SPF & Designer Studs

Good morning my beautiful babes! & happy Monday! My apologies for the unexpected hiatus I took last week, real life kind of happened…which always shakes things up a bit! But it’s a new week, and it’s time to start fresh and keep moving forward! I have SO many exciting things happening this week that I literally cannot even stand it!! I hope you all have exciting things to look forward to as well!

Let’s get back on track though. A lot of you semi freaked out a couple of weeks ago when I Instagrammed these pink studded beauties…because let’s be real: we all know I cannot currently afford to rock a pair of flats that cost literally one thousand dollars (#goals). A lot of you commented on the photo asking about them, and I kept quiet for a while because I wanted to make sure I found you the best deal and that I didn’t ruin the surprise pre-blog post! WELL, literally last week I stumbled across another blogger who found an even better dupe than I did (I am so sorry I cannot remember her name for the life of me)! But, the shoes she found can be purchased in every.single.color on Amazon. Now, I bought mine here, but they are a bit more expensive. So, though I cannot 100% guarantee the Amazon pair will be the exact same quality as mine, they honestly look the EXACT same…so I would go for the Amazon pair!! I got my true size (7.5 = size 38) and there wasn’t even a “breaking in” period! Which usually never happens.

Another item that I can’t stop wearing is this stripe swing top! It’s from a company called Mott50, which has SPF 50 (technically “UPF” 50) in all of their products! At first I thought this was so weird and had no idea what to expect, but I have honestly worn this shirt probably 9 or 10 times in the last month. I wear it SO DANG MUCH. It’s comfy, it’s soft, and weirdly thick yet breathable…which I can’t figure out how that works. Added bonus? Oh yes, it’s simultaneously protecting my skin while being all the wonderful things aforementioned. I mean…I can’t think of a reason you shouldn’t get this top for yourself. Honestly. I would buy 15 if there were that many more colors.

Now go out and make Monday YOUR day. xoxo
