Florals & Stripes

Dress: eShakti || Bracelet: Shop Urbanite || Ring: Silpada || Earrings: Francesca's ||

 Heels & Clutch: JustFab || Lip: Covergirl Jumbo Gloss Balm

 

I absolutely adore the pairing of stripes and florals, it creates such a fun, loving pop, I just can't get over!  I was on the market for a dress that I could wear for work and play, luckily I found eShakti!  I was instantly drawn to the beautiful colors in this dress and eShakti's amazing customizability. I was able to choose the length of the hemline for this dress. The longer length makes it so easy to transform this dress from work to play. I also, was able to pick this neckline, which flatters my face shape (heart). The length and empire waistline, gives this dress a total 50's feel (making it a blast to wear). I loved modernizing it with glam accessories, sexy hot pink heels and a striped clutch.

P.S. This day was beyond hot & humid, don't mind my fizzy hair! AH!

As Relaxing as a Day at the Beach

Get the look // Shirt: J. Crew/ Skirt: Target/ Bangles: Silpada & Alex & Ani/ Necklace: Francesca's/ Earrings: J.Crew

Looking for a laid back, stylish outfit? Ya know, the kind you wear at the beach or relaxing by the lake. This is it! I think this kind of pulls in the denim on denim trend without actually doing denim on denim, which I adore.  Maxi skirts are feminine yet so comfy which is perfect for a night on the deck overlooking the bay.  For me being in PA, unless I'm on vaca I am overlooking a lake or river which is the next best thing to me! The point is it's almost summer and if you want to be comfy and cute while relaxing, grab a denim button down and maxi skirt and head to the closest body of water and enjoy that sunshine in a look that will turn heads, yet have you feeling like you are in your PJs. I loved how this Francesca's necklace accented the pink trim in this J. Crew denim shirt and captured the blue in this skirt from Target.

Friday Night Brights aka,The Game Changer

There's just something about Spring time and Summer nights. Though, I am usually in agreement with my best friend's rule of thumb, "sequins are only to be worn on New Year's Eve," I have to say this dress was, "The Game Changer". I mean who could resist this Francesca's gem! The combination of the detailing and simmer is something you don't see every day and it instantly caught my eye.  I couldn't believe it when I found these stunning pumps from JustFab. They looked like they were just waiting to be worn with something as fabulous as this dress(insert drool). I was dieing to pair these two together and once I did...needless to say, this game changer was the perfect exception to the rule.

 

One of my favorite things about summer is all the color that is in the scenery and in the clothing. It truly breaks up my love affair with wearing that little black dress and inspires me to be adventurous. I like to try new things with fashion and experience new excursions outside in the beautiful weather. What are your "Must Do's" for the summer? I'm always looking for new things to get out and do, I would love to hear yours!

 

Have a fabulous Friday! May your day be short and your drinks strong!

Florals & Fringe, Need I Say More?

Florals and Fringe, need I say more?

I loved romping around in this boho attire while I spent the day brunching and touring Blue Hound Farm with my soon to be sister-in-law and her other bridesmaids! (a.k.a, a perfect Sunday) After we enjoyed a to die for brunch at Home 231, we were off to explore her and my brother's enchanting venue, Blue Hound Farm. This place is seriously so endearing and catches your eye with all the little rustic details. I cannot wait for their special day and am so blessed to be apart of it! This look is one of my favorites! I'm sure you can see why, me being the material/texture addict that I am! I added more burgundy to my hair too! Have to switch it up every once in a while! A. Roland Salon is my savior in hair and facial products!

Office flare

Obsessed with this look. I love bringing my boho, shabby chic, vibe to the office! Finding a way to work my fun, carefree pieces into a more conservative business attire style is the true definition of #brandom. 

What's your #brandom?
