My Newfoundland Dog is on TikTok

Happy Saturday Darling,

WHAT. A. WEEK! This week my Newfoundland dog, Sammy, went viral on TikTok with a video I made about his favorite enrichment toy. So far it has 3.4 MILLION views … so crazy right?

This lick bowl is great for keeping my dog occupied. He’s currently recovering from a surgery so anything that keeps his mind stimulated is perfect. I usually use this bowl with peanut butter or Greek yogurt. Here are a few of his other favorite toys.

Okay okay, enough about Sammy and his toys. Let’s get back to talking fashion. This super simple look is perfect for a casual day. All you need are bike shorts, a cute message tee, a denim jacket, a pair of sneakers, and you’re ready to go! I got this whole outfit at my local Tanger Outlets. The shorts are Under Armour and my tee is from HM. The Tanger Outlets have been having some AWESOME sales and is cautious of keeping everything clean so I felt safe shopping there!

Be sure to follow me and my pup on TikTok and Instagram!

Blue Leopard Print

Happy Monday Darling,

Is anyone else a culprit of loving something so much that you need it in every color and style? Well that’s me with this blue leopard print! I love this print so much that I had to have every option in it. These dresses are all affordable and can easily be dressed up or down, too!

Which style is your favorite?

Stay tuned for some fun Fall styles coming your way!

Stay Flawless,

Carly

Denim Dresses to wear this Fall

Happy Monday Darling!

Tristan and I spent the weekend at the lake with our newfound Sammy and had such a nice time. It’s finally starting to get a little cooler around here and dresses are always my go-to.

I got this adorable tiered denim dress at Gabe’s for less than $12. Gabe’s has the cutest dresses and sweaters for Fall as well as adorable Fall home decor. Be sure to check out their Instagram for some outfit and decor inspo!

I accessorized my dress with a tote and a matching rattan headband. Such an easy outfit for early Fall.

Check out some of my favorite denim dresses to wear this Fall.

What’s your go-to fall piece?

Custom Pet Hat

Hey there Darling!

How CUTE are these custom pet hats?! The first pictures are of my and my newfound, Sammy. The last picture is of my sister and her golden retriever, Harley (he was named after a misspelling on my Starbucks cup LOL)

Emma had these custom pet hats embroidered for us! I can’t think of anything cuter than having your pup on your hat. She had our names embroidered on the back, too.

I’m not teaming up with any brands or doing anything crazy, I just really love these hats so I decided to give 2 of them away on my Instagram! If you want to win one for you and your dog (or cat) mom bestie, head over to my insta and tag a friend!

Have a great weekend and good luck winning the custom pet hat giveaway!

What to wear in early Fall

Hello Darling!

And just like that, it is September! This summer went way to quick. It’s that time of year when you need a sweater in the morning and you’re hot and uncomfortable by the afternoon, ugh! It’s the time of year when you‘re craving pumpkin spice, but have to order the cold brew version.

This blue dress has been my go-to all season long, and just because it’s now September doesn’t mean it’s going away! To style it for the new season, I swapped out my wedges for booties and added a denim jacket. Such an easy way to make a summer piece last a little longer!
