Girls in White Dresses

I’ve added a few white dresses to my closet for the Summer and they are already in full rotation. Dresses are so easy to throw on and so cool in the brutal heat of summer in the South. I’ve rounded up my favorites for you below! I just got this one last week, and LOVE it!White Dress 2

Summer Essentials

Summer is right around the corner and these are the things I won’t be able to live with out. Cool kaftans, lightweight hats, oversized sunglasses and espadrilles. What’s on your summer list? 2016-05-18_19-21-11

Distressed Perfection

2015-02-25_18-42-51.33I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect pair of distressed, black, skinny jeans for quite some time now, and after a quick run in the Gap the other day, I came home with just the right pair! And even better, the right price. The cut is flattering and they are distressed just enough. Get your pair {here} for 30% today!

alligator museum

You never know what you will notice when you walk around New Orleans, this alligator museum is just down the street, and I’m so intrigued as to what is inside.  We took these pictures while shooting the Langford Market City Guide, and these jeans are my absolute fav. Now, I wouldn’t call them a Lucky Girl Find {they are pricey} but I’m 5’11” and they are extremely long and oh so soft, so for me they are worth the investment.

pulled together casual

This time of year I feel like I have two extremes when it comes to dressing, super casual for running errands, baking and gift wrapping and fun and glamorous for holiday parties and cocktails. I picked up a few new pieces from the Loft last weekend for both occasions, however I want to go back for a few more casual pieces, how great are these pieces to throw on, yet still looked put together.

fab find

I posted these new jeans on instagram last week, and after wearing them, I have to share this fab find. Lately my jeans and I have not gotten along, too tight, too big, too dark, too light, I can’t seem to find anything that works within my current selection. I scooped this pair up from Old Navy, mainly because they actually fit.  And after wearing them, I think I may have to snag a few more pairs. The denim is super soft, they are easy to wear and the perfect length for booties. Best part they are on sale for $19 right now!

beach walks

If I had it my way every summer evening would be spent like this {if only work didn’t get in the way}. The last beach trip I went on we took several long walks on the beach with camera in hand, of course.  My sister and I had too much fun! I couldn’t help but capture my summer uniform as of late; super soft denim shorts {I LOVE these} and stripes on top. This particular occasion called for my favorite beach find, a super inexpensive hat from Saks Off 5th.

reading and wearing

I have coffee table books all throughout my house {seen here}, I find myself picking them up occasionally as a place to look for inspiration. Don’t get me wrong, I go to Pinterest more often than not, but there is just something I love about flipping the pages of a hard cover book. I came across this beautiful book {the cover image is just perfection} and was instantly inspired.

sweater love

The weather around here has been a little crazy! And by crazy, I mean WAY to warm for this time of year. It’s hard to get in the holiday spirit when you are pulling out your shorts, instead of your scarves. Lately I have tried my best to “winterize” my looks, while still keeping cool in these warm temps. I love these Cole Haan booties {my newest addition}, and the best part, they were 60% off at the outlet!
