Summer Sandals

Steve Madden // Ivanka Trump (on sale!) // Report (on sale!)

J. Crew // Modcloth // Joie

This time of year I always feel like I need to update my sandal collection! I wear flat sandals ALL summer, and because of my non-existent arch, I need little support so flat sandals are so comfy for me! This season, I'm all about the details. Colorblocking, subtle ombre, and simple metallic thongs are at the top of my wish list. What type of sandals are you most drawn to this year?

We're finally all moved into our new house! I'm utterly exhausted from moving for 4 days straight so I'm still trying to get caught up on rest. We didn't hire a moving company and instead opted to do it on our own with help from friends. We absolutely couldn't have done it without Will, Courtney, and Zach's help! I'm still trying to convince Tyler that with the money we saved from moving ourselves, I should be able to get a massage. :)

My parents came up Saturday evening and we spent the rest of the weekend unpacking and organizing. They were such a huge help! We still have a long way to go but we're just so happy to finally be living in our adorable new place.

Silver + Tan

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6

I've never been a huge fan of the color silver... I'm a gold gal! But this spring is all about silver footwear and I have to admit... I'm kinda loving it! I'm currently drooling over styles that combine silver with tan... It's such an unexpected pairing and is just about as versatile as you can get! 

Coach is alllll over this silver/tan combo (the top 3 are Coach). I'm especially smitten with the Rebecca Minkoff wedges (#4) but even the sale price is too much for me to spend...

We're starting to move tonight! I can hardly wait to start taking things over to the new place and see the transformation from empty to homey! 

Summer Concert Style

shorts // tank // sandals

sunnies // necklace // bag

With Memphis in May beginning this weekend and summer concerts just around the corner, I wanted to share some of my summer concert essentials. I chose cool, comfortable clothes (such as a cotton tank and flat sandals) and practical, no-fuss accessories (like a small cross-body bag and delicate necklace).

Just throw your hair in a messy ponytail and you'll be ready to rock out in effortless style!

A Look for Less + Coming Up This Week...

 Chloe / Clark

How adorable is that Chloe sandal?? I love the cork bottom and unique closure, not to mention they'd go with EVERYTHING during the spring/summer/fall months. Plus, who can resist a gold metallic accent and an ankle strap?! Unfortunately, $260 is a lot to spend on one pair of sandals so luckily, I found an alternative! These Clark sandals are more than half the price, and still gives you just as much versatility.

A few things to note: I'm being featured on GBO Fashion tomorrow as Shannon's Style Crush, so be sure and check that out! Also, stay tuned this week for a jewelry giveaway and an inside look at Memphis Fashion Weekend! And lastly, I'm both proud and stunned to announce the winner of the Target/Sephora/J.Crew giveaway as Sheree! She also recently won my Piperlime giveaway only a week ago! Talk about lucky!

Comfy in Coral

Blazer: Piperlime / Tee: J. Crew / Pants: J. Crew / Necklace: J. Crew via eBay / Bracelets: J. Crew / Bag: Gianni Bini / Heels: Ivanka Trump / Sunnies: Kate Spade

I love a good blazer, mainly for their versatility. You can wear them casually with a pair of boyfriend jeans or dress them up paired with a elegant shift dress. My favorite of the two is casual, as I most often wear blazers with jeans. I loved this particular blazer because its stretchy knit fabric makes it so comfortable, yet it creates a more polished look when paired with ponte pants and a striped tee.

I wore this a couple Sundays ago to church. I was scheduled to take care of the children during the service, so I needed a comfortable outfit appropriate for chasing down kids!

In other news, look at these pretty pink blooms on the trees! Spring is almost here :)
