polka dot dress



Usually for the spring/summer season, I'm drawn to bright colours, but I can't resist a polka dot dress!  Plus, the colour of this Faithfull The Brand mini dress is one that works all year round (bonus!).  I love the babydoll style and puff sleeves.  This linen dress can be worn casually with a pair of flat sandals, or dressed up with heels.  It would also look great in the fall paired with black booties!  You could even wear this dress off-the-shoulder for another look.


Happy shopping!

crochet blouse



 

I've been obsessing over crochet this spring, but this Farm Rio Flower Crochet Blouse is SO stunning!  I love all of the beautiful, bright colours!  Of course, I love the puff sleeves.  I paired the pretty blouse with my go-to AGOLDE cutoffs, pink Lack of Color hat and pretty ZARA sandals with pearls, which are now under $30!  I usually don't wear a lot of jewellery, but I've been wearing this Free People Chain Ring Set a lot since I purchased it back in March.  Unfortunately, the colour I'm wearing is sold out, but they have the set available in brass.  I love mixing them up by only wearing a few at a time.  
 
I'm already planning my next outfit with this crochet blouse because I'm that obsessed with it.  Next, I'll be pairing it with these '70's Blue' Free People Loving Good Vibrations Cutoffs, which really bring out the bright blue in the blouse.   
 
This crochet pattern is also available in a mini dress!  Below are other pretty crochet pieces I'm loving this season:

 
Happy (crochet) shopping!

patchwork maxi top

 
 

 
 
I spoke about my love of patchwork on the blog here.  I love the patchwork on this Free People California Soul Printed Maxi Top (or midi dress, as it's referred to on the Shopbop site).  It's quite sheer so it's perfect as a beach coverup.  I threw it over a Free People FP One Adella Bralette and a pair of AGOLDE cutoffs.  You could also wear a slip underneath, or this Free People Everyday Bikeshort Romper.  It's a super lightweight chiffon material and floats with the slightest breeze, but with the long, balloon sleeves, this maxi top can take you from day to night. 
 
Happy shopping!

floral tunic




I purchased this Free People Lost In You Printed Tunic last month and have been wanting to do a proper shoot because it's one of those 'I-want-to-twirl-around-in-this' type of tunics/dresses, but I noticed it's selling out quickly everywhere and just wanted to post it up on the blog since I love it so much!  It's completely sold out on most sites, but I did find all sizes available at Dillard's (linked above) and - bonus - it's on sale!  There are also a few sizes left in the darker version here.  This tunic is so pretty!  I love the contrasting floral print and the frilly hem.  It's lightweight, which is perfect for the Florida heat, but it has long sleeves to keep you warm if it's still relatively cool where you live.  Plus, if you're taller, you'll most likely have to pair it with a pair of jeans, or shorts.  I'm so petite and can wear it as a mini dress (most mini dresses are too long on me). 
 
I love a tunic, but I especially love a Free People tunic, as seen on the blog here, here, here (paired with jeans!) and here (a tunic I wore several times on the blog).  I also recently purchased this Free People floral print tunic, which I'll be wearing on my next trip to the beach.  I love the bold floral print!  I love the ruffled collar on this Free People floral print tunic (the 'Tea Combo' is especially pretty).  I love, love, love the emerald colour of this Free People floral print tunic, and I had ordered it, but unfortunately the sleeves were too long on me.  The 'Golden Combo' is also really pretty.  Since it's been quite hot here already, I'm eyeing this sleeveless Free People floral print tunic

If you're looking for a floral print mini dress, this Free People Rosebud Print Mix Mini Dress is so pretty and comes in 3 colours!  (I'm eyeing the red one!)

friday find: anthro day!


 
Anthro Day is here!  AnthroPerks members save 20% this weekend!  Whether you're looking for a simple t-shirt, or a dress, there are a lot of beautiful items to choose from!  
 
A lot of items I've been eyeing are not included in Anthro Day (bummer, but it's probably a good thing ha).  I ordered the gorgeous Love the Label Regan Blouse, above.  The colours are so pretty!  There are so many gorgeous blouses, but I made sure to pick up some basics.  I ordered one of these T.La Boyfriend Tees, which come in 6 different colours, and could not resist this adorable Letluv Smiley Face Graphic Tee.  I also love this Farm Rio Follow The Sun Graphic Tee and this Maeve Graphic Tee.  I also ordered these Daily Practice by Anthropologie Lounge Shorts in Turquoise
 
 
If you're looking for a pair of jeans, I'm loving these AG Ultra High-Rise Balloon-Leg Jeans (so long, skinny jeans!).  I'm also loving the pretty colour of these EDWIN Bree High-Rise Slim Straight Jeans.  I live in my AGOLDE Parker denim shorts, so I scooped up the darker version!  I own these Embroidered Shorts, which are now on sale, and love them!

There are also so many great sandals on sale!  I love the floral print on these Farylrobin Floral Slide Sandals. I'm also coveting these Embellished Gladiator Sandals and these Vera for Anthropologie Scarf Gladiator Sandals (the pink ones are so pretty!).  If you're looking for a neutral sandal, these Farylrobin Side-Bow Slide Sandals are so pretty and come in 3 neutral colours!  I also love these Sam Edelman Lace-Up Sandals and these Dolce Vita Studded Ankle Strap Sandals.

Happy (Anthro Day) shopping!

printed crop flare jeans



 
Just a quick post today!  I purchased these pretty Free People Printed Crop Flare Jeans back in February and have been wanting to wear/shoot them, but it's been extrememly hot.  (I clearly should have taken advantage of the weather back in February.)  The print is so fun and I love the bright coral colour!  Unfortunately, this pretty vintage-inspired daisy print is almost sold out, but these jeans now come in an 'Indigo Gingham' print!  (They also come in another print, but they're almost sold out as well.)  These flare jeans have stretch to them so they're super comfortable.  They're cropped but, since I'm so petite, they're basically a regular flare jean on me, which makes me happy because I don't have to hem them.  I would not be surprised to see these flare jeans in more prints in the near future!
 
If you're looking for a floral print jean, I'm also obsessing over these Free People floral-print flare jeans.  The 'Hibiscus Combo' is SO pretty and, if you're really looking for a bold print, the 'Psychedelic Combo' print is super cool.  I own the 'Lime Combo' and these jeans are also super comfortable.
 
Happy (printed flare) shopping!

tie dyed knit shorts


 
 
 
 
 
When I started shopping for spring, I realized I was in need of shorts.  Something in between my H&M Sweatshorts that I've been living in for the past year (or so) and my denim cutoffs (still trying to fit back into about 90% of them).  As soon as I saw these LoveShackFancy Scalloped Tie-Dyed Shorts, I fell in love.  They come in two other colours, but I was immediately drawn to these bright pink ones.  I love that they're tie-dyed, but what drew me to them (besides the pretty colour) was the scalloped trims.  They just add that special touch.  You can wear them fitted, but I chose to size up for a more relaxed fit (mentally, I'm still in sweatpant-mode).  If they were more budget-friendly, I would be buying all three colours.  They're so comfy and exactly what I was looking for.  
 
I paired the pretty knit shorts with an equally pretty crochet shirt from ZARA.  These knit shorts would really stand out with a simple white tee.  If you love a matching set, there is a matching pullover and a matching track jacket!


Below are some (ok, a lot of) other tie-dyed pieces I'm loving for spring:

 
Happy (tie dye) shopping!

embroidered denim top

I have a slight obsession with embroidery.  Okay, it's a major obsession.  One of my all-time favourite embroidered pieces in my closet is this Free People embroidered jacket and, most recently, this Free People patchwork mini dress.  Embroidered denim?  That's a combo that's hard for me to resist.  One of my favourite embroidered denim pieces is this pair of ZARA embroidered jeans.  The embroidery just adds that special touch to make a simple pair of jeans (or denim shirt in this case) unique. 
 
This Free People Marrakesh Embroidered Denim Top is definitely a unique piece.  The embroidery on the front is so pretty, but I especially love the back of this top!  I chose to go denim on denim and pair this top with my go-to AGOLDE cutoffs, but it would really pop against a pair of white jeans.  It would also look great paired with black jeans and some boots in the fall!
 
 
Happy shopping!
