embroidered maxi top

Free People Call On Me Embroidered Maxi Top (also here)

Levi's 501 Short Long

 Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

How gorgeous is this Free People embroidered maxi top?  The colours, the print, the embroidery, the sleeves... I mean, it's perfection.  I had so much fun twirling around in it!  It's so flowy and lightweight, perfect for this time of year.  I've been dying to start dressing for fall and this maxi top is fall in a nutshell.  I love that you can wear it in multiple ways... with shorts or jeans, as a dress (worn with a slip underneath because it's sheer), or as a duster.

I'm now obsessed with maxi tops and Free People has many options to choose from.  I'm eyeing this sheer maxi top, this maxi top, which comes in 4 colours, and this bell-sleeved maxi top.  I was also eyeing this embellished maxi top this past summer and it's now over 50% off!

floral print ruffle mini skirt

LoveShackFancy Ruffle Mini Skirt in Blue Jean

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

This LoveShackFancy ruffle mini skirt is so fun!  It's also super comfortable.  We attended Fall for Greenville a couple of weekends ago and I wore this pretty skirt with a simple black tee and sneakers.  It was starting to feel like fall around here so this past weekend I paired the skirt with a knit tee and brown booties.  I love taking summer pieces (a skirt, dress...) and finding new ways to wear them into the next season.  This skirt would look great paired with a warmer sweater (I'm eyeing this Free People Moonbeam V Sweater) and knee high boots (I'm eyeing these Sam Edelman Indigo Boots).  You could also pretty much throw a cardigan on and you're good to go. 

Other floral skirts I'm eyeing for fall:

Free People From the Valley Mini Skirt
  Madewell Ruffle-Wrap Mini Skirt
Sezane Carolina Skirt

the one with the 25th anniversary of friends

Urban Outfitters Friends Logo Crew Neck Sweatshirt

Friends 20oz Ceramic Names Mug

Friends is one of my all-time favourite TV shows.  So when I came across this Friends sweatshirt from Urban Outfitters a couple of years ago, I ordered it immediately.  It quickly became a favourite so when I noticed they still had some in stock this past winter, I ordered two more (one in my regular size and one a size up to wear with tights).  It's SO cozy.  Needless to say, I was excited when I heard Friends was celebrating it's 25th Anniversary and Friends products started popping up EVERYWHERE.
 
When we were in Florida a few weeks ago, we went to Target to pick up a few things and I came across a pair of Friends Jogger Pants, which are nice and lightweight, and a Friends T-shirt, which is super soft.  I love the joggers so I went onto the Target site to order another pair and came across this fun Friends mug, above.  I'm also loving this 24oz Friends Central Perk Mug that would be great for soup!  I'm also eyeing this Friends Cropped Sweatshirt that's perfect for the holidays.

Pottery Barn is also celebrating with a Friends 25th Anniversary collection.  As soon as the collection launched late July, I ordered the Central Perk Mug and Central Perk Travel Mug from the Friends Mug Collection, the Friends Welcome Pillow and the Friends Doormat, but they were clearly so popular that they're (still) on backorder.  They're also selling the famous Apothecary Coffee Table!  I was waiting to come across the birdcage, large, but sadly did not.

Even LEGO came out with a Friends Central Perk Cafe set!  Yes, I bought it, but my son was the one who actually convinced me because he knows I always watch it (and he thought it was a cool set).  It actually sold out so quickly, they're currently out of stock!

embroidered midi dress

Free People Lavender Fields Dress

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

We went out for pizza and what better dress to wear than a shapeless one?  You can eat all of the pizza and still be comfortable.  I especially love this dress because of the embroidery.  I'm a sucker for anything embroidered.  Free People always delivers in the embroidery department.  I'm eyeing this blouse, which also has puff sleeves (!) and this blue midi dress with contrasting embroidery, which also has puff sleeves (!).  I'm obsessed with this embroidered maxi top, which I'll feature on the blog soon!

fall neutrals

Free People Cindy Utility Short

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Backpack Mini

I love wearing neutrals in the fall (see here and here).  It's still warm here but I was itching to start dressing for fall so I paired these white Free People shorts with a knit top and brown boots.  These shorts are super comfortable and now on sale!

mostly meadow blouse

Free People Mostly Meadow Blouse

Levi's 501 Short Long

 Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

Some more florals and puff sleeves on the blog today!  This time in yellow.  I'm always drawn to yellow since I read in a magazine once that light yellow is a good colour for brunettes to wear.  So when I saw this Free People blouse, which also has a floral print and puff sleeves, it was a no-brainer.  It's a great transitional piece too because it has long sleeves, but it's also very light and airy.  I paired the blouse with a pair of Levi's, but it would also look great with a skirt and a pair of booties!

Speaking of yellow (and florals), I've also been eyeing these:

Faithfull the Brand Jeanette Dress
 Faithfull the Brand Farah Midi Dress
Faithfull the Brand Dolores Jumpsuit
Auguste x Revolve Olsen Belle Mini Dress
Free People Dazey Shirt Dress

floral puff sleeve dress

LoveShackFancy Lais Maxi Dress (also here);

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher;
Tony Bianco Farren Wedge

I am obsessed with this LoveShackFancy dress!!  It looks fancy but it is surprisingly SO comfortable and light, you could honestly wear it anywhere.  As I said in recent posts, I love a puff sleeve and a fall floral print and this dress checks off both of those things.  It has a pretty bow that's removable that you can wear on the back, or as I'm wearing on the front.  It also has pockets, which I love!  This print also comes in a mini, a skirt and a top!

LoveShackFancy is having a fall sale TODAY ONLY!  Use code BFFLOVE for 25% off sitewide!  I wore this mini skirt on the weekend (post to come) and it's so pretty and comfortable!

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

I love florals any time of year, but there's something about fall florals that are exciting.  I'm obsessing over this Free People Embroidered Maxi Top and this LoveShackFancy Maxi Dress, both of which I'll feature on the blog soon!  I'm also eyeing this Free People Midi Dress.  I'm not usually a fan of black, but I love how the florals pop on this Free People top.  I'm also eyeing this Madewell peplum top.  ZARA has a lot of great floral pieces for fall.  I'm eyeing this Floral Print Dress!

Spell & The Gypsy Collective Bianca Long Sleeve Dress;

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher;

Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Backpack Mini

We took a last-minute trip to Florida last week and I wore this beautiful Spell & the Gypsy dress out to dinner one night in Fernandina Beach.  I'm very into purple right now, which is a big trend for fall, so when I saw this beautiful dress I immediately ordered it.  I forgot my other sandals in the car so I just slipped on my Adidas slides, which I pretty much wear with everything anyway.  But I'm very excited for cooler temps because this dress will be great paired with booties!  (I'm eyeing these Sam Edelman booties.)

P.s. My daughter wore her Spell Folk Town dress, which I purchased last year and appears to be out of stock, but the blouse is still available, which she also has, here!

purple puff sleeve sweater

For Love & Lemons Brooke Pointelle Puff Sleeve Sweater;

Levi's 501 Short Long;
 Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

For Love & Lemons is known for their delicate, lacy pieces, especially in lingerie, but I am obsessed with their knits.  Every fall I look forward to seeing what they put out and this year did not disappoint.  How pretty is this puff sleeve sweater?  I love the colour and I'm all for a puff sleeve.  It could be dressed up or down.  I paired it with a new pair of Levi's denim shorts, which are super comfortable.  This sweater also comes in green!  I'm also loving this color block pullover and this cropped sweater.  I also ordered this v-neck knit back in May (worn here on my Insta), which is now on sale, and can't wait to wear it when it starts to cool down!

oversized tee

Fernandina Beach, Florida

Free People We the Free Honey Tee in Moxie Pink;

AGOLDE Parker Vintage Loose Fit Cutoff Shorts;

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher;

Louis Vuitton Palm Springs Backpack Mini

Do you ever get to the point where you suddenly realize you need something desperately in your closet (i.e., jeans, underwear...)?  For me, currently, it's t-shirts.  I wear t-shirts so often because I'm a stay-at-home mom and live in the South and the other day I realized 95% of my t-shirts are worn out.  So I was/am on the hunt for the perfect everyday tee.  (C'mon sweater weather!)  I was drawn to this Free People tee because it's oversized but originally did not like the fit.  But because I'm in desperate need of t-shirts, I decided to keep it.  I'm so glad I did because it's SO soft and comfy to wear and the colour is so pretty!  Bonus: it comes in 8 colours!

p.s. I happened to pick up this FRIENDS tee while I was in Florida last week.  It's also super soft!

pretty pastels for fall

LoveShackFancy Aspyn Pullover (also here);

Tularosa Shorts (old, similar here for only $46!);

Lack of Color Zulu Rancher

I don't think there's another brand that has prettier clothes than LoveShackFancy.  This sweater is SO pretty.  I love the pastel colours on the sleeves.  Every piece of their collection has a detail that just makes it ultra romantic and feminine.  I thought it was best to stay with the romantic theme and pair this pastel sweater with white lace shorts (also because it's been deathly hot here).  Of course this sweater would look great with a pair of jeans, although I would opt for a lighter wash. 

I'm also loving this pastel sweater by Lovers + Friends and this pastel sweater by Free People, both more budget-friendlier.
