Carpe Diem

Today I play and mix different styles with a relaxed light-weight sweater over top of a printed skirt. (Not to mention, I love the inspiration) I love the way the burnt color brings out the foliage on the skirt. Finishing the look with a nude pointed flat and studded neutral bag.

Lunch Date

The past week and a half was a whirlwind and I have never felt so loved! I wore this hot pink DVF dress to my bridesmaids luncheon and felt sassy yet sophisticated. I paired it with a simple nude ankle strap heel and a few baubles for the ultimate in upscale brunch-wear! 

Dress: DVF, Heels: French Connection (slightly different color here), Clutch: Tory Burch (similar here and on SALE!), Bracelets: David Yurman, Alexis Bittar (similar), J.Crew

Chartreuse

Chartreuse is a perfect hue for fall. It is bold, yet muted appropriately for the season. I swoon over the neckline that is made up of multiple bands. It feels sophisticated with a splash of fun. I love the idea of mixing a print in with the leopard heels. 

Dress: DVF, Heels: 12th Street by Cynthia Vincent, Bag: Louis Vuitton, Watch: Michele, Cuff: David Yurman, Sunnies: Tory Burch

Fall Function

Labor Day officially leaves behind summer, but that doesn't mean afternoon heat doesn't take over. As we transition, I try to stick to light weight fabrics, and a color combination that includes both fall and warmer colors as well. As much as I'm ready to slip on a leather jacket, it's just not practical for September in NC! I'm keeping it nice, light with a splash of color in this DVF jersey dress. 

Dress: DVF (same cut, different pattern for this season!), Flats: C-Label, Necklace: Moon & Lola (a personal fave!), Other Baubles: Stella & Dot, Alexis Bittar and J.Crew, Sunnies: Tory Burch 

Leopard Lust

Forgive me for my brief absence. Wedding planning has gotten the best of me! Crisp mornings are upon us and we are seeing the slightest glimpse of fall! I'm in love with the idea of a loose, non-fitted blouse and pairing it with skinny jeans or leggings.The look is relaxed yet chic! Today, I'm wearing my black wax denim that I've been dying to show off since I bought them this summer! Fall has me giddy over gold hardware from studs to chains and I mixed in a few gold bangles and subtle colored bracelets.
