Luvamia on Amazon

June 17, 2021by themeridianblissLeave a Comment

We recently came across an Amazon shop that we are loving and wanted to share them with you all. Luvamia is a new found store for us, and we are so happy that we stumbled across it! We wanted to share the items that we received in our most recent order.

White top & Shorts – Since receiving these two items, I have worn them way more than I would like to admit. The top is the perfect top to throw on for any occasion and is so comfortable. And the shorts are such a great length for all the ‘mom’ things!

Workout set – Want to make a statement while at the gym, on a walk, or running errands?! Then this set is calling your name. I love a good workout set and this one is extremely comfortable, very soft, and fun!

Floral top – I just love this top. I love the little detailing on the adorable bell sleeves, I love the floral, I love that it has a dressier feel than just a basic top. It comes in so many different colors too, if floral isn’t your thing.

Tie Front Top – This tie front top is just the perfect combination of relaxed but dressy for me! I love how easy it is to wear to the park but also to dress it up for dinner out. Also, (not that I want to think about fall) but what a great transition piece for then.

4th of July Outfit Ideas

June 15, 2021by themeridianblissLeave a Comment

Both Michelle and I love the 4th of July, it is such a fun filled, feel good holiday! There are always a number of events that surround that week, and all of them (don’t – haha) require a new – red, white, and blue – outfit! We’ve found some great options here, and almost all of them you can wear more than just American holidays.

white dress * blue sandals * navy one piece * blue purse * striped dress * headband * kimono * earrings * denim skirt * sunglasses * navy dress * red one piece * romper * red sandals * blue dress

White Dress – love this breezy midi! Perfect for everyday wear throughout the summer
Blue Sandals – the light blue color of these sandals makes them a great neutral to add to any outfit
Navy One Piece – i adore the one shoulder bow!
Blue Purse – the perfect little bag to add a little fun to monochromatic outfit
Striped Dress – bqq, pool, beach – wherever you are headed, this dress would be a great choice
Headband – i love the daisy detailing on this adorable headband
Kimono – how perfect?! Throw it on over a suit or pair it with a white denim skirt!
Earrings – absolutely adding these to my cart
Denim Skirt – could not be happier that denim skirts are back in style
Sunglasses – obsessed with these cute frames
Navy Dress – another dress that you could wear literally anywhere this summer
Red One Piece – the ruffles and the color make this such a fun, statement suit!
Romper – this darling romper would take you from a 4th of july bbq to a date night!
Red Sandals – adding a pop of color is so fun!
Blue Dress – obsessed with this! Between the slit, the low back, and the strappy details. – I could not love this more!

Another thing to note, it’s easy to search for basic red, white, and blue apparel but if you are wanting more of an “American” themed outfit – then head over to Pink Lily! They have some adorable pieces to choose from.

Backyard BBQ Must Haves

June 10, 2021by themeridianblissLeave a Comment

Summertime means grilling out with family and friends! We loving having people over, and we love it even more when we can entertain outside. There are somethings that we believe are ‘must haves’ when having a BBQ.

string lights * plates * bar cart * connect 4 * beverage tub

String Lights – having hanging lighting outside always adds a festive feel! We also like these LED options and these bubble lights are adorable too
Plates – how fun are is this lemon plate set?! If you are more of a simple kind of girl… this rose gold set is a great option and so is this blue set.
Bar Cart – i love this rattan bar cart to have items on display that your guests might need. I also love this gold one and this gray wood one!
Yard Games – you can’t have a BBQ without yard games and I think connect 4, these wooden dice, and ladder toss are the perfect addition!
Beverage Tub – a necessity to keep drinks cool but visually appealing as well (perk, you can see easily if anything needs to be refilled!) If the rattan one shown isn’t your style we also love this copper one and this metal one

Summer Date Night Looks

June 9, 2021June 10, 2021by themeridianblissLeave a Comment

Summer nights out with our husbands are our favorite! We love getting dressed up and having one on one time with them. For summer date nights, the outfit options are endless. We put together 4 different looks to help inspire you for your next date night.

Shorts
We love the simplicity of shorts for a date night. Pairing denim shorts with a dressier tank and wedges or a pair of heels dresses up the outfit just enough! I am wearing these shorts, a similar tank, and similar wedges.

shorts * similar tank * similar wedges * similar earrings * necklace * wallet

2. Dress
If you know me at all, you know that I would live in dresses if I could! Having three small, active boys means I don’t get to wear them as regularly as I like to. That being said, date nights for me – I will usually always be wearing a dress. Depending on where we are going I will dress it up with heels or wedges or dress it down with sandals. I am wearing this dress here.

dress * sandals * similar purse * similar sunglasses * similar earrings * necklace

3. Romper
I never underestimate a good romper! I love a good romper and always find myself reaching for mine. Rob and I had a dinner event for a nonprofit we support last night and I wore *almost* this exact outfit. I absolutely adore this romper!

4. Skirt
You can never go wrong with a skirt on a date night in the summer months. I love this skirt and will find any excuse to wear it.

Memorial Day Outfit Ideas

May 18, 2021by themeridianblissLeave a Comment

Anyone else find it hard to believe that Memorial Day is in 2 weekends?! With this weekend brings so much fun… the countdown to the school year closing out (let’s be honest, I’ve be counting down a while already), the summer vibes that come with it, and the bbqs. We typically go to our local Memorial Day parade to honor those in, and those who have served in the armed forces but not this year (next year!) and spend some time grilling out with family and friends. Memorial Day Weekend gives me all the happy and patriotic feels and I love it!

We put together some outfit looks for your upcoming MDW. One of them is surely to speak to you and go with the events that you have going on that weekend.

Outfit 1

sunglasses * earrings * dress * wedges * bag

Outfit 2

visor * tote * bathing suit * sarong * sandals

Outfit 3

sunglasses * earrings * top * shorts * bag * shoes

Outfit 4

necklace * earrings * romper * bag * sandals

Also, Pink Lily has a section on their site that is completely devoted to patriotic attire – we’ve linked some of our favorites from that collection, but shop the entire collection here!

jumpsuit * sweatshirt (and one for your mini) * romper * dress * shorts * tank

We hope you find something you love!

Cut-out Trend

March 24, 2021March 23, 2021by themeridianblissLeave a Comment

One trend we love that we are happy to see everywhere this spring is the cut out trend! We think that this trend, if done properly, can add a little something extra to your basic outfit. We adore that this trend can be transferred and used in all areas of clothing and have tried it in some way in each category.

Above, I styled this trend in 3 different ways. The first way is for a casual date night/girls night look with a simple black cold shoulder top. The middle is for a shower or wedding. And the third is a sundress with a crocheted patchwork, to wear on any summer day! What is your favorite way to wear the cut out trend?

Womens Swimwear

March 9, 2021by themeridianbliss1 Comment

Keeping on theme with our recent posts of spring break & summer… we thought we would find some bathing suits for women! I don’t know about you but my bathing suit collection is in need of a big clean out and refresh. I love how bathing suits are designed now, they feel more like a piece of clothing rather than just a bathing suit. There are so many good options out there and all at different price points – you are bound to find something that speaks to you.
