Rose Print Dress c/o || Embellished Mules || Sunglasses || Circle Bag || Rose Gold Love Bangle || Jackie Kennedy Cascade Ring ||

I'll always be a girl who falls head over heels in love with a dress. The femininity and romance a dress can evoke always gets me, especially when one has all the charm of a vintage style! This rose print dress has a 1960's feel to it and the quint essential fit and flare style. Chichwish has the best "prom" style dresses. Every time I wear this style, I always get sooooo many compliments. They truly are eye catching and ever so chic. I always feel the most like myself when wearing dresses like this. would wear one everyday if I could! This fits true to size (wearing a size small) and is under $53. The afternoons are still warm making it a great to continue to wear your favorite dresses.

Lemon Aid Dress // Water Hyacinth Bag

Hello all and happy Friday eve! I can hardly believe that tomorrow rings in a new month and a new season with it. Crazy how fast time flies by. While I'm super excited for fall to arrive, I'm still enjoying every last drop of summer that there is. One thing I always miss about summer is just throwing on a dress and heading out the door. It's a no fuss outfit that always looks effortlessly chic. While I do love to layer in the fall, I'll still always miss the ease of a simple dress. This dress reminds me of lemon aid and its only $20! Such a steal. I love that it has some sleeves on it too, which makes it have a shirt dress feel. Oh! This dress has pockets too! I'm obsessed with dresses that have pockets, haha.

I wore this bag recently in my previous two posts and adore how big and roomy it is without looking too overwhelming on my small frame. It looks like a straw bag, but its actually made out of water hyacinth! Pretty cool, right?! It's very light weight too, which is great for when I need to put all of my everyday essentials in it and then carry it around all day. It's only $22.86 too, which is an awesome price for a well made bag. I've been talking with the company over the past few weeks and they are very reputable and friendly. No complaints here. All of the bags are hand crafted too. I recently got this one to transition into fall with. I'm not ready to completely put away my straw/wicker bags yet.

Butterscotch Cardigan

in ,

One of my most favorite seasons is approaching and I simply cannot wait. As each day grows closer, I grow more and more excited with anticipation. Summer is still rocking, but around this time I like to start sprinkling fall looks into my wardrobe. Luckily, this whole upcoming week we're supposed to have "fall like" weather with cool mornings, evenings and warm sunny afternoons in the 70s. Cardigans and layering pieces are an absolute staple for me in the fall. This butterscotch one from Julie Brown NYC has a subtle golden shimmer along with ribbing and cables. The open style makes this flattering for every body type. The butterscotch shade is a beautiful neutral that will pair with a variety of items in your wardrobe. It also comes in five different shades! I'm loving the spiced wine in particular!

Pink Pom Poms

in ,

Happy Friday, friends! This dress is so cute with small bell sleeves and little pom poms along the hemline, cuffs, and around the chest. I love how feminine it is and super comfy to wear too! Plus, it's under $24! This dress has a loose fit. I'm wearing an XS for reference and found it to be roomy. While it's still summer and I'm savoring every last second of it, I'm starting to think ahead to transition outfits and the cooler weather, though they're forecasting a warmer fall this year so who knows. Regardless, I'm loving the fact that this dress can be taken from summer into fall with its thicker fabric and long sleeves. Pink is everywhere for fall and can be worn year around, which I totally love! A simple switch of the bag and shoes and you have a transition to fall outfit.

Plaid Shirt Dress // Transition Style

in ,

Nothing gets more classic than plaid in the fall. This shirt dress makes it easy to transition from the warm days of summer into the crispness of fall. The way I'm wearing it is perfect for right now with cool mornings and warm afternoons. Simply add a cozy blanket scarf and a jacket for when the weather cools down a bit. I always use leopard as a neutral in the fall so it's no surprise I added some pops of it with the rich colors of this shirt dress.

I hope everyone has been having a good week so far! We're half way through already. Counting down until the weekend, haha!

Red, White, and Blue Plaid

Plaid has always been a fall favorite of mine. It's the one pattern that I always turn to and know how easy it is to dress up or down. I personally love wearing it on the weekends for a casual cool look. This top is so comfy and will definitely keep you warm in the cooler temps. I was actually a bit too hot on our Jim Thorpe trip wearing this. The afternoon hours ended up being a bit warmer than expected. On the flip side, it's good to know how cozy it'll keep you in the crisp fall air! I love the patriotic colors, which were perfect for the Labor Day weekend.

The weather has been jumping all over the place in PA. One day it'll be nice and cool in the low 70s and then the next it'll jump right back to the humid 90s of summer. I feel that's how fall always is around my area. Layers are essential! September has always been one of my favorite months, May being the other. The sky always appears to be sapphire blue in September with still warm days and cool nights. I was always excited to go back to school too, haha. Yep, I was one of those kids. Maybe it was just the back to school shopping lol. In any case, September has that feeling of starting anew, most likely because of the new school year, just like May has the same feeling because of Spring blooming.

Fancy Feet

in ,

One of my favorite things about fashion is being able to mix and match different types of styles to make an outfit. Here, I'm mixing casual and fancy for a cute transitional look. On that note, happy September! The striped dress is a thicker material with a 3/4 sleeve. Perfect for fall weather. The weather was deliciously cool yesterday so I threw on a jean jacket, which is the one item I continually grab for once fall hits. I'm wearing a size XS in the dress and felt very comfortable in it. Totally a staple item and for only $15.99! Now, onto these gorgeous vintage inspired fancy shoes. Oh, my heart fills with joy every time I look at them! They fit true to size and are completely comfy to wear. I had mine on all day walking around and would not complain about them. They are a mary-jane style with an almond toe and the prettiest floral jewels that sparkle and shimmer beautifully. So eye catching! The block heel is also a big trend for fall.

Black Bow Tie // Pops of Pink

Zaful Lace Dress c/o || Zaful Cat Sunnies c/o || Zaful Rock Stud Heels (Great Valentino Dupes!) c/o || Ralph Lauren Bag || Christian Paul Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Jackie Kennedy Emerald Unity Band || Jewelry Be Mine Earrings c/o ||

This outfit has to be my favorite that I've worn recently. Everything about it feels chic and it just clicks. Ever have an outfit where you put it together and you instantly know its a winner? That's how this one felt that moment I put it on! The white lace dress with the black bow tie is absolutely gorgeous and comes with a nude slip underneath that is detachable. A size small fit me perfectly and the quality is fantastic. I'm so obsessed with it! Its darling for day time, but I can definitely see wearing for a fancy night out. Black and white it always a flawless combo that will never go out of style. Add in a few pops of pink and voila!, you have some fabulous flair. Any pop of color will work, but you know pink is my favorite ;)

The rock stud heels are amazing dupes for Valentino's for only $30.99! Compare that to the $900 Valentino's and well, you know which ones I'm going with! They fit comfortably and true to size. I'm wearing a 37, which is a 6 1/2 US. The cat eye sunnies are soooo cute! I love cat eye anything basically, haha. I'm definitely the cat lady =) I find that some sunnies tend to slide off of my nose, but these stayed on very well and the purple mirrored effect fit in so well with the color scheme. 

I seriously cannot believe this is the last day of August!! Time is flying by so quickly anymore. I feel as if I blink my eyes and the whole month is gone. Does anyone have any end of summer plans coming up?

Jumpsuit

in ,

Happy Friday, loves! Woohoo for the weekend! Speaking of weekends, can you believe that Labor Day weekend is next week?! Seriously, where is the time going? This jumpsuit that i'm wearing would be perfect for the Labor Day holiday whether being spent at the beach or at a backyard bbq, this is sooo comfy and feels silky against the skin. It's actually pretty flowy, but I wanted more definition to my waist so I belted it. The weather has been getting a bit warm again and this felt great to have on in the heat. I also have on another choker, which I wore to a wedding last weekend as well. It's a chic and elegant way to try out the choker trend going on. It's so light weight too, you barely notice that it's even on! This is actually the choker that convinced me to give the trend a try. I was very iffy as to whether or not I'd get one, but this totally changed my mind.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
