I've been keeping things pretty simple on the outfit front lately... reason one being the crazy weather here lately and reason two is the fact that summer is coming to a close and I am ready for a new season! Like everyone else out there FALL IS MY JAM! I love fall fashion and am always anxious for the September issues to hit the shelves. There is nothing like it! I love to layer, plaid is my BFF, and I can get enough of sweaters, boots, and scarves... so while Summer 2014 has been the highlight of my life... bring on Fall!!!! 

I found this amazing jacket on the H&M website when I went searching for the perfect denim jacket. I had been eyeballing one from Nordstrom... but it was a little steep as far as price goes. So, when I found this gem for $20 I almost died. I love the light denim and know it will transition into early fall well... but on top of that I can carry it into next summer! I love finding great staples at low prices. I always feel like I've hit the lottery.

I hope you had a wonderful, lazy weekend. Here's to a new week!

Thanks for reading!

I am a little obsessed with white denim y'all! Like major! These shorts have been on repeat all summer... They're just  so comfortable.  I wore this last week to take babe on a surprise date for his birthday. We spent the evening enjoying a small town dairy barn dinner.  Luke started a new job and is commuting over an hour for work... So time is of the essence when we get to see each other. I took him about 30 minutes from home to a small little dairy bar for ice cream and dinner that we took downtown and had as a picnic. He loved it! Of course we had to celebrate with cupcakes too!

Ps- The top is still available in store, but not online. I am obsessed! 

Happy weekend and thanks for reading!

So you can keep me Inside the pocket of your ripped jeans Holding me closer 'til our eyes meet You won't ever be alone, wait for me to come home

Kimono c/o // Denim c/o // Wedges // Earrings // Necklace c/o //  Watch // Bracelet // Sunnies

Kimonos and denim shorts are two things I wouldn't have thought I would ever purchase... I always find myself thinking that denim shorts are either a. really redneck (I'm from Tennessee so I can say that...) or b. Hoochie Mama short! When Hott Kiss reached out to me about trying their denim I was anxious to see how they would work for me. Junior sizes don't usually  cooperate with me, but these were wonderful! I love how incredibly soft they are and the length is just right!

The kimono is from one of my new favorite shops ShopDressUp. I adore this store for two reasons: 1. the constant changing inventory and 2. the amazing price point! Nothing is over $42!!!! Obsessed! Gals on a budget hop on over to their site and prepare to swoon. 

Luke had a wonderful birthday yesterday. We spent the evening taking in this awesome weather with a picnic (obviously including cupcakes)

I hope you have a wonderful day! It's almost Friday!!!

If there is one thing in the world that screams summer... It's a fruit dress y'all! This gem was a find at Anthro last summer and the fact I haven't featured it here yet is crazy! I love this little thing and it also happens to be Luke's fave! 

I'm also obsessing over this bag from my gal Katie's shop My Kind of Lovely. The orange matches this dress to perfection but will also be perfect for football season!! Make sure you check out Katie's spot this Friday at Lululemon for tax free weekend! She has the cutest stuff! If you're in Knoxville.. GO!  Katie has more info on her blog so visit here and start making your Friday plans. 

Today is also Luke's birthday! I am so blessed to have him in my life and this little blog wouldn't exist without him! Love you babe!

Thanks for reading!!

Blushing Bride

 Dress: LoveLee Boutique c/o / Boots: Ariat / Earrings: J Crew (sold out, also my wedding earrings!) / 

Necklace: Love Always (wedding gift) 

WOW!!! Three weeks! That's quite a break! I have missed sharing in this space so much, but life gets a little crazy sometimes... It;s been two weeks since the wedding and trust me... the week leading up was wedding overload. A lot has happened between then and now and I can't wait to share! First though, I have to share the details from the time leading up to the wedding. My best friend held a shower for me on May 17th. It was the epitome of anything I could have ever wanted...  mimosas, a photo booth, best friends, and tea room grub. I couldn't be more grateful to know I have friends who care enough about me to share special moments like that by my side.

For the shower I had Kelsey from LoveLee Boutique send over the most perfect dress!!!! OMG, I am obsessed! I am a true pear shape... so things like this are usually not my style ( I'm a little self conscious so body-con is scary for me!) This dress was so soft and delicate that it didn't have the effect of a body-con. The batwing sleeves create such a feminine effect... I just can't get over how perfect it is. 

I have to admit that I didn't get to sneak in many pictures the day of the shower... please see below for more details from that day... I went for more of a bohemian look that day. I had imagined something like that for our wedding day, but a country club wedding doesn't quite have the bohemian bride look going.... So I decided to sneak it into something wedding related. My hair was a little crazy that day so I did a mermaid braid and wore flat sandals with gold hardware. I swear I could have been a beach bride that day.. I felt amazing in this dress!

Saturday we traveled to yet another wedding... we are three for three in June right now. (wedding season in full effect!) I decided I just had to wear this dress again. The wedding was in Nashville, so boots were a must!

Please check out LoveLee Boutique! There are several ways to do so via their website or now in Knoxville at Southern Grace Mercantile (8903 Oak Ridge Hwy Suite 102 Knoxville, TN 37931) You can also use coupon code GLITTER to receive 10% off your purchase!

I am so glad to be back and thank you for bearing with me! Wednesday I will share the personal details of the last few weeks to catch up with you all! I hope you have had a fabulous weekend!
