My Best Friend's Baby Shower | Lion King Theme

Today's post is dedicated to my best friend's baby shower. She was in love with the Lion King theme so much so, that we decided to search Pinterest high and low for inspiration and found tons of beautiful decorations. We had a committee of four or five really good friends who all came together and made this amazing day happen. One of the girls is super creative and talented so she naturally took over the decoration aspect of the party. She made all of the beautiful diaper cakes and a really pretty balloon arch that I didn't snap (insert sad emoji). I decided to snap a few pictures of the event to remember how much love and care went into this whole day. 

The Lion King book was used as a guest book which was another great idea we found on Pinterest. Besides signing the book I think a number of people also wrote a little something to the mother to be or the baby. Such a cute idea!!!

Having finger foods at a baby shower is such a great idea because you don't have to worry about feeding everyone a whole meal. You make it buffet style so everyone can help themselves at anytime. We had around 40 or 50 guests so a formal lunch would have been super hectic and added stress we did not need. The desserts were super delicious and beautifully decorated by a friend of a friend. My favorite's were the chocolate covered strawberries and the cupcakes. Can you believe we also had  cake after all those sweets!?!? I didn't get a pictures of that either, I guess I must have been sleeping or having too much fun!   

I must give a huge thanks to the family and gracious hostess who let us use her beautiful home. Everything turned out so perfectly and I can still remember all the love everyone exuded because of one little girl who hasn't even been born yet. I didn't take many pictures of the mother to be opening her gifts because I'm still not a pro at taking pictures in such low light since the sun had gone down by this time. Hope you all enjoy this little recap and thanks to all the girls who helped put this  party together because we all played an intricate part in making the person we love very happy.

Moments Of Chic

Jacket ℅ Piperlime / Dress ℅ Piperlime / Heels: Target / Belt: Altuzarra via Target

Yay, it's the weekend and we survived the big storm in California!! Today I have teamed up with Piperlime to bring you some of my favorite pieces from their fall collection. If your not familiar with Piperlime, it is an online women's apparel and accessories brand offering a variety of different products, labels, and price points to fit anyones closet. I fell in love with their cross front dress which was short in the front and long in the back, almost like a mullet dress. The print is even prettier in person and it definitely needed a belt because it didn't lay as nicely as it did on the model. So, I added my thick belt from the Altuzarra for Target collection which helped give my body shape in this flowy dress. It was warm the day I shot this look so the jacket was not used very much. To the jacket's credit it is definitely a perfect little black jacket for fall because it is light weight but keeps you nice and warm, plus you have all these little zippers and compartments to keep everything you need handy. BTW everything I'm wearing from Piperlime is currently 30% to 50% off.

Camel Boots

Sweater: H&M (old) / Skort: Forever 21 / Boots: Zara / Bag: Gift

Today's outfit is all about my new camel colored boots from Zara. I can't even tell you how obsessed I am with these boots!! I have literally been planning my outfits around these gorgeous boots. Some of the many reasons I love these boots are because they are super stylish, the color is very "on trend" and goes with virtually everything, they are the most comfortable heel boots I own, they are made out of great quality material which means they will last me a very long time, and they match my hermes inspired bag perfectly. I am literally wearing these boots as I write this post and I just love them! I bought them on black friday when Zara had 30% off everything in the store and I am kicking myself for not buying the black ones too but they are so amazing I am willing to shell out full price for them. So, the black ones are on there way. I know I sound crazy but I love fashion and when I find something as spectacular as this I have to share it with all of you. I paired the boots with my usual go to skort and an oversized sweater I bought from H&M three or four years ago. Hope everyone has a great weekend and don't forget to follow me on instagram @TrueHonestFashion !!

Trench On Repeat

Trench Coat: H&M / Top: LC Lauren Conrad  Kohl's / Skort: Forever 21 / Heels: Simply Vera via Kohl's (very old, great options below)

This past weekend was so much fun. Four of us threw my best friend a baby shower and it turned out so perfect. It was great catching up with old friends and meeting new ones. You could feel all the love in the room and I'm so excited to be Aunty Shirley very soon, not by blood but relation (Jay Z voice).

I shot this outfit a few weekends ago but I haven't had a chance to post it until now. I've been a busy busy bee from helping plan the baby shower to planning my wedding and working a semi full time job. I struggle to find the balance but I promise I will find it, and when I do I will share the secret with all of you. Now, lets talk about my unhealthy addiction to this white skort. Its one of the most used pieces in my closet because it so comfortable and white goes with every color under the sun. I decided to pair it with this beautiful feminine top from the LC Lauren Conrad collection at Kohls. Since it's fall I threw on a trench coat which has been on repeat this whole season. I live for a good flowy trench coat! Tan pumps completed this soft look for a brunch date with my honey at our favorite spot, Claire's at the Museum.

I hope everyone had a great weekend filled with lots of love and positive vibes! Let's keep the good vibes going through the work week!!
