Floral Frenzy

I am totally loving all things floral right now! I thought I'd share with you just a few of them today! 
1. Floral Crown-really loving this one from a local boutique, Savoir Faire, and it comes in so many colors! I'm thinking about purchasing the pink one! It's just so happy!

2. Floral Necklace-This J. Crew necklace is beautiful! The bright colors with gold plating make it the perfect piece to add to a LBD for a night out, or would be great with jeans and a white tee-(I am a big fan of casual attire mixed with bold jewelry to make a statement). this piece is absolutely stunning!

3. Floral cardigan- This floral paisley cardigan from another one of my local favorites, E. Leigh's boutique is just great! I love the shape and how easy it is to throw on and instantly make a basic outfit trendy! Also, the model, Megan, helped me one day when I was in the store, and was just SO sweet, I have become a repeat customer because the girls I've encountered there have been so genuine and helpful!

Hippie Chic

Okay, so I just ran across this adorable crochet top, and whenever I think crochet I think of hippies, but this has a sweet chic twist with the floral cut outs! AND it's on sale!! I think it would be really cute paired with denim cut offs! I'm currently debating on getting it! What do you all think? and how would you style it?

Happy Monday!

happy monday!
Anyone doing anything fun today? I actually have the day off so my monday isn't so bad! I went to lunch with a friend and have been crafting for my wedding on the patio today! I decided to feature my Outfit of the day:

I'm wearing a beaded crop top (forever 21), high waisted denim shorts (Citizens of Humanity), Steve madden beaded sandals (Dillard's), Michael Kors Watch (Dillard's), and Fuschia tear drop earrings (Francesca's). 

I love an easy and casual outfit, especially on a Monday, and this is just that!

What's your favorite look for Monday's?

Pool Wear

While I love summer, I have only been able to spend ONE day by the pool all summer, but let me tell you, it was glorious! Last weekend was my bachelorette party and Saturday afternoon we laid out by the pool, pink drinks in hand ;) While I have only spent that one day at the pool, I find myself shopping for/buying a lot of swim suits! Here are some bottoms that are on my wish list!

American Apparel High Waisted Cheetah

I just love the high waisted vintage inspired bottoms! I think they would be so cute with a solid bright colored top!

What are your favorite swim suit trends this season?

Have a great week!

Five Fall Fundamentals

With Fall right around the corner it's time to start getting those trendy pieces for your wardrobe! These are five trends that I think are fundamentals for this fall!

1. STUDS-whether you prefer studded booties, or a stud-covered clutch, studs are the perfect accent to edge up an outfit! My favorite is this cozy sweater with shoulder studding from Neverfullydressed.co.uk

2. PRINTED DENIM-From florals and laces to dip-dye and polka dots, printed denim is definitely a must-have for fall. If you want to opt out for something that isn't necessarily an all-over pattern, but still be to a bold statement go for something like these AG aztec side-print leggings!

3. PEPLUMS-In all prints, patterns, and colors, peplums are the perfect trend for every occasion! Found on dresses and tops, peplums can be dressed up in silky fabrics or dressed down in a cotton tee! My favorite is this vegan-friendly peplum top from piperlime.com! 

4. BOOTIES-This fall booties are hotter than ever! Flat or with a heel, they are perfect with everything from jeans to dresses.  I love these tribal blanket booties by Steve Madden, available @ Dillards.

5. STATEMENT NECKLACES- I believe that accessories can make or break an outfit, and stocking up on statement necklaces can ensure to keep the same outfits fresh and different.  This bright colored sapphire bib necklace from Reddressboutique.com will be sure to make every outfit pop!
