Y’all know I am a little bit obsessed with LuLaRoe. It’s kind of bittersweet because when I share outfits with you guys I want to be able to tell you where to GO GET the exact items that I’m wearing. That can be kind of difficult since LuLaRoe prints are completely unpredictable from consultant to consultant. You should definitely go check out this dress style though! For reference, I am a dress size 4 or 6 and the XS fits me pretty well! I have three favorite consultants – Jessica, Heather, and Christina! Go check them out and see what the have in stock- maybe you’ll find your perfect print! And if not, I’ve linked some similar items below!

I hunted everywhere for this camera print Carly! I love the bouncy light weight fabric, the high low cut, and of course- the CAMERA PRINT. I wore my camera necklace with it and toted my giant DSLR out to the Shake Shack at The Summit At Fritz Farm to meet up with some Lexington blogger friends on Monday night. I should’ve introduced myself as the crazy camera lady!

Downtown Lexington, Kentucky - Springtime - April 15, 2017

This weekend was beautiful. The weather was just perfect! It feels so great to be able to say SPRING is finally here. I’ve had this lace dress (similar dress here + bralette) pushed to the back of my closet for what feels like YEARS. I was more than a little excited to pair it with my bright macaron LuLaRoe leggings! Our plans for Saturday were kind of all over the place but we ended up meeting some friends downtown at the Lexington Farmers Market. After we were done browsing we headed over to Cheapside to grab some brunch! PS: if you’ve never had their brunch – please, just go! You won’t regret it….

On Saturday Nate and I decided to check out Joella’s Hot Chicken in Lexington, KY for the first time. We’ve been meaning to try it out for a long time but we are such creatures of habit, always gravitating to the same places that we know. Well, I can say that Joella’s will be one of our new go-to restaurants!

The chicken was so good, as expected! I got the “Tweener” spice blend because I like a little kick! Nate stuck with the level right below that. And Landon chose to go spice-less, of course. ;] I got green beans and macaroni for sides. They were both amazing, but when I saw the fries, I deeply regretted my decision. I like fries … but THESE FRIES, Y’ALL! …
