Hey dolls!  I've missed ya! 

 

So I know I haven't had a new post in a few weeks, but my weekends have been super busy and well you know, the days just fly by.  I've also been trying to enjoy these last few weeks of summer, so I've been beaching and bbq'ng it up so my outfits have been pretty relaxed.   I still can't believe were at the end of August!   Today's post is just a cute re-cap of a blogger brunch I attended over the weekend.  

 

Blogger friend Alana from Alana Marie Style set up a blogger brunch and I was so excited to see my girls.  Long story short....Alana couldn't make it due to a terrible accident on I95, and a few other girls had to cancel last minute so it ended up just being Suzy Suzy's Closet, Patty Patty's Kloset and I.   We had a fabulous brunch at Refinery Rooftop with an amazing view.  Then it was a little shopping and a walk through Bryant Park.  I wore one of my favorite summer dresses that I got 2yrs ago from HauteLook.  Summer dresses are my go to, their cute and not clingy.  Unless you want them to be...LOL!  Perfect for those extra hot days. 

 

Next week I'll have a beauty post!  Thanks to Influenster, I got to take the 3 week better skin challenge using SuperStay Better Skin Foundation by Maybelline.  I've loved the results so far and I can't wait to share it with you.   Last but not least.....I caved in and started a SnapChat!

Swimsuit: Lucy One-Piece  {Wet Swimwear}

 

 

 

I can't believe were already in August, it seems like summer is flying by.  Today I'm sharing a fun beach style.  I'm usually a two-piece girl but when I had the chance to choose one of these amazing swimsuits by WET Swimwear, this one-piece had my name all over it. 

 

If you haven't upgraded your swimwear for this season, now is the time!  Swimsuits are on sale everywhere!  If your not a one-piece kind of girl, mix your prints when buying that two-piece.  It's a fun way to play with prints.  It's also a great way to save money.  Mix your old bottoms with a new fun colorful top.  Work with what you've got!

 

Happy shopping!

Sky Blue

 

 

 

 

 

Denim Vest & Dress: Target | Sunglasses: Aldo | Blue Oxfords: Zara | Handbag: Michael Kors

 

 

 

Hey dolls!  I took advantage of the Zara sale and scored these sky blue oxfords for only $19.99!  Zara why do you always make me broke?!

 

I bought them because I thought they would be perfect for fall outfits, but I couldn't help but want to wear them now.  With summer coming to an end soon, I do like to invest in pieces that I can wear now and later. 

 

Hope you like!  Have a great day!

SUMMER TREND: Vests

 

Vest: Lulus | Top & Belt: Old Navy | Shorts & Handbag: Target | Sandals & Necklace: Kohl's | Sunnies: Aldo

 

 

A must have for layering during the summer season, is a vest. 

I've been obsessed with them lately, it's basically the summer jacket.  Their super versatile and can be worn in so many different ways.  I have another blog post coming next week, where I'm wearing a denim one.  What's great is that they can be worn pretty much all year long. 

 

Whether you go long, short, denim, silk or lace invest in one that you know you'll wear over and over again.  Their especially great for the office.

 

Have a great day sweets!

SUMMER TREND: Flirty Cut-Outs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

Sunglasses: Aldo | Bracelet & Earrings: Kendra Scott | Dress: Zinke-Rooney Dress | Sandals: TJ Maxx 

 

 

It's a HOT Monday in my neighborhood, stay cool out there!

 

We all love wearing summer dresses, and this season one of the latest trends is "cutouts." 

 

I'm not one to show too much skin, but little details like side slits and backless can be super fun and flirty without being overly sexy or raunchy.  If your not completely comfortable about cutout dresses, chose an area that your confident with. 

 

Have fun with it!

SUMMER TREND | Bright Sunnies

Hey sweets!  Hope you all enjoyed the long weekend.  I can't live without my sunglasses!  Whether its summer or winter, I LOVE rocking shades.  For summer I always keep it bright, fun, and sometimes embellished.  I got these soft pink shades from Five Below for $2.50! 

 

A little shopping tip:  Keep it cheap when buying sunglasses.  If your anything like me, I'm always losing or sitting on them. 

 

Keep those pretty eyes safe while looking glam and cool!

 

On a side note....if you  noticed my hair is curly!  Rare sighting!!!!

I'm challenging myself to no heat all summer.  I've damaged my hair with color and heat for sooooo long, I figured I would embrace my curls and get them healthy!  I think about my blow dryer daily, but I'm sure it will get better.  Is it fall yet?  LOL! 

 

Have a great day!
