I'm back! Finally! We can attest this to me finally having a day off and taking a minor break from wedding planning. Let me tell ya, I totally underestimated the amount of time it would take from my life. Glad to be back though... and finally sharing what I wore to a good friend of mine's wedding in Asheville a couple weeks ago. (Told you I was behind)

It was the weekend after my birthday and I had taken a day off earlier in the week to honestly clear my mind and get some things done for the wedding. I ended up making that a  spa day and getting a mani, pedi, and blowout. That's what birthday girls should do though, right?

When I was at the salon, I popped over to their in house boutique to see what they had in stock. This dress immediately popped out at me. I loved the floral print and immediately thought of these shoes to throw the look together. It was perfect for the wedding on Saturday. We had a bit of a hike from the ceremony to the reception and I can't imagine how I would have managed with anything heavier. I found a great dupe and Charlemont offers phone orders if this dress is still in stock. 

I hope you are having a wonderful day and thank you so much for reading. I appreciate you baring with me through this very busy time in my life! Looking forward to a blissful summer as a newlywed with much more time on my hands!

Hi there & Happy Monday! I am definitely grateful to have had a weekend to buckle down and get some serious wedding plans accomplished. I've been a little MIA lately and I apologize. This wedding is definitely the most exciting thing in the world to me right now... but also the most stressful. I've been feeling a little overwhelmed from being pulled in so many directions with work, wedding planning, wanting to keep this blog consistent, and maintaining relationships... This weekend definitely helped me get back on track and I hope you guys understand.

The 23rd was my birthday and being that it fell on a Wednesday, we didn't really do anything special. The weekend before we celebrated with my father and Luke's parents, but Luke and I didn't really get any time alone. I was so happy when he told me we would go to Market Square for dinner last Sunday to one of my favorite spots to celebrate late. Little did I know that my three closest friends were waiting there to meet us. I was definitely surprised and also completely grateful. We are all so busy and getting together seems to get harder and harder everyday.

I loved my outfit for dinner. The shorts were a find from Loft the day before when I did a little shopping after attending a wedding in Asheville. I was so happy to finally find a pair of lace shorts that were not seriously skimpy or see through! It's been nearly impossible, but I finally found a winner! These are everything! 

Also, you know those Mari sandals from J Crew last summer that everyone was going Ga-Ga for? Yeah, this sister found them for $20 at the clearance store last weekend! I just love finding a steal!

I am trying to find pieces for the honeymoon and little by little I am filling the suitcase. These gems are definitely coming with.

Hope you have a wonderful day and thanks for reading!

Top: Gap, similar here and here and here | Denim: Loft, on sale! | Flats: ModCloth | Bag: Forever 21 | 

Sunglasses: Dior | Earrings: Tory Burch | Watch: Michael Kors on sale!!! | Bracelet: J Crew Factory | 

Necklace: J Crew, Forever 21 | Nails: Barracuda (Sally Hansen)

I'm definitely on a kick right now... a white, lace, and eyelet kick! I am also a tad bit behind on outfit posts (please bare with me... wedding planning is on overload right now! t-minus 33 days and counting!!! EEEK!) So, this is from last weekend. Luke and I spent the day together shopping for paint (home renovations are already beginning... can't wait to make our first home really ours!) The flats were a recent purchase from ModCloth that I am OBSESSED with! They come in 3 other colors and I am contemplating buying another! 

I got this top last year from Gap, but never wore it... why I don't know... but I'm pretty notorious for buying things and sometimes letting them collect dust in the closet. (hence my overload on poshmark lately... We have no closet space in the new house OOPS!) I love the detailing on the edges and it was perfect for a casual Saturday.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend & thanks for reading!

Easter Tulle

Top: Old, loving this | Skirt: L Mae Boutique, similar | Wedges: Lulu's (almost sold out) | 

Sunglasses: Dior | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelet: J Crew Factory | Earrings: Tory Burch

Obsessed doesn't even explain my love for tulle. I could have a million tulle skirts and still not have enough. So, when deciding what to wear for Easter it was really a no brainer. Tulle and pink are a match made in heaven.

My wedges were a random find when perusing the Lulu's website. I had thought they would be perfect for an upcoming bridal shower, but decided to make them my easter shoes and pull a couple things out of my closet that hadn't been getting much wear. I love the styling of this shirt. I actually have it in two colors. I thought the pink was perfect for Easter.

I always seem to have a good hair day on days it doesn't matter and when big days come up: WHAM... bad hair day! This day was the worst. I have been struggling with my hair to keep it from getting super frizzy, no such luck on Easter. Woops!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sunny Days

Dress: Old Navy | Bag: Asos | Wedges: Shoedazzle | Watch: Michael Kors | 

Bracelet: J Crew Factory | Earrings: Francesca's, similar and on sale! | 

Sunnies: Shop Ruche | Nails: Sally Hansen, Barracuda

I've never been much of a Maxi girl... maybe a skirt here and there, but NEVER a dress. I'm 5'4" and typically when I wear maxis I feel less than 5'. I would kill for a couple extra inches so throwing something on that makes me look even shorter is a no go. This dress from Old Navy changed my mind. (very hard thing to do) The length is perfection for my height and even allows for wearing with flats. I love the print. (a cool blue is everything to me in the summer)

These wedges are on repeat for me. I found them on Shoedazzle and immediately thought of some amazing Tory Burch wedges I've been dying for... but wedding budgets don't exactly allow for that. I love the bows and now want them in the red color they are also available in. Coming in at $30 they were the perfect alternative to the designer version.

I'm so excited for Easter weekend, aren't you? 

Thanks for stopping by!

In Full Bloom...

Bag: Louis Vuitton | Sunnies: Shop Ruche | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelet: J Crew Factory

Just a quick post today. We spent Sunday touring the dogwood trails and obsessing over spring. It was absolutely beautiful! Too bad the forecast calls for freezing temps tomorrow. What the heck Mother Nature?

Have a wonderful day and thanks for stopping by!

Just Simple

Vest: Old Navy | Chambray: J Crew Factory | Belt: J Crew, similar | Shoes: old, similar |

Earrings: Baublebar+Anthropologie Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelet: J Crew Factory | 

Sunnies: Shop Ruche | Lip: Pink Neauvou

I live for simple, casual outfits. The dress and vest I am wearing here are the epitome of casual. We were in a pinch for time on Saturday when going to meet friends so I automatically reached for these to throw together a quick, pulled together look. The snake print heels just added a little extra touch.

What is your go-to look when your pressed for time?

Thanks for stopping by!

Spotted

Top: Ann Taylor, sold out | Skirt: Old, similar here | Heels: Sole Society, similar | Clutch: Kslade Made, different color | Earrings: BaublebarXAnthropologie | Watch: Michael Kors | Bracelet: J Crew Factory

Polka dots are perfection, especially when they come in navy! This skirt is an oldie I purchased from the Banana Republic outlet and it never fails me. Every time I wear it I just feel happier. The length is perfect and I love the white and gray color mix up in the pattern.

My Kslade Made clutch was a winter purchase, but I am still loving it paired with neutral outfits for a pop of color. The sunflowers... were just another addition to the fresh flowers in my house right now... I can't help it... Sad day= go buy some flowers and have a glass of wine. 

I'm not sure if it's the fact that our wedding is less than two months away or that I'm just wedding obsessed right now, but everything I do with my hair or decide to throw on has some sort of "bridal" feel to it. I'm not hating it though!

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to check out my last post. I've been getting tons of skin questions and wanted to share some answers!

Buttercup

Top: Anthropologie | Denim: J Crew | Shoes: ZooShoo | Bag: Forever 21 | 

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.
