One Fine Day

Happy Friday! This is what I wore to my sister's college graduation a few weeks back - I never got around to dedicating a post to it, so here it is! I'll admit these are not my favorite pictures...the lighting really wasn't great, and my phone camera was glitching. Oh well! The dress is cute, comfortable, and affordable, which is perfect for a summer occasion. I love the fabric that belts around the waist to cinch it tighter. You could even wear it unbelted for a looser fit. It comes in a pink & white too, which you guys know is one of my all-time favorite combos! And let me just tell you....thank the Lord I brought my trusty straw hat because the sun was brutal. We sat in the bleachers directly facing it for about 2.5 hours 🤣

As you may have seen over on my Instastories (@heysweetkay), I've been at Disneyland quiteeeee a bit hahah. It turns out that Disney unexpectedly changed our Deluxe annual pass schedule and blocked out summer, probably because Star Wars Land just opened. We've been really upset because we paid double the price to have access during June, July, and August, and it ended up being a total waste of money! Unfortunately, it's "in the small print" of our contract that they are allowed to add & remove blockout dates for any reason. MAJOR eye roll 🙄

Anyway, I ordered a bunch of new Amazon items for Vegas next week and I'm sooo excited about them!! I can't wait to post up all my content from there - hopefully everything I got will work out haha. Have a great weekend! xoxo

Happy Monday everyone! I am ready for a productive week, beginning with today's post. I shared this $15 lavender dress on Instagram a few days ago but wanted to give you more details here. It's off-the-shoulder in the best way, meaning the sleeves don't pop up when you lift your arms! I love the smocking, and the skirt flows and falls away making it perfect for a hot summer day. The daisy pattern is so cute, too! I wanted to show it to you with and without a jean jacket, because I love it both ways. It also comes in a dainty light green and in plus size as well.






PS - how adorable is this bag with the beach doggies?! I love the ones on the surfboards...of course it's from Home Goods 😉



In other news, I am DYING to see the new Aladdin. I've been hearing such great things about it, I can't wait to get to the theater. I'm heading out for a long, busy day....that's all for now! xoxo

If you follow me over on Instagram (username: @heysweetkay), you've probably notice that I've been finding some great pieces from Amazon. I rounded them up all together in this post for your convenience. It's become my new favorite place to order from, just because the deals are unbeatable, the quality is generally decent, if not great, and everything on Prime gets to my front door in no more than 2 days for free. Here's what I've posted the past few weeks:

Ruffle Flounce Bikini
Amazon swimwear has been the #1 best seller around here, just because the suits are SO cute and are incredibly affordable! One of my favorite bloggers, Mrs. Casual, shared a code that put one of the two pieces at 50% off for just $11.99. A few of you ordered it, and I did too! I took it with me to the Disneyland Hotel. PS - my palm print kimono is from TJ Maxx, but this one from Amazon looks a lot like it and is only $15.



High Waisted Floral Swimsuit
This next one is my FAV-OR-ITE....I can't get over how cute it is with the little ruffle detailing. The top bandeau has great coverage & support (with padding), and the straps are removable and adjustable. The bottoms are high waisted, so you can eat all the snacks you want at the beach without your tummy hanging out. They're also slightly cheeky, and while I definitely prefer more coverage in the back it's nothing too bad. Only $23!



Rattan Earrings
I've posted these earrings several times because they're just that good. $11, very lightweight, & versatile! The straw/rattan look is on major trend and goes with pretty much anything. Amazon has a lot of great options just like these that I'll be ordering...I posted them below if you're interested.



Polka Dot Shorts
I brought these shorts with me to Disneyland because I always love to wear Mickey-inspired outfits to the parks. They're only $10 and feel light as air - perfect for a hot day! Find my $12 Minnie Mouse shirt here.


White Midi Dress

White Mini Dress

Sam Edelman 'Christina' Platform Sneakers
These popular shoes are both a slip-on sneaker and an espadrille. Sam Edelman is one of my favorite shoe designers, and most sizes are on sale for only $36!


That's all for today! I'm going to Vegas in a few weeks, so I'm putting together several poolside looks from Amazon. I'm so excited for all the cute, budget-friendly swimsuits, coverups, and bags! Stay tuned ❤️ xoxo

Hello friends!! I'm sorry I wasn't around here last week - I had a lot going on between my sister's graduation, my mom's birthday, going to Disneyland, etc. so I decided to put a brief pause on blogging for a few days. Anyway! As you may have seen from my Instastories, we treated my mom to a stay at the Disneyland hotel for her birthday, and it was a dream come true. It was our first stay there and was the BEST!!







We also went for a swim, and the water felt so smooth and conditioned on my skin because it's actually a saltwater pool. It was very warm too, just like bath water. One thing I love about their pool area is the unlimited towels...the pool crew even periodically offers to swap out your wet towels for dry ones. They also hand you your own bottle of sunblock at the gate, which was great because I forgot to bring some. PS - my swimsuit is HERE for only $23.99 and this kimono looks just like mine (mine is from TJ Maxx). I also wore my tried & true sun hat, which was perfect for that day!


Each Disney hotel has a water slide, and the Disneyland Hotel has a monorail slide that happened to be under construction and was scheduled to reopen sometime in May. We hoped it would be ready by the time of our stay on the 23rd-24th, but when we arrived it was still closed. It was pretty disappointing, but they did offer us access to the big slide at the Paradise Pier hotel. So, we planned to head over there after spending some time at our hotel pool. While we were hanging out, a lifeguard came around and said, "ATTENTION! THE MONORAIL SLIDE IS NOW OPEN!" It was such a nice surprise for my mom's birthday! You can see the slides (there are actually two) behind me in the photo below.

The slide was so.much.FUN. Even though I was freezing up there! Hahah you have to climb up kind of high to go down the slide, and while you're waiting in line, dripping wet, in just a swimsuit, it gets chilly. I can imagine it feeling great on a 100 degree day, though. Guess I'll have to go back in August hehe.

I'm kicking myself for not taking more photos of the pool area...it didn't occur to me because I was taking tons of video footage instead. I really want to put a whole vlog together from our stay, so I'm piecing together all the clips I took. If you remember a few posts back, I talked about making a Texas vlog. I actually finished it about a month ago but never posted it....I chickened out! Should I post it??

Hope you enjoyed your Memorial Day weekend ❤️ I went to a Greek festival that happens at the Greek Orthodox Church in my town every year....can't beat the food & dancing! Then we celebrated Megan's graduation with family who couldn't make it the week prior. Looking forward to getting back to my usual programming around here with some outfit posts! xoxo

Happy Friday, friends! This post came together kind of spur-of-the-moment....I was at 3rd street Promenade in Santa Monica and stopped into Urban Outfitters, and I saw tons of cute dresses! So I thought, why not try them on for your all? I included 7 dresses in this haul, but there were lots of other ones that I loved too. I linked them all at the very bottom, so be sure to check out that widget! PS - for sizing reference, I am 5"4.5 and typically wear an XS/0.
