Playing with Pastels


So this Thoughts for Thursday has me thinking (more like dreaming) about fall. While I'll totally be rubbing it in that its still warm here throughout the winter, just know that I'm super jealous that most of the U.S. gets to have fall....so, here we go!

The end of summer is no where in site for me, but the rest of you are slowly starting to prepare for the transition to fall as September creeps up on us. I always find that this transitional time of year is the hardest to dress for - especially if you're like me, and live in white. Once its mid-September wearing white and summery prints can be tricky - even though in states like South Carolina where its still 85 degrees. Lately I've noticed, and I'm sure you have too, that the color palate for the summer was focused on more muted hues and feminine prints. These colors and prints are the perfect items to carry you through summer and into fall.  I picked out several items that look great on summer bronzed skin and would pair well with your favorite white jeans - but, could also be paired with more earthy neutrals to take you into early fall.  One item in particular in this collection is my favorite (no, its not the crop top) - the laser cut open toe bootie pump from Ann Taylor. Last fall I bought my first pair of open toe laser cut print booties by Via Spiga, and I adore them. They give you the cool comfort of a sandal, but look a little more 'fall-ish'. I wear mine year round, but for those of you with seasons, this is a great shoe to transition you.  To shop these looks, just click the links below!

#Trending Tuesday



Hola! Tonight I'm blogging about hardware. Girl hardware. These days, if its blinging or has a chain on it, I want it -- which brings me to my latest steal from Bloomingdales. The best part of this purchase (drumrollllll...) I HAD A GIFT CARD! #ilovefreemoney

I recently became a HUGE fan of Rebecca Minkoff handbags after I saw my bestie's M.A.C handbag in Boston this past winter. I spent hours pouring over every color and style and settled on an amazing hot pink mini M.A.C -- only discover upon opening it that it was damaged. Long story short, I couldnt find the bag in perfect condition and let it go (to read more check out last week's post here). With an awesome gift card and coupon code I got courtesy of Bloomingdale's Customer Service Department, I took advantage of Bloomingdale's glorious 4th of July sale (God Bless America.) and acquired these little pretties...

I love this chunky necklace as a classic statement piece to dress up an outfit. It has traditional pearl beads, but a bright gold blingin' chain. Amazing. And this bag. Oh, this bag. Seeing as I won't be purchasing a Chanel handbag anytime soon (however if you'd like to help me achieve this goal please click feel free to send cash. :) ) I settled for this beauty. It has the signature black quilted leather and chain handle.  I adore the white leather trim and the very best part of this bag - the studs. I am not an adventurous girl, but if I'm going to do studs --- this is the way for me. I like to think its an accurate representation of my style - its classic, timeless, but it has a little sass. What trends are you loving these days??

Classic Florals

Floral patterns aren't just for Easter Sunday anymore. There are few things that are more 'classic' than a beautiful floral pattern. Sure, sometimes floral can be a little dowdy, or old fashioned, but done right this print can look chic and modern.  This flirty and feminine print can dress up a common striped shirt or dress or a plain solid dress.  I became completely hooked on florals when Ted Baker came out with the Luceey Pump (#5), and it has only gotten worse over the last few weeks! As of late, my favorite new floral piece is the zip printed leather floral clutch by K. Slademade (#3). You can dress it up with an adorable leather tassel as well. So cute!


These are just a few of my picks, what do you think? Would you rock a floral print?
