Vineyard Vines Blue and White Shift Dress





Dress c/o (on sale)// Bow Bag
Jack Rogers// Margaret Elizabeth Teardrop Bracelets 
Sunglasses// Luggage// Mansur Gavriel Tote 
Cashmere Cableknit 

I've been wearing this Vineyard Vines shift dress so often lately! It's the perfect dress to be able to quickly throw on during these hot 80+ degree days we have been having! I'm also loving this white dress in the Vineyard Vines new arrivals!! 

When I travel, I sometimes try and wear the same thing on the plane to and from...especially when I'm only carrying on. That is what I did when I went to Chapel Hill a few weeks ago for my sorority sister's wedding. It was perfect for arriving because I looked somewhat dressed up enough for the evening's events and perfect for coming home when I was tired and didn't want to put too much effort into my outfit. Plus, the fabric does not wrinkle easily, making me feel put together! Have a fabulous day!

Yours,

Bright Floral Skirt







Shirt// Skirt
Bow Bag// Sunglasses// Monogram Necklace
Margaret Elizabeth cuffs// Wedges (old, similar) 


I've had this skirt for several weeks now. I first wore it when I was in Dallas and it was the perfect thing for the hot weather! As it has started getting very warm here, I have been reaching for this skirt over and over again. I've worn it to work once, out to drinks with friends one night and even with a casual tee and sneakers one Saturday afternoon. 

These photos are from a night having dinner at our club. It was SO hot out. Really, we've been hitting 80 degrees regularly lately, so pants are just not an option. I will usually reach for a skirt before shorts, just because it is slightly more dressed up but also because it's even breezier than shorts! This was an easy thing to wear to work and then transitioned very well into the evening. I paired this with a black halter for a night out a few weeks ago, too! It was dressier and more 'fun' rather than the more conservative look I am sharing today! Have a fabulous day!

All White







sweater// shorts
sandals// tote// bracelet 
sunglasses// turquoise necklace 
I love all white regardless of the season, but especially during the summer. I honestly would have never purchased this sweater with just having seen it online. I typically steer away from 'cropped', but when I saw it in the store, it looked perfect for summer, and not that cropped.  Once I tried it on, I was sold. I actually bought it to go with denim shorts, but it ended up looking nice with white chino shorts. 
I got these Jack Rogers while in Hilton Head and I love them! They are a little different than the classics, but that is what makes me reach for them instead! Plus, they're very comfortable and slightly more casual. They're my version of 'Birkenstocks', because that's probably the closest I'll ever get to that sandal 'trend'. I kept the entire outfit pretty neutral with basic jewelry and a simple tote, but like the small pop of turquoise from my necklace. Are you an all white fan? Have a fabulous day!

Summer Clutches

one// two// three
four// five// six
seven// eight// nine 


I've been searching high and low for a great new summer clutch. Is it just me or is it slim pickings this year?! I've pulled some of the ones I like best that I have come across. I'm thinking of going for this one because it is neutral and simple. 

I'm a big fan of summer clutches in general-- usually woven and colorful is my favorite, but I think every once in a while, it's good to have a neutral staple. I also find that, for some unknown reason, I always leave the house with less 'stuff' in the summer, so a clutch is really all I need. Have you found the perfect summer clutch? Have a fabulous day! 

Yours,
