Moody Florals with Mint Julep Boutique

March 31, 2017

Hello, loves!
Today, I’ve partnered with an awesome online store called Mint Julep Boutique to share one of their gorgeous floral maxi dresses! They have SO many cute maxis on the site right now, it was difficult to choose, and I already want more of them in my closet! This one is called Peaceful Paradise, which I think is quite apt for a dress this pretty. One thing I will say, is that I found the background of the dress to be black, not navy, as stated on their website. I could be imagining things, but my photographer and boyfriend agreed with me! I wore it with a light denim jacket to ward off the chill that’s been hitting us recently when the evening rolls around. For accessories, I paired my new espadrille wedges (hello, 90’s shoutout!), a stack of glimmering gold bangles and my favorite crystal necklace.
I’m also loving the look of the Garden Stroll, the Visions in Bloom, the Living Fantasies, the Beauty Abounds, and the Happy to Bloom maxis. Like I said, they have SO many cute options to choose from right now! Be sure to sign up for their emails, so you can get $10 off your first purchase! The dresses are already very reasonably priced, so this is just the cherry on top. Keep scrolling to see the full look, I hope you enjoy it!

Marc Fisher Espadrille Dupe

March 15, 2017

Hello, loves!
I just wanted to quickly share these adorable and summer-perfect espadrille wedges I discovered at JustFab. They’re a dead ringer for the Marc Fisher espadrille wedges that are everywhere right now for over $150! They’re cute, comfy, and go with just about any spring/summer look you could dream of! Think: sundresses, white capris, jeans and a tee, I could go on! They’re usually $39.95, but until tonight they’re 50% off! That’s under $20, heck, yes! Use my link here to get right to them. They also come in black! Happy shopping.

Party Ready with Simply Be

December 11, 2016

Hi loves!
I hope everyone is doing well and staying mostly sane during this increasingly busy holiday season. I can feel work getting busier by the day, as to be expected when the temperatures drop! My gift-giving is mostly handled, thankfully, and I’m also working on some gift guide items to share with you, which I’m really excited about!

Amidst all of the shopping and cooking, and everything else that makes the holidays great, there is also the parties to attend (and even host)! I’ve partnered with Simply Be to bring you some gorgeous holiday party looks. They’re completely different from each other to have you covered, from the work or family party, to the night out with friends. Simply Be has a fantastic selection of festive items to build your perfect party look. They’re serving up faux fur and leather jackets to keep you cute AND warm, embellished little dresses, metallic clutches, statement necklaces, and everything in between. So many of these items would cross over to your NYE look as well. Happy shopping, and have fun getting party ready with Simply Be 😀

#Obsessed with this lace dress. The navy with nude lining is a little sexy but still girly. Paired with a vintage swingy coat, suede heels, and layered gold chains, this look is ideal for a more formal holiday gathering. The dress also has pockets, so you don’t even need to bring a clutch!

I love the pairing of a more ladylike print bodycon dress with a faux leather jacket and booties. It is the perfect balance of feminine and edgy with a touch of glam, courtesy of a bold crystal statement necklace.

August Stitch Fix

September 14, 2016

Welcome to my August Stitch Fix!
This month, I forgot to submit any requests to my stylist, but thankfully, she’s been watching my Pinterest boards, because she definitely found some amazing items that she knew I’d love.. Spolier alert, I ended up buying my entire fix for 25% off! My stylist knows that I don’t wear any hemlines above the knee (or not much above it, anyway), I love fun prints, lace, pieces that can transition from work day to date night, and colored pants. She pretty much hit every note just right, as I’ve been wearing all of these pieces in heavy rotation since they arrived at my door. I’m not sure how I managed to do it, but I lost my invoice so I don’t have prices available for my August Stitch Fix items to share with you.. The total usually ends up being around $200, because I keep my requested price-per-piece under $50. Read on for all of the details on my August Stitch Fix!

Top & Pants / Stitch Fix // Crossbody bag / Cambridge Satchel Co. from the Box of Style // Wedges / JustFab // Sunnies / Amazon
First up, two Stitch Fix items, this sheer floral-printed top with crochet panels, and these slightly sheeny (that’s a word, right?!) olive cropped pants. The pants had been on my wishlist for a while, and are even more versatile than I imagined. I’ve paired them with everything from striped tees to a strappy tank, and I can’t wait to match them up with a chunky sweater, once the weather allows. The shirt I love because it’s light and breezy and the floral print isn’t necessarily season-specific.

Maxi dress / Stitch Fix // Bag / Shaffer LA from the Box of Style // Sunnies / Amazon
I can always go for another maxi dress, and although this version is a tiny bit snug, I love how long it is (floor-grazing with low wedges), and the mixture of turquoise and navy is so pretty.

Top & Pants / Stitch Fix // Bag / American Eagle // Sandals / Seychelles // Sunnies / Amazon
Initially, I thought that this tank was a little big on me, but I grew to love its airy, flowyness and the fringe looks so cool when you walk. It does kind of stick to my pants a bit when I’m just standing, but I’m hoping a spray of Static Guard will help.

Top / Stitch Fix // Jeans / Old Navy // Sandals / JcPenney // Necklace / LA find // Sunnies / Amazon
This lace top was definitely a size too large for me, so I exchanged it for one smaller. This was my first time exchanging something at Stitch Fix, and the process was quite smooth. At checkout, I just hit the “exchange” button, selected a new size, and I received the smaller top within days. I’ve never seen a top with a lace overlay and a brighter tank peeking out from underneath, and again, loving the turquoise/navy color combo.

Top / BohoCheri // Jeans / Stitch Fix // Sandals / JustFab // Necklace / Kyle Chan Design // Bag / Shaffer LA from the Box of Style // Bracelets / Forever 21 & LA find // Sunnies / Amazon
I didn’t know if I’d like these cropped, frayed jeans, but they’ve totally grown on me! They’re the perfect length for late summer/early fall and pairing with lace-up sandals.

All in all, a near perfect fix, and all of this without even requesting anything specific! It pays to stick with the same stylist for a while, because they really get to know what works for you. To sign up for Stitch Fix, feel free to use my link here. Each fix is a $20 styling fee up front, which is redeemable towards the purchase of anything you’re sent.
