PALM TREES IN BERMUDA

Sunday, June 28, 2015



As soon as I found out that I would be heading to Bermuda, I immediately started planning outfits in my head. I knew that I wanted a ton of easy tropical dresses and cover-ups to match my the easy going vibes of the island. One idea in particular I became obsessed with was to wear a men's short sleeve button down on top of a bikini. I love repurposing menswear for my everyday wardrobe, so why shouldn't that apply to the beach? After several trips to the mall I finally happened upon this palm tree'd number at Forever 21, and I think the combo turned out super cute!

EASY SUMMER OUTFIT WITH KOHLS

Thursday, June 25, 2015










One of my go-to styling tricks a good matching set. My summers are beyond hectic, and if I am running late (which is often...only 5 mins away I swear!), I need to know that I have a few guaranteed to match outfits in my back pocket. I mean let's be honest, they are basically Garanimals for grown ups, but whatever consider me obsessed. Minimal effort and yet you look and feel completely put together slash chic. I love that this set in particular almost looks like a romper, which is perfect for me because as y'all know I have the longest torso this side of the Mason-Dixon. And style steal alert - this cami & short combo only costs $35 total at Kohl's. Need I say more?

AN EVENING IN BERMUDA

Wednesday, June 24, 2015







After a long day on Elbow Beach we stopped off at The Pickled Onion before heading back on the  ferry (I recommend riding up top for a very scenic trip) from Hamilton to the Royal Caribbean port. We opted to sit outside for a great view of Front street & the water. On the island, the traditional dress for the majority of the men wear Bermuda shorts with long socks and dress shirts - needless to say the people watching during dinner was amazing! As far as the food goes, it was great service and prices that didn't break the bank which was all I could as for.

I love discovering up and coming brands. My latest obsession is Solace London a contemporary women's wear line from duo Laura Taylor & Ryan Holiday-Stevens. I love how expensive their sleek and minimal designs feel, even though most pieces are under $250. I already have my eye on this maxi dress and gorgeous ruffle top

FIRST IMPRESSIONS

Wednesday, June 17, 2015











Sometimes the simplest of dresses can make the biggest of impressions. One night last August, I was in the midst of a serious wardrobe crisis. It was one of those I have nothing to wear AND now I'm late!! moments. I decided to just throw on this black tank dress and dress it up with some heals & accessories. Little did I know that I was about to walk into a restaurant where I would meet my boyfriend, then I really would have freaked out over my outfit. But apparently this was the best $54 I've ever spent, because we've been dating ever since.
