This dress is so beautiful for autumn. Wearing dark florals feels fall appropriate and as if you can hold on to summer just a tad bit longer. The off the shoulder bardot style is on trend and has a glam factor in the elegant sweeping neckline. I'm totally in love with the retro vibe this look has. The rose gold heels have me absolutely swooning. Oh, rose gold. I cannot help but have heart eyes for it. The 'YEAH' clutch is so cute too! It throws a fun spin on the outfit and keeps it up to date. I'm wearing a size UK 8 in the dress, but wish it had come one size smaller (UK 6.) It looks like the 8 is the smallest size available, but it was just a bit too loose in the waist.

I was absolutely beaming yesterday taking these photos because the sun had come out. It felt so good to see some sunshine! We've been socked in with so much rain this past week. The battery in my remote for the camera actually died half way through this shoot, #fail, but I was able to use my old technique of just focusing on something by where I'll be standing and then go stand by it. Ugh, I couldn't believe it. The trials of shooting your own photos haha. Speaking of this though, I've been wanting to do a post on shooting your own photos with a remote and tripod, etc. We shall see if that happens =)

Off The Shoulder Floral Print

If you've been reading this blog for a while, then you know I love floral prints whether on dresses, skirts, or tops, its the one print that has beautiful romantic qualities. This off the shoulder number from SammyDress is perfect for the end of summer and beginning of fall. I am always a bit sad to see summer leaving, but secretly (or not so secretly haha) excited for fall to get here. I'm still trying to get in as many summer pieces as I can though! I love how the dress has cute little ruffles along the sleeves, is a one size fits all with an elastic waist, and feels super comfortable to have on. I wore this dress out this past weekend while running errands with Ava and of course our daily walks and ice cream dates. It's a fantastic dress to just slip on and head out the door. It's also only $15.48!

For those of you not familiar with the company, here is aSammy Dress review from my last post with them. They sell bohemian dresses, lace and vintage reproduction dresses, trendy tops, bags, shoes, you name it. I had not heard of the company until they reached out to me, but the prices are fantastic and shipping took about 2 weeks. The same deal with all over seas companies.

Off The Shoulder Red Dress

Midi dresses have always been a favorite of mine. They have a demure allure to them, while still being fun and flirty. I love the bright red color too! It reminds me of the patriotic summer holidays or even around Christmas time. This dress would work for so many different occasions. The material is nice and thick and feels way more expensive then it is ($29.83!) It actually feels like a scuba suit and has a good stretch to it. I'm wearing a size xs, but found it to be slightly too big on me. These embellished flats have become a fast favorite of mine too. I love to wear heels and do quite often, but lets be honest, when I'm doing a lot of traveling around I like to wear a chic pair of flats. The streamlined pointed toe along with the rhinestone and sequin daisies make these stand out from the rest of the crowd! I've been wearing them every where lately since this whole past week has been one errand after the other. It's been one of those busy busy weeks!

Happy Monday, all! Lately, I've been drawn to off the shoulder tops/dresses for their easy breezy style. The tassel trim is what really caught my eye when I was viewing this dress. I mean, how fun are they?! I always picture myself wearing an item to a specific event when I'm considering buying it. Does anyone else do this? This dress, I pictured myself at the beach browsing around shops and taking in a dinner al fresco with the sea breeze gently fluttering my dress and hair. I really want summer to get here, haha! These slider sandals are my new favorite go-to for a simple, yet stylish look. The eye catching bright colorful sequin detail with the two piece upper and open toe makes these an on trend staple you'll want to wear all summer long!

Gingham is one of those prints that instantly brings to mind spring and summer. Memories of sunshine filled days spent outside enjoying life. This past weekend I got to make some new memories while wearing this black and white gingham dress, which was perfect for the occasion. My dad, Ava, Caitlin, and I all went to the Poconos for breakfast, antiquing, stopped for some ice cream, took a side trip to see a lake, and arrived home just in time for dinner. We had a great time.

The one worker at the antique store said he loved my vintage themed outfit and how perfect it was for the spring weather. For under $30, the quality of the fabric is great and has a fun filled and fancy free feeling to it. I'm already planning all of the different ways I'll be wearing this dress all summer ranging from tan accessories like I have here, to pops of red, or even all black. This dress is a maxi style, which worried me because of my height (i'm 5'2) but I added some wedges and had no problem at all, plus they are super comfy! I'm also wearing a size XS and found it to be a little bit tight. I probably could have gone with a small and had a bit more breathing room.
