Pom Pom Paradise

Dress | Earrings | Wedges | Bracelets

Hey y’all! This dress is seriously fun. Okay, and a little wild too. Pom poms have a way of making any outfit a little extra special. I love how colorful and bold the pom poms on this dress are. It feels very ‘peruvian’ to me. One of my favorite things about this dress is that it is great for the beginning of fall. It’s a nice transition piece because it has long sleeves, but it still has a fun, bright aspect of summer with the pom poms and embroidery. It’s actually an off the shoulder dress, but I didn’t realize that until today! You can definitely wear it either way. I paired this statement piece with white tassel earrings and nude wedges. I think this dress would be really cute with neutral sandals and stud earrings for a casual daytime look. This dress also comes in pink as well, which is another one of my favorite colors to wear!

I have something super exciting to share with y’all…

Y’all will be seeing lots of Layne over the next few weeks! She will also be my model sometimes as well, which is super exciting. If y’all have any specific things you would like to see, just comment and let us know! Check out Layne on insta & twitter and check out Southern Tide!

Hope you all are having a wonderful Monday!

Top | Shorts | Sandals (similar) | Earrings

Hey y’all! I am officially back from London. It’s been awesome to finally see my friends and family, but I definitely miss England. In celebration of the Lilly Pulitzer ‘After Party Sale’, I decided to break out my favorite Elsa top. I paired it with white shorts, white sandals, and some bold tassel earrings (that are only $32!). Turquoise, lime green, and white is such a fun color combination for summer. I head off back to college today, and I am very excited to get back into a routine and catch up with my friends there. I am very sad that summer is coming to an end, but I am very excited and optimistic to see what this fall has in store.

Mumu Monday

denim shirt / shorts / tassel earrings / sandals

It’s official. These are the my favorite shorts I have ever owned. I’ve worn them over twenty times this summer (no exaggeration), which is pretty crazy. They pair perfectly with almost all of the tops in my wardrobe and are perfect for day or night. I also think they are really comfortable and flattering. Show Me Your Mumu has easily become one of my favorite brands over the past few months! I absolutely love their bold prints and fun florals.

Here are some other ways to style my favorite tropical-pattered shorts:

Pink & Green Dream

Dress • Sandals • Earrings • Clutch (not available- similar) • Book

Whenever I am stuck on what to wear, I always reach for this easy dress. I have already worn it 4-5 now, and I just purchased it last month. I love it because it is not only super comfortable, but it is very versatile. Before heading to Africa, I stopped by Anthropologie with my sister to shop. I had no intentions of actually purchasing anything, I just went with her to browse. Allie tried on this striped green dress, and I fell in love. I am sure she was less than pleased that I ended up purchasing it too, but I just couldn’t help it! When we were checking out, the employee working at the cash register told us that our ‘new favorite dress’ was actually a tunic! She said that her favorite way to style it was to pair it with jeans or shorts and tie it at the waist. I definitely plan on wearing it as a shirt by knotting it at the waist and pairing it with a white skirt. However, I absolutely love it as a dress though! It comes in so many fun patterns- and it runs petite. This dress/shirt/versatile piece was definitely more of a splurge for me, but I would totally repurchase it another pattern in the near future. I find myself constantly wearing it this season.

I decided to pair this dress with my favorite pink tassel earrings (that are now back in stock here!!), neutral sandals, and a hot pink clutch. I purchased this clutch in three colors several years ago at Jcrew. It is such a fantastic clutch that easily works for both day and night!

P.S. These photos were taken back in TX before heading off abroad. I took several pictures back home before heading here that I forgot to post! I will be catching up on posting those photos over the next few weeks! Also, I have been loving this fabulous London tour book from Anthropologie. It has so many fun places and sites recommended by locals! I would definitely recommend picking it up if you are heading to London this summer.
