Elegant, free-spirited, or ultra-chic, a maxi dress can be anything you want it to be! Great for chillier nights and laidback afternoons, this silhouette offers an effortless look that works for almost every occasion (and season). So whether you’re headed out to the date night, a formal wedding or even a trip the beach, it’s safe to say you can find a maxi dress that’s just perfect. Talk about versatility!

I found this long gorgeous number from Darling last week and wore it the first chance I could. The tiered design and pleated top offer an elegant feel and the color is amazing! I accessorized with a boho-feel necklace and lace-up wedges because the weather was warm and beachy.

We got together with a group of friends and went to a pop-up dinner in Venice called Food Shop. What a treat! We caught up, drank wine and ate the night away. They serve an ever changing four-course meal every month and while it is invite only, if you ever get the chance to check it out, it’s a must.

Cheers to great dresses and great friends!

Sometimes, it’s fun to let my hair down and play up my free-spirited fashion side. While it doesn’t come out all that often, I, like most ladies, appreciate a look that’s effortless and comfy, yet somehow still stylish. This breezy ensemble is just that!

Fitted for a weekend brunch or a casual afternoon gathering, I threw this together for a birthday party at the park this past Saturday. I love this exotic printed top from Forever 21 because it adds a fresh pop of color to whatever I’m wearing- whether it’s this maxi skirt or even a pair of the most basic denim skinnies! Here, I’ve styled it with a long pleated Lauren Conrad skirt and some bohemian-feel jewelry from Charming Charlie.

With spring right around the corner, this outfit is great for transitioning to a new, warmer season. While breathable and flowy, the skirt is designed with several slip layers so that you can manage to stay dressy without catching a cold!
