"Hold up! They don't love you, like I love you. Slow down, they don't love you, like I love you." -Beyonce

I felt like I should be carrying a baseball bat around with me! 

Kidding of course! But jokes aside, this look has some SERIOUS 'Lemonade' vibes to it! For anyone who doesn't know, I'm a HUGE Beyonce fan! 

But back to the fashion! From the beautiful gold and black print, to the ruffles,  to the light and airy design these two pieces are a dream! 

You read it right, this is a two piece ensemble!

While it works perfectly to create a maxi dress look. It is actually two separate pieces. Which makes it so much more worth the buy! There is more room for stylish recreations, pairings, and mixing/matching! This particular piece just spoke to me this time. 

I actually thought today that it would be fun to pair this with black boots and a moto jacket for the upcoming fall season! 

This look I found at Target! 

Hello and Happy Monday!
I hope you enjoyed the surprise post on Sat!

Today's post is a special one! My Aunt was in town last week and we had a great time hanging out with her. She and my mom did A LOT of shopping! But we got a shopping trip in as well. 

The three main pieces; the floral print duster, the bucket bag, and the booties, are all pieces my Aunt left behind for me to style and use on here. There is another piece that I will use in a future post. This duster I LOVE! I've love the colors and the print. It really stands out, and it can be used dressy -like I styled for this post- or dressed down, with jeans or flats. For this post, I really wanted it to pop, so I styled it around an all black outfit. 

Don't let the long sleeves fool you, it is very breezy! And I love the way it moves with you, while you walk. 

The light blue bag goes perfectly with the duster! As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to pair it with the duster. In fact I never realized how much I wanted a bucket bag until I saw this one! Now I can't wait to pair it with other looks! (I actually carried it for the first time on Friday, on the Target excursion!)

And how awesome are these booties!? My Aunt saw them on a shopping trip with my mom and thought I would like them -and I really do! They really elevate this look! They give it a chic look while also adding an element of toughness to it.

And finally, the shades! I collaborated with Hashtag Sunglasses and got these beautiful shades! They are very well packaged without any type of smudge and includes a bag to store your shades in to prevent smudges or scratches. If you're anything like me, that is a huge help! The shades themselves are very lovely as well. They have been carefully made and handled.

Well, thank you so much for reading! A special thanks to my Aunt Sherry for helping me out with this post/style! I really enjoyed hanging out with you! Come back soon! I love you!! 

XOXO

I LOVE Target! 

I mean who doesn't? Am I right? Well, Target has this new collection called Wild Fables  by Kay Ching. 

So last night my blogging bestie -Vikee (DesignerDiva1103)-and I set out to check out this new collection! 

The collection is an fun throwback to the 90's. I felt I was reliving my childhood in many ways as we perused through it. There was A LOT of plaid, crop tops a plenty, destroyed denim, mini back packs, parachute pants, and even a trendy new take on fanny packs are in this collection! 

Vikee and I got a kick out of the line of mood rings that were available. I used to LOVE those! 

The best part about the whole collection? Its very affordable! Which is good since I liked pretty much everything I saw ;)

Below are some of my favorite items from the collection! I'm definitely going back on my day off to check it out again!

Fun fact, it was almost exactly a year ago to the day that Vikee and I teamed up for our first joint blog shoot -also at Target! And the rest, as they say, is history! =)
