8 Neutrals I'm Actually Excited About Wearing This Season

While bright colors and prints will ALWAYS be my jam, there is something about the rich textures and layers of fall that I do so enjoy getting the chance to style! Seeing how excited y'all were by this fall style post, I just knew there was more to share- so today we're chatting about the neutrals that I'm actually excited to wear!

What I'm getting pumped for this season is that designers are incorporating all the things we loved in Spring and Summer into our Fall pieces! Think ruffles, lace, off the shoulder, one shoulder and peplum incorporated into dreamy fall fabrics- just to name a few! An although it's not hot pink... I sure do love mixing crisp white blouses with moody olive or cranberry for fall's version of a bold look! This season I'm also seriously into jogger pants... I don't know what it is but they are totally calling my name! I think when styled with a cream sweater (like the one on the style board below) they are chic & relaxed (two ways I like to describe my fall style). Oh yeah, and I am also totally swooning for loafers (hello I might be 75!) but I unashamedly love them right now!

Wear This || Drink That (vol. 2)

Today seemed like the perfect day to share this casual & sweet summertime look! Is there anything that says summertime more than watermelons? I think not! :) In the spirit of this steamy summer weather, I put together a Saturday look that you can rock to brunch or running around town - and be warned you will definitely grab attention with this standout skirt! Also, I'm swooning over that clutch- it totally looks like a designer bag and yet rings in at $35!!! I have no doubt that this won't last long!

Also, make sure to keep reading for an easy & refreshing watermelon mojito recipe to match this look!

Wear This || Drink That (vol. 1)

Now that Memorial Day has unofficially kicked off the summer season, I think it's time to start a fun new series here on the blog "Wear This || Drink That." You know they say that inspiration can be found anywhere? Well how about using some of the most colorful cocktails to inspire a great outfit? If we are what we eat (& drink) - then it should be no surprise that my cocktails are colorful! ha. So why not match them to some great pieces and inspire a new look?

So without further ado... if you wear this, how about drinking that?! PS- Scroll to the end of the post for a drink recipe!

One Piece- Two Ways!

We're going to keep it short, sweet, and festive today... because I don't know about you but this week required too much coffee and too much wine! #ElectionProblems I'm so thankful that we are moving on now (& moving forward) but y'all what a crazy week!

So, I was recently "browsing" J. Crew Factory and adding pieces to my wishlist (does anyone else do this as a guilt free way of shopping?!) when I realized that all the pieces I had added made for two great looks based around this bright red blouse! With an edgy-yet-sweet faux leather pleated skirt- it's  perfect for the workweek or date night. Dressed down with these ponte pants, you've got the chicest weekend look! Which way do you like it best?

The 12 Best Wide Calf Boots

If there is one thing I love most about fall, it's breaking out my boots; and if there's one thing I dread most about fall, it's shopping for new boots. See, I have a big "athletic" calf so most boots just don't fit me! There's nothing sadder than literally not being able to fit into a fabulous shoe :( But luckily, these days there are a ton of wide calf options for girls like me- so no more missing out on the cutest boots! 

Since most of us are probably shopping for out boots now, I've rounded up the twelve best wide-calf boots on the market! If you know of any great pairs I missed then send them my way :) Oh, and if you're a regular calf (lucky) most of these shoes have a regular width version! #IGotYou

Best of The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale: Women's Dresses

Well friends, happy Friday! If you looked at the internet at all yesterday you couldn't have missed the news that the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Early Access started- and man oh man are the deals insanely good!! I was hoping I could have a post ready for y'all as soon as the sale launched, but alas this girl has a full-time job and needed to sleep at 3am ;) But don't worry, I poured over every page of the sale and have rounded up the best of the best: my very favorites from the #NSale!
(Remember you have to have a Nordstrom card to shop the Early Access sale, it opens to the public on July 22)

First up, today we're tackling the best of the best in dresses! It's no secret that I live year-round in dresses; one piece dressing is so easy. You just pull on a dress and boom! You look fabulous! What I love about many of the pieces in this year's sale is that they are great for now and later. Since they are lightweight, you can rock them with sandals through the summer, and then come fall layer them with a fab fur vest and booties!

In the spirit of Vegas I'm also stocking up on all kinds of color (but like that's a surprise)!
