New Young Women’s Theme

Purchase the 18 x 24 Print of the New Young Women’s Theme

What an amazing and uplifting conference weekend! I always enjoy listening to conference and this conference came with many changes. When President Nelson announced that there would be changed made to the youth programs I was intrigued. I am the Young Women’s President in my ward so I was all ears! When President Nelson stated we had to wait until the Women’s session of conference to hear the changes, I waited anxiously. President Nelson said the adjustments are intended to help young men and young women develop their sacred personal potential.

Sister Cordon who made the announcements said, “The First Presidency and the Twelve are united in endorsing these efforts to strengthen our youth.” Sister Cordon also went on to said, “At the heart of all we do in Young Women is our desire to help you gain unshakable faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ and a sure knowledge of your divine identity as a daughter of God.”

The Young Women’s program in my ward is very small compared to wards like in Utah. A lot of the changes, such as combining classes wasn’t too shocking since we already do that due to the limited number of girls. One of the most shocking and exciting revelations was the new Young Women’s Theme! The new Young Women’s theme has some phrases from the previous theme but the new phrases that have been added focus on personal revelation, ministering, repentance and the temple.

I’ve created the above new theme in a Poster version to print for my Young Women’s room. You can now purchase it on my Etsy shop. If you want a custom color background please message me and I’ll be happy to alter.

Rachel Parcell Dresses

Similar Rachel Parcell Dress: Lace, Midi | Sam Edelman Heels

The latest Rachel Parcell dresses for Nordstrom might be my favorite thus far. The dreamy romantic prints and colors had me dying! I wanted every single piece but I ended up buying four dresses and one of the puff sleeve tops. The gorgeous dress above is sadly sold out, but I’m obsessed with the girly chic vibes. You know I’m a sucker for all things ruffle and lace so this was a dream for me. I’ve linked some of the other cute pink dresses from the latest release.

My second favorite dress from the Rachel Parcell collection was this gorgeous blue floral print dress. I’ve always loved blue floral on white and this dress does not disappoint. Besides the gorgeous print, the statement sleeves are just too cute! This dress is still in stock and under $90! Hurry and grab this amazing dress before it’s gone.

Ivy City Co.

The Vera Dress in Mauve: Ivy City Co. (Use Code: “Tia” for 15% off site wide.)

I’m so excited to be collaborating with Ivy City Co. for today’s church outfit. I kept seeing these adorable moms in matching dresses with their daughters so I did some stalking. The adorable matching dresses came from Ivy City Co. and I was immediately obsessed.

One of the girls in church today came up to me and told me how much she loved my dress, it was the cutest. This gorgeous Vera Dress from their collection is so stunning. It’s made of high quality material and has the cutest fit. I instantly fell in love with the gorgeous mauve color and I loved the circle lace. The sleeves have the cutest tie detail and the dress is fully lined. This dress does come in a mini version so if you have a daughter this would be the cutest matching set!

Amazon Fashion Finds

Lark & Ro Women’s Short Sleeve A-line Peplum Dress | Sam Edelman Heel

This dress is not only modest and cute, but it’s super comfortable. I loved the floral print and as soon as I put it on, the fit was amazing. The dress does come with a small black belt that you can add, but I wore it without and love this dress so much.

Nine West Women’s Bell Sleeve Dress with Ruffle Skirt | Sam Edelman Pump | Pearl Clip

This Nine West dress is another amazing steal that I found! I absolutely love the gorgeous lilac color and the ruffle hem is amazing. This dress is also super comfortable and perfect for a wedding guest dress. The material has some stretch and is a medium weight material and not see through.

Amerii Ata Bag

Shop: Amerii Ata Bag

You know I have a love for bags! I was so excited when Amerii reached out and gifted me this gorgeous bag. The Amerii Ata Bag is the perfect bag for Summer. I love the vintage vibe and the large size allows you to actually have a functional purse. With the large size I’m able to fit my entire Prada wallet plus a couple essential items.

“This boho bag is made with fine leather and has a button down closure so you can house your things safely and stylishly. Each carefully woven bag tells a story, while going through the process of hand weaving and drying on a coconut fire to arrive at its final color.” I absolutely love the attention to detail and the fact that it’s 100% handmade is mind-blowing. This piece of art is stunning and I absolutely love the fun colorful interior.

All of the bags are high quality but at a super affordable and reasonable price point. Another thing about Amerii is that they support and empower local Indonesian artisans. “The bags are purchased directly from the weavers promoting fair trade. All weavers are fairly compensated which allows them to keep on following their passions while providing for their families.”

JoyLab Tie Dye Set

JoyLab Tie Dye Set: Tie Dye Bra, Tie Dye Seamless Leggings, Lightweight Jacket | Sneakers: APL

Can we talk about this adorable JoyLab tie dye set! I saw the pink set in store but they were sold out of my size. I ran online to see if they had them in stock and they had all three colors fully in stock! I snagged two of the three colors and I’m obsessed. I love this set because you can look cute in the gym, throw on a jacket and easily transition it into a street look.

The tie dye bra is super comfortable. It’s a halter top that fits amazing. I will warn you that it doesn’t come with pads so you’ll have to use your own. This bra is also for low impact workouts or just athleisure wear. I wore my set to the gym this morning to lift and it was perfect. If you are doing a workout class or cardio I personally don’t think this would offer enough support. I typically wear a medium in sports bras and I honestly could size down to a small in this one because it’s not overly tight.

Not only is the bra comfortable but the matching tie dye leggings are such an amazing fit! I have a small torso so with the bra being longer and the leggings being high-waisted, it doesn’t leave too much of my stomach showing which I personally prefer. These high-waisted leggings stayed up my entire leg day workout with no issues. Sometimes high-waisted leggings are too tight and restrictive or too loose and roll down. These leggings fit me amazing and were snug to stay up without cutting off my circulation. I am 5’4 and wearing a size small in these leggings.

Heading to and from the gym I added this adorable white wind breaker jacket to complete my look. The jacket is light weight and perfect as a quick cover up.

The Perfect Summer Midi Dress

Midi Dress: R. Vivmos | Sandals: Steve Madden | Denim Jacket: Abercrombie & Fitch

This R. Vivimos short sleeve v neck floral dress is the perfect summer midi dress! Not only is the cut and fit amazing, but the floral print is to die for. The bright colors and adorable print are what attracted me immediately. For those wondering, this is a short sleeve dress. Amazon has been my go to lately for quick and easy Summer dresses. I’m waiting on a few more to come in and then I’ll do a full Amazon haul on my Instagram for easy swipe up shopping. Also one of the main questions I get about all of the Amazon finds that I post about is sizing. I’m 5’4 and it hits right below my knees. I’m also wearing a size small and it fits perfect in the chest. Currently the dress is still in stock in three sizes, so hurry before it’s sold out.

This dress is going to be my go to all Summer! It’s light weight for those warm days and if you throw a denim jacket over the top for the cool morning or evening’s you’re good to go! This denim jacket is my new favorite as well. Last week Abercrombie & Fitch had a huge sale so I decided to walk in and browse. I haven’t shopped in that store since I was in high school but I saw this denim jacket and loved the fit! I also think this denim jacket is the perfect wash for Spring and Summer.

Lark & Ro Women’s Classic Long Sleeve Wrap Dress

Women’s Classic Long Sleeve Wrap Dress: Lark & Ro | Similar Purses: Nordstrom Rack, Brandon Blackwood, Marc Cross, Steven Alan Meryl, Nordstrom Rack | Similar Ankle Strap Heels: Sam Edelman, Tony Bianco, Jeffrey Campbell

I found the cutest Lark & Ro women’s classic long sleeve wrap dress on Amazon! Not only is this dress high quality and super flattering, but it’s on sale! This gorgeous wrap dress also comes in more than ten colors. You’re bound to find a color or print that you love. I am wearing a size small and absolutely love the fit of this dress. The dress comes with an adjustable self belt which allows you to cinch in at the waist to give some shape. This dress is ultra comfortable so you won’t have to feel restricted or uncomfortable.

This gorgeous dress makes for the perfect polished essential wear to work dress. I wore this dress to stake conference over the weekend and everyone loved the bright color and the cute fit. Due to the v-neck and if you wear garments, I wore a slip to ensure nothing shows.

Rachel Parcell Chateau Dress

Chateau Dress: Rachel Parcell | Ankle Strap Sandals: Jeffrey Campbell

This gorgeous Rachel Parcell Chateau Dress is my new obsession! When she teased this dress on Instagram I was so anxious to get my hands on it. I wore this dress to church on Sunday and got nonstop compliments. All the ladies were obsessed with the color and fit of the dress and kept asking where they could find it. The color of the dress is so dreamy and perfect for any season in my opinion. This really is the perfect elegant and feminine dress that will make you feel so pretty.

I love this dress because it’s the cutest design. The faux buttons down the front paired with the smocking along the sleeves and ruffle detail are just too perfect. This dress is very similar to Rachel’s blue Hydrangea dress which I wasn’t able to get my hands on.
