LWD: Little White Dress

The little white dress, or LWD as I like to call it, is a summer staple that should be hanging in your closet and ready to go at any moment. Is this really just a summer staple though? Not in my book. The days of only wearing white between Memorial Day and Labor Day are over - I break this rule all the time! There's just something about a white dress that gives off a fresh and cheery vibe, no matter what time of year it is worn. This gorgeous little number from Tobi (www.tobi.com) goes above and beyond though. I'm absolutely loving the floral lace and ladder detailing - it truly takes this dress to the next level! I accessorized with super fun beaded and tassel drop earrings (these are super lightweight and can be worn all day long!) and sparkly block heels - no necklace needed for this dress because of the keyhole silhouette. What summer staples do you swear by? Have you found your go-to LWD?! Leave a comment below! Happy shopping loves! xoxo

Last Minute Valentine's Day Look

Finding the right gift on Valentine's Day can be difficult, but figuring out what to wear can sometimes be even more of a challenge. Most Valentine's day themed clothing is cheesy and over-the-top, and it can be hard to find a red or pink top/dress that you love when time is running out. A simple solution is to get a little creative with what's already in your closet! Many times, a summery dress can be "winterized" just by adding a layer underneath. I blogged about this dress a few months ago when the weather was still bearable enough to wear by itself. Today, I threw on a black long sleeve turtleneck and tights, and the dress was completely transformed. Now, I'm able to be festive without sacrificing my warmth this Valentine's Day, and at no extra cost. Who doesn't like that?! Happy shopping loves! xoxo

Fallin' For Maxis

Fall is easily my favorite time of year, but it usually means that I'll be retiring many of my dresses for the next six months. Maxi dresses like this one from Besselli are a great way to prolong that slightly heart-breaking moment though. Incorporating rich jewel-tone hues of the primary colors are an easy way to get away with pieces that are traditionally thought to be a summer staple. And did I mention how perfect this would be for date night? The blouson silhouette is very flattering on the waist, while the side slit shows the perfect amount of skin, which can be a rare sight once the temperature starts to drop. Just throw on a black fitted leather jacket for a chilly evening, and prepare for a show-stopping entrance wherever you go.
