Summer Nights

June 30, 2014


This weekend the hubs and I finally made it out for a date night! I love nothing more than warm Summer nights out and about with Kenny. We love trying out new places and the perk of warm weather is you can comfortably eat outside! 
Summer's here are typically HOT, so I wanted to wear light pieces that I could easily layer with a jacket as the evening cooled off. 

Shorts
I picked up these nautical shorts at LOFT a couple weeks ago- I'm a sucker for a nautical theme! They have a zipper, so you don't have to fiddle with the buttons. They are lined, which is great for coverage. And the best part- they have a decent inseam. They're still shorts without being crazy short. They are super comfy and I can't wait to wear them again. 

Top
I paired the shorts with a pink silk top I got from TJMaxx a few years ago (similar here and here). I wanted to embrace the nautical theme, without looking too 4th of July'ish. I think the pink helped balance it all out.




These White House Black Market Sandals have been the best purchase all Summer. They are comfortable, but still dressy. They're sold out online, but check out similar options here, here and here.


Love, LOVE these rose gold hoops by Premier Designs. They are crazy light weight and the perfect size to be noticed without being overwhelming. (Find them here, access code: 2014).



I have a serious love for watches. My husband gave me this rose gold Swiss Precimax for Christmas a few years ago and I just adore it. This Premier Rosalie hinged bangle is the perfect compliment, without overwhelming my wrist (Find Rosalie here, access code: 2014).



Ready to go!

High Five for Friday!

June 27, 2014


It's High Five for Friday!! (#H54F started here! Check her out!)

Looking back over this week, here are 5 awesome things that I'd give a "high five" to :) 

1. I got to see my childhood BFF!! L, we should have taken a pic! 

2. Got Photo Bombed by This cutie. Just love her :)

3. Had my first Venti iced coffee...woah is all I can say.


4. Lunch with this adorable Mama! :)


5. Shopped 50% off at the LOFT - I think we all know that deserves a high five! I was able to pick up a super cute top (linked here)! Love that it's light, comfy, and that perfect pop of color. I'm normally not drawn to orangey/red colors, but this Summer it's quickly becoming a favorite.

Do you have a High 5 you want to share? Comment Below!

Bows.

June 25, 2014

Let's talk about them, shall we?

No, I don't mean the bows we had on our sleeves or the backs of our dresses when we were little...you know which ones I'm talking about yikes.

These bows add an extra touch of elegance or whimsy to make everything about your outfit, or in this case accessory, that much better. Think Kate Spade- That girl knows how to work a Bow!

This Summer I've been embracing my girly side, so a good bow just made sense! When I saw this bag while shopping at TJMaxx, I knew it had to be mine :)

In addition to my said love for bows, I'm also a sucker for a good nautical theme-- which lucky for me worked itself right into this perfect Summer bag. 

White sun dress? 4th of July BBQ ? Yes, please!

Work Day Wear

Work Day Wear


It's another Steamy day here in NOVA! As I was peering through my closet this morning for something light and cool (emphasis on Cool), I immediately thought of this skirt. 
The stretchy band and eyelet pattern, make it perfectly cute and comfy!
For the chilly office, what better layer than the staple jean jacket?

Love this eyelet lace cap sleeve tee!

LOVING some Loft today.

 I've been shopping at LOFT since I was in highschool. I've always loved their classic lines and timeless styles. The best thing about their clothes, for me, is that I can always walk in knowing my size. I rarely need to try anything on --which needless to say is Major. 

I don't normally choose to wear anything in the orange family, but when I saw this Coated Twill Jacket from LOFT, I knew it had to be mine :) The perfect pop of color and light enough for a Summer evening in NOVA.


LOFT Coated Twill Jacket (Find it here), LOFT Peter Pan Collar Shell in Forever Navy (linked here), LOFT Modern Straight Cuffed Cropped Jean - mine are actually a very pale mint, which is sold out. Here is the pant in the natural wash. LOFT Vaughn T-Strap Sandals in brown (currently 40% off!) (Linked here).
