:: Zaful Wishlist ::

Two big trends this Summer are the crop top black  and a good denim dress, and these are great staples. But see what I'm loving this Summer and how Zaful  is making my trendiest dreams come true and at a great price!

  

Summer is in full swing and one of my favorite trends this season is off the shoulder, add a little gingham and I'm all in! July for me is all about embracing red, white, & blue even after the 4th is over.

::gingham off the shoulder::

 

 

I love this breezy off the shoulder number because it shows off enough skin and is the perfect hue, fabric, and cut for Summer style. Pair this top with white denim for a fun, preppy look or denim shorts for a casual feel.

 

 

::gold and marbled bangle::



 

::pearl and marble ring::

 

 

Pair pearl and marbled details to give the top a bit of an edge. Marbled jewelry is so great because it is neutral and works well with many different styles.



 

 

::gold choker::

 

 

I love chokers with off the shoulder looks because it doesn't distract from your décolletage and all it's glory! This option is a staple!



::cat eye sunnies::

 

 

Nothing better than cat eye sunglasses to take your look to the next level. Extra bonus if they're a black/gold combo

 

Finish off your look with a red lip & a great pair of espadrilles and you're ready for you next BBQ!

I am exhausted you guys! The wedding this past weekend was amazing and I can only imagine if I had had to go back to work on Monday vs Wednesday. Let's all take a second to appreciate a long week... yay!

 

We put in a patio toward the end of last summer and only had a few pieces of furniture to enjoy it last year. So naturally I just sit on it in my best Tobi dress and tend to my lipstick. Kidding!!!

 

 In like March I was frantically searching Amazon to find a good deal on patio furniture so my husband and I could enjoy our outdoor space. This set was an incredibly good price and pretty easy to assemble. I didn't do A LOT this year as far as other decor was concerned because we decided to put up a privacy fence so I went with a minimal look for now. We also picked up this table that doubles as a cooler which we have really loved. In addition to patio furniture, we also have a ping pong table in our garage and it's been really fun to pull that out on a nice night and get a little competitive. Of all the activities in the world, I am slightly better at ping pong because why not? One night this last weekend we did a little throw back and played beer pong.

 

I cannot believe it's already July, it's insane how quickly summer goes. I will save the whole basic "I can't wait for Fall" post until a little closer to that season but you guys already know where my head is. During the Zara sale I bought 4 sweaters and a pair of black skinnies soooooooo

 

How was your Independence day?

:: Transitional Shift ::

::dress & sandals/target {old- similar & similar}, cuff/baublebar, necklace/luv aj via rachel zoe box of style::

Suede pieces were huge this Summer and I see this trend carrying right through into Fall! I got this dress from target, on sale and can totally pair it with a leather moto jacket and booties or a navy long cardigan and heels! It's going to transition me seamlessly from one season to the next! 

Can you even believe it's September? I definitely can't! I will be celebrating my 30th birthday this weekend and I honestly have such a hard time computing the fact that I'm moving into my thirties. Truth be told, I am a very visual person so if I cannot see myself doing something I just assume it's not going to happen. Well I could never see myself growing up, getting married, having a career etc so I had a very morbid assumption I wouldn't live that long. It's pretty messed up right? I laugh about it now but my mother HATES when I say it. You can imagine my surprise that I've made it to my 30th, married & a home owner! Even more reason to celebrate, right!

:: Pineapple & Lace ::

::dress/anthropologie {old-similar}, shoes/manolo blanik::

I wanted to share with you the dress I wore for our rehearsal dinner! This dress actually found last summer by my brother & sister in-law at Anthro and my mom told me the night of our rehearsal I should have just worn it as my wedding dress which actually isn't a bad idea! Let's be honest though, my wedding dress was stunning but this dress also deserved a night all its own! Truth be told, this is exactly what I wore when Kyle & I were legally married here before heading down to Mexico so technically...it was my wedding dress!

:: Birds of a Feather ::

::dress/asos, clutch/charming charlie, shoes/lc lauren conrad, earrings/wantable::

In the wedding spirit I thought I would shoot a dress I recently picked up for a wedding in July in hopes that it would offer some inspiration for your next nuptial event! 

This dress has such an old school feel but I love the straps, they add a sexy detail to a really sweet dress!
