sealed bag and you just pop it back in the mail if it doesn't work. Their sizing is normally in UK sizing so just think about whatever your size is times two and that's your UK size. I almost always wear an 8 at ASOS.Another couple of international retailers I order from are Chic Wish and Goodnight Macaroon. They both have great sales and just a really beautiful selection of clothes! Returns are easy at Chic Wish and a little more difficult with Goodnight Macaroon. But the good news is that a ton of bloggers shop at Goodnight so you can always get the scoop on how items fit before you buy.Here are a few fun finds from Chic Wish![showboutiquewidget id="607797"]Here are a few from Goodnight Macaroon![showboutiquewidget id="607798"]If you have any questions about ordering, please don't hesitate to let me know! I'm here to help!!Thanks for reading, sweet friend!
June Goals
Am I the only person that canNOT believe it's already June?! My word this year is just flying by. I'm a teensy bit late to the June goals game but better late than never is my motto. Also, thinking I should add "Plan ahead better" to my list of goals for the month. Ha!Here are my goals for the month:Half Marathon Training: Ok so while I'm not completely sure where or when I'm doing a half marathon, I do know I want to continue training so I can have a re-do of my my first experience. I was newly pregnant (didn't know it yet!) and had strep in my lungs. It was terrible! I really want to give it another shot. I've been doing maintenance runs of three miles three to four times per week but it's about time to start running longer. One of the first things I need to do is get new shoes! I've use the Nike Free shoe in the past but would love to hear any suggestions you have! So far I've narrowed it down to these.[showshopthepostwidget id="2697135"]Finish House Projects: We have a few things going on that we've left to the pro's but I've been doing a few things of my own that I've got to finish up. Part of the issue is saving up for things I want to do seems to take fo-evuh! I know I'd like to finish up Rowen's room and the upstairs bathroom. My dad is helping out with the bathroom (thank goodness!). To finish Rowen's room, I still need to decide on bedding and a few things to put on the walls. Oh, and lamps. Still gotta get those lamps! Here's a little sneak at what we've pulled together so far![showshopthepostwidget id="2697118"]Plant Flowers: Ok before you start laughing at this pitiful goal, just know that my thumbs are BLACK, not green. It's the saddest thing. We joke and say my yard is where flowers come to live their last days. I kill everything. But I am determined to change that. I dream of having beautiful window boxes filled with overflowing greenery and flowers. I've been eyeing these from Wayfair and I'm kind of obsessed. If you have any tips on keeping flowers alive, send them my way![showshopthepostwidget id="2697177"]Organize closet: Ok, so if you've followed me for a while you know that our closet collapsed a few months ago. Well, we are finally getting our bath and closet expanded next week, which means I will get to completely organize my closet. This is such a dream. If you could see what I've been living with these last few months you would literally LOL. It's so hilarious!We have a beach trip coming up in two weeks so I'm hoping to have most of these house projects done before then. I'm really looking forward to some runs with my sisters while we are at the beach, too! Here's a sneak peek of what's going in my suitcase![showshopthepostwidget id="2697251"] Thanks for reading, sweet friends!!
Embroider It All, Y'all
Hi! Thanks so much for coming by my blog today. I'm glad you're here because that means that you love embroidery. I too have a deep love for embroidery, hence the entire post being dedicated to it.I think we can all agree on one thing right up front: Embroidered clothing is THE number one trend of the summer! I'm seeing it everywhere and I'm not at all mad about it. I love the feminine touch and how it's just as appropriately worn on a beach in Cabo as it is in the deli section of Publix. You can more than likely find me wearing my embroidered things at the latter. It's fine. I'm fine. #pleasetakemesomewheretropicalIn an effort to buy all the embroidered things, I've rounded up what I've found on my search. I'm really loving that my go-to spots for great deals are carrying some CUTIE options, but if you're looking for something a little higher quality, I gotcha covered there too![showboutiquewidget id="606256"]I limited this post to just dresses and tops but be warned! I'm starting to work on a bags and shoes post. It's coming!Have a happy day, sweet friends!
