Black & White

I am thrilled to feature a collaboration with Tara from Jimmy Choos and Tennis Shoes! She's as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, and I've loved getting to know her! We've been discussing a collaboration for a few months now, and I can't believe time has flew by so quickly since we first started emailing. Bad weather happened, Baby Gibby happened, moving happened... life happened. Nonetheless, here it finally is! We decided to showcase a black and white outfit... Something we both hardly ever wear! We love us some color :) Once I started looking in my closet, I realized how little black or white clothing I actually have. It was a bit of a challenge, but I am pleased with how classic the end result is. 

What goes better with black and white than red? Tara has her red hair... I went with red lips! Can never go wrong with a red lip :) To keep the pencil skirt from being too stuffy, I added a fun pair of heels and a statement bracelet.

I'm loving how fun and bold her outfit is and those Zara shorts... too cute for words. Be sure and visit Jimmy Choos and Tennis Shoes to see more of Tara's outfit!

Top & Skirt: Express (old), Heels: Sam Edelman, Bag: Francesca's, Bracelet: J. Crew, Lips: Mac "Ruby Woo"

Memorial Weekend Recap + My Favorite Maxi Dress

Collective Concepts dress, ancient Aeropostale denim jacket, Target belt (similar), J. Crew inspired necklace via eBay, Target clutch, JoJo Loves You earrings c/o, J. Crew bracelets, Vince Camuto heels, kate spade sunnies

I hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial Day weekend! Mine went by entirely too quickly :)

Friday evening we went out for Mexican and Saturday was spent enjoying downtown Memphis & cheering on the Grizzlies! Sunday we went to church, had an outdoor lunch, took the pups to the park, napped, & grilled steaks, and Monday, we ran errands, went to the movies, and went to the Majestic Grille to celebrate a secret accomplishment I can't reveal just yet :)

The weather was gorgeous and I kind of regret not spending every minute by the pool... What did y'all do on Memorial Day weekend?

This dress is already on heavy rotation and it's not even officially summer yet! I picked it up at a boutique in Charleston last year, and while it's a size too big, I just couldn't pass it up! I predict you'll be seeing a lot of it this summer!

Thank you for reading! 

Festive Nautical

Modcloth dress, Target hat, Tory Burch clutch, kate spade wedges & sunnies, J. Crew necklace, earrings, & bracelet, kate spade bangle

Happy Memorial Day! Whether you're aboard a lavish houseboat party, attending a low-key barbecue, or simply spending time with family & friends, I hope you're having a great holiday! 

P.S. How flattering does this dress look? It would be perfect for so many occasions. For Memorial Day, I would let red take center stage, keep the jewelry simple, and stay cool in a large hat! 

God bless the USA!

Well, it's one for the money, Two for the show, Three to get ready, Now go, cat, go.

Who would ever imagine blue suede shoes would be so versatile?! Definitely not me, until I started brainstorming ideas for different occasions, and these are only two of the many outfits you could put together around blue heels. Now I'm thinking these may need to make an appearance in my closet! 

For brunch, choose a dress with a playful pattern, an armful of bracelets, a blush satchel, and sassy pink lips! Blue heels will really make this outfit pop!

On date night, let your blue shoes stand out with a flirty LWD, a modern metal belt, crystal statement jewelry, and a classic black and white clutch. Finish off the look with fiery red-orange lips!

Orchid is a color

Tee: J. Crew // Skirt: Everly // Necklace: Bauble Bar (similar) // Sandals: Gianni Bini // Sunnies: Kate Spade

If you look closely in the background, you can see Bella peeping out the window. I just love my sweet girl :)

Evidently I like to pair shades of purple with this skirt... With lavender in this post and orchid this time! (At least I call this tee's color "orchid"...) Something about the pairing just works! 

Speaking of, look at my pretty orchid Tyler gave me! I've kept it alive for about two months now and I'm so proud especially since people have told me how finicky they can be! Now I just need to research on what soil it needs so I can re-pot it. Does anyone have experience with orchids?

I hope you all are having a wonderful week! Only 3 more work days to go 'til the 3-day weekend! Woop! 

Color Inspiration: Lime

 chair // necklace // shoes

It's been awhile since I've been into lime green, probably because I was so obsessed with it in high school that I burnt myself out on it. I still cannot believe my parents allowed my bedroom to be painted neon pink and lime green. Anyway, I've found myself gravitating toward the summery hue lately and I can't help but think that it will go with every other color in my house & wardrobe... Lime, meet mint. I hope you'll be best friends.
