Color Crush

Sunday, June 29, 2014









Nicole Miller dress - Dillard's
Envelope clutch - J.Crew Factory (similar lime clutch found here)
Earrings - Maude Boutique (similar here)
Bracelet - J.Crew (similar here)
Shoes - Nordstrom Rack


I had been on the hunt for weeks for the perfect dress to wear to a friend's outdoor summer wedding earlier this month. Anyone who has ever lived in or visited Arkansas in the summer knows first hand that the temperatures can be less than comfortable, and the humidity can take your hair from perfectly coiffed to a frizzy mess in a matter of seconds. With that in mind, the dress not only had to look great but also feel comfortable. After much online perusing and window shopping, I found this gem at Dillard's here in Little Rock. The bright colors and pattern caught my eye immediately (how could it not?) and the light weight neoprene fabric allowed me to stay cool, even when dancing the night away at the reception. And you can literally pair any color with it. Any. I chose these sweet lime pointy toe pumps and lime envelope clutch to complete the look. 
 
Here are few iPhone snap shots from the wedding:

Sequins + Fringe

Tuesday, June 24, 2014







Crop top - RiffRaff (no longer available, also found here and similar here)
Fringe skirt - Anthropologie (no longer available online, still available in stores)
Purse - Hazel's Haven (similar here)
Bracelet - vintage
Earrings - Etsy
Shoes - Jimmy Choo (similar here and here)

Nothing says fun and flirty like fringe and sequins! I had my eye on this navy fringe pencil skirt at Anthropologie for weeks, and finally bit the bullet and bought it! I couldn't be more happy with it. The skirt is surprisingly versatile, either worn with a tied up tee for a more casual feel or with a sequin crop like above.The top gives the skirt a more playful feel, so fun for a date night or drinks with the girls! I also tied the the outfit together with my favorite Jimmy Choo wedges. I've had them for years and still find myself pulling them out of my closet again and again.
