Happy 2nd Birthday Spotlight!


July 17 marked a special date! Two years ago, my mom and I took a huge leap of faith and opened our dream business! Our goal was to open a boutique in our small downtown of Cedar Falls, IA that had a fun, trendy, sophisticated, big city feel with affordable pricing! What started as a dream, turned into a reality! From the idea, to the location and 7 months later opening our doors! Well... lets just say it wasn't quite that easy. We had a lot of stress, sweat and tears along the way, but it was all worth it! Spotlight Style Boutique & Salon opened its doors July 17, 2012! Prior to opening, I was a full-time hairstylist and didn't want to give up that dream, so we added a small salon in the back. Two years + two additonal hairstylist's later, Spotlight Style Boutique & Salon is a success! Take the Spotlight tour...





My mom and I on our 2nd Birthday












I hope you have enjoyed a look inside of my world. Never give-up on your dreams, set goals and push through with them. What is your dream career?

Hot Days, Cool Style

Hi, Pretty... I hope your having a wonderful day! On this 80 something degree summer's day I choose to keep my look casual. Of course I got my OOTD Outfit of the Day at my boutique; Spotlight Style Boutique & Salon. I paired my favorite summer tank with these adorable chevron shorts. When it is hot and humid outside you want to wear something that is going to keep you cool and comfortable.







Mint sandals from Target


Mint + Coral Accessories from Spotlight Style Boutique & Salon



Now all I need is a Passion Fruit Iced Tea from Starbucks and I am set! I hope your staying cool this summer! What is your favorite outfit to wear on a hot summer's day?

Miranda

Denim + Lace

The denim shirt is a classic, versatile wardrobe staple.  I have paired mine with a lace maxi skirt, wide belt, cowboys boots and Pink Pewter stretch band. Making this a sweet "county girl" look!


Belt


Pink Pewter Stretch Band 





There are so many different ways you can wear your denim on top.  I also love pairing my denim blouse with colored skinnies and a fun necklace to match! My entire look is sold at my boutique Spotlight Style Boutique & Salon with the exception of my cowboys boots and bracelet.

Peach + Peach

There is something about wearing peach that makes me feel pretty. The color is soft, feminine and puts me in a good mood! I love this sleeveless peach blouse sold in my boutique because it is soft and casual but fun when dressed up with accessories! For my outfit of the day OOTD I chose to stay with the peach theme...


Peach Floral Necklace + Blessing Bracelet(s) + Tassel Bracelet

I paired my OOTD with nude heels and dark denim. I would wear this to lunch or a casual day hanging out with friends. Like my top? Order it from my boutique, Spotlight Style Boutique & Salon online!

Summer Dresses

I've got to say... summer is my favorite time of year! From warm sunny days... convertible rides... outdoor barbecues... and summer festivals, there is always so much going on. Summer is also my favorite buying season. The beautiful bold prints, bright colors, and dresses! DRESSES, DRESSES and more DRESSES! Here are just a few of my favorite's that we had this summer in my boutique; Spotlight Style Boutique & Salon.



Pink Bold Floral Maxi designed and created in Dallas Texas


Beautiful Tie Dye Print dress designed by Project Runway's Shirin Askari 


Fuchsia & Yellow Printed Maxi 


Fuchsia and Blue Print Dress who doesn't love pockets?


Green Criss-Cross Back Dress


As summer is starting to wind down...those bright summer colors are turning into rich fall colors & prints. Teals are turning into Dark Greens, Corals are turning into Rich Reds. Fall is near...and the summer buying season is coming to an end. Until next summer...
