Lovely in Lace
June 8, 2016

Hi everyone! I just purchased this lovely little lace number last week, and couldn’t wait to share it with all of you. I think the navy and nude combo is absolutely gorgeous. I decided to pair it with a metallic gold strappy sandal, for a little sparkle (gotta have sparkle, right?!). I’m loving the lace on this dress because it reminds me a lot of some of the similar designer numbers that are out right now, but this one had a much better price tag. This is probably one of the more dressier looks I’ve shared so far, so I’d love to hear your thoughts. I actually plan on wearing this outfit to a wedding this upcoming weekend, which I think this dress is perfect for!

Also, don’t forget to check out my Instagram for a chance to win a Tory Burch handbag and Naked eyeshadow palette! The giveaway ends TONIGHT at 8:30 pm EST, so make sure you’ve entered so you don’t miss out on these awesome items!!

XO, Katie

Monday Must-Haves: Denim Vest
June 6, 2016

DSC_0404edit DSC_0087edit

Today’s Monday Must-Have item is actually one that I’ve only added to my closet within the last year or so, but since I’ve purchased it, I don’t know how I lived without it! A denim vest is an awesome addition to any wardrobe for a few reasons. 1) It’s a great piece to make dresses or outfits a little more casual and laid back 2) It can be used as a great layering piece in any season! I love wearing it over dresses in the summer and over sweaters in the winter. 3) I also love to pair my denim vest with shorts and a simple tee, it adds a unique element to my simple summer uniform

Also, make sure you check out my  Instagram for a chance to win a Tory Burch handbag and Naked eyeshadow palette! The giveaway ends on June 8th at 8:30 pm EST, so make sure you enter soon so you don’t miss out on these awesome items!!

Off The Shoulder Love
June 1, 2016

DSC_0114edit DSC_0206edit

Despite all of the studying for my CPA that’s on my plate, I am loving all the sunshine this week! I can’t wait to get outside and hit the pool, run around with Bart (my corgi puppy!) and just enjoy some Vitamin D. Let’s just hope the sunshine is here to stay!

I’m also loving this off the shoulder trend that’s so popular this summer. I actually just got this top a couple of weeks ago, but it seems to already be off the shelves at J.Crew Factory (so I linked some similar items!) Since my first off the shoulder purchase (you can see that post here), I’ve probably bought five more off the shoulder tops and dresses…safe to say I’m obsessed! I’m really liking these block heel sandals I just purchased as well, they’re simple and cute but so comfortable so you can easily wear them while you’re out and about for the day. What are some of your favorite summer trends?

XO, Katie

Monday Must-Haves: Floral Maxi Dress
May 30, 2016

DSC_0172edit DSC_0363edit

Happy Memorial Day everyone! A huge thank you to all of the brave individuals who have fought (and are fighting!) for our country, we remember and are grateful to each and every one of you on this beautiful Memorial Day.

This has been an absolutely gorgeous weekend, so I decided to feature a definite summer must, the floral maxi dress! I bought this one last year, and it’s been such a great addition to my closet. It’s light, airy, and fun and can be worn for so many occasions (plus the color looks fabulous with a nice summer glow!). Whether your throwing it on for a summer backyard dinner party or to more casual wedding, you can’t go wrong! Since I did buy this dress last year, I can’t find the exact dress I’m wearing, but I’ve linked up several other awesome choices (check out the right ‘Shop’ sidebar!).

XO, Katie

P.S. Jason and I just invested in a new lens for our camera (Nikon D3300), so you’ll have to excuse us while we learn the ins and outs of it, we’re learning slowly but surely!! We would greatly appreciate any photography tips any of you guys might have!

Sun Hat & Stripes
May 25, 2016

DSC_0127edit DSC_0174edit

In the summertime, I almost exclusively live in dresses. They’re so easy and cute and make for a lighter suitcase during any summer trips. And I already know that this dress is going to be a favorite. I just picked it up earlier this week at Francesca’s, and I am so in love. I mean it’s navy, striped, is super soft and has pockets, what more could you want in a casual summer dress?!

Quick sidebar, these shoes have been so awesome. I’ve been in love with the Valentino Rockstud collection for some time now (who hasn’t?) but as a recent college grad who hasn’t started their job yet, the price tag is pretty far out of my current budget. One day, I was browsing some of Target’s sandals online and I came across these beauties. They are such a great dupe of the Valentino pair, I instantly fell in love (and bought two pairs in case one gets ruined). I’ve linked them over on the right hand side of the page if you want to buy some for yourself!

XO, Katie

P.S. I couldn’t link up this exact dress in the post, but I did find a similar one that’s linked. You can find this exact dress at a Francesca’s store or on their website!
