Vacation Must Haves!

I have been slowly posting my vacay pics from Cabo and mostly because I want to think that I am still back in the sunshine and not here in the snow! I tag my photos on IG @ladyandredstyle so you can shop my looks directly from there too! I managed to overpack and that my friends is a miracle since Iย Carry On Onlyย ! I may appear high maintenance but I am actually pretty thrifty...or a control freak ๐Ÿ˜‚ The hubs and I left our daughter behind and went back to Cabo for a little getaway and it was much needed. We stayed at the RIU Palace this time and loved the location and resort. I am not too sure I loved the decor as much as the RIU Santa Fe, but we loved not having a ton of spring breakers at our resort. The food is always pretty good, but we do not stay there thinking we are going to receive 5 star food, but they have plenty of options to choose from! I was scooping up pieces here and there for our trip and I am posting a few of my favorite looks to maybe help with your packing for an upcoming trip!

Anyone else stalk the mailbox waiting for the Victoria's Secret Swim catalog to come?? Yeah me too but since they quit selling suits...I am suit searching all over the universe. Now in my closet I have vacation suits and country club suits....haha feels like I am living a double life! This suit will go in my vacation suits as the bottoms are not full coverage ๐Ÿ˜‰ I take a different suit and coverup for each pool day because why not?

Target Hits the Spot....Again!

Ugh! If you can go into Target and come out with only getting what you went in for, then you need to do my shopping for me! I seriously can't leave there without spending WAY more than I needed to ๐Ÿ˜ฉ But how can you not leave without that adorable coffee mug, or that vase in the dollar spot because you will definitely need that for your flowers, and the clothes are so cute and inexpensive, why not buy 1 of each?? The struggle is real people. So I have put to good use my countless hours of scouring over the clothing and shoes section into a little post so next time you can just go in for what you NEED to save you all time ๐Ÿ˜‰ I may or may not have these pieces and be styling them soon over on my Instagram page, @Ladyandredstyle

So this type of post is pretty new to me but should be fairly easy since I have no problem shopping โ˜บ๏ธ As you may know if you follow me on Instagram @ladyandredstyle, I post most days outfit inspiration and how to accessorize along with it! P.S. I also just changed my Instagram name to keep everything the same! Now everything correlates with my blog name, making it easier to find me โ˜บ๏ธ I started this venture when I signed up to be a stylist with Stella & Dot. Not only did I get free accessories and meet a ton of new and incredible women, I also found something that I loved and loved sharing with people from all over, including fellow stylists. I have always loved dressing up, but with a career as a Nurse before I had my daughter, scrubs was my work wear. A far cry from dressing up! Haha. Then in my next job, I was promoted to stay at home mom. I swear that term comes with the stigma that we wear leggings or pajamas all day everyday, and maybe some do and that is ok, but not this mama! So I have found my niche and I am always taking suggestions of what my followers and friends want to see, so let me know! I hope to team up with some local businesses and showcase my top picks from their stores! Stay tuned!! Here are a few of my latest IG outfits with links below them to shop the look! Also, don't forget to follow me over on Instagram for daily inspiration โค๏ธ @Ladyandredstyle

Outfit Roundup

IMG_8998 I may just toot my own horn one last time while it lasts :) The above photo is my Instagram photo of me pairing and wearing my new Stella & Dot goodies. Next thing I know I am getting text messages from friends and family telling me that it is being shared not only by Stella & Dot but by lots of people and companies....see this "job" is fun!! Just FYI, the current likes of this photo is 1,975 :) Toot toot! The above combo is theย Plume Necklaceย which is 7 in 1 but clearly I have found more than just 7 different ways to wear it. I paired it with theย White Stone Suttonย necklace for a whole new look. My bracelets are a mixture as well ofย The Sawyer Stoneย andย The Milana Tasselย bracelet. AND that ring!! I can't quit wearing it...Pave Chevron Ring.

Below are a few images I have found of some great outfits paired with Stella & Dot accessories. Remember we are not just jewelry! Also follow me on Instagram @ashleyn2504 for more everyday photos and posts.

The Edgy Classics: Weddings, Brunch, Church, Showers, Work (depends on profession)

Date Night: Or great for vacation! When I see the clutch print I automatically think vacay!! Outdoor wine tasting or concert, heck, skip the clutch and grab tote and farmers market it is! Yes this princess would wear a dress there :)

Silver: ANYWHERE! This is awesome.

The Perfect Statement: Shopping day, movie, and maybe a Sunday fun day. This is for those ladies wanting to know what jewelry goes with JUST a t-shirt....SEE FIRST PHOTO :)) My perfect t-shirt comes from a favorite local storeย Blond Genius. Click the blue link or call them from the link to buy my same "Blond Genius" t-shirt!!

I hope this gives you some good ideas on how to pair and wear clothes already in your closet. One of the biggest misconceptions is that you always need new clothes for new trends, when in fact you can make your old clothes feel new & trendy by adding in updated accessories! Cheers!

Happy Shopping!
