Rebecca Taylor Print Maxi

November 12, 2015

DFT University Grads46 Dress number two from Rebecca Taylor by way of Rent the Runway. Another gorgeous print I fell in love with! The styles are also similar, with a self-tie waist-cincher, button-down front, and ruffled cap sleeves on both dresses. The maxi flows beautifully when you walk, allowing a little leg to peek out too.
This dress would actually be the perfect thing to bring on the upcoming cruise (4 days in Catalina/Ensenada) I’m planning for! I’ve never been on a cruise before, so I’ve spent my recent downtime at work researching every little thing I shouldn’t be caught without.. I’ve already locked down my “formal dinner” gown here, and only have one swimsuit so no guessing game in that department. It’s the in-between time that I’m trying to figure out dressing for. I’d love to hear your tips on dressing for a cruise!

Graphic Nature

September 8, 2015

DSC_0033Wait, already?! The holiday weekend is almost over?! Rude. I wanted at least one more day to clean and get our house in order. Mark and I are planning on having a little party with all of our friends (so I guess a big party, ha!) and I’d love for everything to be spotless so there’s less to stress over.
I think it’s important, as a host, to not worry about tidying the day of a party. It helps set a relaxed, welcome vibe and allows everyone to focus on having a good time… and the awesome food and drinks, of course! I’m planning a seaside/nautical theme for our party this year and have already come across some great decorations for the table and found the cutest drink dispenser with a chalkboard sign attached.
I really enjoyed the polished yet totally laid-back vibe of this look. The bucket bag carries everything I could need and is comfortable to carry. These lace-up flats are incredibly comfortable, and the silk blouse is breezy and light for these still 100+ days.

Throwback Thursday

September 4, 2015

DSC_0169I knew I wanted to wear this fluid ASOS maxi skirt for this shoot but when I started styling it, I found myself gravitating towards a look I’d seen many times before.. Pretty much what was hot amongst fashion bloggers a year ago! The Old Navy cutesy quote t-shirt, the statement necklace, and the sequined clutch. I realized I’d never gotten in on the fun and posted a look of my own!

Besides being comfortable and a bit cheeky (ha!), this look even has a hint of sex appeal, thanks to a thigh-high slit in the skirt. I don’t mind that it’s not the freshest or trendiest ensemble out there because it’s still cute and perfect for a Sunday brunch, which is exactly where I wore it after these pictures were shot 😉

Casual Pineapple and My New Fave

September 2, 2015

DSC_0143It is with great pleasure that I introduce to you the newest member of my accessories family.. This lovely (and functional, it’s also a crossbody!) Botkier bag! I’d been wanting to own one of their pieces for a while, after falling in love with the Cobalt Trigger Small Satchel and the Black Trigger Crossbody I received from Rent the Runway.

This one took some effort to finally have in my possession, after the package containing it, two scarves and a necklace purchased from Rent the Runway were stolen off my front porch 🙁 I had to re-purchase it and wait another week for it to get to me, but I’ve been so happy with it ever since! It’s got oodles of places to put all of my necessities and a unique magnetic closure instead of a zipper for the main compartment.

I love a casual, effortless look like this that’s still put together. It’s always great to add in a surprising element (color, texture, print) to a white tee and jeans, and this adorable pineapple print scarf did just the trick!
