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!

Sachin + Babi Geisha Dress

August 19, 2015

I had been considering renting this Sachin + Babi dress from Rent the Runway for months, and finally just decided to take the leap! It’s a very… interesting design and I can’t say it’s the most flattering for someone with the curviness that I have. That being said, it definitely turns heads, and the fabric feels so luxurious. I probably wouldn’t rent it again but it was fun to twirl around in for the afternoon 🙂

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.

Geometric faux-wrap dress -thrifted- similar Beaded necklace – vintage-similar Wrap leather clutch – vintage-similar Cut-out wedges – Jeffrey Campbell Glasses – Warby Parker Belt – JcPenney Ring – LA find

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!)
