So... to say work has been crazy lately would be an understatement... just a lot going on.  I always try to start the day off doing something that takes the edge off and outfit planning is just that for me. Being that I work in a very conservative environment.... I can't quite get by with wearing sundresses and sandals all summer. So to keep my personality showing through in my looks I add colors and patterns to keep me feeling like myself.

This dress is such a great layering piece... I know it will work well for layering for fall and winter, but for now I am loving the print and light texture paired with a simple blazer. Speaking of blazers... have you checked out the stock at Forever 21 right now??? OMG! Amaze! The prices are so great and the color and pattern selection is to die. I went for this great magenta shade, but I will definitely be going back for more to stock up for my fall work wardrobe.

When I showed these amazing shoes on insta I got a lot of questions. One word: SHOEDAZZLE! I have had the best luck with them this summer. I love the blush and magenta combo! They are quite the steal and I highly recommend them.

Lastly, I have been layering with my Moon and Lola hashtag necklace for weeks now and it is finally available on their site! Love this thing! The clear acrylic really goes with everything and is so dainty and understated.

I hope you have a wonderful start to the week!

Thanks for reading!

Just popping by with another look from the honeymoon. I wore this our last day to explore Vineyard Haven, one of my favorite spots. I purchased this top back in the spring from Anthro and while it isn't available online I have a feeling you can still spot it in store! I love the peplum and the texture of the fabric, perfect for summer.

The jeans were a last minute find when I was in Dover. I quickly realized I didn't pack enough warm clothes for the trip. I found these gems for $15. The pink is such a great shade and they fit like a glove. I am obsessed!

My scallop flats were perfect for sightseeing. Lucky for you guys they are on major sale right now!!! 

I hope you had a lovely holiday!!! Thanks for reading!

Sunnies: Shop Ruche | Earrings: Baublebar+Anthropologie | Watch: Michael Kors | 

Bracelets: J Crew, J Crew | Lip: Candy Yum Yum + Girl About Town gloss | Nails: Cute as a Button, essie

Yellow is an obsession of mine. So when I found this gem while browsing Anthropologie, I couldn't help myself. The lace and chiffon underlay were just too adorable to pass up. I was also a nervous wreck due to my dress fitting being postponed an hour... That's just not something a gal wants to wait for. 

Rough weekends always call for rule breaking... so once again I am rocking the white denim before Easter... sorry not sorry. I am obsessed with my Reid jeans from J Crew... and I will not stop wearing them just because of some "silly rule". 

Open toes were necessary when our original forecast for rain and snow Sunday turned to sunshine. Hallelujah! I cannot take any more cold! Let's just hope it's here to stay.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Friday!!! I feel like I say this every week, but I am really ready for this one! Ready for a new week, ready for a fresh start, and ready for a full week of spring!!!

Peak of the week: this bag! I have loved the scallop look for such a long time, but really never found a great non-designer bag that didn't have a cheap look to it. When I saw this bag on Asos.... I just had to have it! I don't tend to wear much of this shade, but knew it would be a great color pop for neutral outfits and look amazing with my frequent pink palette. The quality is amazing considering the price (under $40!!!)

I've been living in denim crops the last few weeks... I think I just love the effect of longer legs. (I'm only 5'5") These were an amazing find last spring, but they are still available. I've purchased many items from Level 99 (the denim line made by Anthropologie) and have yet to be disapointed! The fit is amazing and the quality makes them a building piece for any wardrobe.

I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

PS- reason for title today=  Old School Music played during my commute today! Loving it!

But I want more than a touch I want you to reach me  And show me all the things no one else can see So what you feel becomes mine as well And soon if we're lucky we'd be unable to tell What's yours and mine the fishing's fine And it doesn't have to rhyme so don't feed me a line But you Why you wanna give me a run-around Is it a sure-fire way to speed things up When all it does is slow me down- Blues Traveler

Spring Stripes

Top: J Crew, love this | Denim: 7FAM | Heels: ZooShoo | Bag: H&M | Sunglasses: Anthropologie | 

Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelet: J Crew | Lip: Pink Neauvou

Stripes are a necessity in my life. When I'm on the struggle bus in the morning, I always reach for something striped and instantly my look is pulled together. I bought this top last year from J Crew and don't wear it often enough. The embroidered detail adds interest and a fresh wash of color.

I'm loving neons right now, these pumps have been in my cycle of shoes for a couple months and I still keep reaching for them! I just love yellow! I'm loving these from J Crew also... Maybe Easter shoes?

After a trip to the doctors office this morning, I found out I have strep! This crazy weather is about to get the boot! My body was not made for this!

I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by! Make sure to stop by in the morning! I'm starting a new series to focus more on my wedding planning process, as promised! This will be a weekly series every Wednesday leading up until the wedding! Super exciting news! I'll see you there!

Toughen Up

Jacket: Forever 21 (obsessed!!) // T-shirt: J Crew // Skirt: Nordstrom, similar // 

Heels: Sole Society // Sunglasses: Tory Burch // Bag: Forever 21 // Watch: Michael Kors // 

Lips: Pink Neauvou (my go to lately)

When I bought this jacket, I have to admit that I felt a little out of character. I struggle with edgy pieces. I always end up loving them, but adopting new things isn't a strong suite of mine.  I think the feminine details of the jacket make it a little more "me". The quilting is very chanel-esque and gives the jacket a more expensive look. If I didn't know where it was from, I would have thought it was much more expensive.

A way I make myself comfortable in tougher, edgier pieces is to add something soft and feminine. I thought the soft pink of the skirt helped to soften the edges. I always love adding new pieces to my wardrobe, but finding ways to make them my own is super important!

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I spent mine being super sick and cooped up at home. Talk about a major bummer. I have so much to get done in the next couple months for the wedding so weekends are crazy important! Here's to hoping I feel much better tomorrow and can get back on track! 

Have a great day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Neon Sparkle

Tee: Forever 21, similar // Denim: Hudson, white version here // Bag: Forever 21 ($24.80!!!!) // Baseball Cap: Forever 21, similar // 

Sneakers: Old Navy (kids) // Earrings: Forever 21 // Sunglasses: Tory Burch // Watch: Michael Kors // Bracelet: J Crew // Lip: Pink Neauvou 

I feel like such a kid in this outfit... and kind of a like a soccer mom. Which is actually fitting considering where I am in life right now.  There's just something about throwing on a ball cap when you're having a bad hair day... it's kind of like washing away the bad and carrying on.  I've been having some major hair struggles lately... and a hat was definitely necessary this day.

I have been having some serious luck at Forever 21 lately. The bag I'm wearing came in at $24.80. It's always super nice to find outfit add-ons at bargain prices. If you're in the market right now check out the info below for what I'm loving from the accessories shop online.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Here are my Fab F21 Finds:

Faux Fur It

Vest: random ebay find, similar // Top: Forever 21, similar // Denim: Old Navy // Flats: Old Navy // 

Necklace: Benevolent Jewels (use code LFCODE20 for 20% off) // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // 

Watch: Michael Kors // Bracelet: J Crew // Lip: Lady Danger

Just one last time... I had to go with the faux fur. I am so happy to see spring make an appearance, but so sad to let my furry pieces go into the shadows of my closet. I feel like I spent a large majority of the winter looking for the perfect faux fur vest... it's hard to find something that isn't uber expensive or very cheaply made. While this guy I'm wearing isn't the most fancy thing... it feels nice. has pockets, and doesn't look like I'm wearing a gorilla. (you know how some black faux fur can translate...) Sometimes ebay can surprise you! 

Another reason I'm longing for sunshine... I am a ghost! In piloxing last night I literally glowed under the flourescent lights. How embarrassing! I keep trying faux tanners, but nothing is doing the trick right now! I will let you know what I find! That's my weekend mission.

Happy Humpday! Thanks so much for reading and have a wonderful day!!!

Spring Fling

Top: J Crew // Skirt: Forever 21, similar // Heels: Michael Kors (most favorite shoes ever!) // Bag: H&M (in store only) // 

Necklace: Benevolent Jewels ((use code LFCODE20 for 20% off)) // Watch: Michael Kors // Sunglasses: Tory Burch // Lips: Pink Neauvou 

So, I have a few obsessions going on here... 1) Bag: OMG! I cannot believe I picked this up for $30 at H&M when we were in Nashville. So many bargain priced retailers are nailing it in the bag category right now! Score! 2) These heels: note... they are old, but are classics that just keep on coming back! Love my Carlas! You can't beat something that stays in production. I always love finding something I purchased years ago back on shelves again and again. That let's you know you invested in the right piece.

I'm also loving florals right now, but who isn't? Spring fever is in full swing... and while it was 70 when we took these photos... it is now 30! Just a few more weeks! Thank goodness!

I hope you have a wonderful day and thank you for reading!
