Grey Cardi & Cropped White Denim

October 4, 2016

Grey Cardi & Cropped White Denim - Full Fall LookWelcome another perfect summer-to-fall transitional outfit. This grey cardi & white cropped denim look would have been the perfect thing to wear on a summer day with sandals and minus the sweater. Adding another layer on top and swapping out the sandals for ankle booties makes it ideal for wearing as the temperatures start to drop, also proving another way that you can wear white after Labor Day (check out my other post on the subject here).
I think transitional dressing really revolves around layering. A cropped jacket or knit cardigan are great for throwing on over a dress or tank top. Tights and ankle or knee-high boots can add coverage so you can keep wearing skirts and dresses towards the end of the year. Throwing on a crew-neck knit sweater over a button-down shirt adds warmth and an adorable preppy vibe. It’s also another great chance to accessorize with knit beanies, chunky scarves and textured tights. Sorry, I just love fall dressing so much, sometimes I start to ramble! Anyway, I really adore this outfit for how comfortable it is and how it takes some typically summer items that you might normally think to store away after September, and gives them longevity throughout the year.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on subscription services like Stitch Fix. Do you think they really get your style? Do you trust someone to pick pieces for you? Or do you like the idea of having a personal stylist?

Floral Maxi & Strappy Heels

March 5, 2016

Floral Maxi & Strappy Heels Nothing feels quite like the beginning of spring like a floral print maxi dress. This one in particular, with the high slits that allow a breeze to pass through, the bright and cheery pattern, and the fluttering kimono-like sleeves.. It’s pretty much love all around. I also love that you can dress it up a bit, with some crystal-emblazoned accessories, or down, with just some flip-flops to lounge poolside.
This dress is one of the many items I’ll be stocking my closet with this summer from BohoCheri boutique. They have everything from airy tops to jeans to maxis and tanks to get you through the warmer seasons (not to mention, all of the fun festivals that are coming up!) Check out their Instagram page for more outfit inspiration.
Speaking of summer plans, there was a baby hiccup in making our travel plans to Puerto Rico. We will have to leave a day earlier than the rest of the wedding party, so Mark and I will have more time to explore the historic areas of San Juan by ourselves. I very much look forward to checking out the Castillo San Felipe del Morro (a gorgeous castle with incredible views and lighthouses), dining at places like Greengos Caribbean Cantina and Casa Cortes ChocoBar, and shopping along the Calle del Cristo.

A Walk in the Park

January 17, 2016

Hooded2 Hello loves!
I hope this post finds you thriving in this sometimes daunting part of the new year! Resolutions have been made, lifestyle changes have begun to take place, and I wish for everyone a happy and healthy month. I’ve been attempting (mostly successfully) to channel a lot of my stress into committing to the 21 day fix/Beachbody program. I was introduced to the plan by Shannon at Layered by Cake, who connected me with my coach, Caitlyn (also the winner of our #weekwithoutjeanschallege). I met up with Caitlyn to deliver her prize, we ended up chatting for hours, and I discovered that she was involved with a lifestyle company called BeachBody.
I’ve been on the fix for 20 days now and will be taking a few days break before starting up again. I really feel like it’s a great way to get on a healthy, fit track. I have so much more energy, my clothes have been fitting more loosely, I feel stronger, and it actually does make me feel good to know that I’m doing something great for my body! Shakeology is hella expensive, but I love it mixed I with spinach and fruit (especially mango & strawberries or peanut butter and frozen cherries, yum!) in the morning for a nice energizing boost and the knowledge that I’ve gotten in a fruit, a vegetable & a protein before I even leave the house!
Whatever methods you use for creating a healthier lifestyle, I hope you have fun and enjoy discovering new ways of allowing yourself to feel better! 😀

Subtle Stripes with Ruby Accents

January 2, 2016

DFT- Caroline Favorites - 92Well hello, loves!
I wanted to share with you two companies I’ve been loving working with recently… StitchFix & Rocksbox. Stitchfix is a type of styling service that sends you 5 items they think you may like based on very extensive surveys and questions about your style, body shape, etc. After receiving the package, you figure out what you like, and send back the rest within 3 days of arrival. If you buy everything in the box, like I did last time, you get 25% off your total order! That usually means getting a free item and a % off another. This striped, super soft sweater was in my last box, and I knew I would get so much use out of it this winter. I’ve been adoring the pairing of stripes and leopard, and the scales of these particular prints work so well together 🙂 If you’re interested in signing up, feel free to use my link here 😉
On to Rocksbox, the designer jewelry subscription service that sends you 3 items at a time to wear to your heart’s content, then send all of them back or keep what you like at a discounted price. My first box included this gorgeous ruby crystal necklace, a hammered gold “X” ring (which you’ll see in my next post), and a double-layered delicate chain necklace with a tiny, rhinestone-covered sphere. It’s only $19 a month, and if you sign up here using my code dressedfortimexoxo, you get your first month free!
