The Dreamiest Lace Dress

Hi loves! I'm so happy to be back and sharing my favorite fashion trends with you, although I definitely could have explored Europe for another week (or two)! I'll be sharing more about our trip in my next couple posts, but I promised I would get this dress up on the blog right away for you to shop it! I wore this dress while we were staying in Venice, and I received SO many compliments on it that I lost count! This might be one of my absolute favorite dresses of the summer because it's so unique, and can be dressed up or down. I went with more of a casual look for strolling through the streets of Venice, but this dress could be worn for anything from date night to a summer wedding.

The details on this dress are stunning, whether it's the intricate pattern in the lace, the whimsical floral embroidery, or the ruffle along the bottom. I just can't get enough!! I kept the accessories simple as to not take away from the details in the dress, and paired it with my Alex and Ani bracelets and ankle wrap gladiator sandals. Side note, I wore these sandals EVERYWHERE on our trip and they were so comfortable. Not to mention, they literally go with everything! For reference, I'm wearing a size 6 in the dress, and it runs true to size! Happy shopping loves! xoxo

Summer Brights

I love a good pop of color, and this top couldn't be any more spot on! The bright floral embroidery combined with the off shoulder silhouette (one of my favorite trends of the moment) makes this piece a standout in your closet and on the street. I paired this top with a lighter wash jean from BLANKNYC for a little contrast against the black background. Have you guys tried released hem or step hem jeans? I can't get enough of them! And the best part is that these are office appropriate for work! What are some of your favorite summer trends of the moment? Leave a comment below! Happy shopping loves! xoxo

Subtle Spring Florals

I feel like we're in that weird limbo where everyone is unsure whether or not they can break out their spring apparel - it's not quite spring (the official first day is March 20th), but it's definitely starting to feel like it with the temperature rising into the mid 50's quite regularly. This is where subtle spring accents, like the floral embroidery on this top or the light pastel blue coloring of this crossbody bag (brownie points for it being one of the Pantone colors of the year - serenity), can start to transition our wardrobe without looking too eager. I found this top from The Wallflower when I was browsing Nordstrom Rack a few weeks ago; I was unsure of the embroidery at first, but I'm always advocating for trying new things so I decided to give it a chance. I'm so glad I did, because I love it more and more every time I see it in my closet, and it would be perfect for a spring date night outfit! Happy (almost) spring everyone! xoxo
