Let's Bundle Up!

Sweater: J. Crew Factory || Jeans: J. Crew Toothpick || Monogrammed Duck Boots: c/o Marley Lilly || Blanket Scarf: Marley Lilly || Apple Watch with this band 

Happy Monday love bugs! How was your holiday weekend? I was home with my family until Saturday and it was such fun to spend some quality time with them. My sister was home from college at University of Florida and I loved getting to catch up and hear all her stories- it made me miss being 19! I was also proud of my self-control during Black Friday... there were so many good sales but I was responsible and only picked up a few deals that were too good to miss! And then of course I started checking people off my Christmas list- I'm determined to not wait until the last minute this year (#WishMeLuck).

So now we're here- beginning another new week (#SendCoffee) and getting back into our "normal" routines! I'm pretty excited that the temps have dropped for a few days and it means that I can bundle up (that's pretty novel here in FL!) :) I'm still in love with blanket scarves and so glad that they are no longer just "trend" and are now a seasonal staple! My new favorite winter accessory though is my monogrammed duck boots from Marley Lilly!! I have always wanted to add a pair to my closet, but hesitated to pull the trigger until this pair rolled up into my life! Now? I'm obsessed! This particular pair was a gift with purchase during Marley Lilly's Black Friday promotion, but luckily they have a few other adorable pairs in stock (and I kind of want to order another pair!) :)

Gray Days with Marley Lilly

Pullover: c/o Marley Lilly || Jeans: J. Crew Toothpick || Shoes: Nike || Monogram Necklace: Moon and Lola

Yesterday we had our first rainy day in weeks, and seriously it made me dream of staying home and curling up with a BIG cup of coffee and a good book! But alas, I had to head in to work (I had a huge project to present - and thankfully it went great!) 

But when there are gray day & I still need to be out and about- I turn to my favorite monogram shop- Marley Lilly! Did you know they Marley Lilly creates their own custom pieces with the cutest monogram detailing? You know I'm smitten over personal touches! As the temperatures continue to drop, I know I will be reaching for this pullover more & more.... because let's just all agree that fall is ALL about the snuggles!

Fall Transitional Style

Dress: c/o Cabana Life || Booties: c/o Marley Lilly || Earrings: c/o Lisi Lerch || Seashell Clutch: Amazon || Apple Watch with this band 

Welcome to a brand new week friends! This weekend could not have flown by any faster... whew! Sometimes I wish I could just add about 10 extra hours to my day- don't you? But, I worked on some seriously fun projects this weekend and I cannot wait to share them with y'all!

First up though, let's chat transitional style! I'm not going to spend the season droning on and on about how Florida is still SO HOT... but I am going to show you how I dress for it! Last year I finally got into the look of booties, and now this year it was the thing I was most excited to pull out of my closet for fall! But y'all, today's booties are not just your average pair... they are monogrammed!! I mean seriously, could they be any cuter?! What makes them even better is the monogrammed piece snaps on, and the boots come with two other attachments, so if you want to switch them out you have the freedom to. As long as the sun is still shining, I keep on loving my Cabana Life dresses! Even though this dress has sleeves, it's made of the best material that doesn't make you sweat at all! And every piece of clothing has a built in SPF50- so you're always protected! Finally, I have to mention my newest swoon-worthy tassel earrings! I can't believe it took me so long to try out statement earrings- they seriously make every outfit so much fun!

Tropical Print Romper

Romper: Loft (old, great option here) // Necklace: Kendra Scott Rayne // Wedges: Altar'd State // Clutch: c/o Marley Lilly // Apple Watch // Bangles: Bourbon and Bowties

Hey y'all! So sorry I was MIA yesterday... I've mentioned a few times, but work is seriously kicking my behind and it means that sometimes me personal life falls behind. When I logged on to my computer to get my blog post ready I realized I was WAY behind in answering emails (#oops) so I spent the night catching up - and I can't tell you how good it feels! I'm trying to keep up with it all, but it can sure get hard y'all!

Any who... on to today's look! My closet is no stranger to bright, bold patterns, so it can't be a surprise that I scooped this one up as soon as I saw it! This one is actually from Loft a summer or two ago, but when I came across it NWT on Poshmark I could't resist! (Side note: I'm kind of obsessed with both buying & selling on Poshmark- so many good deals!!) Paired with my new & super comfy wedges and trusty monogram clutch- this is a great summer night out look!

Girly in Gingham

Loft Gingham Drop-Waist Dress // c/o Marley Lilly Monogrammed Clutch (On sale for $14.99!!) // Etsy Tassel Necklace (Similar) // Apple Watch // Merona Tennis Shoes ("Real" Version here)

Hey y'all- hope you're having a rocking' week so far! It's been a crazy busy one over here; remember that huge merge I've been telling y'all about at work? Well it is kind of taking over my life! It definitely makes the days fly by, but isn't leaving as much room for fun as I would like! Definitely trying to soak up the opportunity though- thankful for it!

Any who... today I'm excited to share this darling gingham drop-waist dress with y'all! You loved it when I featured it in my last Dressing Room Diaries post, and I'm happy to say it's just as fun in person! I styled it recently for a breezy weekend outing- that meant breaking out the tennis shoes and an easy cross body- but you could easily swap it out for wedges and be brunch appropriate!

One Dress Two Ways- Look #1 (Work)

Y'all know I am ALL about a versatile look, and finding pieces that can easily transition from work to weekend is what I am constantly striving to do (aint nobody got the time or budget for two separate wardrobes- except maybe Lisa Vanderpump!) 

So over the next two Tuesdays, I'm going to share how I styled this darling Cece Cynthia Steffe dress for both the office and errands. Today were starting with my work look- let the fun begin :)

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 ;)

Getting Personal with Marleylilly

It's the eternal southern girl's question... "If it doesn't have your monogram is it really even yours?" ha! But seriously y'all... monograms are my jam and lucky for us all Marleylilly solves any monogramming needs you could possibly have! We all know my love for the puffer vest as well as monograms, so put the two together in one on-trend item and I'm as happy as a witch in a broom factory (anyone else crack up at those Gieco commercials?!)

How do you style yourself for a rainy day?
