Floral Midis for Fall

I really cannot believe that autumn is just around the corner. Don't get me wrong...I'm really happy about it. Fall is easily my most favorite season. The crisp weather, the smell of dried leaves, and the fashion...it doesn't get better than that. 

The one trend that I'm really embracing for the upcoming season has to be floral printed midi dresses. They are so pretty, so chic, and so fun! Slightly retro, full of color, and perfect for almost any occasion...this is a look I can definitely get behind.

Will you be rocking this trend (along with me) this fall???

Sunglasses Under $30

The summer is in full swing, which means that sunglasses are a must! I hate spending a ton of money on a pair of shades because I will without a doubt sit on them, scratch them, or lose them. But who says buying a pair of inexpensive sunnies has to unstylish? I put together a list of my favorite styles for the summer season all priced at under $30!

CAT EYES

Madison Cat-Round Sunglasses available at Urban Outfitters- $18

You may have seen me in these shades. They are my favorite!!! I love that cat-eye detail (reminds me of my eyeliner). Personally, I love larger sunglasses that cover my entire eye. 

QUIRKY

Summer Retro Sunglasses available at LOFT- $24.50 + 40% off

There is nothing better than a pair of fun, cute, and quirky shades! This pink pair definitely fits that bill. Aren't they just adorable???

ROUND

Oversized Round Triple Frame Sunglasses available at Express- $29.90

These are so perfect for the inner hippie in all of us. Pair them with your favorite flower crown and boho maxi dress to get that perfect festival look.

CLASSIC

Aviator Sunglasses available at American Eagle Outfitters- $15.95

You can't go wrong with a pair of aviators. These sunglasses definitely aren't going out of style anytime soon. Always so cool...these are a symbol of summer style through the ages.

Pink Camels

Happy Fourth of July to all my fellow Americans! I'm being a bit of a rebel and going away from the typical red, white, and blue look and wearing some pink camels today. Does that make me any less patriotic? You be the judge of that.

I just had a fantastic four day weekend! I wandered around one of my favorite areas of Brooklyn, watched lots of soccer, hung out with friends, brought Rocko to the new dog park in the neighborhood a few times, and ate the best fried chicken I have ever had (my husband agrees too!). All in all I can't complain!

Tonight I'll probably watch the Macy's fireworks from my apartment window. I'm going to stay home and give Rocko extra cuddles as fireworks scare him a ton. Poor guy!

I hope you all had a great holiday weekend!

Five Must Haves For Summer

Summer is practically here, and that means it's time to talk summer trends! I put together a list of my top five favorite trends for this the summer of 2016.

Let's discuss...

1. The Perfect Sandal

Sandals are essential for summertime. What makes a great sandal to me is one with a slight heel, some interesting detailing, and in a neutral color.

Adorable bows add a feminine touch to absolutely any outfit. Wear them in the straps of your sundress, wear them in your hair, wear a bow as a belt...wear them everywhere!

I love a maxi dress for the summer. This year I'm all about floral maxi dresses. It's so simple and stylish. Comfort never looked so chic.

5. A Great Straw Hat

I actually picked up a straw hat back in January when I went on vacation in the Caribbean, and I wore it practically the entire trip. I'm planning on breaking it out a bunch this summer. It's a look that anyone can rock! Keep the sun off of your face while looking so cool doing it.
