With the summer solstice behind us I’d say we are in the heat of summer and I love it. My favorite season to live in and to shop for. Right now I’m realllly into corded charm necklaces and cute & casual matching sets.
I love these new zodiac hair brushes, so fun! This red wrap dress is a perfect culmination the cool things this summer (drop waist, red, wrap). And is Posse is absolutely killing it right now, don’t you think?
New and right now in my life – these stripe cotton shorts! I just keep grabbing for them b/c they feel like boxers but have better structure and fit so they pass as actual shorts in the while. They have a cute little pocket in the back. And they’re on sale right now.
Warning: this is a big post :) There’s just so much to share.
Getting the invitation to join Shopbop to celebrate the opening of their Pop Up Shop in Chicago was a dream trip for me. I think y’all know that it’s my favorite site. I’ve checked their new arrivals by like 10 AM every morning. I am a devotee. And to see it IRL and hang out with the Shopbop team? Dreams.
Let’s start from the beginning. Travel outfit consisted of a cute Staud set that I saw a friend wearing a couple of months ago. It’s the perfect soft and stretchy set that has a nice weight to keep you warm on the plane!
Upon landing and checking into the hotel – Hotel Emily – it’s connected to the Shopbop pop up shop, I immediately tried on the pajamas that were waiting for me in my room. I love the oversized flowy style of these and the fabric is the softest and has a nice little stretch to it.
That evening we had a little preview of the Shopbop pop up store, followed by a Rag & Bone cocktail party at Bisous, followed by an intimate dinner with the Shopbop team at Maxwell Trading. That meal was absolutely insane.
I had an incredible lunch at Alla Vita with some of the other influncers/content creators that Shopbop flew in for the events. Loved getting to meet Jenna, Brittany, and Charli in person! Of course you know Liz.
We had dinner at Doma with Aligne and Shopbop, and it was one of my favorite events! It was fun to meet so many Chicago creators. And it was fun to see all of the Aligne pieces styled in different ways.
Very cool to get to sit with Caroline at dinner. I adore her even more now! Do you follow her Caroline’s Closet Shopbop Hearts page on their site? I’m trying to get her and the Shopbop team to come to Charleston for a pop up!! Fingers crossed.
And I think that’s it, you guys!! When it was time to travel home I wore this comfy and warm outfit. Again, I can’t handle being cold on a plane. And I’m not normally a jeans to fly kind of girl but these are oversized and super comfy!!
Yesterday I shared 7 recent casual day outfits, and today I’m sharing 7 recent dressy/casual outfits. The kind of outfits that you could make work for dinner. The kind of outfits that aren’t over the top, but still feel special. Nothing overly fancy!
I wore this first outfit to a dinner with Over The Moon celebrating Marie Oliver’s 10 year anniversary. I love this set so much. But the pieces will be cute worn separately, too!
Josh and I had dinner with friends Saturday night and I wore this black mini. I love this brand and this style so much, there are a lot of different colors.
Honestly this next dress could go in the casual day outfits, but I wore this yesterday and loved it so much that I wanted to share here b/c I think it’ll sell out sooner rather than later.
And just a reminder I post all of my outfits on my Shopmy Outfits page so you can always go there to see my posts in real time :) Sizing info is usually posted there, too, but you can always message me if you have a question!
Happy Monday! I hope it was a good weekend, for you. Our’s was really nice. Fletch had a local lacrosse tournament so the boys were actually home this weekend, and his team won the tournament! Josh and I had dinner Saturday with friends at Pelato downtown, it’s a new italian spot. It was pretty good! Father’s day was spent on the lacrosse field followed by dinner at Little Jacks. I’ve been binging Ginny & Georgia, it’s not as light and fun as the other seasons but still really good.
Today I’m sharing 7 of my recent more casual outfits (and I’m going to share my recent dressier outfits tomorrow). Starting with this cute outfit I walked to lunch in on Friday!
Lilly and I had a staycation at The Dunlin last week and it was kinda perfect. This was my outfit one of the days that I wore to breakfast and shopping.
I can’t remember what i wore this next outfit to but it was sometime last week, I don’t think it was for anything special. But I love the deep twist on this fitted black top, and these white jeans are the perfect summer jean!!
This navy linen shift dress is the perfect thing in my closet to throw on in a pinch, it basically works for everything from errands to lunch to casual dinner or even over a swimsuit!
Good morning from the Dunlin. Lil and I are here for a little staycation, hanging out at the pool and just taking it easy. We might do a little shopping today too, perhaps. About to head off to breakfast now :) I love a resort breakfast, it’s always one of my favorite parts of any trip. And this hotel has a fabulous large screen porch overlooking the marsh, which is just the loveliest AM setting!
Today I’m sharing the new arrivals I’m loving the most – so many cute summery things in here!
If this brand isn’t on your radar yet then it should be. It’s so freaking cute! This dress just showed up today and I’ve clicked over to it like 3 times, the print is so freaking gorgoeus. And I love the easy shape. If you’ve loved the scarf style top trend but feel a little intimidated then this top is a great option with the straps! I love it! Tnuck dropped this red gingham halter top dress and i love the simple lines, it’s literally the perfect picnic dress. And this print by Hill House might be my new fave!
Happy Saturday! I went to a birthday party at a friend’s house last night, and I was home before 9 and joined Lilly in the family room to watch Lost. She just started it, I think we watched episode 6 and some of 7 of the first season.
Josh and I watched Lost 15 years ago, I know this because I remember Lilly sleeping in her bassinet next to us while we binged it. Funny how things come around. She has no idea the wild ride that she’s embarked on with this show! (I just deleted my LOL at the end of that sentence. I recently saw a meme making fun of millennials and their absolute need to add lol to the end of all sentences. I felt so seen. I’m not giving it up entirely but will try to be more conscious.) I also just had to look up how to spell millennials because my first stab at it was milleneals which I knew right away was very wrong, lol. :)
I have a clear Saturday which is basically my favorite thing. Lilly and I are going to The Dunlin tomorrow for a 2 night staycation! I’m so excited. We plan to hang by the pool, shop at Freshfields, and just all around enjoy resort life. Their spa is always amazing, but I don’t have anything scheduled right now b/c the available times weren’t great for me. I also plan to get some good reading done (I’m going to start this book there at the pool, and Lilly is reading this book).
Okay let’s discuss a few faves I may not have told you about yet, or that you may have missed:
I just bought this Victoria Beckham Bitten Lip Tint and after trying it for like 24 hours immediately ordered two more colors. VB ‘s makeup is elite. I don’t know if you’ve tried it yet but gosh I love everything I buy and end up reordering or ordering more shades. For the lip tint I started with “Poupette” (literally the perfect nude stain shade, I put it on in the morning it just makes me feel more alive) and now have both Amour and Je T’aime on their way to me. I also swear by her concealer pen. Trust. I could go on about other products of hers but I don’t want to overwhelm you. Oh fine, I’ve reordered her Posh Lipstick multiple times, too. The shade “Pout” it not to be missed. It’s her fave as well, fyi.
I have some updated casual summer basics that I want to put on your radar. I got a few of these JCrew tees, they’re such a good price and do the trick. These shorts – I wear them so much, they’re so cute and comfortable. The jelly flats are new and such a cute, elevated thong sandal. They have a leather footbed so they feel dressier. And my netted bag feels like the most fun summer accessory!!
And I moved my charms around on my charm necklace last night. It’s funny how doing that can make a difference, I got a few comments on how cute it is last night. And Adina’s charms are so easy to clip and move around to other necklaces, too!
*** While we are talking about favorite basics, if there’s just one basic every day fave you need to check then let it be this support bralette. I’m telling you it’s the most supportive wire free bralette, and it has thin adjustable straps (good for summer clothes). It’s a goat of every day bras.
Alright I must have really wanted to talk about basics today b/c I feel the need to add this reminder about the Amazon paracord sandals. I bought them in the red – they’re so legit!! This is notable bc as we know not everything on Amazon is legit.
Now, on the other side of basic let’s move on to two Me & Em new arrivals that are sitting in my shopping cart. This printed cotton dress, holy moly cute. And one of my favorite dresses that I own from them just dropped in this fabulous stripe edition.
Last but not least, I bought this beaded dress from Zara b/c the price was so good for it looking like a designer piece. I don’t know when I’ll wear it yet but I’m thinking a girly dinner would be so fun!!
