Hi everyone! I was going to post this sometime next week but this dress is selling out quickly so I wanted to get it up here for you ASAP!  

.

When I opened up the package I was iffy about this dress…but once I put it on I absolutely loved it!  It runs true-to-size and is 100% rayon, which is so nice because it’s machine washable (I would hang it to dry) and great for traveling since it doesn’t wrinkle too easily. It has a dropped waist and 3/4 sleeves and I love the cute tassel ties. You can leave them open and make the dress more of a V-neck or you can tie them together in a bow for a higher neckline like I did here. I originally styled the dress for a daytime look with strappy flat sandals (which I loved!) but I changed it up when decided to wear this out for a date night with the hubby and paired it with wedges. These shoes are so fun and comfortable! I love how they elongate my legs and the platform isn’t too high. And even though they are neutral, the fringe makes them so fun…they are a perfect subtle statement piece. These shoes run true to size.

Hi friends!   I first wanted to wish all the mommy’s out there a Happy Mother’s Day!  

♥♥   You are such a blessing to all the lives you touch   ♥♥

My mom and I have always been so close.  She’s my role model, my shopping buddy, my inspiration and my best friend.  And I’m so excited to have her joining me on today’s post with New York and Company!  Welcome to our progressive “tea” party.  What would you like to drink?   We started with Tea in the cutest mugs and went outside to enjoy the fresh air at “5 o-clock”-lol.    

The dress I’m wearing is perfect for brunch, vacay or any occasion with warmer weather.  Although probably not the best choice of color for the guest of a wedding.   But good news…it also comes in 2 other color options (see here).   The straps are adjustable and I would say this dress runs true to size.  (wearing the xs here).  I styled this dress with kitten heel slippers, gold jewelry and oversized sunnies.  Because of the thinner straps I would recommend wearing this with a strapless bra.  The dress also has it’s own built-in lining!

You can shop this dress here and I also listed some of my favorite New Arrivals and pieces from their Gift Guide…

.

.

New York & Company is also offering Free shipping right now and is having a big sale!  Dresses are 50-70% off…including the one I’m wearing.   If you have any questions please send me a message:  aylin@stylinbyaylin.com

Hello everyone!  Just wanted to share this tunic…which I styled as a swim cover up!  I love the color of this tunic and it feels so boho chic.  (It’s one-size-fits-all).  You can wear this so many ways…with skinny jeans, shorts, or you can take it to the pool like I did here.  This clutch is so cute.  It’s actually white fabric covered beads…so summery.  This hat is very light weight.  The fit was more on the loose side…so I would not recommend it in windy conditions.  These bow sandals are super cute looking…but just know they are very “slappy” when you walk…lol.  (it makes a slap sound on the bottom of your foot).     You can shop this tunic here and the rest of my post below…

Hi everyone!   I hope you are doing well.  I’ve received some really sweet messages asking for more inspo on upcoming vacations and warm weather wardrobe ideas!  Well i’m so excited to share todays post with you sharing dresses, rompers & jumpsuits (perfect for VACAY)…and all things pink & blush.  I love adding these tones to my wardrobe to break up all the whites and greys.

.

I have to admit I’m notorious for buying something in multiple colors if I find a piece I love.  And this dress is one of those pieces!  It is from Nordstrom.com…and I also have it in the blue color!  It comes in a few other colors too (see here or thumbnails below).  It runs true to size.  Wearing the xs here.   I’m wearing a strapless bra and what I love most about the top part is…it is NOT constricting.  I find that pretty often when I try on “Off The Shoulder tops”…but those never make it on my blog.  I ONLY post pieces that I love.  And I only want you to buy pieces that you LOVE too.  I’ll admit that online shopping is not easy.  But that is why I love my job so much.  I weed out a lot of what doesn’t work or meets my standards…and get so excited to share the best online finds with YOU!!!

.

This dress would be prefect to wear on a girls trip, guest of a wedding, baby shower, birthday party, a night out…you name it!  I styled it here with fringe earrings, a cross-body bag and cute bow sandals.

.

.

Here is what all the other color-ways look like…

Happy weekend!!

Can you believe Mother’s Day is just around the corner?  Gift giving is honestly one of my favorite things.  It’s feels so good when you find that perfect gift…and the excitiment that comes with them opening it!

.

Well I’ve been searching the stores and online to find the best gift ideas and options for you to give someone special in your life….  (or even to treat yourself!).  You know I love COZY-ness so I’ve rounded up my favorite lounge wear & sleep wear…along with some other gifts (most under $50) that would be perfect for gift giving!

………………………………………………………………………………………………

.

This robe is from Nordstrom, super soft and is only $38!  But even better…if you buy 2 they are $30 each!  And I have to say I love their Free shipping and Free returns.  It makes purchasing and trying multiple sizes so much easier.  Thank you Nordy! xx

.

.

They come in 5 different colors.   And with the savings of buying two…it’s fun to get one for a gift and also one for you!  I sized up one size…wearing the S here.  It’s a super soft jersey fabric.  I would recommend this robe in the Spring/Summer/Fall.  It lightly keeps you covered and warm.   But I personally would want something a lot thicker in Winter weather.   The belt is a soft fabric tie (made of the same material).  I styled it here open for a more drapey look…plus I wanted to make sure this fun graphic tank is showing!  And YES to “hello weekend”!!  xx

.

p.s. you can find the mug pictured below here. 

.

p.s.s. the grey slippers i’m wearing are super comfy and under $20!

FYI: They run big.  I’m a 7.5 and had to order the size S.

.

.

………………………………………………………………………………………………

This is way to cozy not to share!   The grey set underneath is sold individually & super soft.  I ordered my true size on the bottoms and sized up one size on the top for a slightly oversized fit.  This is the same robe but I wanted to show you the pink and blue color.  They are both so pretty and are sure to brighten up someone’s day.  I also love the combo of the pink and grey and the blue and grey.   You can shop this set here and here.   And the robes here.

FYI:  These robes are also $38 …or $30 each if you buy 2!

.

.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………...

.

I’ve rounded up some other gift ideas below for you.  I must say that I have my eye on this …(hint, hint hubby).   And have to get these for my mom!

.

.

I hope this inspires you to find something special for someone you love.

Have a great weekend and thank you for stopping by!

Hi friends…hope you had a great day!  Today I’m sharing striped tee’s!  Stripes are such a fun print for spring.  They are great to pair with jeans, shorts, skirts…pretty much any bottom.  Here I kept it pretty safe with denim…but I also love mixing stripes with other patterns.  I played up the white in the stripes by adding white accessories.  Ie….white bag — white shoes.   I love white accessories…especially for this time of year.

.

This shirt is VERY soft and I sized up to a small here.

Hi everyone!  Just had to throw today’s outfit of the day up on the blog…because this is my 3rd time wearing it this week (emoji monkey covering eyes).  The top netting detaling is so gorgeous, but what I love most about this top is how comfortable it is…while not compromising on style.  It has a boho feel (which I have to say I tend to gravitate towards).   I’m also sharing a few other white flowy tops that you might like…which are similar to the one I’m wearing today.

You can shop this one here and the other options below…

Hope you have a beautiful day and thank you so much for stopping by today!

Re-post!  Just found out that this thermal is now on sale!  This is one of the tops in my wardrobe that I reach for over and over again because it’s so comfortable to wear and I LOVE the dusty rose color!  (FYI: color is “ballet” online).  I also have my eye on the ivory, black and ice blue.  The fabric is extremely soft against your skin.  You can wear it kind of boat-necked on both shoulders or drop it off one shoulder.  I sized up one to make the length a little longer and to get a slightly more oversized look.

FYI…There are some reviews online saying the sweater snags easily.   I haven’t noticed that yet.  Just be careful with what type of jewelry you wear because that’s what typically snags clothes.

.

You can shop this thermal above…here and linking another favorite thermal here.

Hope you had a great weekend!

Hi everyone…hope you had a great weekend!  This one (like most) went by way too fast.  We did some family scootering on the boardwalk, football practice and got in a little tennis.  I wish we could get one more day before the hustle and bustle of the work week.  This mama needs some extra zzzzzzzzz’s.

.

I was going to post this later this week…but I’ve been getting a lot of requests to share more vacation inspired looks since a lot of you are getting ready for up coming trips!  So I was able to sneak away for a little this afternoon while my hubby took the kids to play water balloons♥.

.

This dress/cover-up is so so comfy, I love quality, price, and how the fabric moves!   I have the olive color and black…and I’m waiting for the pretty coral color to get re-stocked in my size!!   It has pockets…which I will admit, are a little low…but I still love and recommend this piece.    It runs a little big, I’m wearing an XS here and I had to have some alterations to shorten the straps. I’m 5-7 so no length was needed to take off the bottom…but If it was a little longer I would have paid to have it altered.  There are some pieces that I prefer not to alter…because I don’t want to spend the extra money for something I will only wear a couple times.  But this dress is well worth the extra time and money if you need any altering.  I’ve already worn this as a pool coverup, a road trip dress (see here), lounging around the house…and I even wore this out to grab happy hour and dinner.  I just dressed it up with wedge sandals and big earrings.  BTW: my earrings are from By Malka.  More details here.

Yay for the weekend!  I wanted to share this casual look with you today since it’s comfortable and what I like to wear on weekends.  (minus the heels…lol).  I love this top!  It’s under $40, runs true to size and is comfy and cute all in one.  The material is really soft.  I styled this top loosely tucked in to one side.  I think it’s casual enough to wear in the Day with shorts or jeans…and because of the arm detailing you can spice it up for a night out on the town!

.

And I can’t wait to show you a full post on these jeans…they are amazing, and I just noticed they went on sale!  I’ll be honest there is no way I can wear them with flats…but I love the look of them when I pair them with tall wedges or heels. (i’m 5-7″ for reference)  I give the quality an A!

.

.

Hope you have a relaxing, fun weekend.  Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hi everyone!  I wanted to share a little Friday night inspo with you.  This box clutch is from Whiting & Davis. (similar here & here)  Perfect for a formal event or even a date night.  These earrings are my new fav.  They arrived in the mail today.  I tried them on…and have not taken them off since.  (expect for this pic).  They are medium weight…and catch the light beautifully.  Just like this clutch!  I thought these earring would only be good for night….but I wore them all day with a Tee and white Skinny jeans.

Hope you have a great weekend…and stay posted for some new blog posts going live over the weekend!

Hi everyone and happy Wednesday!

Today I want to share with you my night-time beauty routine. This includes some of my all-time favorite products…some of which I’ve been using for over 10 years! I do like to try new things and switch up my products from time-to-time, but these are the ones I always come back to. (I’ve even noticed a difference in my skin when I stop using them.) This is the perfect skincare combo for me and I hope this inspires you to give it a try! Scroll down to keep reading my step-by-step skincare routine.

.

.

.

.

Step 1:

Lancôme Bi-Facial Makeup Remover 

This is by far the best eye makeup remover I have ever used! It’s one of my favorites and I’ve been using this for at least 10 years. I’ve tried so many types of removers but this one is the most gentle and takes makeup off so easily. (Just be sure to shake it very well before using.)

Mom confessions: I’d be lying if I said I’ve never reused my eye makeup from the night before.  And sometimes after a night out, a beauty routine just feels so daunting & exhausting.  So, I love using these “premium” round cotton pads to clean up those scary raccoon eyes in the morning.

.

.

.

.

Step 2:

Estée Lauder Perfectly Clean + Clarisonic 

I’m a huge fan of Clarisonic! If you have never tried one, you will be amazed at how much smoother your face feels after you wash. It sounds cliché, but it actually does make your skin feel as smooth as a baby’s bottom! lol.

I’ve tried so many face washes, but I always come back to this Estée Lauder one. I love how it foams…especially when using the Clarisonic.  It also has a self-timer, which I will usually use for 1-2 rounds.

Tip: This face wash also doubles as a mask!

.

.

.

.

Step 3:

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair 

I swear this product is the fountain of youth!  I just use a drop or two and apply it right after I wash my face while it’s still a bit damp. It improves the texture of your skin, adds moisture, and just gives this overall glow!  This is another product I’ve been using for years and when I run out and get too lazy to buy more, I always notice a difference and regret it.  I’m totally hooked!

.

.

.

.

Step 4: 

Bobbi Brown Repair Nourishing Milk 

This is a newer product that I just started using about 3 months ago. It’s a Nourishing Milk and it’s jam-packed with vitamins! I put 3-4 drops onto my fingers and apply to my entire face. It acts like a primer and I love how it gives my skin an extra boost along with a nice, dewy finish.

Tip: I also use this during the day by adding 1-2 drops into my foundation.

.

.

.

.

 Step 5:

Philosophy Miracle + Bobbi Brown Intensive Eye Cream

For this step, it’s all about the eyes. First, I use about 1 pump of the Philosophy Miracle and dab it under my eye area. This helps smooth out fine lines and wrinkles.

Then I use my Bobbi Brown Extra Eye Repair Cream. This is another huge favorite of mine that I take with me everywhere, especially when I travel! Bobbi Brown has two different eye creams so make sure you get the “Extra Repair” one. I noticed a big difference between the two and this one leaves a fresh, dewy finish and is extra, extra moisturizing!

Tip: You may already know, but it’s super important to be gentle when you are putting product around your eyes. The skin there is much more delicate than the rest of your face. (I also love using the Bobbi Brown Intensive Repair on my lips for extra hydration!)

.

.

.

.

 Step 6:

Bobbi Brown Hydrating Intense Night Cream 

The final step! This is another product I’ve only started using in the past 3 months.  It’s from Bobbi Brown and it’s called Hydrating intense night cream.  It’s so moisturizing so I put this on fairly generously.

P.S. the smell is amazing!

 

This may or may not seem like a lot, but this combo of layering products has given me the best results. As I get older, I’ve noticed more sun spots and fine lines (darn those tanning beds in college! lol) so having a routine and taking the extra 5-mintues before bed to take care of my skin has really helped me with trying to reverse the damage. Your skin repairs itself most while you sleep, so what you put on before bed is more important than during the day (with the exception of sunscreen, of course!)

.

Tips from Mom: One person I have always looked up to, especially in the way she takes care of her skin, is my Mom, Semra ♥.  Some important things she has taught me are:

1. Always wash your face before bed.

2. Moisturize, moisturize, moisturize!

3. Never neglect your neck and hands! Anything you do to your face, you should do to your neck as well. And if there’s any leftover product, I always rub it onto the back of my hands.

.

Happy Tuesday!  I’m so excited to share this post with you!  Today I’m teaming up with Nordstrom to share some of Madewell’s new arrivals.

.Here, I’m wearing their new embroidered black dress…and it is all about the details! I absolutely love the detailing with the peek-a-boo arm, tassels, and dainty embroidery.  It can be worn as a dress, but I styled it over skinny white jeans and featured it more as a tunic.  I chose white pants to contrast and make the colors in the details really pop.  I also paired it with a cross body bag and fun pony-heeled sandals. It’s the perfect vacation piece and I will definitely be wearing this a lot this summer.   This dress runs true to size and is a casual cotton material.

.

You can shop this dress/tunic here and keep scrolling to see 3 additional looks I styled…

I loved so many pieces from Madewell I wanted to put together some other outfit ideas for you.  From casual day wear to a girls night out these pieces are so versatile to wear.

Happy Monday & hope you had a great weekend!  I just got back from a 4 day trip to Dallas, TX.  It was for the RewardStyle conference, where we get to learn about the digital influencer industry, meet one on one with brands, attend classes, parties and mingle and get to know other style influencers.  I feel so grateful to have been invited this year and had a great time meeting other bloggers, brands and getting to know the amazing team at RewardStyle!  I was really hoping for some downtime on this trip since I rarely EVER travel alone.  But the only downtime was on the last night after the finale party…I ordered room service nachos at midnight and watched “how to lose a guy in 10 days” (one of my FAVortie movies).   These pics above were taken at our hotel…and how cute are those bikes RewardStyle had parked out front!  Any of my close friends will agree that I love a good prop…lol,  so I jumped on this bike for a pretend stroll.  aka: photo Op.   This top is definitely one of my favorites.  You know you found a top you love when you wear it more than twice in a week.  I would recommend pairing it with skinny jeans since it is more voluminous.  I’m wearing the size XS here.  You can shop it here and linked some similar ones below.

.

.

P.S.  My kids gave me their stuffed animal owl to take on my trip so I wouldn’t be alone at night.  I’m a girl who still has their childhood blankie so I have to admit owl and I did cuddle♥

 Happy Thursday friends!  Today I’m heading out of town for a work trip in Dallas.  It’s my second year attending the annual RewardStyle Conference…and I’m so excited to be going again this year!  I’ll keep you posted on my travels and looks over the next few days so stay tuned…

I’m so excited to share this super cute jacket…perfect for spring rain showers! It looks so sophisticated and is super lightweight, windproof, water-resistant and the fabric is very breathable (won’t make you sweat like most rainwear). It runs a little big (I’m wearing an XS here) and it looks great open or closed.  I love the color and how it looks so polished here paired with my white pumps, white skinny jeans, and silky green top.  To make it a little more fun I added a small pop of color with my lip gloss.

You can shop this jacket here and the rest of my post below…

Happy Tuesday everyone!  It’s hard to believe that it is already mid-April!  With summer right around the corner, that means more vacations and trips to the pool.  I love finding casual chic pieces that are not only great quality but are multi-use!  Today I’m teaming up with Nordstrom to share some super cute cover-ups that you can take from the pool to dinner and everywhere in between!

This cover-up/dress is super flattering and I love the ruffle detailing and higher neckline. It runs true to size and I’m wearing a size 4 here. I styled it with a straw boater hat, straw bag, fringe sandals, and some fun tassel jewelry for the day…and I just threw on a pretty lip gloss to polish up the look for dinner!

You can shop this cover-up here and the rest of my look below.  Also, keep scrolling down to see another versatile look I styled!

.

.

This dress is so so comfy!  I wore this on the drive up to Palm Springs & paired it with suede booties.  I always reach for non-constricting pieces when sitting in the car for long hours.  Otherwise, I find myself unbuttoning my pants after a pit stop at In-N-out.   This cover-up has pockets…which I will admit, are a little low…but I still love and recommend this piece.  It comes in 3 gorgeous colors…I actually have it in an olive green which is super pretty!  (That look coming soon).   It runs a little big, I’m wearing an XS here and I had to have some alterations to shorten the straps. It would also be super cute to wear a bralette underneath.   This piece is another favorite to take from the pool, out and about…and to even comfortably wear around the house.

Hi my friends…Happy Friday!  

One of the things that brings me the most joy in this world is making new memories with my family.  We love taking weekend trips, getting away from all the laundry & to-do lists, jumping on hotel beds and spending quality time together.  We love seeing new places and meeting new people.  One of the fun things about packing for vacation is being able to get more playful with my wardrobe.  Today I’m teaming up with Express to share some of my favorite pieces for spring, summer, and vacations along the way!  Here we are enjoying our spring break at the beautiful Parker Palm Springs. We had lots of fresh squeezed lemonade, played bocce ball, croquet and spent hours swinging on their hammocks.  

.

 LOOK #1

.

This striped dress is a piece I will be wearing a lot this Summer.  You can never go wrong with the classic Black & White combo.  It’s comfortable and I love the shift style with the cute tie detail.  This dress runs true to size.  I’m wearing the XS here.  Even though it’s more on the casual side…this would also be perfect to wear out to dinner.  Just change up your shoes, add a bright, fun lip color, and add some fun earrings.  I love these here.

.

.

.

.

LOOK #2

.

This look is another vacation favorite.  The chambray is very soft and comfortable.  (I’m never a fan of stiff or crunchy denim).  Wear it day and night.  Love the overlapping ruffle detail on the sleeve.  It runs true to size.  Wearing the XS here.  This would also be a fun piece to throw on over your swim suit for a pool party or when heading to the beach.  Would especially work great with a Bandeau style bathing suit (see here).   This piece packs nicely too.  I was able to easily get some of the creases out at the hotel room by hanging it by the shower for about 10 min.  You can shop this dress here and the rest of my look below!

.

 Thank you so much for visiting today!  I hope you have a great Friday and Happy Easter weekend!

So excited to share this find with you because it’s one of my favorite pieces in my closet! I absolutely love this dress.  It runs a tiny bit big …I am wearing the XS here.  It actually comes in quite a few color options so I picked up another one as well.  It’s great because they don’t just look like the same dress in a different color…they actually look like very different dresses.  That look coming soon…!

I wore this dress on our last family vacation to beautiful Palm Springs. We stayed at The Parker Palm Springs and took these photos on their beautiful grounds en route to dinner! This is the perfect spring/summer dress to take from day to night. You can easily wear some cute flats during the day and then change them out for some neutral heels like I did here for a night out. You can wear the sleeves down giving the dress a more billowy feel but I prefer wearing the sleeves pushed up a bit.

You can shop this dress here (similar here and here) …and the rest of my look below.

Hope you had a great day and thanks for reading!

 Yay for taco Tuesday.  It’s one of my favorite foods.  This is super random but have you ever tried chipotle’s crunchy taco’s?  They are super good and a nice way to switch it up from their burritos.  Those are super yummy too…but sometimes they make them sooo big it’s like a burritos basket ball.  lol.

Today I’m talk’n all things Army and Camo!  I love the neutral print.  It’s fun to add over your favorite jeans.  I can also envision a white denim jacket looking great over this look i’m wearing here.  It would freshen up the look for Spring.  I ordered this top in the XS and S and ended up keeping the S since I like the more oversized fit.

You can shop this exact Tee here and here.  I’m also linking some other Camo Favorites below….

Hope you have a great one!
