Summer is for flowy maxis. Always. My Amuse Society Benicia Dress is so perfect for nights out (heels) or running around during the day (flats). Adding a belt to the waistline makes the dress even more flattering. The best part its only $66. I think the gladiator sandal and brown belt give it a little more of a boho look. The entire outfit is under $100! Size the look: Dress S | Shoe 7.5 | Belt XS | Bracelet S Shop the look: Amuse Society Benicia Dress | Express Braided Back Stretch Belt | H&M Rigid Bracelet | Lulus Sandals … [Read more...]
Stripe Muse Dress
Usually I shy away from stripes because I'm curvy and they only accentuate that. However, a thick stripe is perfect for me and I love a baggy sweater dress for the transition from summer to fall. This Spiritual Gangster ( I will always love that brand name) Stripe Muse Dress is so comfortable! My purse is from Old Navy and perfect for storing everything under the sun. I use it daily as my work bag/gym bag/lunch bag because it fits all of that! Everyone loves my boots. My mom and I found them in a boutique in Boston after we went searching for comfortable walking shoes (these were not them) and found these boots on sale and fell in love. The red sole is deceiving since they were under $300 and not Louboutins (the brand is called Oh Deer!)! Unfortunately they are about 7 years old but I found a comparable option!

We're going with a hot air balloon "theme" (the theme is really just Christopher haha). Here's a sneak peak of the sample we looked at today. … [Read more...]
St. Lucia
Its my anniversary and Katie is getting married soon!! Our wedding dates will be three years and three days apart....I sense some joint anniversary trips in our future. Because who doesn't need an excuse to vacation with friends! Katie is planning on taking a fabulous honeymoon to Europe but my husband and I went a little more tropical with ours in St. Lucia. It was one of the most beautiful places I have been and I can't wait to go back. My husband and I love to embrace the culture of places we visit so we ventured off the resort a few times for hikes, zip lining and a fish fry. It was technically the end of rainy season when we were on the island so during the day we would get a light mist with the sun still beating down on us. It was perfection. Fun facts. The Bachelors, Juan Pablo and Jake Pavelka, proposed in St. Lucia. Jake did it at our very resort. Our marriage is having a little better luck than their engagements :) There's a rumor that Kim & Kanye stayed at the same … [Read more...]
