Happy Monday Babes!

Your search for the perfect button-up with no gapping is over. The Hero Shirt was engineered for women, by a woman. Audrey McLoghlin, the founder of Grayson saw an opportunity to reinvent this classic wardrobe staple for women and she nailed it. From fit to feel, comfort to quality…it’s everything you are looking for. I have a lot of button-ups in different styles because there are so many ways to wear them and they are timeless. That said, until Grayson I had never owned one as comfortable and lightweight that gives me as much versatility.

When someone from Grayson emailed me in February and asked if I would like to try a sample shirt, I of course said “yes, please”. I’ve been hooked ever since. What I love even more is that the founder is passionate about building a company by women, for women. She had a decade of experience in luxury shirting, so she knows whats up.

So lets talk styling this classic wardrobe staple. Are you sassy? Or simple? As a mom, I’m both, but I prefer sassy & bold. 😉 I’ve shown you both a sassy and a simple way to wear the same shirt below. If you follow me on Instagram you know I love these shirts and style them every which way. Sporty, chic, as swim cover-up…tucked in, half tucked, tied, loose over a dress, etc. Make sure you follow me @stylingbyerica and @grayson to keep seeing ways to style the Hero Shirt and to stay in the know about sales and giveaways. On that note, who else besides me loves a discount code?! I mean, hopefully everyone. Well I have a treat for you…Today – August 15th only, use code ERICA25 and receive 25% off all full priced shirts!! Head over to Grayson.com to shop the collection now. You can also shop my looks on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app {stylingbyerica}. Happy shopping friends!

It’s already full on Summer in Arizona with temps in the triple digits. I’m starting to stock up on swimsuits and cover ups since you can’t have too many living here! That said, I want to keep it budget friendly as well since I like to have options. 🙂

I love this neutral floral print kimono cover up I found on Amazon Prime for $16.99 and its finally back in stock! I got this suit from Lulu’s last year but its still available and I found a very similar style on Amazon as well. I’ve linked everything I’m wearing at the bottom of this post.

If you follow me on Instagram you probably saw my post this morning about presets. I used the ‘Fashion Lady’ preset from @nickypresets for these images. You can browse and shop the preset collections HERE and use code ‘erica20’ for 20% off!

I hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Hi Friends!

I LOVE bodysuits and you guys have been loving the orange and denim I’ve been showing lately; so I wanted to give you the links for this look here as well since LTK doesn’t link Zara pieces. I want one of every bodysuit from Zara in every color, for real! I’m wearing a medium in both of mine for reference. This style fits larger than the one in my previous post, but they are both stretchy.

I have a hard time with jeans and generally prefer dresses, so when I find a pair I love I wear them on repeat. Josiah also likes me in jeans, so it’s fun to put together date night looks with denim. 🙂 I was sold on the wash of these jeans, then I tried them on and they were so comfortable! Wash + fit/comfort + under $50 price tag = WIN! I think a bodysuit always pairs well with denim and its fuss free since there no tucking, bunching, etc. Make it sexier with a plunging neckline or open back. For date night I always add heels to complete my look, but this look would also be cute with sandals or sneakers. These Old Navy jeans are currently 30% off! They are seriously comfy and have just enough stretch to be bearable during the hot desert months. Outfit links at the bottom of this post!

Happy Weekend Friends!

Our family took a little day trip to Sedona yesterday and we had the best day! Sedona is absolutely beautiful and the weather was gorgeous. It was pretty windy but felt amazing. There is so much to see and do in Sedona so we barely scratched the surface! If you have never been for sure add it to your list if you are ever in Arizona.

Since we went with the kids I knew I needed to be comfortable but I really didn’t want to wear athletic wear. A bodysuit is always my first choice since it stays in place and allows me to really move with the kids. These my favorite denim shorts I’ve ever owned and worth every penny! I bought them as a birthday gift for myself three years ago and I’ve worn them on repeat all Summer long since and they are still going strong. True denim will last, but it does give so size down. This style truly looks good on everyone and if you want to invest and have that one pair of shorts you can grab, throw on and feel good in every day these are it. Always wash in cold water and flat or hang dry {I rarely wash mine}. I received lots of messages and comments about these shorts and this look so I’ve linked everything at the bottom of this post. 🙂

Have you been to Sedona? If so I would love to know what your favorite place or trail there is. We plan on going back often and next time we want to visit different spots. Here are the few spots we went to and highly recommend!

Little Horse Trail {fun for kiking, biking, views}
Grasshopper Point {have $9 cash for parking, wear a swimsuit if you want to go in the water, wear water shoes with grips for walking on the rocks to get to the water}
Oaxaca Restaurant {amazing Mexican food with gorgeous views from the patio}
Chapel of the Holy Cross {beautiful views}

I hope everyone is having a fun and safe holiday weekend!

Hi Friends!

I’ve showed this suit a lot on Instagram and that’s because its one I always reach for. I love a suit with detachable straps, especially when it stays up without them {a must for moms}. 😉 Anyone who knows me knows I rarely meet a stripe I don’t like, so combine that with the bit of frills and its the perfect blend of sporty and girly. This suit is always good for days when I don’t feel my best or my wax isn’t perfect. The bit of frill detail adds a little extra coverage. I actually have this suit in the rusty brown as well! It’s $29.99 on Amazon Prime but sizing is very limited right now for all color options. I’m sure they will restock, but you never know so if you’re a medium grab it now!

You already know I’m obsessed with these sunglasses and all of my Amazon Fashion accessories. I’ve been living in jewelry finds from Amazon! The price is right and I’ve been really happy with the quality. Shop my look at the bottom of this post, including the visor that I’ve been sporting on repeat. Also remember you can always find all of my Amazon favorites for the family {+Follow me} on my personal Amazon page.

Happy Saturday!

I put this look here because this slip dress is my absolute favorite and LIKEtoKNOWit doesn’t let you link ZARA items. I bought this dress a few months ago and I seriously might need to buy a back up. It’s amazing for $40! I wore it last night for date night and I always feel fab in a slip style dress. They are super versatile and can be dressed up or down, plus easy to layer.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!

Happy Friday Friends!

So you guys, I’m not usually a sarong person at all but I loved the color of this one so I decided to order it. I mean, for $13 I had to at least try it! I immediately loved the fabric and ease of it tied around my waist…but when I realized I could wear it 14 others ways I got totally hooked. Now I need a few more! It’s also perfect to have in my bag if I need a blanket when I take a walk with the kids. I like to get coffee and sit with them by the lake and that sort of thing. Someone always wants a blanket to sit on, or Emma is cold, etc.

Here are just three simple ways I tried and I’ll show you more later. Don’t worry! When you order the sarong it comes with a little instruction booklet that makes it super easy.

If you try it let me know what you think, what color you ordered, and your favorite way to wear it! Post of photo or story wearing it on Instagram, tag me @stylingbyerica, and I’ll feature you in my stories.

You can shop my head to toe look from Amazon Fashion! I’ve linked my personal Amazon page and the individual links at the bottom of this post. You can also find this look on LIKEtoKNOW.it {you can easily download the app if you don’t have it already}!

xoxo

Happy Hump Day!

I’m sharing some photos of my bedroom with you today. Rental homes are hard because you don’t want to invest too much time or money in to the space if you don’t plan to be there for long. Some rental property owners won’t allow you to paint or change much as well, so what you can do really depends on the owners approval and your situation.

When we sold our home and moved from Nashville, TN to Scottsdale, AZ in January we decided to rent for a bit to make sure we knew what area we wanted to be in long term. Luckily, all of the furniture from our previous home works okay in this space. Most of what I had purchased was minimal and neutral so it works with this desert home. I’ve kept things really simple and I’m not buying anything new since I don’t know that we’ll stay more than a year. Hoping to find our own home next year, but we will see what happens!

I’ve used my bedroom rug in the living room, the dresser in Emma’s room, the throw & palm pillows in the living room, etc. I like keeping a consistent vibe/color scheme throughout the house so I can move things around. If I had a money tree, I would buy literally everything from CB2. It’s my favorite home store! I will always be an IKEA lover though and will never stop shopping there. They are always my go-to for real plants/pots as well. I’ve linked everything in my photos at the bottom of this post for you!

Hi Friends!

I’m super excited because five of my favorite Summer Staples are in stock at LULUS! I bought each of these pieces for my Mexico trip in March of 2019 and I’m still wearing all of them on the regular. If you follow me on Instagram you’ll recognize most of them from multiple posts, some even from posts here on the blog. For some reason I only have one photo of the cotton tank dress, but I’ve shown it several ways on Instagram {usually layered} if you do some scrolling. Keeping all of the photos in this post from the Mexico trip. I pretty much wore LULUS finds the entire week! I’ve linked my five favorite pieces at the bottom of this post, as well as very similar accessories. Happy shopping!
