I hope ya’ll are having a great weekend so far. My boo + I are relaxing after a busy week but are heading to a water park tomorrow to soak up the last few weekends of summer! I personally can’t wait!! With fall just around the corner, I am starting to think about how to transition summer pieces into my fall wardrobe, starting with my little white dresses.
This gorgeous white midi dress is from online retailer Pink Desert. It retails for under $35 and is the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe to transition from summer to fall. The lightweight material makes it great for layering + it’s length makes it great to wear to the office or for a feminine date night look.
I paired this dress with a classic pair of nude pointed toe pumps. I feel every gal should have a pair of nude pumps because they are just so chic, timeless + match with absolutely everything!
I am LOVING these chic leather cross body bag from Senreve. I discovered the brand on instagram, actually I have been discovering a lot of new brands on instagram lately hehe :p I love Senreve’s quality, price point + versatile styles that can be worn for work or play.
Ya’ll, I don’t know about you but I am so ready for fall! The hot temps in LA (it was legit 110 degrees today) + all of the great fall buys from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale are making me ready for fall hues, long sleeves + fun autumn looks. One of my current obsessions getting me excited for fall? This Bobeau Faux Wrap Dress from Nordstrom. It is currently on sale for $45.90 (regular price $60). Isn’t it a total must-have?
I have become a huge fan of wrap dresses lately because of their amazing silhouette that flatters almost every body type. It looks great on top + flows at the bottom. I will for sure be living in this dress all fall long!
I styled it with my trustee Louis Vuitton Toiletry Pouch. This beauty matches with everything + has tons of room for all of my essentials. It is such an easy grab + go bag, I wear it ALL the time.
My shoes are another must-have for all ya’ll ladies. I love the ankle strap heel trend because they have become such a staple in my wardrobe. This style shoe, I find incredibly comfortable + flattering. I literally own these in EVERY color imaginable haha so when I spotted these in gold I knew I had to have them!
As I’ve gotten older, I have become a lover of fine jewelry (in addition to my handbag obsession + nice cars obsession…basically I love spending haha :p) What I love about fine jewelry, much like handbags is that the pieces are timeless investments that match with everything + will last a lifetime. While the thought of purchasing fine diamond jewelry may be daunting, I find it is all about purchasing from a store where you know the diamond quality is superb + a place that makes you feel special when making that purchase, Reeds Jewelers does just that.
Finally, a Monday I am excited about! I don’t know about you, but a three day work week sounds beyond thrilling if you ask me hehe :p I spent the weekend putting together some amazing gift guides for ya’ll – ICYMI check them out HERE + I began putting together some great looks for the holiday season! One look I shared last week is perfect for Thanksgiving with friends or family + today’s look is another great option for Thanksgiving wear as well.
I will be staying in LA for Turkey Day this year…which gives me extra time to take advantage of some great Black Friday + Cyber Monday steals + deals (which are starting even earlier this year, leaving more time to shop)! I will put together a full guide by Thursday so you can shop after your yummy feast (oh how I love turkey + stuffing).
One Black Friday / Cyber Monday sale I am excited to shop is Old Navy’s! While I am not sure of what their promo will be yet – it is always a good one year after year. Old Navy has been one of my favorite go-to stores for head to toe style at an affordable price point for years now. Whether it is their chic outerwear, on trend shoes or cozy knits + sweaters, Old Navy always has what I am looking for…including what to wear for the holiday season or how they like to call it, HoliYAYs!
One of my current favorites of the season is this fall fresh look I put together thanks to great styles at Old Navy.
I have always been ‘mad for plaid‘ so when I spotted this plaid button down top in a soft washed fabric I knew I needed it! What I love about this blouse is that you can wear it various ways. Since I decided to pair it with this suede button up skirt, I felt tying it in the front would add a little ‘somethin somethin‘ to the look 😉
I also styled it loose with a pair of jeans + heeled booties (stay tuned for that look). This skirt is something I typically wouldn’t have went for but I decided to give it a shot + I am so glad I did! It comes in maroon, navy + a camel hue – all great options for fall occasions + get-togethers.
Velvet is all the rage this season! From dresses, to bags, to blouses + even shoes…this material is my favorite since it is festive for the holidays + is so chic to style.
I’ve always felt that Old Navy had the best selection of ‘on trend’ shoes for an affordable price, and these velvet ankle strap sandals are no exception. These babies are under $35 + come in maroon, black + leopardprint. Style them with jeans, skirts, dresses + more…the best part? They are comfortable!!
Since I always like to throw in a designer bag with my look to mix + match high and low, I paired this look with my Chanel.
These sunnies retail for under $100 + come in various colors…plus they are amazing quality! From Khloe Kardashian to Jessie James Decker, Diff Eyewear has partnered with the top trend setters to create stylish capsule collections that have sunnies you’ll legit drool over (I sure am haha) 🙂
Ready to stock up on your fall into winter essentials?
Happy Wednesday Loves! Yes…it’s happening, I am wearing ‘White After Labor Day‘ #SorryNotSorry (btw that Demi Lovato song has been stuck in my head for the past few weeks haha anyone else with me?) Anyways…I typically wear white year round anyway so it doesn’t really phase me that we are now past Labor Day haha So to really show how I don’t care about going against fashion faux pas’s, I wore white from head to toe!
I can’t wait to bring this cozy sweater + jeans to London. With the cooler temps there these will make for the perfect strolling outfit. Crazy to think the day I shot these photos it was 100 degrees outside..Yup, 100 degrees! I was meltingaway in this outfit but hey that’s the life of a blogger and what my weekends consist of haha
Coco Cooper has jeans that hug your curves and really fit your shape. I LOVE these jeans!! They are made with 4 way stretch denim allowing them to move with your body all day no matter where you are off to! They even have a special sculpt and lift technology to give your booty that extra ‘oomph‘ you always wanted.
I always love wearing an all white outfit, so I paired this look with white pointed toe pumps! These are a must-have of mine for fall 🙂
My bag is a new fall style from Vera Bradley called the ‘Carson Shoulder Bag’. I got it in Olive Green since it is such a fall staple and what I love most is the versatile straps + size to fit all your essentials.
Happy Tuesday ♥ I know I have been a little MIA the past week, so I am going to get a little real today since I haven’t felt like myself lately. For the past year (since moving to LA pretty much) I have been battling with anxiety + depression. Sometimes it isn’t that bad + other times (like the past week) it almost feels debilitating. It feels like I don’t even have the energy to get out of bed + I find myself in a constant state of just wanting to ball up + cry. Pretty crazy right? Well I am no doctor, but I am pretty sure I’ve been battling this for a while + just being on my own has kind of put it into overdrive. Because of this I barely had the desire to blog (which seriously sucks), but something positive came out of this little funk I’ve been in…it helped remind me of why I do love blogging + what I want to share on my blog moving forward, more personal stories 🙂
Listen, chatting about fashion + beauty is fun but I think it’s felt really surface to me + I would love to be able to share about real happenings that effect everyone. So moving forward, things are getting real!
Since I got real at the beginning of this post, I can fluff things up a bit with chatting about my obsession with this floral maxi dress for fall! I have never been a huge fan of maxi dresses (I always felt they didn’t flatter me)…that was until I received this one from AMI Clubwear! I love the wrap design + the high slit (what gal doesn’t like to show some leg).
Shop Options Below:
AMI Clubwear has also become a source for some of my favorite shoes…like these lace up heels (on sale for under $20)! They have on trend styles that are good quality + they are affordable ♥ Seriously…that makes my day!
No matter what the occasion, I firmly believe adding a ‘Pop Of Color‘ goes a long way. This magenta GiGi NY clutch is perfect for fall + is great for running errands or happy hour!
