Viva Collective

Guys how is the month of May almost over? I mean seriously 2018 is flying by. I'm excited for next month because I turn 26 and we celebrate our 2nd wedding anniversary! I feel like May has been super busy and every weekend I'm either driving to Columbus or Cleveland. For memorial day my college roommates and I are all traveling to Las Vegas for one of our bestie's Bachelorette parties! So I'm impatiently waiting for the weekend to get here.

In other news, I had the opportunity to collaborate with the cutest boutique Viva Collective! I've followed the owner Stephanie on Instagram for almost a year now and she is the sweetest! We connected because she is from Pittsburgh but currently lives in Texas as a military wife. Her boutique is filled with chic items that are perfect for traveling! How many of you truly stress when you have a trip planned and don't know what to wear? I literally online shop weeks and weeks in advance just to get the outfits planned out right!

I styled a few different pieces from her boutique and both of them are currently on sale so be sure to check it out!

The first item I styled was this Fur Mama graphic tee. I mean you guys know how beyond obsessed I am with Remi, so how could I not?! This tee was super soft and comfy for the perfect weekend look. I loved the way it looked with ripped jeans and booties. And yes, I have a Remi purse to match! Right now it's on sale for $20 so definitely go grab one for you and all your fur mama friends!

Next, I styled this feminine chambray top that has the cutest ruffle hem! I love that I can wear this top to work but just as easily wear it to brunch with the girls. Here I've paired it with fringe denim, wedges and statement earrings. Just a side note, my earrings are from my Rocksbox and you can get your first month free with the code: TAYLORCBFF38! This top does run large, so I would size down from what you normally would wear. But at $31 it is the perfect piece to add into your summer wardrobe. 

You guys also need to take a look at her new Santorini Collection! All the pieces are inspired the blue and white buildings in Santorini Greece! It is seriously like the perfect pinterest board of outfit inspiration for your next adventure! Some of my favorites are the Santorini Bag & the Tie Mini Dress.

What are your favorites from Viva Collective? 

Thank you Viva Collective for the opportunity to collaborate! All opinions are my own.

Floral Off the Shoulder Top

Happy Friday! I cannot believe how quickly July went and that next week it's already August! Woah. We've been super busy this summer with weddings and trips, that every weekend has been pretty much booked!

While packing for all these trips, it's hard to think ahead about what outfits to bring. Will I need a brunch outfit, are we going out to dinner, what will the weather be like? All things to be taken into consideration. I love having fun OTS tops to throw in my bag because they're easy to dress up or down. Literally perfect for any scenario. 

So it's safe to say that I'm obsessed with this blue floral OTS top from Tattered & Torn Boutique! It's super lightweight and easy to pair with jeans or shorts! Also the detailing on the back is so pretty. It has a slit that leaves it hanging open which I love!

I did a little print mixing here pairing it with a leopard clutch, ripped jeans and booties! This would be perfect for happy hour or date night. I'm wearing a size medium for reference. You can get 15% off this top or anything on their website with the code TAY&CO .

Also-  how funny is Remi photo bombing these looks!

Some of my other FAVS from Tattered & Torn Boutique are: 

Floral Embroidery Dress- only $34 with the code TAY&CO

Striped Top - only $19 with the code TAY&CO

Multi Color Poncho - only $25 with the code TAY&CO

I hope you guys have a great weekend!

Miss Remi the Frenchie

As many people have seen from my endless snaps & Instagram posts... we got a puppy! The newest Cohen addition is Remi the Frenchie. The cutest little thing I have ever seen. Jonathan actually surprised me with her at the end of March. She even had a little pink bow on her head! For a few weeks only one of her ears stood up (adorable) but since then they have both popped up! I really was worried that we might have to tape them to stand up.. that could have been embarrassing.

So far in the first month she's shown us that she has quite the personality. She loves major cuddle time when she isn't running around the apartment. Remi is also a pro at the side eye. French Bulldogs are known to be very social which has definitely held true with Miss. Remi. She will literally run up to anyone she sees to say hi. Quite the little charmer.

It has definitely been a whirlwind becoming a dog mom so quickly. We had to go out and buy all the supplies, complete with a pink rhinestone collar. She is so spoiled already...oops. In true dog mom fashion of course Miss Remi needed a monthly subscription box! Kai Krates is an affordable dog subscription box that is priced as low as $15/month. Kai Krates comes with 2-3 toys and 2-4 chews each month. I think the best part about a monthly subscription box is that you almost forget about it until it arrives. You don't even have to worry about replacing treats and toys because they are literally delivered to you each month.

Miss Remi has a coupon code for you to get 25% off your first month with the code: "REMI". I can't wait to get Remi signed up for these so she can start receiving her monthly boxes!

So far I've learned being a dog mom is exhausting! I mean obviously she isn't a child but it really feels like it. I think the first week we had her I literally didn't sleep. But now we have her on more of a schedule and she is sleeping through the night! #prouddogmom

If anything I guess we are learning to be more responsible? Probably necessary.. but it is definitely super fun having a bestie by my side all day.
