Found. The perfect dress for parties, weddings, and dates.
So good for summer, and can be taken into fall with a jacket. The pleated maxi dress is available here for $121. Wear it with these flats or these heels.
Ps, it also comes as a mini dress (freaking love) or as a top.
It’s the freakin’ weekend! So excited about that. It’s been a good week. I spent the last two days in upstate South Carolina at a Land of Nod shoot for their August issue. More details coming soon, but it was looking really good.
Okay, as usual One Kings Lane killed it this week so I thought I’d do a best of post – it’s been awhile since I have. So here ya go…
Behind The Lens launched with some prints I hadn’t seen mixed in with some favorite Slim Aarons & Gray Malin prints that are straight up my alley.
If you need a little help sprucing up your eat in dining nook check out this Affordable Dining Furniture collection. I feel like cool chairs can update any eat in space. I really love these white asher chairs for most any space.

A Coastal Bedroom shop opened up today and there are really a lot of great pieces in there like these nesting tables and this indigo bench. Definitely worth perusing even if you don’t consider your style to be “coastal”. This key lime velvet daybed bench is insane good.

A new Rug Shop launched and had a lot of rugs I hadn’t seen before. Tons over there to choose from so don’t miss it.
Happy shopping.
Raise of hands, who’s been in the water this summer? I’m ashamed to say that I haven’t actually! I mean, we’ve been to the beach and yep, we have a pool, I just haven’t gotten around to getting in myself. Shame and ridiculous. But I’m preparing for our Naples vacation where I’ll spend everyday in the water and so I have swimwear on the mind. Particularly the kind of swimwear that holds you in so you can think less about how your top is laying and more about relaxing.
Miraclesuit tankini top & bottoms
Nordstrom is a favorite source for swimwear for me, much like everything else. Have you seen their handy dandy swimsuit guide that helps find suits that specialize in different “tasks” like fitting a long torso, supporting your chest, minimizing your bottom, and so on. It’s great! A few favorites I found…
trina turk bikini, tommy bahama twist front bikini, red one piece suit
stripe cover-up, trina turk twist bikini, boyfriend shirt cover-up, all sunglasses
You can check out Nordstrom’s swim shop here. And I’ll leave you with a few more favorites… I especially love this one piece.

Good morning, y’all! Today I’m bringing the sweet smell of Charleston’s confederate jasmine to your computer screens, if only by your imagination. It truly is heavenly and is blooming all over Charleston. Such a sweet season here in the Holy City.
tibi pavement skirt (on sale at zappos), halogen black tee, miu miu sandals (similar)
j.crew sequin purse (similar), christina jervey neck cuff and bangles
So this is my Tibi skirt I wore to the Hampden Clothing Tibi show last month. I love it so much! It’s on serious sale at Zappos right now and all sizes are stocked. I’m in an 8 for your sizing reference.
My Miu Miu heels are from a few season ago so I was looking for similar feeling pairs. How amazing is this DKNY strappy pair? I’m in love. And this pair is awesome too and on sale for $55. Likewise, my J.Crew glitter purse isn’t available anymore either but loving this variation of it! So pretty.
Need a new little black tee? Check out this Halogen one, comes in 12 different colors and is only $39!

All neutrals, all under $100.
lace back tee, embroidered eyelet dress, tie dye stripe tank
pony tail holder, slip on leather sandals, reversible tote
check print sundress, mesh panel maxi dress, tie dye maxi
That cute reversible tote is under $50 and comes in a red version, too. And take 25% off that tie dye dress as well as others in Piperlime’s Social Summer sale. And I cheated a little. That black mesh panel maxi is actually $110 but it was too cute to leave out.
But if you’re looking for the steal of the century and like simple shift dresses (can’t have enough imo) THIS ONE comes in 5 colors and is only $58. Great for a date night or dress it down with some sandals for running errands.
Ps, today I’m at my gal pal Courtney’s blog sharing my fashion snapshot. She’s a doll if you don’t already know her.
I eat like a man. It’s true. I mean, I throw in lady-like health foods but I really want meat and potatoes and bread all day long. On Pinterest I follow a lot of different food pinners and most of them stick to a style. You know, really healthy or not so much. And I’ve just found a pinner who totally gets me. Hi Aladdin! You’re the perfect mix of burgers and cheesy appetizers mixed with healthy smoothies and salads. Why is this so important? Credibility. I feel like we’re lunch partners and they get me. So I’m much more likely to try that chickpea cobb salad recipe they just pinned into my feed. Are you still with me?
They also happen to be a company that I already love (remember my lady lunchin’ party on my screen porch?). So now I’m stalking Aladdin’s pinterest feed for party ideas and recipes. ‘Tis the season, right?
brussels sprout salad | my porch lunch
swan + flamingo lawn | sriracha street corn
fruit ice cubes | patio drankin’
charred tomato fried egg garlic toast | fresh mint iced coffees
alfresco dining | coconut mojitos
bacon avocado pizzas | aladdin masons
grapefruit margaritas | chicken wings
So if you like to eat, drink, and throw a pretty party, Aladdin’s pinterest is where it’s at and are a must follow.
PS, the next two weeks I’m pinning to their Summer Sips board! Don’t miss ’em.
Was this post brought to you by Aladdin? Yes it was, and they rock hard. Don’t pretend you don’t want to eat that breakfast sandwich up there, too.
