A Summer of Stripes

Hi Loves! I hope everyone had a safe and fun Independence Day! And remembered sunscreen. I did, but I didn't apply it to my legs (because they seriously never burn!), and guess what happened? They burned. Ugh.

Anyway, I wanted to tell you guys about an adorable boutique that I found recently, because they have the C U T E S T product, and all at very affordable prices! The boutique is called Versona (shopversona.com), and has locations all across the country! Even though they have multiple locations, they only get one or two size runs per style at each store, so you won't see many (or any) people walking around wearing the same outfit as you - absolutely love that! Versona has so many trendy striped options right now; perfect since stripes are SO big this summer!! I rounded up three of my favorites and have linked all outfit details below. Happy shopping Loves! xoxo

Tassels & Embroidery

Hi loves! I've been a little bit - ok actually A LOT - MIA lately, and I feel like I've been neglecting Style Sangria! I seriously feel guilty when I'm not getting new posts up for you guys!! BUT, it has been for a very good reason. The past couple weeks I have been prepping for interviews/interviewing at work for a promotion that I've been working towards for the last couple years since I started my career. All of my hard work and lack of sleep was worth it, because I received awesome news! I got the promotion, and I could not be more excited to continue advancing my career!...and back to being MIA from the blog. After all of my interviews, I caught a terrible cold, and was dealing with that for the last week. I honestly think the stress from prepping for interviews was a big reason for why I was sick. All of my hard work paid off in the end though!

Anyway, this gorgeous Aztec embroidered beauty from Loft is the perfect end of summer transition dress. The longer sleeves will allow you to wear into the early fall, and the embroidery and tassel details are very on-trend. I decided to play up the blue details in the dress by accessorizing with a blue tote and wooden block heel sandals in the same hue. Perfect for any Labor Day plans in store for this weekend! Happy shopping loves! xoxo

The Dreamiest Lace Dress

Hi loves! I'm so happy to be back and sharing my favorite fashion trends with you, although I definitely could have explored Europe for another week (or two)! I'll be sharing more about our trip in my next couple posts, but I promised I would get this dress up on the blog right away for you to shop it! I wore this dress while we were staying in Venice, and I received SO many compliments on it that I lost count! This might be one of my absolute favorite dresses of the summer because it's so unique, and can be dressed up or down. I went with more of a casual look for strolling through the streets of Venice, but this dress could be worn for anything from date night to a summer wedding.

The details on this dress are stunning, whether it's the intricate pattern in the lace, the whimsical floral embroidery, or the ruffle along the bottom. I just can't get enough!! I kept the accessories simple as to not take away from the details in the dress, and paired it with my Alex and Ani bracelets and ankle wrap gladiator sandals. Side note, I wore these sandals EVERYWHERE on our trip and they were so comfortable. Not to mention, they literally go with everything! For reference, I'm wearing a size 6 in the dress, and it runs true to size! Happy shopping loves! xoxo

Summer Brights

I love a good pop of color, and this top couldn't be any more spot on! The bright floral embroidery combined with the off shoulder silhouette (one of my favorite trends of the moment) makes this piece a standout in your closet and on the street. I paired this top with a lighter wash jean from BLANKNYC for a little contrast against the black background. Have you guys tried released hem or step hem jeans? I can't get enough of them! And the best part is that these are office appropriate for work! What are some of your favorite summer trends of the moment? Leave a comment below! Happy shopping loves! xoxo
