Vertical-Striped-Elastic-Waist-Frill-Hem-Skirt

Moving to Atlanta from New York has been a great decision, but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t an adjustment. New home, new job, and the need to build a new community. All of these things can be exciting, but they can also be daunting especially when you invest time and love to your existing ones.

Well, I’m slowly making new friends and connections – one of which happens to be an AMAZING photographer and blogger by the name of Cat Galletti. I met Cat through Instagram (of course, haha) and she was kind enough to grace me with her immense talents by shooting this look. Not only did Cat make me feel comfortable “on set,” but she understood my vision for the types of photos I was hoping to capture in order to help my blog evolve. And then, the photos turned out gorgeous (btw, if you’re looking for a photographer, I highly recommend her because her talent, infectious spirit and down-to-earth approach really makes a difference)!

I’m really happy Cat was able to shoot this look in particular, because it’s one of my absolute favorites for the Summer. Yes, I totally wore this red, white and blue ensemble for Fourth of July – but I think I’ll pair this look with my new yellow velvet mules for my upcoming trip to the Hamptons. The skirt, a gift from my friends at Shein – is an absolute showstopper! It’s flowy, feminine and much to my liking – versatile! For this shoot, I paired the ruffled skirt with an equally feminine wrap top with an oversized bow. But, I can’t wait to also wear it with a graphic tee and moto jacket for an edgier vibe. Best thing about this outfit – the price! Can you believe this skirt is ONLY $30!! I’m newly obsessed with Shein, because they have such a variety of stylish clothes that truly don’t break the bank. I find myself checking the site every couple of days for new pieces that I can rotate into my wardrobe that won’t give me buyer’s remorse over the pricetag.

Thanks to Shein for the beautiful skirt and I can’t wait to share my other new, Summer looks with you all. And of course, thanks to the talented Cat Galleti for the memorable shoot!

And in case you’re wondering… here are some other items I plan on ordering from Shein soon!

Wrapped Up In DVF

June 20, 2017

So I’ve got to be honest…it’s hard feeling great about yourself all the time! In recent months, I’ve been hard on myself about my weight, accomplishments, and just forget that sometimes I can be my own worst critic. I get upset when clothes I used to love don’t fit anymore, or I feel like I can’t wear what I want. Despite those times, I know that all I can do is take steps to try and be better every day. It’s not about my weight, but being healthy and making better decisions for the long-term. When I feel this way, it’s rare and amazing when you find an outfit that makes you feel extra glamorous and special. That was this dress for me. I saw it in the window of DvF and instantly fell in love. With its flowy, kimono-esque style and vibrant colors, I thought it would be super flattering no matter what shape or size the wearer. I love that the wrap waist is adjustable and the high-low silhouette makes it easy to wear with heels, or even gladiator flats for a more casual daytime look. This time, I opted for nude accessories and strapped heels for a birthday/Fathers’s Day brunch with my dad. I felt extra confident in the look, and sometimes I forget that’s the most important accessory of all! I can’t wait to wear it again, and think it’s definitely a “must pack” for the Hamptons later in the Summer. Do you dolls like the look? Is there an outfit that makes you feel extra confident or special? Tell me more in the comments below!

White Hot in Club Monaco

June 14, 2017

You guys know that I LOVE wearing white in the Summertime! And I have to admit, my first inclination is to first reach for an easy, breezy sundress. Last year, I took a leap with a white jumpsuit, so this year I’ve decided to go for something different…white separates. Enter these cream-colored pieces of perfection from Club Monaco. First of all, I’m absolutely obsessed with the dramatic fold-over neckline. I think it brings something a little more structured and “grown-up” to the off-the-shoulder trend. I can see myself wearing this top with trousers, cropped jeans, and even a full skirt for even more drama and a 50’s vibe. Speaking of drama, I’m in love with these cropped cream pants. The color and fabric scream sophistication, but the wide leg and half-tie belt make them seem cool and effortless.

I wore this look for a day of shopping around Buckhead and a trip to the museum. And I know what you’re thinking…no, I didn’t spill anything on it! To finish my look, I threw on my fav cat-eye sunnies from Dior and my new straw bag (from my recent lust list) – a gift, courtesy of Jason. The pop of pink really brought the casual Summer vibes to my daytime look, but you can always wear a clutch or evening bag to take this look from day to a white hot night!

What do you dolls think? Would you rock all white separates this Summer? Let me know your fav way to rock the color in the comments below!
