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.

I head to Napa, California in just five days and I think these two are definitely making the cut for my packing list. 

90s Comeback: Bayside Tigers and Scrunchies

Have you ever had one of those days/weeks/months where you just long to be a little kid again? Where you want to escape all of the real-world drama and concern yourself with which heart throb poster you’d hang up on your wall from TeenBeat or whether you fed your tamagotchi enough food before you left for school.

If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you’ve most likely seen my desperate posts about our venue owner stealing A LOT of money from us and closing down the venue 5 weeks before our wedding. Re-planning a wedding that you’ve spent over 15 months planning, in only 5 weeks is NOT easy. So, all I can think about is how easy life was when we were kids. I decided to bring a little nostalgia back this week, in hopes of reliving a time that was stress and anxiety-free. I can’t say it fixed my problems, but wearing this Bayside Tigers tee and some scrunchies really made me feel on top of the world like Kelly Kapowski.

I allowed myself to take Sunday afternoon as a break from all of this drama. But now that it’s Monday, it’s back to the hunt for a wedding venue! One thing is for sure, we will get married on October 1. If only the Malibu Sands Beach Club was open.

This tee is currently sold out, but keep an eye out, because they’ll be restocking and it’s only $8.99!

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.

Weekend Recap. Maxis, Tacos, Cocktails and Crabs.

There are few things better than gorgeous warm weather with a light breeze on the weekend. And this weekend was full it. I spent the weekend with good friends and family, good food and good drinks. I found one of my new favorite OPI shades – “towel me about it” (from the OPI Retro Summer Collection). And I lived in maxi dresses (check out one of my favorites below). I’ve never been so content.

Do you ever have one of those “mind blown” moments that you really just can’t comprehend? Well I also had one of those this weekend. I LOVE Jeffrey Campbell, his creativity is so unique. So, I’ve had this pair of wedged sandals for YEARS, I don’t remember buying them, I’m pretty sure I found them on serious sale and never really even knew who they were by. In preparation for this post, I checked the inside of these sandals (below) and I had to do a double take. JEFFREY CAMPBELL. I couldn’t believe it. I had been wearing them constantly every summer and had absolutely no idea that they were by one of my favorite designers…guess it makes sense that they’re my go-tos.

How was your weekend? Have you had any “mind blown” moments lately?

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??
