Angel Wings

 

Happy Thursday (aka one step closer to the weekend!), hope you all are well! This week has been super busy so I haven't gotten the chance to blog as much but don't worry I have some fun posts coming up! Starting today with this look, which has quickly become one of my favorites. I got this beautiful off the shoulder, bell sleeved top from SheIn which has LOTS of options at great prices (I'm talking $10 dresses) from popular styles.

 They seem to get mixed reviews at times but you have to realize sometimes you get what you pay for, meaning a $15 top is not going to be as well made as a designer top from Saks. People also worry about shipping and their items arriving. I have ordered several times from the site and have always received my purchases (if you need it asap may not be the best choice, shipping can take a while). Personally, I have been pleased with the clothing and  shop from the site frequently. I would also recommend not ordering lots of clothing at one time (it is tempting!) that way the order gets out faster and less of a chance of things not arriving or getting their in a timely manner. Some of my current favorites are this Navy Crochet Dress (under $15) perfect for a dressy occasion, a cute Graphic Tee (under $11), an adorable Tee (under $12) perfect for Fridays and a beautiful chiffon black lace Romper (under $15) which can be dressed up or down. Keep in mind to look at sizing and I would advise sizing up.

Back to this outfit! I saw this blouse and it looked so romantic and fresh that it had to be added to my closet! I love that the bell sleeves remind me of angel wings. These shorts have been on repeat ALL summer, I like that they have a high waist and are very comfortable (I would also say to size up if you are unsure, brand runs a little small). Throw in a colorful clutch and some fall ready jewels (how great is the Kendra Scott Mystic Bazaar collection?) then add a pair of shades and you are ready to fly! Or drive. Or walk. Whatever your means of transportation is you will be ready in style!

Happy Shopping!

XOXO,

Tube Toping It

Happy Tuesday! I'm sharing a summer staple on the blog today and one that can easily transition into fall with the help of a navy or winter white blazer. A colorful print tube top! I paired mine with some of my favorite denim shorts, a few pink bangles, a tasseled pendant and faux snakeskin sandals for a low-key weekend look with the right amount of flair. This is how I love to wear Lilly Pulitzer, freshening it up and making it more of my own laid back boho side. Don't get me wrong, I love looking a little more preppy but sometimes you want the comfort level but still look cute. You should all know by now I love me some Lilly and if you haven't already, check out the fall line (which includes a mermaid inspired print!) now.

I have been a little busy but I will be posting my back to school picks along with some new music posts tomorrow right here on the blog! While you wait on that, shop the look below!

Happy Shopping!

New Age Juliet

 

Happy Monday! Sometimes Mondays just call for something a little special. I couldn't wait to blog about this romantic open shoulder dress found on one of my favorite online boutiques The Happy  Goose Shop. The have some of the cutest clothes and have restocks every few days so I'm constantly checking out their site and Instagram. When I saw this dress it reminded me of a modernized Juliet from Romeo and Juliet, just look at the beautiful lace draped sleeves and the effortless style it convey. The soft rose and floral motif add just the right amount of graphics that would otherwise leave the dress looking quite plain. Topping the look off with this adorable Kate Spade clutch (I picked up on sale!) my favorite statement necklace, a few pink tassels accessories along with wedges I have had for years...we're talking high school days here. I wore this dress Friday night and people stopped to tell me they loved the look of this dress. This dress is also appropriate for various ages, it's not too short where its super revealing or too low plus the cut-out shoulders show a little skin in the most flattering of ways.  

 

Check out where you can find the look below and just because you have been thinking of Leo DeCaprio as Romeo take a 90's flashback here or for something a little more recent you can sing along to T.Swift's Love Story...you know you want to!

 

Happy Shopping!

Sometimes summer days just call for sundresses. Being in the South, we love our Lilly! As soon as I saw this print titled Samba unveiled for the summer a few months ago, I knew a new dress was in order. The pink. purple and aquatic hues just go together with the coral motif. It's a print even our girl Ariel (aka the Little Mermaid) would be proud of. The ever popular Cathy Shift Dress from Lilly is a classic staple and can be worn year after year. I do occasionally like to get mine hemmed if I feel I want the dress to be just a tad shorter. When wearing Lilly, I prefer keeping jewelry minimal so I wore simple bracelets in magenta and rose then a fun alligator inspired cuff (which was 60% off at my local Lilly store!). I also like to make sure I add a bit of my own boho style with preppy looks so I paired my favorite gold gladiator inspired cork wedge sandals with this flirty dress and was good to go!

TGIF! I don't know about you but I am so happy for the weekend. Life has been super busy lately and I am looking forward to finally have a free weekend to take in a movie, some running and house decorating. This is probably the first weekend in a few months that I actually don't have to be some where or traveling so I am taking full advantage of it! Also, if you are headed to Bonnaroo this weekend have fun and be safe!! I went last year and it was a blast. My look is so festival ready even if I am just hanging out around Bham. Get all the details on this look and keep an eye out for a Saturday Sales post tomorrow!

Have a fantastic Friday!

XOXO,
