We’re a little bit less than a month away from the official start of summer, but it’s not too early to start shopping for your summer wardrobe! With every new season comes a handful of new trends, and one of the major trends for summer 2017 is the color blue! Pantone’s color trend report actually features three different shades of it, and you’re probably seeing all kinds of blue everywhere you look! Today, I’m going to be showing you how I’ve styled these shades of blue five different ways: quirky, simple, chic, bohemian, and groovy. There’s a little something for everyone!     First up,Read More →

On her most recent trip, Jen made it out with 166 POUNDS of clothing and accessories – over 200Read More →
