As fall starts to roll in, there are certain summer trends that will be transitioning through with me. That is, tiered ruffles and embroidery. I am sure tassel earrings will come along as well, but today I am spotlighting a great clutch and an amazing top!
To start things off, lets chat about this statement top from Shein. I actually purchased it on Amazon and got it in 2 days through Prime! The material of this piece is heavy, making it a bit more dressy and perfect for any occasion. What makes this top so special is the sleeves. The ruffled tier design is so edgy and fun! This is a trend that I was a bit late to jump on, but am really excited about. Wearing a top like this is just so different!
Pairings
With the neckline being rather bare, I decided to pair this beautiful top with a sparkling statement piece from Charming Charlie. This necklace is so beautiful and has such intricate detailing! It really adds a special touch to this top and completes the look!
Since there is a lot going on with the top, I chose dark wash skinny jeans and heels to streamline the look, and balance out all of the details. And to add that cherry on top finish, I added this amazing clutch my Steven by Steve Madden. Seriously, isn’t it fun?! The bright color embroidery is what drew me in, along with the design and the tassel accents! I feel like I am carrying a art piece when I take this bag out. Its just so unique!
So to wrap up this look, I decided to bring together 3 bold pieces, which on their own can make a statement, but all together create a complete look! Since everything is solid and only my clutch has a print it is easy to add multiple statements to one look!
Since my collaboration with SaraBoo, I seriously cannot stop wearing these pieces! Every item fits beautifully and the quality is really great for the price. This particular piece is a tropical print romper. The material is very thin, perfect for summer and secures with a back zipper and neck tie. Everything about the fit and print screams summer fun! If you are in the market for great vacation wear then look no further than SaraBoo.
I absolutely love the sleeve length and short style of this romper. There are subtle embroidered features and pleat detailing that really make this piece a show stopper. It is a one and done ensemble, where all you need is accessories to finish it off, perfect for packing!
I decided to pair this piece with my signature straw fedora, Baublebar, Elaine Turner, and Kendra Scott gold-tone layering necklaces, this fun orange clutch from Henri Bendel, (similar) and bold mirrored sunnies from Sam Moon.
I wore this ensemble to a fun day of shopping at Silver Street Studios followed by a party at Elaine Turner and was able to stay comfortable and cute all day!

If there is one piece of clothing everyone needs in their wardrobe, it is a chambray top. This is honestly one of the most versatile and transitional pieces around! From shorts in the summer to layered under sweaters in the winter, this piece will carry you through the seasons. And, another thing that makes this top a must, is no matter your style, you can work chambray into your wardrobe.
To show you just how versatile it can be, I have teamed up with Kristine from Kristines Kalidoscope, and Lan from Thelanline to give you three different style options that you can wear now!
Each of us will be sharing their outfit breakdown on their blog, so check it out! Here I will be sharing my look, enjoy!
So I decided to go with a printed pant and a fall transition palette. The tonal green of the camo print (similar) really makes the blue of the chambray pop! I wanted a more oversized fit so I purchased this top in a medium. The relaxed fit gives this a more casual feel, perfect for pairing with printed jeans and sneakers.
Speaking of sneakers, I chose faux suede mesh inspired sneakers from MIA and a cognac messenger bag to complete the look. The warm tones blend well together and give this look a finished touch. Once the weather cools I would layer a tan sweater over the chambray and add gold tone accessories to transform the look.
For some shoe inspo, here is a closeup of our selections. As you can see the color options are limitless with chambray, as well as the level of dressiness you want to take it!
So here’s to having fun the last few days of summer, and enjoy creating unique ensembles with chambray!
When I think of a luaus or Hawaiian print my first thoughts are of those terrifyingly tacky shirts people wear on vacation. You know… those vacation shirts that should not exist? Yea, those! Luckily there is a fabulous alternative to the Hawaiian print that has received such a bad rap!
Enter this beautiful dress from SaraBoo! The color palette is the first thing that really takes this print to the luxe level. And with the added cut-outs and shift silhouette, this dress is the ultimate representation of vacationing at its best!
Seriously though this is the perfect summer dress for vacation or any daytime event! The material is lightweight and easy to pack! It is unlined but does not require a slip. I decided to pair this piece with my favorite Mirina Collections necklace, my ceramic white Mickey Mouse watch(I was really channeling vaca vibes) and sparkling sandals from Olivia Miller. The silver accessories really pop against this print and complete the look perfectly.
So before your next vacation ditch that campy Hawaiian print top and get your hands on this fabulous dress from SaraBoo! Your photo reel will thank you!
Okay guys, I’ve got to be honest here, I have never been a fan of wearing the color yellow. It just isn’t something that jumps out at me. Don’t get me wrong, as a color it is great! So sunny and cheery. But when it comes to apparel I am just not attracted to it… that is, until now!
Something has changed for me when it comes to yellow. I am really liking the shades of that have been popping up this season and how flattering they are with even the palest of skin tones!
A perfect example, is this dress is from The White Wolf Boutique. The yellow is perfect and sleeve detail is so delicate and gorgeous! I selected this dress in a size medium and was very pleased with the fit. The small would have also fit me, but in this particular style, I was looking for a more relaxed fit. The White Wolf Boutique offers beautiful casual appeal of great quality and price! Check them out for great all weekend tops and accessories.
To style this look I decided to pair it with wedges from Target, delicate layering necklaces from Elaine Turner, and Kendra Scott, and a fun cheetah print wallet for Juicy Couture.
Yellow is really great for pairing with gold tone accessories, cheetah print or even turquoise!
So cheers to yellow, and trying new color palettes this season!
I love getting my hands on a terrific dress any chance I can. So when something like this amazing piece comes my way, you can’t help but celebrate! This is one of those pieces that almost transforms you! Immediately I felt confident and gorgeous, ready to step out and conquer my day. …I wish all my clothing had those powers!
So this dress is extremely lightweight and has a full button front. The high-low hem is perfect for finding wind and creating a gorgeous flowing effect. I paired this piece with a neon clutch from Nine West and woven stacked heels from Madden Girl. Together, these simple accessories pull the tonal hues from the floral print, giving the colors an excellent pop!
I received this dress from Borrowed by Design, if you haven’t heard of them, they are an online retailer that offers rental and purchasable dresses where a portion of the proceeds are donated to charitable causes. Check them out for gorgeous trendy pieces as well as formals!
When I think of plaid, usually fall and winter come to mind, but I recently received this dress from Shein, and have changed my perception! This white plaid t-shirt dress is lightweight and short sleeved, making it the perfect choice for the summer months. I also think it is a perfect back to school piece!
I have paired this lightweight dress with ankle booties and a fun navy hat. With the Houston heat at its peak, I find myself reaching for hats pretty frequently to protect my face and hair from the harsh sun rays. Not to mention, hats totally add a special finishing touch to any look!
This dress is unlined so I recommend wearing a slip with it, or shapewear for a smooth finish. The length is perfect for a more conservative look and the silhouette screams fun! The best part of all is this dress is only $14.00! At that price I think it is a must for summer and early fall!
I love getting my hands on a great romper. These one-piece items are really amazing because they can create a stylish look without all of the added layers. If you are like me, and live in a very warm climate, rompers truly are your best friend! I recently had the opportunity to partner with SaraBoo, a Brazilian Boutique offering fashionable pieces to make you feel your absolute best!
One of the pieces I selected was this incredible romper. From the front keyhole accent, gorgeous print and skirt hem, this romper has it all! The fit is perfect as is the length, even for taller girls! I enjoy pairing this piece with glam sandals and sunnies like these Olivia Miller sandals from Stage, and metallic geo sunglasses from Mirina Collections.
I selected this romper in a size medium and it fits just as described. I would say order true to size from SaraBoo. Check out their site for amazing finds for vacation wear, night out clothing and even wear-to-work! Better yet, use code RED20 to get an additional % off your order! Happy shopping!
