Navy Stripes

Navy & White Striped Trench Coat

After a week of ominous clouds and sporadic showers, we were rewarded with plenty of  sunshine and a gorgeous summer breeze.  It was the perfect weekend to sip a little rooftop rosé.   Mother Nature must have gotten the memo: don’t mess with Saturdays.

Striped Navy Trench Coat & Boyfriend Jeans

Sadly, it looks like my little respite from rain will be short-lived.  I’m headed to Chicago this week where the forecast is looking grim and gloomy five of the six days that I’m there (c’mon Chitown!).  I’ll definitely be packing my new favorite trench coat (on sale now!) and trading in my high heels for some more appropriate footwear.  In the mean time, just let me have my moment!

The Perfect Maxi

Summer Floral Maxi Dress

Even though I’m a bit on the short side (thanks mom and dad!), I love me a good maxi dress.  There’s something undeniably feminine about a full-length frock.  But still, at a staggering 5’2″, the perfect length is hard to come by.  Sure, I could put in the extra effort to get them tailored, but I prefer picking up pieces that don’t require a 1-3 day wait time.  They don’t call it ready-to-wear for nothing!

How to Wear a Floral Maxi Dress

So when I put on this wallpaper floral maxi dress from LOFT, it was love at first sight.  I bought it in petites, so the hem was already hovering perfectly above the ground — even while wearing flats!  And oh hey there side slit — don’t mind if I channel a little Angelina Jolie.  I’ll probably be scooping up this dress in turquoise ASAP because all dresses are 40% off at LOFT right now!  Happy Monday!

Shopping Budget: May 2014

Summer Must Haves

I wasn’t looking forward to tallying up May’s purchases for this month’s shopping budget, mostly because I partook in a bit of pre-vacation shopping before St. Martin.  My favorite purchases of the month: pom pom scarves, printed shorts and a gorgeous pearl necklace.

Surprisingly though, I managed to stay under budget since most of the pieces I bought were relatively inexpensive … What can I say?  I’m a sucker for cheap thrills!  Either way, my wallet is happy and my closet is full of new summer goodies!  What’ve you purchased lately?  Share your shopping scores in the comments below!
