FIVE THINGS

It's Friday night and fall weather has arrived (for this weekend at least). Here are five things I'm loving right now for fall! 

flannel / storage baskets / layering tee (on sale till midnight) / wool hat / ladies oxfords

AMERICANA

July Fourth is definitely one of my favorite holidays! Nothing says summer like Americana parades, festivals, cookouts, fireworks, being at the pool, and time with family & friends. This year I am looking forward to seeing all the Americana fashion that seems to be everywhere right now. Although I love the idea of rocking star prints and flag tees, I also love the idea of keeping it simple with a classic chambray piece. A few of my favorites are above! How do you do Independence Day? Dressed up or dressed down?

IN MY SUITCASE | FUN IN THE SUN

After being slightly absent from the blogging world for a few weeks it feels good to be back! On top of work, prepping for vacation, and the crazy up and down weather, Dan and I have started the home search process which is already proving to be more stressful than I had imagined. That is why I am looking forward to our beach trip coming up this week so much! A little R&R and sunbathing on the beach is just what this girl needs right now. I am beyond thrilled that spring has officially started and warmer days are on the way. Never have I ever been more excited to say farewell to a winter season. I am also happy to share that there are some pretty exciting things coming to the blog in the upcoming months. Stay tuned for more!

Spring Fever

I'm sure I'm not the only one suffering from a bad case of cabin fever after the winter we've had. I am looking forward, finally starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel! I mean after all it is March, the official start to spring. The hubs and I are heading south in a few weeks and I can't wait to enjoy a week of sunshine! Meanwhile, I am keeping myself busy with these spring style finds that I just can't get enough of. This spring I am especially loving pastels, whites, and metallics. And of course it just wouldn't be spring without some florals!

Little Black (Faux Leather) Dress | 3 Ways

This recent Target find puts an edgy twist on the classic LBD. After spotting it a few weeks ago, I have yet to stop thinking about it. And coming in under $30, this one can't be beat! Here are three ways I would style the dress: casual, dressy, and boho inspired. Thinking ahead to spring, I would wear Option 01. for a casual date night out with my hubby. I love the Anthropologie elephant scarf and the My Jewel Candy baby snake earrings, which were worn by Rachel Bilson on The Hart of Dixie (style swoon). Option 02. is one way you can incorporate some radiant orchid into your wardrobe (see Winter Mix-up). I would love wearing this option to a mid-winter wedding. It is almost time to make the switch to pastel hues and this statement necklace does just that! Option 03. would be perfect for a weekend trip to the market or brunching with some girl friends. Tell me, how would you style this piece? 

NYE Wear

New Years Eve is one of my favorite holidays! I love to get dressed up in glitzy, glam outfits and ring in a new year full of freshness. This year I am loving chic rompers, full tulle skirts, faux fur jackets and feathers. I found my NYE dress months ago at one of my favorite boutiques in Oxford, but if not, I would for sure be rocking one of these combos. If you are still looking for something to wear, you only have a few days left to order for the big countdown into 2014. Let these looks inspire you if nothing else! Have a happy and a merry.
