Hello all! Happy Friday!

A very quick post for today! 

Here we are with October only a few days away and here in the QC we are still dealing with 70 degree temps and up! Grr. I'm ready for fall! ;D 

I'm currently in the midst of Charlotte Fashion week which is why this post is a quick one. I will have a fun post for you next week, I am going to share all of my looks for fashion week on Monday! So stay tuned!

Thank you so much for reading!

Hello and Happy Monday! 

Guys, I'm excited! I don't know why exactly, I just have so many ideas going on for posts and future projects that has reinvigorated my love for blogging and for fashion. 

I had a great weekend! I stopped by one of my favorite boutiques -Grace boutique- which is where I picked up this awesome bag. It can be worn as a cross body bag -like I styled it for this post- or it can be carried as a clutch. I have been quietly obsessed with the clear bag look for a while. There is something about it that is charming. I had been looking -with not much luck- for awhile for a clear bag and then this weekend I FINALLY found it! I carried it to church the same night and fell in love very quickly!

I am especially pleased with how well it looks with this sweatshirt dress from Target. They go together so perfectly! Effortlessly! I saw this dress at Target the other night on my impromptu shopping spree and could not resist! Its unbelievably comfortable and so easy to pull off with these white sneakers. 

I really hope you enjoy this look! And if your in the shopping mood, go check out Grace Boutique -everything is 50% off through the end of the month! 

Thanks so much for reading!

Happy Fri-YAY! 

I am so ready for the weekend! I'm ready to sleep in and be a little lazy! Although funny enough, I had a number of ideas for blog outfits this afternoon which I will work on this weekend. 

Today, I am wearing Target from head to toe! (Okay, minus the earrings). This beautiful navy tie-dress is from their new line, Prologue. I am excited to check out more from it when I go back. I splurged a little (D=) on my impromtu shopping trip -no thanks to Vikee (Designer Diva lol)- but I am pretty pleased with what I got. 

This dress is so simple and yet so flattering. The color is so elegant and the details are charming.

The circular bag is another piece I got on my trip. I have been admiring these style of bags for a while, but had not yet taken the plunge and got one myself. The way it looked against the dress is what really sold me on it. 

And finally the shoes. I LOVE these shoes! They actually were not my original plan for this dress, but then I happened to see them and my plans changed quickly! =) 

Thanks for reading and I hope you have a great weekend!

Hello, Happy Monday! And Hello Mr. Sun!

We made it through Florence! For my end it was just a lot of rain and at times some strong winds. I know other places, even those right nearby, got it worse so I'm certainly keeping them in my thoughts and prayers!

I was anxious to get outside today though, but since its still muddy and wet, I decided to keep things casual today. Going forward with my fall fashion integration. I have had this sweater for.... I don't even know how long, its been a few years! But its just so perfect! 

This look is so effortless and comfortable. I also enjoy pairing structured pieces -lilke this H&M bag- with looser, less structured pieces like the sweater. 

The booties also capture the fall theme I'm going for. 

Please continue to be safe out there and thank you so much for reading!

XOXO

Hello and Happy Friday to all! 

I am experimenting for the first time with wide leg pants! 

I tend to stay away from this trend because I feel like it makes me look shorter  somehow. But I found this pair of pants and I couldn't resist! 

​Since it is kind of a gloomy day, I styled casually with a grey graphic tee. What I love about this look is that while it is a bit more on the casual side -and super comfy!- throw a blazer on and you have a more professional look. Throw a denim jacket on and you have a great look for a lunch or dinner date. Add a scarf and a cross-body bag and you have a great look for running errands or shopping. 

The possibilities are endless! 

As we brace for the hurricane this weekend, please stay safe everyone! 

Thanks for reading!

Happy Monday! 

Today's look is fierce! As you probably already know, I have a deep love for leopard print. From shoes, to bags, to shirts, and now dresses, I really do love leopard print! That print in particular adds character to outfits and a level of fierceness -like with this dress. 

It was easy to style; the dress was the focal point and I added a belt to define my waist and my lovely
fortune cookie, Versona clutch for an additional chic touch. 

This look makes me feel like I should be walking around in NY, holding important meetings, sitting in the front row at Fashion week -which has been incredible from what I have seen so far! 

Thank you for reading and I hope you have a wonderful week!

Hello and Happy Friday!!

Do you believe in love at first sight? I definitely do! When I first saw this scarf maybe two years ago (give or take) at a thrift shop, there was no hesitation. I knew I had to have it.

And it has been love ever since! 

Okay, I realize I'm probably slightly nuts for wearing a scarf while it is still pretty warm out, but bear with me! For almost a month now, this scarf just kept screaming at me every time I opened my closet. And to be quite honest, I was exhausted this afternoon after work. So, why not let this beauty do the work today? Heat or no heat! 

Plus the colors just fell together so beautifully and the styling was simple and comfortable! 

I wish I could tell you more about where this scarf came from but I really don't know. I found it at a Goodwill -I have found many, many great scarves there, in fact some of my favorite scarves have come from Goodwill.

There are definitely some deals to be found by shopping at Goodwill and other thrift shops. I used to go there all the time as a way to relax and detach I could spend hours scouring the racks for a great dress, shirt, or skirt. And more times than not I would find something in great condition. Sometimes I did come out empty handed, but when I scored I really scored! I believe I also heard once that on Thursdays in particular certain stores donate the items that didn't sell to Goodwill. I believe Target is one of those stores!

So keep an eye out!

Hello and Happy Monday!

Happy Labor Day! 

I hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend! 

This is one of my final summer posts. I am eager to move into fall and the wonderful fashion that comes with it. In my mind September is the first month of fall (I know that is not technically how the seasons are defined, but in my mind that's how it works lol). 

But sadly the heat is still lingering and I can't bear to wear more layers even if it is just for a post. I need something stylish and functional for everyday wear now. 

Which is how this look came to be. You may recognize the print from the Who. What. Wear collection at Target. I've used the skirt twice now, here and here. But this is the first time I've styled the top as a separately. The style for this is pretty simple. I basically styled around the shirt. 

Other than the denim shorts -which offer a more casual feel- I tried to keep the other colors within the same color family. It flows nicely together and is a great last look for summer!

Thanks for reading!
