Booties

outfit details: dress: Lulu's, booties: DV by Dolce Vita, bag: Rebecca Minkoff, necklace: J. Crew, bracelets: Stella & Dot Eden, Stella & Dot Renegade, vintage, rings: Ariella, Lulu's, sunglasses: Karen Walker

Good news, I'm back up and running! I did end up having mono and although I'm completely exhausted I feel much better than I did before.

I ordered this dress from Lulu's last week and love it's patriotic colors and flowy shape (yes, I know "flowy" isn't a word). I debated whether or not to wear heels or flats with it but ultimately decided on booties. They aren't too dressy but are a step up from sandals. Plus, they add a fun western flare and fall style to the look. I only own one pair of booties but am looking so forward to buying more for the cooler months ahead.

Wearing White After Labor Day

outfit details: top: J. Crew, pants: J. Crew, rings: Ariella, shoes: Rachel Zoe, bag: Marc Jacobs, sunglasses: Prada, coat: Izabel London, lipstick: YSL, necklace: J. Crew

As far as fashion goes, I don't believe in rules. Just about everything can be pulled off if it's styled right and worn with confidence. That being said, I LOVE white after Labor Day. Pairing it with seasonal pieces and different prints/colors makes it so crisp and clean. Thanks for stopping by!

Navy Love

outfit details: top: J. Crew, skirt: J. Crew, sunglasses: Karen Walker, bag: Coach, necklace: Charlene K, shoes: Shoedazzle, bracelets: J. Crew, Stella & Dot, vintage, rings: Ariella

A few months ago, I would never have worn two pieces of the same color together. I'm now a monochrome lover though, it's just so fresh looking and chic. I paired this navy skirt with a patterned top of the same hue and am loving how the different prints and textures make up for a lack of color difference. This is one trend I will definitely be transferring into my fall wardrobe.

Aéropostale Event

outfit details: top: J. Crew, jeans: Joe's via Nordstrom Rack, shoes: J. Crew, bag: Louis Vuitton, necklace: J. Crew, sunglasses: Karen Walker, watch: Michael Kors, rings: J. Crew, Brandy Melville, Ariella, Etsy

As a few of you may have noticed, I now have an Aéropostale VIP banner on my sidebar. A couple of weeks ago Aéropostale invited me to be a part of their VIP program for bloggers and I couldn't have been more thrilled. Aéropostale has completely revamped their clothing style and their new fall line is to die for. This is the outfit I wore to the fall unveiling last night. I unfortunately forgot to take the camera to the event so I don't have any photos but it was so much fun! I got some amazing new pieces that I will be styling throughout the week so stay tuned :)

P.S. I also have naked nails this week... I'm not happy about it but they need a break. I usually don't get "gel", but I did a couple of times this summer for vacations and my poor nails are so thin now.

Don't forget to enter this amazing $500 Giveaway!

Skip N' Whistle

outfit details: tee: Skip N' Whistle c/o, jeans: Paige via Nordstrom Rack, shoes: Shoedazzle, bag: Tory Burch, sunglasses: Karen Walker, bracelets: vintage, J. Crew, Stella & Dot, gift, lips: MAC's Ruby Woo

Happy Friday pretties! How adorable is this anchor tee? Skip N' Whistle was kind enough to offer me a t-shirt of my choice and, of course, I chose a nautical one. It's so soft and comfortable; adorable plus comfy means I'll be in this pretty tee all the time!

Who else is ready for the weekend? Yay for Friday!

Some More Stripes

outfit details: dress: BCBG (mom's), shoes: DVF, bag: Prada via Poshmark, necklace: Forever 21 (old), sunglasses: Celine via Ebay, rings: Etsy, Brandy Melville, Nordstrom, J. Crew, lipstick: MAC's Im-passioned

So let's just talk about the fact that this dress accentuates everything. That's good for my lady lumps and booty but bad for my hips and love handles. I told Christian I felt slightly like Kim Kardashian when I was wearing it, she's one confident woman.

On a side note, did anyone else LOVE how Kate Middleton looked while she and William introduced their son to the world? She looked so stunning and fresh but not stick thin; there was still a little bump in her belly. I'm just so happy to see women who are real, it's quite refreshing. That's true beauty.

A Shirtdress Kind of Day

outfit details: dress: Gap (old), shoes: Shoedazzle, bag: Coach, sunglasses: Karen Walker, necklace: Ariella, watch: Michael Kors (similar), earrings: Tory Burch, bracelets: gift, Tiffany & Co. bangle, Alex & Ani, rings: Brandy Melville

You know those times when you have an item in your closet that keeps staring at you but you really aren't feeling it? Then one day you decide to put it on, and, BAM a whole new woman! Well, that's a bit of an exaggeration. This dress does make me feel pretty good though for something I didn't think I liked. Plus, I got compliments on it from 4 strangers and the boyfriend, I think that counts for something ;)

Au Naturale

outfit details: jeans: Joe's via Nordstrom Rack, top: J. Crew (similar), shoes: Boutique 9 via Saks Off 5th, watch: Michael Kors (similar), necklace: J. Crew, bag: Prada via Poshmark, rings: Brandy Melville, sunglasses: Prada, lips: MAC Candy Yum Yum

Happy Monday pretties! I'm sporting my natural hair today, not sure how I feel about it. The humidity from all the storming here in AZ helped it curl a little better but also made it mega frizzy. I think I just need to let it go more often and rock it, so much better for my hair.

A couple other things, sorry for the lack of outfit post on Friday, I totally spaced it. Also, check out my new additions to Poshmark :)

Beach nights equal oversized sweaters, white jeans, and sandals. Much different from Arizona nights, can I move here?

Birthday Suit

outfit details: dress: Modcloth, jacket: J. Crew, shoes: DVF, bag: Rebecca Minkoff, necklace: Etsy, sunglasses: Celine via Ebay, lipstick: Revlon's Kiss Me Coral

Boy, aren't you glad those pictures weren't of my actual "birthday suit"? I just liked the title ;)

I arrived in San Diego on Saturday for my family's annual trip and celebrated my 21st birthday with some of our closest family and friends. About 50 of us went out to dinner and filled up on pizza and cake. I got a little chocolate wasted since I don't drink alcohol, it was divine. I am just so blessed to have so many people who care about me. I teared up when my sweet daddy gave a toast, it was one of those moments where you look around and just can't thank God enough for all you've been given.

We took a few photos but had a hard time getting my new camera lens to cooperate at night. Sorry fam, I love you, but our pictures were blurry messes so those won't be getting posted.
