Happy Monday Ya’ll!! My vacation week is officially here. I just have to make it through 3 days of work, and then I will be off to Charleston with my girlfriends! It’s going to be the longest 3 days! Do you ever notice how those few work days before vacation seem to last forever?!?!
I am so in LOVE with this French Connection dress. I wore this to my cousin’s wedding a couple weekends ago. I had originally wanted a bright solid color dress, but I was striking out with all the dresses I tried on. I had pretty much given up and decided to just wear something old when I stumbled upon this dress. I was actually ordering a couple things for my trip when this dress popped up and was on sale! As soon as I saw it, I knew 1) it would be perfect for the wedding and 2) it was the perfect LBD. The lace panel is my favorite part of this dress. It really takes this dress from just a normal fit and flare to something special. The dress is a super comfy stretch material, so it was easy to dance and move in it. I added a short statement necklace to add a little detail to the neckline.
My biggest concern when I ordered the dress was the length. I’m only 5’3, so I knew the midi length could potentially be the deal breaker on this dress. The lace panel I loved so much, also means it would be hard/expensive to alter. I decided to go ahead and purchase these nude sandals to pair with the dress. A nude shoe is a great way to make your legs looks longer, and my little secret to wearing midi length skirts and dresses without looking super short and awkward. I have been meaning to buy these shoes for awhile because they work with everything from dresses to jeans to shorts. I used to think the thin straps would make these shoes uncomfortable, but honestly they do give your foot some good support. I have only walked in them so far, so I’ll keep you updated on my experience with them.
My dress arrived the Thursday before the wedding and fit like a glove! I was so happy with it. Unfortunately my shoes hit a delay and didn’t arrive until the Monday after the wedding. Luckily, I had an old pair of shoes from when I was a bridesmaid to wear with this dress. I was a little disappointed to not have my shoes in time, but since I know I will being wearing these for years to come I wasn’t super sad.
Hope ya’ll have a great week and thanks for stopping by!

Last night, I met up with the girlfriends’ that I am heading to Charleston with in 8 days!! We had fun talking about our trip and making last minute plans. Of course, we talked about what we were all packing. Shoes quickly came up because the streets of Charleston are not made for heels. I personally plan on bringing all flats and my trusty wedges.
This is probably my favorite shoe post every year, because I LOVE wedges!! This year I decided to stick to neutral wedges because I am totally on a nude shoe kick right now. I also broke them down into price range for you. If I could afford it, I would own all the splurge options!! I can’t even pick a favorite, because they are all super cute. For now, I will just wait for them to go on sale. You can find some really great options for under $100 too. I own pair two and wear them all the time! I was really happy when I saw they were brought back this season, because they really are a great wedge sandal that works with everything. Fun fact about the under $150 section, one of them is made by Ugg! I had no idea they even made wedges let alone amazingly cute ones!!
A few of these are included in the Shopbop Sale happening right now. Head to yesterday’s post for my full sale roundup. Now I am off to attempt putting the finishing touches on my Shopbop order, because I am having the hardest time narrowing my wish list down! Although the fact that a few items are already sold out in my size helps. Hope you all have a great day and thanks for stopping by!!
SHOP THE WEDGES!

Hey there Monday!! I had such a busy weekend that Monday seemed to sneak up on me this week. My cousin’s wedding was this weekend, and it was gorgeous! I posted what I wore over on Instagram, but I also plan on shooting it for the blog too. The shoes I ordered to wear with the dress don’t come in until today, so I wanted to wait to shoot the look how I originally planned on wearing it. Luckily, I had plenty of backup shoe options!
I’m also getting ready for a really fun girl’s trip that I’m taking in a couple weeks. We are heading to Charleston, and I am so excited to get to really explore this city with friends. I’m slowly planning my outfits for the trip, and I’m hoping to share little bit about how I pack for a vacation and a fun little travel guide of our trip to Charleston. Just a few things to look forward too!
I recently purchased a few pairs of flat shoes for my trip because Charleston is such a walking city. These lace-up flats are a shoe I have been searching for for awhile. I was kind of picky about what I wanted from no metal studs, to the lace design on the top of the foot, and I wanted them under $100. I bought these during a sale, but regular price they still aren’t bad at $70. They are a year-round shoe style, and one I can wear to the office with skirts.
This whole outfit may end up going on my trip with me. I definitely plan on bringing my denim jacket. It’s such an amazing and versatile closet staple. I toss it on with casual looks like this one and over dresses too. My look today is super neutral, so the jacket adds a little color. I also added in some fun colorful jewelry and my pink bag for a few more pops of color. This little crossbody bag is 100% coming on my trip! It’s the perfect size to hold my big DSLR camera along with all my other purse things. This color is sold out, but they do still have it in a darker pink color and some other fun colors too!
So I have to mention my black and gold bangle, it is actually a hair tie attached to a bangle. It’s the coolest thing ever! One of my blogger friends had one, and I really wanted one! I was super excited to receive one in a swag bag at a blogger brunch a few weeks ago. Definitely coming on my trip with me!
Hope ya’ll have a great Monday and thanks for stopping by!

Hey Friends! I hope ya’ll had a wonderful weekend!! I decided to avoid the malls and did all my sale shopping online in my pajamas with coffee in hand this weekend. Even though I love going to the store to shop and browse, there is just something about being able to shop in my pjs that is fabulous!! I had a pretty wonderful Easter too. I went over to my Grandma’s, ate too much food, and then threw confetti eggs at family members. 🙂 I’m pretty sure I may still have some rogue confetti in my hair today. Overall it was a pretty relaxing weekend!
I purchased this long cardigan last Thursday, and it’s so incredibly soft and comfy that I decided to wear it to work on Friday. I have a major thing for cozy long cardigans. Our weather took a cool turn last week, so this bright blue cardigan was perfect for the cool spring weather. This color is also ON SALE, this little sale price was also why I bought it in pink too. I like that it’s more of a lightweight cardigan, so I can wear it to the office in spring and summer. It also comes in a few other colors, but not all of them are on sale right now. I really like the two colors on sale, because they are such fun and bright colors. I own lots of neutrals, so I like to have a few pop of color pieces to toss on.
By the way, I found my sleeveless top available again. The color is slightly lighter than what I have on, but it is on sale. I hope ya’ll have a great week, and check back Wednesday because I styled my fun fringe sandals with a favorite spring dress of mine. See ya’ll then!
