TALK TO ME

The graphic tee. It's the shirt trend that's having a major moment right now. And while these witty, phrase-lined tops are nothing new, I will say it's easily one of the most versatile pieces in my current closet. There is no right or wrong way to wear it (which is why I love it so much). From ripped skinnies and sneaks to a dressed up blazer and a skirt, these fun tees pair well with just about everything.

For today's outfit, I wore a ruffled gingham skirt with a comfy graphic tee and bow heels. It's the perfect casual-meets-dressy-ish look! I'm into that combo right now. What about you guys? With so many options to choose from, I think it's important to pick a graphic tee that has a message that actually means something to you. For me, this one feels really fitting. I have always been one to look back for a bit too long, to romanticize the past. And this year, it's been a goal of mine to be more present. It's not always easy, but the big red saying on my shirt is a fun (and fashionable) little reminder.

Long Weekend Love

Happy Labor Day Weekend everyone!

While I don’t necessarily love the idea that Labor Day signifies the end of summer, I can't deny that the long weekend festivities that coincide with this holiday are pretty great. And this year, I've decided to follow the LA trend and head out of the city for a mini vacay of sorts. Back on the east coast with family and friends, we're hitting the refresh button with an agenda that consists of: relaxing & overeating. So far, it's been pretty wonderful.

I am such a big fan of this floral off-the-shoulder dress from Forever 21 . These photos were snapped on the way to my pal's BBQ dinner the other night but really, it's been my go-to for all events lately. The colors are rich and the flowy design is ultra-flattering on all body types. It's great for a brunch date or daytime gathering but also, if you throw on a pair of wedges (and a jean jacket) like I did here-- it works well for casual dinner too.

Perfect Pastels

Free-spirited and ultra-flirty, this is the maxi dress I’ve been living in lately. It’s a great transitional piece and the refreshing floral print will brighten even your busiest Tuesday. But what I REALLY love about it are the colors. Somehow SheIn has managed to design a dress that incorporates an entire rainbow of pretty pastel shades—without being too overwhelming. It’s perfection.

Pair with sandals for an afternoon event or tall wedges for night on the town, either way it’s sure to stand out. No matter the occasion-- drinks, casual Fridays, birthday parties, beach dates--I’ve found an excuse to wear this long breezy number.
