Celebrating Besties with Efy Tal

June 14, 2017

Celebrating Besties with Efy Tal Hello, loves!
For today’s post, I want to talk about something that I think is not done often enough, and that’s recognizing how amazing of our best friends are. Whether you have that one girlfriend that you’re super close with or a bevy of lovely ladies who you count as besties, it’s so important to celebrate them, and with more than a round of drinks!
My best friends have nursed me through breakups, helped me move, been there for me when times were generally crappy (being broke, single, and jobless? Yeah, only a true friend will stand beside you through all that!) But my friends are also the ones I want to tell first whenever something good happens, and ask them to celebrate with me any successes or hurdles I’ve overcome.
Besides the typical birthday or holiday gift, I think it’s so important to show your girls how much they mean to you, and I love the idea of bringing back friendship jewelry! I’m referring, of course, to the refined and completely grown-up version of the rainbow plastic and jagged heart iterations of our youth, and I love that they can still be customized to fit everyone’s personalities.
The selection at Efy Tal can not be beat for friendship jewelry, and I love that nearly every offering is under $50. I chose for my gorgeous friend Sarah and myself the Dainty Gold and Pearl Eternity Circle Bracelet, and the Asymmetrical Infinity Gold and Turquoise bracelet, respectively, to model for this post. Sarah instantly fell in love with them, and I will say, I could definitely see myself wearing both styles as well! Most pieces are available in silver and gold, with fun accents like a pearl or beads, and the bracelets have a delicate little charm and crystal where you affix them, an added detail I think is so special. This is something in the not-too-distant future to consider as well, but these are absolutely gifts that I would get for all of my bestie bridesmaids when the time comes.
If you’re interested in shopping Efy Tal for your best friends or yourself (no shame in that!), they’re offering a 30% off code to all of my subscribers with code “DRESSEDFORTIME” at checkout.

Pastels & Snakeskin

June 3, 2017

DFT- Courtyards & Sidewalks - 105 Hello, loves!
I hate to admit it, but spring is coming to a close, and we’re already seeing glimpses of a super warm summer ahead. Looking ahead, I envision lazy days, spent lounging around a friend’s pool, drinking beer or fruity cocktails, suffering a half hour in line just to get some tasty ice cream (a la minute, tryyyy it), and working out at 5 am in the dark, simply because it’s exhausting to just walk outside after 10AM.
Until then, I’m still rocking the soft pastels, feminine vibes, and my favorite of the season, bomber jackets. This time around, I wanted to pair the softer tones of blush and baby blue with slick black denim and snakeskin. I love mixing super girly pieces with more edgy ones, and I think these snakeskin pumps are the perfect accessory to tie everything together. Hope you enjoy the look!

Mixing Denim

May 26, 2017

Mixing DenimHello, loves!
It’s National Wine Day, and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t currently sipping on some Syrah right now. Red wine has longtime been a favorite of mine, and after the day I had, I was planning on coming home to a glass (or two), after work regardless of the “holiday”. Whew, it was bonkers today at the urgent care. It seemed that people today were especially grumpy, in a hurry, and overall so rude! Thankfully, I was working with someone who has a wonderful sense of humor, so we were doing our best to take things in stride.
Moving on to spring fashion, I wanted to talk about some of my favorite denim pairings! I’m wearing here one example of mixing denim, colored bottoms with a jean jacket. The look is playful, casual, and great for this weather. A fun outfit for spring and going in to summer is a white denim top or bottom mixed with a faded denim piece. I love the idea of a little pale blue denim skirt paired with a white tank and white denim jacket.
Another classic look is to pair a lighter chambray-like button-down with slightly darker jeans. I love how simple it is, but give a pulled-together vibe. With sandals or a pair of sneakers, it’s casual for brunch, and with shiny heels and a bold necklace, it’s perfect for a not-too-fancy date night.
I used to be so scared of mixing denim, for fear of that dreaded “NOT” label that some magazines used to put on the overly loose (or tight), same color outfits of the past, but I think starting off with two completely different colors is a perfect “gateway” outfit. Here’s to conquering fashion fears and exploring new ways of styling!
What’s a fashion fear that you’d like to try out? Jumpsuits? Asymmetrical hemlines? I’d love to hear!

Casual Boho Style with Ellie & Adair

May 23, 2017

Casual Boho Style with Ellie & AdairYou guys, this top.. It’s giving me all of the casual boho feels! It’s currently on sale right now at Ellie & Adair, and if you use code “VIP15”, it’s under $25!!
I’ve found that my style is constantly evolving, and is quite difficult to pin down in words, but I think that there are definitely hints of boho chic that work their way into my looks quite frequently. From floaty dresses to crochet and embellished touches, to layers of mismatched necklaces, I love infusing a bit of that carefree look into my style.
Elements of boho style can be found in many of the on-trend items for spring and summer, such as fringe, embroidery, and tassels, along with textures of crochet and raffia. I’m loving a light cardigan with embroidered patches, a breezy maxi dress with a crochet-back, and the top here, adorned with fun tassels that tie in to a bow to play with the look a bit.
