Hi guys! I'm finally back from my extended break with another Stitch Fix try on session. No, we didn't travel back in time; I 100% meant to post this months ago and just didn't get around to it. I can't believe it's already August and summer is almost over! At the beginning of May I asked my Stitch Fix stylist to send me a few pieces that would be perfect for the summer weather and I was pretty happy with her picks. Continue reading to see what she sent and how you get $25 towards your first Stitch Fix!

Earning Our Stripes

While brainstorming ideas for this blog post I came across this quote from Joyce Armor, "Think of stretch marks as pregnancy service stripes." It made me think twice about my body and everything it has gone through, including giving birth to a little human.

Fall Florals for Two

I can't believe we're in the middle of September! There's a slight fall chill in the air (thanks Hurricane Florence), so that means summer is really coming to an end. Fall is my favorite season and I can't wait to really get into a #FallFeels mood!

The Best Lilly Pulitzer Styles for Breastfeeding Mamas

It's officially summer and, if you haven't already, time to pull out all of those beautiful Lilly Pulitzer pieces in your closet! Lately, I've been obsessed with all the new prints like Mermaids Cove, Pinch Pinch, and Jet Stream. As I was browsing a Lilly BST (buy, sell, trade) group on Facebook (no doubt trying to expand my collection of items in my all-time favorite prints, Fan Sea Pants and So Snappy), a member posed a question about the best Lilly pieces for breastfeeding mamas. It was a great question that NEEDS answers since it's prime Lilly-wearing time, so I did all the dirty work and came up with 10 Lilly Pulitzer pieces that are perfect  for breastfeeding mamas. Whether you wear your Lilly to work or a (not so) quick trip to the grocery store, these are the pieces that will make nursing or pumping a little bit easier. These are not all of the styles that would work for breastfeeding or pumping, but my personal go to styles that I know have worked for me or other women.

The Best Facial Cleanser for Glowing Summer Skin

Don't tell fall, but I'm having a love affair with summer. I love it for all the same reasons I love autumn: the weather is (usually) great and I can have fun with my fashion and beauty choices. In my personal opinion, the best summer accessory is hydrated, glowing skin. Baking in the sun to achieve the perfect summer glow is very low on my summer bucket list, so I was lucky enough to stumble across a facial cleanser that gave my skin a goddess-like glow.

Even though it's September, I couldn't resist posting one last summer look. This one is one of my all-time favorites so I don't know what took me so long to share it with you all! This outit is everything I love about summer - bright colors, tropical inspiration, and uber relaxed.

Labor Day White + 9 Ways to Wear White After Labor Day

For as long as I can remember, my mother instilled in me that white was NOT to be work after Labor Day. I never questioned her, but I often wondered why I couldn't wear my favorite white Mary Janes after the summer. Fast forward to 2017 and I am still hesitant to keep this color in my wardrobe once we reach the end of August. However, I made a promise to myself to step outside te box more often when it comes to my style which is why I'm sharing this all white ensemble with you all today!

Summer is so close to being over and I almost can't believe it. We're so close to fall and that means we're even closer to fall fashion. One of my favorite ways to transition to fall fashion is to incorporate more jewel tones into my wardrobe. Think darker, moodier hues like burgundy, navy, emerald, and, my new favorite, spicy mustard. This color has been a fall staple for years and I can totally see why!

Truly Yours, A. Turned 2!

Truly Yours, A. officially turned 2 on July 11th, but I was a little busy with McKenna's arrival so I didn't have time to celebrate or put up this post! I still find it hard to believe that 2 years ago I decided to put all my fears behind me and just start this blog. I was 100% sure that nobody would even care about what I had to say and that blogging would be another hobby I would give up after a few months. I'm so glad I didn't listen to that pessimistic voice inside my head because has been an amazing 2 year journey. I've had more than my share of hiatuses, but I've always come back because I truly love writing and sharing it all with you guys. Today's post isn't just about how many years this blog has been on the internet, but a culmination of everything I've learned over the past couple of years as well. Keep reading for little bits of blogging advice and a colorful style look, too!

Denim & Drusy

Drusy stones are one of my new favorite trends in jewelry (the other is rose gold, but more about that later). These glittering stones are perfect for adding a little sparkle to any outfit without being in-you-face like a diamond. It won't matter what day of the week it is and you'll catch me in a piece of drusy jewelry. I truly haven't met a drusy that I didn't like! Luckily (unlucky for my wallet), my job allows me to indulge in all things shiny and rocky. Today's post is all about combining my current obsessions: drusy jewelry and denim ensembles! 

Truly Yours, A. Turns 1!

Today is a very special occasion in my little corner of the Internet: my blog turns 1! Exactly one year ago today, I published my first blog post. It was a Truly My Way post all about my plans for expanding my blog's reach before I even had any. Since then my blog has come a long way: it has evolved into fashion, beauty, and lifestyle blog where I can show my love for shopping, trying out new products, and my random musings. I've had the chance to partner with some amazing brands and meet bloggers who inspire me. One of those bloggers is Stephanie from Drunk on Vogue who shot these gorgeous photos! Not only is she an awesome blogger, but she's a wonderful photographer as well. She picked out this beautiful location which complimented my vacation-ready look perfectly!

We've got less than a week left until we celebrate the summer's biggest holiday - the 4th of July! I love seeing people decked out in red, white, and blue, but I rarely wear these colors on this holiday. This year I promised myself I would add a few patriotic pieces to my closet so I can celebrate in style. This time of year is usually spent outside especially when it's time for fireworks! I've gathered a few of my favorite pieces that will keep you comfortable, cool, and show off your American spirit no matter where you're headed. Keep reading to see my red, white, and blue favorites for the 4th of July!

Keeping It Natural with JORD

*This post is sponsored by JORD Wooden Watches. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This summer is all about natural textures and patterns for me: snake print, straw handbags, and now wooden watches! I was recently contacted by the good people at JORD Watches and asked if I would like to try out one of their gorgeous timepieces. I said YES without a second thought and I'm so glad I did! It's definitely a unique watch and conversation starter. A lot of people wonder if it's heavy or made from cheap materials and the answer to both questions is no! It's a light watch so it doesn't feel like I'm carrying a log around on my wrist, but it's made from natural Zebrawood and Maple so it will last and last. Keep reading to see how you can win a voucher towards a JORD wood watch of your very own!

Straight Outta...

Raiders Tee  | Gray Skirt  | Jordan XII Low | Gold Necklace

You probably can't tell from my previous posts but I LOVE sneakers. New Balance, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, I love them all! This look was 100% inspired by the movie "Straight Outta Compton." Its a bio-pic about the hip hop group NWA. Throughout the 90s they could always be seen wearing black and grey with gold chains and they always repped their hometown by wearing Raiders or LA Kings apparel. I haven't seen it yet, but it's definitely on my Must See list! The t-shirt actually belongs to my boyfriend (shhhh!), but he never wears it so I don't feel guilty for borrowing it. What movie are you dying to see? Let me know in the comments below!

Draped Skirt

Summer is coming to a close and I must admit that I'm not sad about it one bit. Summer is one the busier times in my life with work and (lack of) social life. The only thing I'll miss is the warmer weather and chances to wear outfits like this. Animal print is one of my guilty pleasures. I'd wear it everyday if I could! I decided to dress it up with an asymmetrical draped skirt I bought off eBay. It's so edgy and comfy I'm a little disappointed that I didn't try to wear it more this summer.

Tank H&M | Draped Skirt Ebay | Gladiator Sandals Target | Bag H&M

To keep the look casual I opted for a pair of gladiator sandals, but I could easily see myself throwing on a pair of wedges to make this more dressy. I rarely use purses during the summer, but as the weather cools down I find myself carrying around a lot more. This large tote from H&M is perfect for all the bits and bobs that I need to lug around!

Fall is Coming!

Striped Shirt J. Crew | Cargo Pants Target | Sneakers Converse

There was a chill in the air this morning that made me smile deep inside. Fall is my FAVORITE season and I'm so happy it's almost here. I can't wait to wear cute boots, sweaters and jackets! These cargo pants are a staple transitional piece in my wardrobe. I love to pair the olive green with navy and burgundy. Today I wore them with a super comfy J. Crew striped top and my well-worn Converse. I think this look screams 'I'm ready for fall!" What do you think?

  

Crazy for Camo

Camo T-Shirt Target (Similar) | Boyfriend Jeans Mossimo | Lace-Up Wedges Sam & Libby Arianna Sandal (Similar)

Another casual, comfortable outfit from yours truly! I love a good pair of boyfriend jeans and this pair from Target is perfect. I love the distressing on the front and that I can roll them up without looking too mom-ish. I decided to pair them with my wedge sandals from Sam & Libby. Can you believe I've only worn these beauties ONCE? With the summer winding down I'm trying to get as much use out of them as possible.

Lots of Lilly

 I first saw this skirt on Sugar and Something's blog and it's been on my mind ever since. Since it was an old post, I knew I wouldn't be able to find the skirt anywhere :( Thanks to the powers that be I found the skirt on Vinted! I told you guys I loved this app!! If you don't have it I highly encourage you to check it out.
