Top : Free People // Shorts: Dupe // Sunglasses: Amazon // Bag: Similar

Let’s start off this Tuesday by asking you guys a question. Did you know Starbucks has a “secret” menu item called The Pink Drink?! Well I didn’t until yesterday. I’ve seen so many bloggers drinking a pink drink from Starbucks and I finally googled it. Maybe a lot of you already know or maybe I am just out of the loop of Starbucks hidden drinks lol. It actually tastes really good. I am not sure what is exactly in it except the strawberry part. It does take a little getting used to at first but if you’re a wholeheartedly fruit person then hey props to you.

Anyways, I have been obsessing over this rainbow top by Free People. I saw it one day shopping and walked out without it.. silly me. A few days ago I went back and it was on SALE! I mean you guys should have seen how happy I was hahah. I found this top online for you guys and it is 40% off. I am wearing a size small if any of you feel the need to check it out! This top comes in four different colors and currently is stocked with all sizes!

So now for the bad news, I bought these cute shorts before Spring break when they were on sale at Red Dress Boutique so they are now sold out. BUT I have found a dupe for y’all right here. So not really bad news right?Yay! Now for these sunnies that I found for only $12 on AMAZON. Such great quality and I am loving how colorful the lenses are. Absolutely perfect for summer, don’t you agree?

Have an amazing Tuesday!

XOXO,

“Life is better with confetti”

Happy Monday lovely people! You are probably wondering why there is a a vast amount of confetti & why I have a cupcake in my hand. Well this weekend was a very exciting one for me because I have finally hit 2K on my Instagram : @trendykenziee . This might not be a lot right now but to me it’s everything. I started at the end of October last year and let me tell you.. blogging is actually really hard work. Two of the most important things I have learned through this process is to stay consistent and BE YOURSELF. Time is key and nothing will happen over-night. I’ve had to tell myself these words plenty of times when I have become discouraged. If you love to do something & you put your heart and soul into it you will see an AMAZING outcome. Slowly but surely.

Senior year of high school I retired the only hobby/sport I had ever known… Competitive Cheerleading. That was my life for 18 years and something I loved deeply. 7 days a week practices were the norm with the people I grew up with. Feeling that tingling anxious feeling before you hit the floor for 2 minutes and 30 seconds was one of the most crazy feelings I’ve ever felt. But when you hear them call your name for winning a National Championship & Worlds.. man… now that is one thing you will never forget and it’s hard to explain to others. Seeing your dream come true right in-front of your eyes, all that dedication and hard work you put into for all of those years finally paid off. I admit writing about this is even hard because I miss it so much and I’m not going to lie every time I go back and watch videos I actually cry because it was a part of me lol. My point from all that rambling is that blogging has become the next chapter of my life. I treat it just like I did when I was cheering competitvely for all those years. Stay consistent. Hit that milestone. Strive for that goal. Be yourself. If you don’t succeed the first time, try again.

I want to thank all of you guys for being so supportive as I continue this journey. Nothing makes me more happy than seeing my dream come true! Love all of you & btw these jammies are only $15 😉

XOXO,

Trendy Kenzie

Top : Similar // Shorts: Topshop // Earrings: J. Crew // Shoes : Marc Fisher ( Steve Madden Dupe )

 

Congrats, we made it to Friday! The weather is absolutely beautiful here. I was so tempted to go lay out by the pool yesterday but it was PACKED. Last night Justin took me on the cutest picnic ever and we watched the sun set. I know so cliche , but it was seriously one of the best dates ever.

I have become a huge gingham fanatic lately. I’ve seen so many tops, dresses, and even shorts that are covered in gingham! My favorite thing to do is pair a huge colorful pair of earrings with this pattern. I definitely have a thing for off the shoulder tops. This one was a huge bargain and it is sold out but I found a dupe for you guys here & it’s only $17. I am linking my favorite black and white gingham tops below, so be sure to check them out!

Now lets talk about these awesome black ripped jean shorts. This was my first item I bought from Topshop ( size 6) and I seriously love this pair of shorts. I will be wearing them on repeat in the summer! If you don’t have a pair yet I highly suggest these for sure.

Have a great weekend!

xoxo,

Romper Mania

Happy Thursday Loves!

Everyone hang in there it is almost Friday ( silently screaming for joy ). Today has been a very chill day for me so far. I actually woke up at 7 am this morning and managed to go to a workout class with LiveFitBeWell. It was active recovery day which we started with some cardio and ended up stretching . I have been back into my running habit for the last two weeks so I definitely needed this! My legs have been super sore.

Now let’s start chatting about my romper mania that I have been having lately. I don’t know about you guys but a romper or jumpsuit is something I love to wear during Spring & Summer time. You don’t have to pick a top or pair of shorts out, instead you can just slip a romper on and have your entire outfit. Super easy right? This one I bought before my cruise in December but it sold out REALLY FAST. YIKES. Anyways, I have spent some time searching a couple dupes for you guys. Luckily for you guys these are even cuter than this one ( I think ) lol.

Here they are:

White Lace Came Romper – This one is very similar just with the added lace

Cold Shoulder Lace Romper – Now this one is extra cute. I will probably be buying it for my cruise that is in a few weeks

These Truffle Collection lace up heels are the best. They do run a little big so I probably could’ve gotten a 7 1/2 rather than an 8. They are under $40 and so worth the price. I think having a neutral heel is a must because you can wear it with anything LITERALLY.

Hope that sums up my outfit for the day a little bit. Everyone have a fabulous Thursday!! Love you guys and thank you for reading.

XOXO,

Happy Hump Day Babes!

This weather has me constantly thinking about Summer and how it is getting so close. I only have 3 more weeks left till I get my butt down to the coast. THANK GOODNESS. I can’t wait to have my toes in the sand. Maybe I’ll get a little glimpse next weekend and drive down there! WHO KNOWS?!

 Anyways, I am sharing one of my favorite button downs from Target today & it’s under $20! I am currently wearing a medium and in my opinion I think they definitely run true to size. I am starting to love the new Universal Thread line at Target. There is so much to choose from and it’s all SO CUTE! I always like to tie up a button down to go for a more fun look.

In years past, I’ve always maintained to have at least one pair of American Eagle shorts in my closet.They have a variety of different denim washes whether it be high-rise, low-rise, etc. This specific pair is high-rise and I am wearing a 6. I have a bad habit of throwing all of my clothes in the dryer so they have shrunk just a bit so this fits like a 2-4. Time to get a new pair!

I hope you guys have a great Wednesday!

xoxo,

Stop & Sip The Rose

Top: Old navy // Leggings: Gap // Purse: Tory Burch // Shoes: NB // Sunnies: F21 // Necklace: Kendra Scott

Is anyone else excited that it is already Tuesday? I’m currently hanging out writing this post at my favorite coffee shop in Starkville. If you ever happen to find yourself here maybe for a football game or something, I highly recommend Strange Brew Coffeehouse . I have been coming here for years and nothing else relaxes me more than this place and their outstanding coffee! Talk about some good blueberry coffee now..

This cute graphic tank is only $14 with additional savings at checkout. I am crazy for soft tanks like these to workout in or just a casual day top especially with a pair of leggings. I can’t link these leggings on the like to know it app but I’ve linked them here on my blog. They are from gap factory and are only around $24 with more savings at checkout. Such a great bargain on this workout outfit!!

Now onto my FAVORITE PAIR OF SNEAKERS. I was so pumped to find a not just an adorable pair but comfortable too. I wear these like they are going out of style. New Balance have always had great quality sneakers and they last a long time in my opinion. I love the champagne & cream colors. These have a perfect color combination for my wardrobe .

Lastly, my Kendra Scott necklace is a necessity . This one is such a pretty silver pendant necklace. I love simple jewelry and if I get stuck on what to add to my outfit I usually go with Kendra. I’m pretty sure you get 15% off your first purchase if you sign up with your email.

Thank you for reading! Hope you guys have a wonderful Tuesday!

Good Evening lovely people!

I hope your Monday has been off to a great start so far. If you haven’t yet, check out my Instagram for the recent giveaway I just posted @trendykenziee. I am partnering with some other bloggers to give away a Gucci bag. I mean how could you resist?! I know I want one myself lol. Anyways, you know those days where you wake up and are just in this extremely good mood? Well today was one of those days for me. I accomplished everything on my list to get done today and now I feel so relieved. Justin and I went to go take pics for my blog today and I can’t be more thankful to have someone who will tolerate me if I don’t end up liking a picture haha. Ladies we all know how that goes!

This Free People top I am wearing is going to be worn on repeat . It just came in yesterday and I am IN LOVE with the material and how light it is. It comes in a variety of different colors and was only $22 when I bought it from Nordstrom.I don’t know for some reason it went back up in price?! I went with a small because like I have said before, Free People does run a little big. I highly recommend this top though sale or not because it’s perfect for a spring or summer day. If you’re like me and still like to wear cute pullovers with shorts then this is your go-to.

The next thing I want to talk about are these Beaded Tassel Hoop Earrings. I am a sucker for Nordstrom’s earrings. Such great quality & price. I always love to pair a neutral color top with a fun pair of earrings.This pair was only $16 and I will definitely be taking them on the cruise in a few weeks. 🙂

Lastly for today, the Marc Fisher Dexie sneakers have literally been on my feet 24/7. I needed a good sneaker that I could pair with a casual outfit and these were the perfect fit. They are under $60 at DSW and I think they have a 15% off coupon on their website to use as well. Not much but anything helps right?

I am looking forward to this week to share with you guys all of the posts I have planned!

XOXO
