Seeing Spots

This weekend was kind of the best! Some of my best girlfriends and I planned a fun trip to Gainesville to cheer on our Gators at the Homecoming game and we had a totally blast despite the 90 degree temperatures (yes... in November!) Even though it was an ugly win (9-7) I'm still pumped for our boys and we're going to the SEC Championship game- whoop whoop!! Can't wait until December! After a busy Saturday, I headed back to St Pete for our Junior League's "Fall into Fashion" fundraiser- and what a fun time it was!

I'm sure you can feel me when I saw I definitely needed something easy for my Monday! I hopped on the swing sweater trend last year- and i've never hopped off! They are the perfect topper piece and add the perfect natural base to some pretty wild pants :)

Cheerful & Easy Workwear

I don't always like using the work "easy" to describe my outfits, because sometimes I think the word easy gets confused with lazy and that's certainly not what I'm advocating! But I am all about having simple, set formulas that you can grab on a busy morning and know that it will always turn out great. For me, during the workweek, that formula is an Elsa Blouse + Solid Skirt - trust me y'all it works every time! What's your formula for fashion success at the office?

Maxed Out in Lilly Pulitzer

Lilly Pulizer was the ultimate rule breaker, and I've been loving how rebellious I feel wearing brightly colored maxi's when fall fashion is coming at us from every angle! This is an older maxi from Lilly that I totally scored from my favorite Facebook page, ReLilly. If you haven't checked them out, then you absolutely must- you can score your favorite Lilly Pieces for 50-75% off!

All for Color Fall Collection + GIVEAWAY!

Well friends, today is about to be the best Wednesday ever! Not only am I sharing the sweetest tunic from All for Color (who I first shared here), but it's the first day of FALL (as of 4:21 am!) and I've teamed up with some fabulous blogger babes to give away $250 to All for Color! Even better- two runners up can win  $50!! I'm jumping for joy over here y'all!! {Full details on how to win at the end of this post}

Now onto all the reasons I love this tunic... 1) It's colorful- and we know I'm all about that color! 2) It's long! Way too many tops these days are "hi-lo" and I just don't dig it. I like my tops with length to them (I like to think it hides my hips ;) ) 3) The flattering waist tie helps give you a cute shape. 4) Flats now, boots later- versatility is key! 

Tell me, are you ready to #FallForColor?

Endless Summer with All for Color

This weekend Florida got it's very first taste of fall and y'all it was SO GOOD! I actually walked Buddy without sweating to death and was able to wear sleeves- what a dream! :) I'm not pulling out my sweater collection just yet (it is still Florida after all) but I'm definitely enjoying these last few weeks of "summer" because sure enough a new season is coming! Can I get a whoop whoop?! 

Y'all know I'm all about supporting local business emerging designers and philanthropies, so I'm super excited that today's look features several amazing new companies! First off, this darling dress is from the Florida brand, All for Color, and their bright and colorful designs will make you think of your favorite beach vacations anytime you wear them! (Plus, because they are dolls the girls have given me code "AFCSTYLE20" for 20% off your purchase) Next, I'm bananas for these Ikwetta sandals that give back to local artisans with each and every purchase. When you pick up a pair of sandals, you're getting a finely crafted shoe (mine are real leather!) but you also can walk with confidence knowing that you are supporting artisans around the globe! Finally, a sweet Junior League friend of mine has launched her own jewelry line, MarleighGrace, and it's so fun! I've been wearing these tassel bracelets non-stop since receiving them and I don't see that changing anytime soon!
