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!

First of all - please excuse the scowl on my face! The sun was super cray

and it didn't leave me much choice since I left my trusty Ray-Bans at home!

I know you've been hearing it a lot from me recently, but I'm super obsessed 

with skirts right now.  I mean, I just can't get enough!  If I'm not searching online

 for my next perfect one then I'm totally drooling on ones seen on other bloggers 

(you should check out my friend Chioma's skirts - they're seriously amazing and 

lots of them are gorgeous thrifted pieces!).  This pleated floral number (that I

showed a little teaser of on my Instagram earlier this week) is another recent 

purchase from Loft and was on super sale.  I loved pairing it with this neon

striped tee (yes, I bought the same tee in like 5 colors!) for some subtle 

pattern mixing.  Overall this summery outfit was such an easy look and 

crazy comfortable!

I love this t-shirt so stinking much. 

I bought it for Tyler a while back but, honestly, I think I get

much more wear out of it than he does.  It just goes with everything.

I loved pairing it with my new comfy skirt that I picked up at Target

recently.  It's such a great, versatile print that I know I'll be remixing 

all Spring and Summer long.  I'm definitely on the hunt for more 

skirts this season.  If you have any recommendations be

sure to leave them in the comments below!!

Have a wonderful week guys!!

Friday's Fancies: Nice + Neon

Dress // Bag // Shoes // Ring // Earrings


With wedding season basically here, I decided to devote this week's
 neon Friday's Fancies theme towards styling a pop of crazy color into 
a wedding appropriate look.  I quickly fell in love with this Jessica Simpson dress 
with its perfect shape, pretty print, and ombre neon effect.  By sticking with simple silver toned accessories this look becomes tame enough to wear to a fun 
Spring wedding!  Do you have any weddings to attend soon?  
Would you add a little neon to your look?

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!

Friday's Fancies: New Year, New You!

Dress // Necklace // Polish // Shoes // Clutch


It's a new year so why not set some new fashion goals for ourselves?!  
For me, especially this time of year as the winter weather is wearing me down, I get 
stuck in my go-to black/white/red combo.  So this year I'm hoping to get a bit more daring in my color choices!  Whether I'm adding bold pops of color to a mostly neutral outfit or color blocking from head-to-toe, my goal is to incorporate brighter and bolder colors - especially
this gorgeous shade of pink seen in the Tibi dress.  It is the perfect shade of pink and 
I'll be constantly searching for great pieces in that hue to add new life to my closet. 
What fashion goals are you setting for yourself?

As always, make sure to you head over to Long Distance Loving 
where {av} and the gang are coming up with some amazing looks 
for the first Friday's Fancies post in 2013!
