What I'm Loving - Clothes, Shoes and Accessories

Today I thought I'd do something a little different. Rather than talk about what I'm watching / listening to / reading, I wanted to share some fun clothes, shoes and accessory items.

I hope you find something you like ~ if you do, please let me know!

*Lands End swimsuits (www.landsend.com)

Swimsuit shopping was always a giant pain for me. Going into a dressing room, with bad lighting, AND buying a swimsuit?

No ma'am. No thanks.

For a few years there I had luck with other retailers like Victoria's Secret, but then their suits took a turn I was just not comfortable with for myself, so I sought out other options.

I'd had Lands End suits when I was younger but it'd been a few years and so I went back and tried them again.

And I've never looked back.

They are DARLING, they last forever and have super cute prints and such. I am big on the tankini because as a woman who is a different size on top than I am on the bottom, having those two pieces saves my bacon. Plus, the tankini tops are nice and long enough which I adore.

I'm a big fan of their Swim Mini bottoms, as well (the model in the picture has those on). They're just a little bit of coverage with a skirt and then have the brief bottoms built into them. Perfect for the coverage I want, and they are comfy. Win win.

They aren't cheap but listen - a good swimsuit is going to be a bit of money. And mine have really all held up.

Lands End is also having a sale on their website RIGHT NOW so get thyself over there and find yourself a suit.


* Stella and Dot (www.stelladot.com/ginaschmitt)

My friend Gina was the one who introduced me to the wonder that is Stella and Dot. The CUTEST, most adorable jewelry; necklaces, rings, earrings, bags, etc.

(In fact, as I write this, I have on one of their pendants with matching earrings. Love.)

I am always drawn towards long, pendant-style necklaces. Anymore, I can't stand having something tight on my neck so the long styles suit me the best. They have some of the cutest, most fun, most on-trend stuff out there.

Their stuff also lasts forever - and they have an awesome guarantee if you ever have any issues.

Gina is a friend of the blog and so if you check out their site, email her at gschmitt0106@gmail.com and she can get you hooked up.



* The Champion C9 Women's Tee Shirt - Target (www.target.com)

I am ALWAYS on the lookout for tee shirts that are long enough, but not too long. Flowy, but not so oversized that they're shapeless.

I found these in Target about 6 months ago - and I have them in EVERY COLOR. Every one. I'm considering getting a few more in black because one can never have too many black tee shirts.

They wash great (but I don't dry mine - I find I don't dry most of my clothes), have a great shape and the colors are cute as well.

And, they are a bit longer in the back which I think is wonderful.

I will wear them with shorts, and I've also paired them with maxi skirts for church. Put on a long necklace from Stella and Dot and you are ready to go to dinner, girls.


*Sketchers Go Walk 2 - Amazon.com

I am IN LOVE with these shoes. In love. They are comfy and I can walk an entire day at Disney wearing these shoes.

Oh, and did I mention you can put them in the washer?!

The Go Walk 2 is my current favorite model and it must be older because I don't see them on Zappos. But Amazon does have them, in a TON of colors. Heather Gray is my current fav, because you can wear them with just about any color and you look both cute and your feet are not going to be screaming at you in a few hours.

So share with me - what are some of YOUR favorites?
