Maxi at the Mansion

August 30, 2015

I’ll be honest, it’s been a little while since I rented something from Rent the Runway that I loved as much as this maxi dress from BCBGMAXAZRIA. The printed lace detail is just gorgeous, it fits like a dream (although a smidgen too long for the heels that I wore), and it can really be dressed up or down.

When brainstorming a location to shoot this beauty, my photographer, Holli, instantly thought of the Kimberly Crest mansion. We’d both been to swanky events hosted there, and every one has been memorable due to the fantastic scenery. This place holds so much history and drama and is truly at it’s prime around sunset.

Polka Dot Midi Dress

August 23, 2015

Another fun piece from the I Heart Ronson line at JcPenney!
When it’s as hot as it has been in, I long for lightweight printed dresses and bare sandals (not to mention, my hair off of my neck!) to keep me cool. I found this dress recently on JcPenney’s website and knew I would love it for running around town, although with a couple of tweaks, I could totally wear it to work.

Flamingo Set

August 21, 2015

When I was perusing JcPenney’s website the other day for fun little things to help decorate with for our upcoming housewarming anniversary party (any excuse to throw a party, right?!), I couldn’t help wandering over to the I Heart Ronson section. I’ve found some really cute, well-made tops from this line for work before and love that the inventory changes so frequently. I fell in LOVE with this top and skirt set as soon as I saw it… Playful, flattering, kind of cheeky, but still work-appropriate. With eBates, a coupon code, and their already reasonable prices, both of these items were under $35 total! I would definitely pair the top with some skinny black pants or blue jeans, and the skirt with a black top or white T-shirt and sneakers to casualize (that’s not a word, autocorrect?!) the look.

Say hi to Holli!

Geometric Wrap Dress and JC Wedges

August 5, 2015

I thought I would finally share an outfit on here before letting it loose on Instagram! This cute little get-up was worn to a dinner with my photographer and then a short stroll around town.

The dress, necklace, and clutch were all found at Scarlet Threads Consignment sale, the event I volunteer and sell at. The total for the three was less than $30! The shoes, however, were purchased along with several other things during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. I saw one of my favorite bloggers, Alyson Haley at Sequins and Things, wearing them and she had mentioned how comfortable they are. I did not find that to be the case, and have since returned them (and am still recovering from all of the blisters!)
