Fall Essentials Part II: Florals

I started the Fall Essentials series last week (don’t forget to go back and enter the GIVEAWAY) and am so excited to share with you another of my Fall favorites. Florals are always in style, spring, summer, winter, and especially Fall. All the leaves are changing outside so why not match your look with mother nature.

Whistle & Wild is a fairly new boutique, established in 2016, and it is hitting the ground running. Owner, Amanda, combines her Southern influences with city flare to provide unique styles that have you filling up your cart FAST! I got this adorable lightweight Poppies Forever tunic and I can’t stop wearing it! I grabbed another Whistle & Wild piece that I CAN’T WAIT to share with you!

I also have to share this Free People hat that’s on killer sale right now!

Fall Essentials FT. JORD Watch GIVEAWAY

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Fall is my favorite time of year. Main reason: LAYERS. The cooler temps in the morning have you wearing your latest poncho or bomber jacket while come afternoon, you’re stripped down showing off your favorite sleeveless shift dress. Scroll down for the first looks of the Fall Essential Series! It’s a great time for accessories as well because you aren’t sweating more with every bangle or necklace you layer.

Speaking of accessories, JORD Watches were kind enough to send me one of their handcrafted time pieces for this season AND allow me to host a GIVEAWAY (stay tuned to the end of the post for the link). This Zebrawood and Champagne timepiece is from the Frankie series – the natural wood and the neutral face are everything I dream of in a Women’s watch (check out their Men’s shop here). These pieces are all handcrafted from natural wood, so no two are exactly the same. Not to mention they size it for you, so no nonsense included.

SALE ALERT: Wide Leg Jumpsuit $19

It feels so good to be back! As many of you know, I got MARRIED this past weekend and what a whirlwind couple months its been! Once I get more photos back, I plan to do a lengthy blog post detailing my path up to the wedding, my cherished vendors and sharing how the whole thing went off more perfectly than I could have imagined.

But until then….

The temperatures are cooler |thank god|, which has me in such a happy place because well, fall fashion. However, Will and I have a wedding at the end of the month in Jamaica, so I’m trying to find the medium between fall and summer, let’s call it fummer, or sall. Anyway. Make Me Chic makes this SO easy with it’s extremely affordable pieces that are great on their own and perfect for layering. This wide leg jumpsuit is the comfiest thing I’ve put on my body in a long time AND it’s $19. NINETEEN FREAKIN DOLLARS. It’s definitely a bigger item, so I got it in an XS and it fits perfectly.

Punch! is a local Baltimore boutique and I am OBSESSED. I went in for the first time last week and spent at least 30 minutes in there browsing, circling constantly. I picked up these earrings and cactus necklace, but could have picked up so much more. They have accessories, clothing, home décor etc.

Details below.

You’ll Be Living In This Two-Piece All Summer 

You know during summer when it’s hot and humid and wearing clothes doesn’t really seem high on the priority list. Well those times are now and I end up clinging to anything that doesn’t make me sweat immediately. Lately, I’m obsessing over this two-piece from She-In (details below)! Got it originally as a possibility for my upcoming bachelorette party in KEY WEST (34 day countdown!), but quickly realized this baby is perfect for these super hot summer days! It’s #neverbeenso lightweight! It is rather sheer, so I may end up using it mostly as a cover-up, but really I may just decide IDGAF and wear it as I please! Best part: it’s $16.99! 

BTW: Chokers are my latest obsession and I need more. Stay tuned for a post linking some of my favorites.

The Perfect Summer Outfit

Perfect weather has finally made its appearance and I’ve never been so happy. I’ve been living in this Madewell dress I got on serious sale (under $40!) a few weeks ago. Unfortunately, it’s no longer on their website, but I’ve linked a similar one below. Pockets in a dress are everything to me, especially in the summer! 

Can we also talk about how I’ve never been so obsessed with this Candy Yum Yum lip shade from MAC. 

PS I live in Birkenstocks in the summer. What’s your summer go-to staple??

The Culotte Jumpsuit Should Be Your Go-To Staple This Season

We all know those trends that we loved and then absolutely hated and are loving yet again. Recently, I talked about culottes making their comeback and I’m still obsessing over that trend. But for this #180wednesday,  I’ve found the most perfect staple for this spring/summer that is making a big comeback and that’s the culotte jumpsuit, meshing culottes and the romper (my usual go-to), into this hybrid of comfort and style. I cant get enough of them.

I came across the Aboreta Jumpsuit at Anthropologie (pictured below) and instantly fell in love.  Although, I did have to wait until just recently to wear it because of Mother Nature’s mood swings, but its neverbeenso worth it. I paired it with some steals I found at a local shop in my hometown, called Centerpiece Boutique. The second I walked in, I was instantly transported to a charming southern town. My shades, necklace and bangle can be found there and they have a huge selection of Bourbon and Boweties! If you live in the Southern Maryland area, definitely check it out.  And these flats from Old Navy were less than $20!

The Wide-Leg Jumpsuit Will Be Your Go-To Staple This Season

This jumpsuit is on the pricier side, so I’m sharing some more affordable options that I plan on scooping up this season. But just think, with a jumpsuit, you only have to buy one piece of clothing, so the extra dollars have neverbeenso justified!

Put On Something Pretty

Who else is a creature of the weather? The mid-60s last week were a huge tease, I had neverbeenso thrilled to put my big coat away. However, the weekend finally arrives and it’s cold, rainy and just plain dreary. I was more than ready to stay in and finally finish up deciding between thirteen sets of flatware for our registry – why are there SO many?? But then Will convinced me to get myself together and not let the rain ruin our time off. Since he knows the way to my heart – he suggested putting on something pretty and going out for food.

So I dug into my second Rocksbox that I received this week and my mood instantly started lifting. I received some gorgeous pieces this time around; I’m learning the stylist really listens to the feedback. Don’t forget if you want to get a free month of Rocksbox – use code “neverbeensoxoxo”!

This month’s pieces:
Soko Chain Dangle Choker
Gorjana Greer V-Neck Necklace
Loren Hope Sophia Studs in Neon Yellow

If you haven’t noticed, I’m super into chokers and collars this season. So I paired the Gorjana Greer V-Neck Necklace with the Minimal Metal Collar from Bauble Bar, which they are calling a BB Essential. I also threw on these studs from Brightside Boutique and was ready to get my chow on.

  
So, if you are feeling down this weekend as a result of the weather – put on something pretty, eat something good and turn your mood around. It’ll be warm soon enough – hopefully.
