Embellished

outfit details: top: Forever 21, sweater: J. Crew, jeans: Cielo, shoes: DVF, bag: Tory Burch, earrings: J. Crew, bracelets: J. Crew link, J. Crew leopard, gift, rings: Ariella, Brandy Melville, sunglasses: Celine

I dug this embellished top out of my closet last weekend and remembered how much I love a sparkly piece, especially when it's as affordable as this one was. Throwing on an embellished blouse with a simple pair of jeans and heels is instantly fabulous, no extra jewelry needed. Thanks for stopping by!

Pleather

outfit details: top: Nordstrom, jeans: Gap, shoes: DVF, bag: Rebecca Minkoff, necklace: J. Crew, bracelets: J. Crew, Stella & Dot, C Wonder, rings: Ariella, lipstick: YSL Rouge Volupte #11, sunglasses: Prada

Pleather always made me think of hip hugging 70's bell bottoms in ridiculous colors, until now. I love the look of leather clothing but can't get myself to splurge quite yet (unless some fabulous jacket comes along). Thankfully though, there are so many great faux leather options out there that pleather has taken on a whole new meaning.

On another note, I dropped Christian off early this morning for his first University of Arizona golf tournament. I'm so proud of him for qualifying for this first tournament as a newbie on the team. And guess what? They're going to Pebble Beach! Lucky ducks, I told him I was gonna sneak into his suitcase ;)

Thanks for reading pretties!

Style Sessions + An Outfit

outfit details: top: J. Crew, jeans: Joe's via Nordstrom, shoes: DVF, bag: Prada via Poshmark, sunglasses: Karen Walker via Ebay, lips: YSL Rouge Volupte #11, watch: Michael Kors, rings: Ariella, bracelet: J. Crew

I attended J. Crew Style Sessions last night and I'm in love with just about everything. Their fall line is full of embellished tops, leather detailing, and amazing pants. I picked up a few tops that I can't wait to wear... hurry up fall! My photographer did an amazing job, I had to include a photo of him ;)

A Favorite + Decision Making

outfit details: top: gift from my sweet friend via Francesca's, skirt: J. Crew, shoes: DVF, sunglasses: Karen Walker via Ebay, necklace: J. Crew, rings: J. Crew, Ariella, watch: Michael Kors, bag: Prada via Poshmark, lipstick: MAC's Candy Yum Yum

I can't seem to get away from my favorite combo- black and pink. It's so girly and fun. I'm also loving this new top from my sweet friend Morgan; it has amazing pearl buttons as well. I love little details like that.

Moving back to Tucson for the fall is a little emotional. It's my last undergraduate semester and becoming a "big girl" is scaring the heck out of me. Grad school, a REAL job, wha??? I'm currently seeking applications for someone to make these big decisions for me, I just can't do it. In better news, heading to Tucson means new photo locations (like the one pictured), yay!

The Perfect Wedge

outfit details: top: J. Crew (old), jeans: Joe's (similar), shoes: DVF (on SALE!), necklace: Etsy, sunglasses: Prada, bracelets: J. Crew, Stella & Dot, bag: Prada via Poshmark

I've been lusting after these DVF wedges for months, so as soon as they went on sale I just had to snatch them up. They're really the perfect wedge. They can be so easily dressed up or down and go with just about anything. Definitely my favorite summer purchase so far.

Don't you just love finding a perfect shoe? A shopaholic's dream.
