Top : Old Navy // Jeans: American Eagle // Necklace : Express ( Similar)  // Shoes: Tory Burch

Good evening babes!

I wanted to get the chance to tell you guys I am starting a blog series about trendy items this season. I plan to write one every week about the up-to-date trends on clothing, accessories, etc. So basically if you see a post with the title “Trendy Tuesday: ….” then that’s part of the blog series. I figured I would switch it up a bit for ya’ll every Tuesday from now on!

Everything smocked has been popping up back in stores. Yes girls the TREND IS BACK. I can’t help but finding myself mesmerized of all of the tops, skirts, and dresses that are smocked. I just love how stretchy the material is and the way it fits. This weeks “Stay Trendy” item is this gorgeous smocked off-the-shoulder peplum top. I am wearing a size medium and it is only $17 at checkout. It comes in two different colors along with a few other patterns on Old Navy’s website. Click the link above to check it out! I feel like this trend won’t fade out for a while but that’s perfect for me! Give me all the smocked clothing!

Tomorrow is my last day of classes for my junior year and It is going to be CRAZY for the next few days so please bear with me! I have so many finals to study for lol. Please pray I do well! I hope you guys have a great night.

XOXO,

TRENDY KENZIE

Can ya’ll believe its finally Wednesday?! I’ve had a very busy schedule this week but one of my besties is supposed to come see me this Friday so I am extremely happy! Then my friends & I are off to the most magical place on earth AKA Disney World. I seriously have an obsession but it’s okay to still have that “kid” side. Can Friday come sooner?!

Anyway, if you are on a hunt for some affordable cute sneakers these Marc Fisher ones are your go-to. They are under $60 and are the most COMFORTABLE THINGS EVER. Let’s not forget the detail and color. These are similar to the Steve Madden ones ( which I love just as much ) but I am glad I invested in these babies . I paired them with jean shorts but they would look great with a pair of skinny jeans as well if it is on the more chilly side. These will for sure be packed in my suitcase this weekend. You can never have enough shoes right?

XOXO,

Clutch: Deja Vu // Shirt : Free People // Sandals: Tory Burch // Earrings : H&M

Happy Tuesday guys!

This morning I woke up at 6:30 and was wide awake. Like how does that happen?! I managed to get a lot of stuff done this morning & I’m about to head to yoga so I figured I would go ahead & make this short & sweet. In 5 days I will be heading to Orlando & the beach with some of my sweet friends for Spring Break & I am super stoked. I keep counting down the days!

This clutch from Deja Vu Boutique is my absolute favorite. I am obsessed with pom-poms and all things color. It’s half off on sale for only $22! If you happen to be on their site check out everything else as well. They have the most affordable, adorable Spring/Summer outfits and accessories.

My Free People tee is also on sale for only $20! I am wearing a size S. The material is so soft and it’s perfect for a warm day with a pair of cute sandals. Basically my entire outfit is on sale because these earrings from H&M are under $10 as well! Everything is such a great deal right now so get it while it lasts!

Well that’s a wrap! Hope you all have a lovely day! Feel free to message me with anything you would like to see on my blog or email me at wheeler.makenzie@yahoo.com.

XOXO,

One piece: Aerie // Headband: Aerie

Good afternoon!

I usually do not post this late in the day but I have been laying in bed since lunch due to getting sunburnt yesterday. I guess I forgot to wear sunscreen. OOPS LOL. I won’t forget next time! Anyway, this weekend was one of the best I’ve had in a while. Friday night Justin & I went late night bowling with some friends & Saturday we had a blast at the casinos in Biloxi! The fun didn’t stop there because Sunday we ended up on “the islands” off the coast and were out there all day . That’s were I found all these beautiful sea shells! The coast absolutely has my heart. Nothing like a weekend mini-vacay.

This suit from Aerie is selling out very fast & that’s probably because it is super stinking cute right?! Hopefully it will restock soon with different sizes and I will let you guys know when it does! This swimmie is under $30! Aerie has some super cute & affordable pieces for summer. I usually wear a medium in tops and large in bottoms , but this one piece does run a little small so I am wearing a large. I love the pattern and how the ruffled sleeves give that unique touch to this swimsuit. It’s always a good idea to add a cute headband when you are out in the wind because my hair goes EVERYWHERE if I don’t. I am linking a few of my other favorite one-pieces on the LikeToKnowItApp from Aerie! Follow me : @trendykenziee

Thank you for reading!

Weekend Getaway

Blue Button Down : Old Navy // Jeans : Free People // Jean Shorts: For all 7 mankind // Sliders : Sam Edelman // Headband: Aerie // Sunglasses: Nordstrom // Flip Flops : Antonio Melanie // Suitcase : Target

Who else is excited for the weekend?

Justin and I are taking a mini vacay down to the coast for the next few days. I’m currently typing this in the car looking out to an amazing sunset. There is not a drop of rain in the forecast this weekend so let’s hope it stays that way!

I don’t know about you but I always take forever to pack whether it be for a week-long trip or just a few days. I like to keep everything organized in my suitcase otherwise I am a wreck. I usually plan each outfit for each day & take a backup if the weather changes. That goes for matching jewelry to shoes & tops to purses. I guess you can say I am very “Extra” & over-pack lol. I’m sure many of you have had that time when your suitcase has been overweight at the airport and everyone has to wait on you to unpack and move it to another bag. Yeah that’s me. I’m the person you’re waiting on.

Anyways, I hope you all have a LOVELY good weather filled weekend

Loving Yourself

IMG_6370

Top : Free People // Lace Bralette : Free People // Shorts: Abercrombie // Earrings : Nordstrom Rack

Happy Wednesday Ya’ll!

Before I start rambling let’s chat about today’s outfit. You guys know my love for Free People. They put so much work into their clothing line to make sure it’s good quality and HELLO it is always SO CUTE. I’ve heard countless people say they are way too expensive but I am expressing to you that they ALWAYS have a sale especially if other retails are selling their clothing. But hey, it doesn’t hurt to splurge on a NEW ARRIVAL item that you just can’t stop thinking about. I bought this Lace Bralette a few months ago but I kept putting it off before because it was around $38. I finally gave in & let’s just say it was the best purchase ever. You can wear it year round . It looks best with an off the shoulder sweater or a simple solid cami during Spring/Summer time. Good News , these earrings are on sale for $13 & they are BAUBLEBAR!

Okay, so today I chose to write  a little excerpt about why loving yourself is important. I think we all need to hear these words every now & then. Most of you reading this know exactly what I am talking about. We all know social media has taken over our generation and it has become really hard to establish fairytale from reality. Self image is a main concern for a lot of girls now a days & trying to “fit” in has become the main objective. Well let me tell you something. God created YOU in a very unique way. We are all the same in God’s eyes no matter what we see in the mirror. Being DIFFERENT & the UNIQUE you is the best you can be. You have to love yourself for who you are instead of yearning to look like a photo shopped picture on a magazine. We have all had these moments (including myself) where we are constantly trying to find ways to change our appearance but let’s think about it this way. Wouldn’t you want that satisfaction of being successful being yourself rather than someone you’re not?

Thank you for reading my motivation of the day!

xoxo,

Trendy Kenzie
