When I was in Nashville for one of my girlfriend's bachelorette's this summer I stopped a girl in the bar to ask her where she bought her dress, and then proceeded to buy it on my phone while I waited for my drink at the bar. This is the dress! It was an H&M steal! Less than $35! It's very light weight, which is perfect for this Chicago heat! The high slit and flowy top make it a flirty date night option. I've paired it with my Cole Haan bow sandals that I've been wearing a lot of this summer. They are such a great summer staple!

A Sucker for Seersucker
I am OBSESSED with this dress! I wish I would have found it earlier in the summer, because I plan on wearing it until it starts snowing--that's how much I love it. I have been seeing a lot of off-the-shoulder dresses and tops, and was apprehensive to try the trend (mainly because I hate strapless bras), but I'm so glad I did! The bow on the front neckline was the perfect touch to this sweet dress! I've paired the dress with my bow flats, and another one of my grandma's vintage Chanel bags. Oh! And the best part about this dress? It's less than $20!! Thank you Amazon! Shop the size: Dress - Small | Bow Sandals - 9Shop this look: Seersucker Dress | Bow Sandals … [Read more...]
Pink and White
I love mixing and matching pink and white; together, they are so girly! I put this outfit together while fantasizing about what it must be like to own a boat. Can't you just imagine sailing in this outfit? The preppy gingham shoulder on the Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt is a nice touch on a relatively simple zip-up. Unfortunately they aren't selling this exact Shep Shirt at the moment, but they frequently change out their Shep Shirts, so I'd keep checking if you are interested in this particular color combo. I've linked to two similar options below. The jeans I'm wearing are the same jeans I featured in an earlier post, and are still such an awesome deal (now marked down to $25!). I finished the look off with some classic Sperry boat shoes (completely feeding into my boating fantasy).

Black Dress Wedding Guest
Congrats to Julia & Pat! This past weekend I went to a beautiful wedding at an art museum. I love to wear color but I love a black dress even more. This Torn by Ronny Kobo dress is probably one of my new favorites that I will wear over and over again (this will be time 4!). Its so flattering, comfortable and looks amazing. With the high neckline I decided to do a fancier earring than I'm used to, even though it was still a stud (my ears are so small I get scared to wear dangly or heavy earrings). These are a favorite of mine because my son was born in February and my husband bought me amethyst jewelry to remember the occasion (like we would forget!). I wore a matching bracelet and a t strap heel to dress it up. The black clutch is a Louis Vuitton that I got as a gift. Its such a simple design there are similar options on any price scale!
