off the shoulder dress







Hello, August.  Whenever number eight gets flipped on the calendar a bunch of wonderful realizations pop into my mind.  First, what an amazing summer it's been so far...and there's more than a month left to go! I think about all the fun times I've checked off on my sunshine list and I dream a little more about what I can't wait to do and see coming up.  I also start looking forward to the season ahead around now.  Fall is by far my favorite season of all and that's amid some pretty stiff competition, haha.  There are so many incredible reasons as to why I love autumn so much but I can't get ahead of myself just yet.  More on the sights, smells, adventures and of course, clothes of fall coming up in September.   

Right now, I'm focused on the ease and laid-back style that is August.  To me this month is like the Sunday of summer.  The handwork is done and it's time to relish in the dreams of the future.  The clothes this month can and should reflect that feel.  I love the ease of this dress.  It can easily go from day to night, lunch date to lounge.  This maxi version is also the piece to get your hands on right now.  I love how easy they are to wear (and pack) and how versatile they can be at the same time.  Off the shoulder tops are still in major rotation in my closet.  This one is a current fave.  One last piece that is great for now and perfect for later is this sleeveless turtleneck top. Pair it with your denim skinnies and sneakers for late summer and then layer it under a roomy blouse and with a mini aline and these booties.  Aren't easy options wonderful?  Hope you're having a great Wednesday!

The unofficial start of summer means the subtle reveal of bare shoulders, sexy strapped ankles, unexpected details and white everything.  Let me say….I'm ready for it all. It's been such a long time coming but now that June is nearly here, I cannot wait to welcome summer.  These looks I'm sharing today are some of those I'll be reaching for all season long.  One of my favorites for all occasions (think date night to garden party) is the off the shoulder dress.  This one in white is ultra feminine and so wonderfully versatile.  I'm also finding this frock to be adorable as well.  Simple yet eye-catching details like these buttons and pleating are warm weather favorites.  Don't forget florals and feminine must-haves like this dress (perfect for summer weddings and simply looking gorgeous).  So, here's to summer and all the sweet, magical moments it brings.  Have a great Memorial Day weekend everyone!

The little white dress is my favorite summer silhouette.  The options are endless no matter your personal style or taste.  They also happen to be available at every price point and as luck would have are on major sale right now. This crisp little white shift dress with cutout waist detailing is so flattering and easy to wear right now.  I'm also loving this lace bodycon option from Topshop. Don't let the name fool you, the fabric design and paneling of this one make it the dress that looks gorgeous on everyone.  The off the shoulder look is probably my most-loved this summer.  So easy yet so adorable on, this dress is another one that works for so many body types.  I love it paired with a casual straw hat (this one is darling), a great big tote (here, here and here) and an easy pair of strappy sandals.
