Happy First Anniversary Scout & Molly's!

Happy Friday y'all! I'm so sorry this space has been quiet this week. With traveling to NY and taking care of thing in my personal life, there just weren't enough hours in the day to "do it all!" (I know you can feel me!) But I love being back (sort-of) in the swing of things and I'm so excited to share a fun party with you today!

White Romper for Gameday!

White Romper: Boutique in Anna Maria (similar option) || Sandals: Sam Edelman Gigi || Earrings: c/o Gameday Glam || Apple Watch with this band || Pearl Bracelet: c/o Gameday Glam 

Happy Thursday friends! 

So, I finally got in to Friday Night Lights a few weeks ago after a friend recommended it to me (thanks Asha) but it's about to leave Netflix on Oct. 1 so I've been binge-watching like crazy to make sure I finish in time! Only 12 more episodes to go... wish me luck! Oh, and any suggestions on what to watch next?

Next week I am headed to Gainesville for the Gators homecoming game & to celebrate my best friend's birthday! I am SO stinking excited to be back at my favorite place with some of my favorite people and have been working on the perfect outfit to wear (of course)! I love the crisp look of a white romper- you can pair it with any color for a team-appropriate look (do you see all the blue I paired it with here?) Of course I had to add a little "glam" with some of my favorite new pieces from Gameday Glam! I just love a little sparkle, no matter what the occasion! Can't wait to show y'all my outfit that I will be cheering on my boys in!

Date Night Style with Stella and Dot

Dress: Loft (old, super similar option) || Earrings: Stella and Dot c/o Amy Shearrer || Bracelet: Stella and Dot c/o Amy Shearrer || Clutch: Stella and Dot c/o Amy Shearrer || Sandals: Sam Edelman Gigi Sandals || Apple Watch with this band

You know that saying, "If you build it they will come?" Well that's kind of what I'm hoping happens with today's post- if I start dressing like I'm going out on dates- maybe it will jump start some dating karma?! #IsThatHowThisWorks ? Whew, y'all the discussion of my dating life is a long whole post in and of itself! ha. So today we'll just chat style :)

One of the things that is so fun about blogging is that it not only introduces you to new brands, but it often brings "old faithfuls" back to the top of your mind! That's exactly what happened to me when Amy reached out and wanted to chat about Stella and Dot's new fall collection. It had been awhile since I'd shopped Stella and Dot, but as soon as I saw all the gorgeous pieces coming out- I knew I'd be shopping them a whole lot more! To me, this luxurious clutch (isn't the embroidery gorgeous??) and the feathers cuff & watch were so unique and eye catching that I thought they would be perfect for date night! (You know that one that I'm not having tonight?! ha.)

Caffeine Please!

I don't know about you, but the older I get the more I am dependent on my caffeine fix! #CaffeinePlease #AllDayEveryDay I have two cups in the morning and sometimes need my afternoon cup too- whoops! At this point I like to consider myself a coffee expert, so I love finding new great coffee shops. Buddy Brew is one of the coolest local shops (they even have a mobile brew bus) and their coffee is so good y'all!

Farmer's Market: Gingham + Monograms

Happy Monday y'all! I've kind of got a weird Monday today because I got called for jury duty for the first time! I'm totally dreading it (I mean has anyone every said it was fun?!) but I guess it's my turn seeing as this is the first time I've ever been called! Any tips for me???

Since it's like my weekend has been extended one day, I wanted to share this fun weekend look with y'all from a recent trip to the farmer's market. I'm a believer that casual & comfortable can still be cute and so I jazzed up my gingham + denim with a jazzy gold statement necklace and fringe booties.  Throwing in my favorite scalloped clutch doesn't hurt the look either ;)

Romper + Boyfriend Cardigan

Y'all know my love for my rompers come spring/summer, so I was having some serious withdraws that it wasn't practical to wear them in the fall/winter months. Then the other weekend I got the (brilliant) idea to throw my fave boyfriend cardigan on top and BOOM, my new weekend uniform was born! I've worn this look so many times it's basically embarrassing at this point, but I also don't plan on stopping anytime soon :) How are you prepping for the change in seasons?

Pumpkin Patch

In honor of Halloween this weekend I just had to take a trip to the local Pumpkin Patch! It was so much fun finding the perfect pumpkin, and seeing all the kids and families so excited about picking out their favorite ones to take home and carve. I just love this time of the year, with all the fun festivities in the air and the excitement and buzz all around! Have you picked out your pumpkin yet?

Lilly P Andover Dress

Seriously y'all… is there anything better than a classic Lilly dress?! I just look at this dress and I smile! Whenever I need a bit of cheer I can count on Lilly to come through with sunshine! With pattern this bold I keep my accessories simple- I don't want to compete for attention! (Although these neon sandals were the perfect compliment I think! :) )

Maroon-ed

There is nothing more romantic than a whole lotta lace… but you know what isn't romantic?! The Florida humidity! Folks my hair was just not loving the heat so up it went! (Although I'm kind of digging' this fun little updo that came out of it)!

Anywho… back to this lovely dress! I got this gem on sale for $20 at the Loft earlier this year- it was the last in stock (in my world that means #meanttobe). I love this simple and sophisticated look for special events- it's just classy as can be! What is your go-to look for special events?

To the Max

Y'all have to know by now that I am the sucker for a great maxi. There is such a simple elegance when you throw on a maxi dress- it's the best kind of sophistication! You wanna know the best part of this maxi?! It was under $30 - gotta love an Old Navy steal!
