Happy first day of Summer!  Summer is my favourite season.  I love the heat, which is why we moved from Canada to South Carolina.  Fall is a close second, but mostly when it comes to fashion, and summer being here just means fall is close by.  Unfortunately, fall doesn't start here until November or so, but I'm not complaining... that's usually when the fall sales start.  Summer fashion isn't usually as exciting, but then LoveShackFancy dropped a line for Target a couple of weeks ago!  I stayed up until 3 am, which was worth it because I was able to score 3 beautiful dresses.  (Unfortunately I think the entire line sold out, but I'd keep checking for returns or your local store!)

Last weekend I 'celebrated' my birthday.  I put that in quotes because we didn't really do anything because I'm still too nervous to eat out.  Even though we didn't go anywhere, I wanted to dress up so I put on this LoveShackFancy for Target tiered dress and it definitely felt like a special occasion.  This dress is SO pretty!  The tiered style makes you want to twirl around in it.  I love a floral print and I love the colorblocking.  It's so comfortable too.  The best part?  It was $40!

#OOTD / the maxi dress of all maxi dresses

{Free People Merida Printed Maxi Dress}

Happy Friday!  Ok, today's #OOTD isn't so much an outfit, but I mean, this dress...all you need is this dress.  I have no words.  This is a dress that screams BUY ME, but unfortunately it comes in XS/S (and M/L) sizing and because I'm so petite, those usually end up being too big for me.  So bummed.  This is the ultimate boho maxi dress.  Super breezy and a dress you can live in all summer.  The colours are SO gorgeous.  Shopbop paired the dress with these sandals, which are gorgeous and go with the easy breezy vibe of the dress, but I picture a pair of gladiator sandals (love these, these and these).  That is, if you're not frolicking on the beach barefoot.

Happy shopping!

take me away

Dreaming of a vacation!  I almost feel guilty saying that since I already live in the South, but a few days of cold weather and I'm done. I want out of here. (Ok, it's definitely not that bad, but who doesn't love to go away?)  I'm always hearing about Tulum, so I had that in mind when I was putting this collage together.   

Happy shopping!

perfectly victorian

Free People Perfectly Victorian Mini;

sandals: MICHAEL Michael Kors; sunglasses: Prada}

If someone asked me to describe Free People to them, I would show them this dress.  It's flowy and the details are incredibly beautiful.  I paired it with wedge sandals for a night out, but it looks great with a pair of gladiator sandals (I just bought these red ones and they look great with this dress).  I wore this dress out to dinner with my husband and kids - to celebrate our 10 year anniversary!  We tried a new restaurant this time (we have seriously been to Olive Garden 4x since we've moved here, mainly because it's down the street).  We went to Carrabba's Italian Grill.  I had the Margherita pizza and Caesar salad which were delicious and the Sogno Di Cioccolata "Chocolate Dream" dessert was to die for!

LDD: little denim dress

{One Teaspoon Lotus Denim Dress (also here); hat: Talula; bracelet: J.Crew; 

sneakers: Vans; sunglasses: Prada}

I came across this One Teaspoon dress and searched everywhere for my size, but sadly could not find it.  So I ordered this one instead, which is very similar.  It's the perfect little denim dress because you can wear it everywhere.  Just throw it on and head to the beach, run errands, etc.  I wore this dress to dinner the other night - with a bandeau so there were no 'wardrobe malfunctions' - and gladiator sandals, see here).  My favourite part of this dress is the back, but you can see the front and how I styled it with a necklace here.
