What’s your skirt style? Short, patterned, fitted, long, a dress? I’m pretty much all of the above.

Which are your favorites? I love them all but my most favorites for me are in bold. I also have a lot of love for this maya skirt and this gradient skirt, neither pictured above. And can we please talk about those Alexandre Birman ankle tie sandals up there with the striped skirt? I mean, whoa.
Hey, thanks for all the sweet comments on my family vacation pics I shared this morning. Whenever I’m having a bad day I’ll just pull those up :)

You may have seen on my instagram feed that last week I was in Naples, FL. We went with 30 of my family members and had the best time. My grandparents have a place there so I’ve grown up vacationing in Naples. It’s such a wonderful town, one of my very favorites. Since there were so many of us on this trip most of us stayed at the Ritz Carlton. It was fabulous.

These trips are so precious to me since I live pretty far from my family. We spent most of our time at the pool and beach (and used A LOT of my favorite sunscreen – after a week in the sun none of us had a burn!). Here are a few random pictures from our week. This first one sums it up, we were such happy clams.

Modeling my Marysia Swim Lanai Dress. On my tippy toes, of course.

Lilly and me watching the sunset.

This is the pool at my Granny and Papa’s. Pretty incredible, isn’t it?

Speaking of, here’s my beautiful granny.

Random, but that Foley & Corinna bag was the only bag I took with me to FL. It’s the most perfect bag that can also swing over your shoulder and goes with everything. I’ve had it for years.
Here are my sis-n-law, Kim, and cousin-n-law, Kelsey…
(Loving Kim’s skirt and Kelsey’s Tarana Maxi Dress. My dress sold out but this is similar.)

Of course I snuck in some shopping. How cute are these Rag & Bone bike shorts?

Below spy Lilly pouting on her last day, but still looking cute in her Marysia Swim Bumby swimsuit that her Auntie Marysia over-nighted to the Ritz just for her (that Lilly has connections already). This is a sample, but production is happening and Bumby pre-orders will be happening soon. More on that next week.

She also got to make her very first tie dye tee. It’s being mailed to us or I would show you how it turned out.

It was a pretty amazing time. I know we live in an amazing city and have the beach right here, too, but it’s so nice to get away and have a full week of nothing to do but play. Vacations are good for the soul.

I’m loving my MSGM panther skirt so much that I’m featuring it again paired with one of my favorite tops, this navy and white dotted tie front top.

I totally forgot to take a picture of it, but the back of this top has the cutest little back slit. I love it because it gives a fun and cute detail back there but still allows me to wear my bra. You can see the back here.

And these bond girl heels are totally my jam. Do they get cuter than this??

If you’re digging the panther print, too, then you have to have to check out this dress.

Sharing my favorite neutrals that are anything but boring. Because I always feel like I’ve made a wise decision anytime I invest in neutrals. Don’t you?

 
this large bow lariat necklace… i can’t even.
couldn’t go wrong with this ruffled tiers top, the cheetah or the black version.
this slouchy jumpsuit has me convinced that i need to just get one already. it’s so fun.
this modern, retro, romantic dress would magically turn anyone into a goddess.
be summer and fall ready with this flirty tribal dress. great price too.
love the ruched back of this little tank. the pink version is beautiful, too.
cluster sequin tee happiness and 40% off.
most perfect little ikat shorts, comfortable and affordable.
I pulled that cluster sequin tee out of J.Crew’s 40% off vacation picks sale section. I love this sale b/c it’s an edited list of new and current things like my button front dress and a bunch of those cute pop over tops. You should really go take a quick look.
PS, happy Father’s Day to all those amazing Dads out there.

It’s usually the front of a piece that makes me fall hard in love. But sometimes… sometimes it’s the back, too.

Little Owl Dress – MSGM is one of my most favorite brands, & this is a perfect example of why.
Tribal Cross Back Dress – And yet another example of MSGM amazingness.
Striped Tie-Back Dress: There is nothing that I don’t love about this dress.

 Liya Mallot – One of summer’s sexiest one pieces, I am certain. Heart the bikini version, too.
Drop waist floral dress – Live in it all summer & it’ll carry you into fall. So cute w/ a blazer.
Sapphire Silk Sheath – This dress is simply stunning and could take you just about anywhere.

One Resort Maxi Dress – there are 9 colors to choose from and such a great price!
Sequin Pencil Skirt – Alright, so it’s no different in the back. But who can resist mint sequins?

LulaKate’s latest capsule collection of ready to wear dresses are knocking my socks off. I don’t need to go on and on as to why I love this Avondale dress, because you surely know.

lulakate avondale dress c/o, textured white blazer (similar),
Oh hell, I’ll tell you anyway. This pretty patterned dress has the best kind of “I have curves” feminine  shape. It’s the perfect dress for a wedding, church, brunch… And don’t you just love pink and orange together? I was pumped when I realized it paired so well with my new Cole Haans that I want to wear every single day (which by the way are currently 50% off).

LulaKate’s capsule collection dresses are extra special because they’re available for just a short period of time and they’re made to order. So when you place your order the gals at LulaKate here in Charleston go and cut your dress in your size from their bolt of fabric. Then they send it up to NYC to be sewn in the garment district (applause for made in America). At the end of the season LulaKate re-uses any leftover fabric for other projects or collaborations. No waste. Super cool girls working super smart.

I’m just glad they cut this exact dress for me :)

Shop the latest gorgeous LulaKate capsule collection here!

PS for those interested: I’m wearing one of my new top secret lace bralettes underneath :)
