guest post//love me, dani marie

Hi Girls! I am Dani from Love Me, Dani Marie! I am so very excited to be guest posting at ABCDE the blog! I am 23 years old and love to feel good in the clothes I wear! I am married to an amazing guy that puts up with all my craziness! I also am a registered nurse and have the most amazing job taking my cute disabled brother to school. Thats me and my husband Zach below...



I absolutely love reading Eryka's blog! I love how personable she is and how genuine her blog is! I was so glad the day I found her blog! It is a blog I read everyday, and always makes me think and definitely brings a smile to my face!

Love Me, Dani Marie is where I love to post outfits that are functional, still fashionable, and trendy. I also love to post tutorials about fun home improvement projects, cute crafts that I am currently working on, hair, or makeup! I love to blog, and meet new friends just like Eryka!

I am so excited to talk to you girls about my favorite Spring 2013 trends! So many of these trends can be mixed and matched! I love finding pieces that I can wear so many different ways! Don't you!? These are some of the trends that I am/have incorporated into my wardrobe.


1. Liquid leggings! I absolutely love the look these can give to an outfit! They are so fun and super duper comfortable! They add a little rocker edge to any outfit! If you haven't purchased a pair of liquid leggings its a must! You can find them here

2. Denim Vests, I love that you can throw these over absolutely anything and it just adds to the outfit! Vests can add another layer and texture to any outfit. There are so many cute vests out there! Colors, patterns, really anything! I purchased this one at Forever 21. I highly recommend buying a denim vest! Once you buy one you will fall in love just like I did! I have to stop myself from wearing it every day!

3. Metallic Pants. These are my new favorite love. They add a pop to any outfit without any effort! I was nervous to wear these at first, but now I can't get enough of them!! The pair I have on is no longer listed, but I just bought a blush pink pair at Bohme! They are darling!

4. Maxi Skirts, probably the most comfortable thing in my closet! You can dress them down with a graphic t, or dress them up with a cardigan! I am loving the maxi skirts here and here

5. Lace I love the girlyness that these add to an outfit. They are so fun, I love the texture that it adds to an outfit and just the girly edge.

6. POLKA DOTS! Polka dots just add a bunch of fun to an outfit. They are just like happiness! And colored jeans + polka dots = perfection! There are darling polka dot pants here and here!! 

7. Top knots probably my favorite trend! I love the fact that they are darling and my hair is out of my face! I love you can add a cute headband or a bow in the back for another cute different look of the top knot!

8. Peplum tops! A fabulous piece to cover up your tummy area if you aren't so proud of it like I am! I love the girly look it gives. They are just a fun piece and who doesn't love a little ruffle at the bottom of a shirt! I just bought this peplum top and am so excited to wear it! 

9. Neons and color blocking, I love the brightness and cheerfulness that neons bring to an outfit! They just make my day brighter and put a smile on my face! I am loving the neon tops here!

What are some of your favorite trends that you are excited to wear this spring!?

Thanks so much for letting me post Eryka!

i was overcome with tears of love. i appreciate those of you who opened up about your struggles too. it helped me really remember we are never alone. i love each and everyone of you. thank you so much for all the love and support you have shown us.
