Friday's Fancies: Fall Wish List

Jacket // Polish // Hat // Scarf // Pants // Booties // Bag

With Fall weather in full force here in NYC, it's only appropriate that this week's Friday's Fancies theme be based around our Fall wish lists! I've been keeping a close eye on some of these items (or their more affordable versions) and dreaming of all the ways I could style them with pieces that are already in my wardrobe.  I've come to the conclusion that they are all perfect and I need to buy them all immediately.  Well, okay.. since I twisted my own arm! ;)

Friday's Fancies: Sandal Savvy

Top // Skirt (similar) // Belt // Sandals // Bag // Earrings // Polish // Perfume

There's nothing like a great pair of sandals, especially in this
sweet summertime!  While we all know I'm a fan of a funky statement
shoe, I really wanted to focus this week's look on a classic sandal that 
would be a staple in any girl's wardrobe.  Hope you enjoy!

Friday's Fancies: Beach Ready!

Swimsuit // Towel // Sunscreen // Polish // Hat // Bag

I must start by saying that my Friday's Fancies posts 
are meant to be a sort of "wishful thinking" approach to styling
myself.  Mostly that means I disregard all prices and create outfits 
that I would just love to wear.  Well, today's is no exception, however,
this week I not only ignored the cost but also the fact that I never (ever!)
wear a swimsuit!  Yes, I'm basically the only person in the world that
doesn't enjoy a summer full of beaches and pooltime.  It's just not my 
thing!  However, if I were to be a beach bunny then this would
 be my ideal look.  And you better believe that my key summer 
accessory is sunscreen!  Protect that gorgeous skin, y'all!

I'm headed to Indianapolis tomorrow to see Fall Out Boy
with Tyler and our bff Ricky!  We are so excited!!  You know
what else is exciting?!  Today is Ricky's birthday!! Yay!!
Happy Birthday, bestie!! xo

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Friday's Fancies: Summer's Here!

Dress // Shoes // Handbag // Earrings // Polish


So I have something to admit to you!
The reason I've had a severe lack of outfit posts this 
week is because I got what feels like a million bug bites on 
my legs at the wedding I went to last weekend.  Why don't I
 just wear pants?!  Great question! I actually have been, but
 as you know, I've been in such a skirt mood lately!  This is
 the time that some fabulous maxi skirts & dresses would 
really come in hand... but I don't have any!  I want them
 - I really do - but I can never find them long enough to 
satisfy me. I don't want to show my ankles!  Is that too 
much to ask?!  Rachel Zoe never shows her ankles 
when she wears a maxi!! 

 So yes, with Summer being officially here,
 the only thing currently on my wish list is a few fabulous
 maxi skirts and dresses.  Make it a black and white striped
 one and you know I'm happy!  Be sure to check out all the
Friday's Fancies posts for lots more inspiration!

Wishing you all a wonderful Summer weekend!

Boy, that weekend went by fast!  Anyone else cringing that

Monday is already here?  While I was dreaming of attending the 

Southern Blog Society Brunch in Atlanta yesterday, I instead spent the 

weekend catching up on laundry, a little house cleaning, and some 

wedding prep for my friend Brittany.  Her wedding is this coming

 weekend I'm so excited to decorate & coordinate it.  It's going

to be a wonderful wedding!  Now to plan what to wear!

This skirt is one of my new Loft finds.  

We just recently got a Loft here in Lexington so I've yet to do

 a lot of shopping there.  But I've been on a major search for great 

skirts lately and this one quickly decided to come home with me!  

Best of all, I got it on clearance for just $12!!  Such a score! 

Oh, and I don't usually share funny outtake 

photos with you, but this one cracked me up!

Something must have been really funny!

Friday's Fancies: Serious Sunnies

Dress // Sunnies // Clutch // Shoes // Polish // Lipstick


Oh these sunnies!! I mean, how much more perfect could a pair 
of sunglasses be?!  I'm majorly in love with them and so glad this week's 
Friday's Fancies theme gave me the perfect excuse to feature them here!  While
 they're definitely out of my price range, I'll be on the lookout for a similar pair 
that might have just as much impact as these!  I so wish that this entire outfit 
was just hanging in my closet. A girl can dream, right?!

Have a fabulous weekend!!

You all know my love of black and white stripes. 

 I just can't get enough!  I'm sure you can imagine my excitement 

when I came across this Loft skirt last week!  At 40% off, it was a 

no brainer decision to add this much needed piece to my wardrobe.  

I have to say though, if I don't start buying some nonstripe items soon, 

I'm going to start running out of outfit options!  You can only mix

black and white stripes so much! ;) 

Today I'm linking up with Because Shanna Said So!

Friday's Fancies: May Flowers

Top // Skirt // Bracelet // Earrings // Polish // Bag // Shoes

I know you've done your Spring floral shopping after
checking out this post from last week (I picked up the Toms!), so
today I'm giving you some styling inspiration for your floral duds!  I 
very quickly fell in love with this amazing pencil skirt and chose one
 of the understated colors to accent in the top.  A little contrast in the 
prints adds excitement to the look and the neutral accessories
keep it appropriate for many different social occasions.  

Head over to Long Distance Loving to see lots more floral inspiration!

Have an amazing weekend!!

Like I mentioned on Monday's post, my life has been so hectic!

Shopping has been completely on the back burner for the last little bit

as I've barely had time to think about what I'm wearing. Sad, I know!

So instead of looking at all the new Spring trends, I've been working 

on remixing the pieces I already have in my wardrobe.  From today's 
outfit you've seen the top here, the scarf here, and the skirt here.  
I love how they allcame together now to give an entirely new look!  
How are you remixing your wardrobe this season?
