The Perfect Spring Dress For Teens | All in Favor

April 14, 2025 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

Shopping for dresses with our teenage daughter isn’t always easy. Styles can feel either too grown-up or too young, and finding something that feels just right can be tough. We found the perfect floral minidress at Nordstrom by All in Favor.

The Perfect Spring Dress For Teens

It’s a simple, floral cotton minidress with a soft swiss dot texture, and it ended up being a great option for the season.

The dress is fully lined, which is always a plus, and it has smocking in the back for a bit of stretch and comfort. The sleeves have a nice, feminine detail without being over the top, and the dress is fitted at the bodice and gently flares out—a flattering shape that still feels age-appropriate.

It’s light and comfortable, and it was perfect for a family baby shower.

If you’re in the same boat of trying to find something that feels stylish but not too grown-up, this one is definitely worth checking out.

How-To Wear a Sweater Vest | 3 Ways to Wear the Sweater Vest Trend

September 19, 2021 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

One of the trends in 2021 that I saw a bit in the spring and is now EVERYWHERE this fall is the sweater vest. Today I want to share three easy ways to wear a sweater vest.

How-To Wear a Sweater Vest

  1. Wear a sweater vest alone as a sleeveless top

2. Wear a sweater vest over a long sleeve button down

3. Wear a sweater vest over a t-shirt

THE BEST WINTER COAT FOR $60! | Women’s Artic Parker – Universal Threads Target

January 13, 2020 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I think sometimes my most used products and my most functional items don’t get the love they deserve on here. A coat that I bought this season and is still available online needs to be brought to your attention because it’s the cost per wear has already gone below $1.

Women’s Artic Parker – Universal Threads Target

I was at Target with my mom in October, tried this on, and we both LOVED it, but because we already had a cart full of stuff I put it back. I couldn’t stop thinking about it and neither could my mom, so she went and found it at her local Target (she really is the best!). I love this jacket because of the long line (it fully covers my bum and I am 5’7) and it isn’t bulky but still keeps me warm on most midwest winter days. I do still reach for my North Face Parka when it’s below zero, but typical errands, outdoors for shorter periods of time when it’s 50-15 degrees Fahrenheit. The waist can be sinched in, which is nice, though I don’t find myself using that often. I LOVE the deep pockets, they’re functional to keep my hands warm, and easily hold a small wallet, keys, my phone, gloves, and whatever other random things my Little Loves hand me. The hood is removable and has a pretty faux fur trim and incredibly soft brown fuzzy lining in the hood. The coat has over 80 reviews, almost all of them 5 Stars and is also available in Gray, Black, and Olive. I would guess that over the past 90 days I have worn this jacket 75 of those days. It is so good!

KEY PIECES TO BUILD A STYLISH WARDROBE (AFFORDABLE) | MY BIRTHDAY WISHLIST

March 5, 2018 & Leave a Comment

Hi there! Happy Monday!

I hope that you had a wonderful weekend! It is my birthday month, and today I wanted to share a few of the things on my wishlist because I think they are fantastic options for anyone who is working to build a stylish wardrobe.

My Style

In the past couple of years I have been working to only purchase things that bring me happiness, and while I am in no way a minimalist or attempting to be, I think that having a few basic items can ensure that you’re always looking fantastic. I love neutrals because I think that even if a shirt is a more budget-friendly brand, such as Target, H&M, or even Forever 21, you can dress it up with a great necklace, or a nicer handbag. I usually keep my blog beauty-based, but if you’d like to see more of my style picks for shirts, jeans, bras, and shoes please comment to let me know.

My Wishlist

 

 

Kate Spade Cameron Street Lacey Wallet

I love this wallet for its timeless style and functionality. I think this looks fantastic with lots of handbags, and I love that it zips around to keep your cards and cash safe.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Soft Glam Palette

If you’re a regular reader of my blog then you know that I have plenty of neutral eyeshadow palettes, but this one speaks to me because it combines the incredible quality of Anastasia Beverly Hills (same formula as the Modern Renaissance Palette!) with shades that can go from very natural to full glam.

Steve Madden Daisie Pump 

I recently went through my closet and narrowed down my shoes to ones that I love and classic pieces that I know will always be a wardrobe staple. I have a pair of nude heels with a rounded toe, but I’ve realized that I really need a pair of pointy toe nude heels because they would work with so many looks. I love this pair of Steve Madden Daisie Pumps because they’re affordable but have fantastic reviews, plus I have always historically had luck with Steve Madden shoes.

The Ordinary 100% Cold Pressed Virgin Marula Oil 

A friend shared her collection of The Ordinary skincare a few months ago and I have picked up a few items since. I love The Ordinary because they offer a ton of different acids, oils, and vitamin products that you can pick and choose based on your needs. The price point is affordable, the brand integrity is backed by fantastic reviews, and the packaging is modern and clean. One of my items on my must-try list is the Cold Pressed Virgin Marula Oil. I also want to try the Cold Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil. If you are interested in hearing more of my thoughts on The Ordinary, please let me know!

Kendra Scott Gold Stud Earrings

I love Kendra Scott jewelry and I am a stud earring girl, so I am completely swooning over these Gold Studs! I love all of the color options, but right now the slate is really speaking to me! What color do you like the best?

Miranda Frye Stephanie Threader

I have become OBSESSED with Miranda Frye lately and a pair of her amazing threader earrings is up high on my current lust-list wish-list! The earrings are said to be very light and you actually thread the string like metal through your ear and they hang so beautifully. Miranda Frye also has gorgeous necklaces that can be layered, as well as incredible rings that are also swoon-worthy.

 

What is on your wishlist? What are your closet and style staples?  I would love it if you commented to let everyone know in the comments! xx
