Bows & Stripes

#heartthis (+ Giveaway!)

{tee: #heartthis c/o; skirt: Anne Klein c/o *On Sale!; Report bow flats: Victoria's Secret *On sale!; necklace: The Oxford Trunk c/o; bracelets: INPINK c/o & Stella&Dot c/o; bag: vintage}

Last week I received this fun #heartthis tee from the sweet Luciana behind the #heartthis etsy shop (formerly known as SmileBabyStudio), and I wore it out to dinner on Friday. I paired it with my fave pleated skirt and my new fave Report flats from Victoria's Secret! Don't they look so much like the Carven flats? Love the bright turquoise color for spring too! Since my tee says "#heartthis" I thought it was only appropriate to show you all who I heart so much -- my sweet baby girl, Courtney. By the way, she turned 3 months earlier this month! Time is flying by -- I cannot believe how fast she is growing. Wish I could just stop time so I could enjoy her tinyness a little longer.


P.S. If you are digging my #heartthis tee then be sure to check out my Instagram (@belledecouture) today, as I'll be posting a pic of this tee. If you want to win a tee for yourself all you have to do is:

Took a stroll by the beach over the weekend, and grabbed some drinks and lunch with some friends. The weather was amazing -- really made me want to put on my bathing suit and lay out on the beach! By the way, how cute are my new green flats? My fave color! Love the bows and the pointed toe -- so chic & fun! Bow flats are becoming a pretty popular trend right now... I'm seeing them everywhere.
