    Blogger Copy Cat Collab Post

    I have made so many good friends thru Instagram and so far the experience for me has been nothing short of wonderful. I have always wanted to do something with my creative side and I never really had the chance to fully dive head in before Instagram. Before I had an esty shop where I used to make blankets and homemade soap and bathbombs. Then I had Will and it was too hard to keep up. I have always loved watching fashion influencers photos to see whats in style and I wanted to do that.

    I got divorced and suddenly had all of this free time that I have never had before. Previously I was a full time mom 24/7 and never had a minute away from my kids. Now I had every other weekend and I needed something that helped me find me again. So I took the leap and dove head firsts into Instagram fashion Blogging.

    I loved Rachel from @pinterestingplans from the beginning. I watched her first and loved her style and reliability. She had multiple blog posts about how she became an Instagram influencer and I started taking notes. I loved everything she did and I wanted to be as big as her someday. So it was an easy decision to chose her when doing a Copy Cat Collab Post of Instagram.

    1st post:

    Her style is timeless. She is elegant and chic and makes it look so easy. For this look I grabbed the target tank she wore and added my own chenille cardigan and shorts.

    2nd Post:

    Her look, American eagle tank, I have the black version but it didn’t look right that way so I went with a white Old Navy tank instead. Both of us in the American Eagle blush Chenille cardigan and shorts, me American eagle.

    3rd Post:

    I don’t have the beautiful beachy background, Iowa has no beaches that are natural. But I did grab the Free people bralette and my necklace is only 18 from red dress boutique. My thermal is under 25 and from amazon and we both have on the tomgirl American eagle jeans.

    Springtime and Summer Wedges

    A guest post by Kayci Gatlin @Kgbehindthelens

    Happy Friday my BEAUTIFUL readers! I hope that y’all have had a fantastic week and that y’all have made some great weekend plans! As for me, I have some real estate I have to photograph but after that I will spend the next couple of days with my daughters at the campground my parents are staying at near the beach. It’s always a fun and relaxing time. Even if you plan on staying home and relaxing, that’s okay because I have some great spring and summertime wedges that y’all can shop!

    I put together some really pretty and casual wedges that can go with ANY type of outfit. I love a good wedge. They go with everything and they are so much easier to walk in. Especially with my grandma knees.

    Spring Styles for 2019 under 100.00

    Some fun new pieces have been coming out and I know everyone is excited about spring break so here are some good ones. I found a couple of cute suits, perfect for vacation. There are some really cute shoes that are all under 100.00. Also I found a few extras that would be perfect for Easter. I think these may be the best under 100 spring styles for 2019.

    Either dress paired with the heels and the purse, such a fun spring outfit. The purple dress comes in a variety of spring colors and is really cute paired with a white blazer or denim jacket. The black dotted dress also comes in a variety of patterns including a pink leopard that I love. I love the detail on the heels and the price is so good. They would look so cute with the dresses also paired with jeans or black trousers. That purse would look good with everything. Comes in a few different colors and has such pretty hardware.

    Those suits would be fun at the beach for spring break. I think you would get a ton of compliments on those two! The water print is a big trend this spring and leopard is always in season it seems. A cover up to complete the outfit along with some cute sandals. This cover up is light and airy so it would be perfect under any suit and also for baby bellies. It has room to move in it and would flatter any size. The sandals are a long time favorite that are chic for the beach to dinner.

    Those tennis shoes would be perfect with a pair of denim shorts or white jeans. I love the pattern and the fact they are not too bright. They are the right shade of leopard. Just enough to get noticed without screaming it out. The price is so good one these and they would look cute with everything.
