Flared + Fabulous

I have a very distinct memory of receiving my first pair of Levi flared jeans when I was a girl. 20-something years later, and I am still loving them. Especially in a light wash and paired with a sky-high wedges for summer. I usually rock them with a flowy, summer-y top but, I decided to switch it up and do something a little more structured on top. The light blue striped button down and white blazer keep with the light, fresh colour palette. A tan bag and shoes are universal warm neutrals for summer. Actually, this whole outfit was based around the necklace. The necklace was a gift from the loveliest of friends. Shout out to Dom! Haha. Love my necklace, and I am wearing it with everythang. I wanted to wear the necklace with the striped button down, and everything else just followed from there. Hope you are all having a wonderful, stylish summer!

LBD: Long Blue Dress


I am loving the cami/lingerie inspired dress silhouettes I've been seeing this summer. I fell in love with this Old Navy maxi version. I loved it so much, I bought it in two colours! In all fairness, there was a sale and I had some coupons :p This was my first styling of it, it was for my birthday dinner. I think the cami/lingerie style makes the dress feel a little bit sexy, so it's perfect for a date outfit. I wanted to keep the easy, flowy feeling of the dress with a long pendant necklace and dainty natural stone necklace. I kept the sandals flat and natural, but still a little glam with the gold accent. The soft, folded black clutch, I chose because it kept with the unstructured nature of the outfit. I felt comfortable and gorgeous all evening! What do you think about this silhouette for dresses?














After all that serious posing, I had to have a little fun...
