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

Love for Linen

Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend! It has been crazy busy over here between getting together with friends and starting to pack for our trip to Europe next week! I'm so stressed about packing though. Does this happen to anyone else?! What are some of your travel secrets to staying sane right before a trip? I always feel like I'm going to forget something. Ahh!

Anyway, I wanted to share this adorable midi dress with you guys today! There's just something about a linen dress that feels SO summer, and the material is light and airy on top of that to help keep you cool on those super hot days! I love how the midi length balances out the cutout waist - proportion is key when playing with cutouts like this, and this dress from Tobi (www.tobi.com) is actual perfection! I accessorized with some pops of pink to make my look a little more playful. I bought these shoes in multiple colors because they are so incredibly comfortable, and can we also talk about how cute this clutch is?! I'll definitely have these on repeat this summer. Happy shopping loves! xoxo

It's All in the Details

The small details are what takes an outfit from good to great, such as the fringe at the bottom of this Taylor & Sage Cardigan, or the gold heel on these Sam Edelman pumps (although I wouldn't advise walking around in them on icy, snow-covered roads). These details add another element to the look, and provide for a fun, interesting twist. Fringe has been extremely popular this year, whether it's found on that statement leather bag you've been drooling over, or on the sleeves of the LBD that just arrived in your size. If you get a chance, experiment with this trend! I chose to pair my fringe cardigan (which is beyond soft, btw) with a boyfriend tshirt and high-waisted skinny jeans. For the final touch, I added a monogram necklace from anthropologie and dyed cow hair pumps from Sam Edelman. Links below - happy shopping loves!
