A Paisley Dress, Denim Jacket, + The Fall!

Funny Story: As my sister and I are walking down the stairs in our apartment building to go shoot this very look, I attempt to reply to a text message on my phone and miss the bottom 3 steps and completely tumble down onto my butt!! I'm talking a complete fall where my dress billows over my head. I sat there in shock a few moments and then burst into tears. I broke my toenail horribly and skinned my knee..(who still skins their knee??) After a few minutes I pulled myself together with the help of my sis and went back up to our apartment to further assess the damage and clean up my bruises and a few minutes later, after washing my face, I hobbled back downstairs  to shoot this look. Talk about dedication! Immediately after, I put band-aids on all my bruises. Moral of the Story: DON'T TEXT AND WALK DOWN THE STAIRS or while doing pretty much anything else!

BOOM!

Hi Loves! It's Friday! Gyeah!! I'm going out with a bang this week (a BOOM to be more exact) with this look! This Phillip Lim for Target Sweatshirt was kind of a treat to myself a couple of weeks ago. I was in Target looking for resume paper and I saw that there was still some great pieces from the collection and snagged it. I love the quality and it's so easy to dress down with jeans or up with a (p)leather skirt and chucks like I did here! My yellow mini satchel sealed the deal! What do you think about my look??

With Peplum On Top!

Hi Loves!! In today's post, I style this ivory peplum top with a floral A-line skirt. There is something so chic and classic about a peplum top. You can style it with jeans, shorts, or like I did in today's look. Peplum tops not only accentuate curves but it can slim and contour at the same time, making you look sleek and put together. I don't see this trend going anywhere, anytime soon. How do you style your peplum tops? 

>>WEDDING UPDATE<< We are moving full steam ahead in planning our wedding and we are are now in the [Decor] stage and we've been on the hunt for floral vases for our reception centerpieces among other things! My fiance and I spent most of our weekend searching for vases and we've found so many and I love that we have developed a vision for what we want out of our wedding and how it is slowly but surely coming to fruition. (Whoda thunk I'd become a DIY Bride?) It's nerve wracking but pretty damn exhilarating at the same time. 

I just have to shout out my Fiance, he's truly amazing y'all! I thank God that he's not the kind of man that only wants to put on a tux and show up to the wedding, he has really been a thoughtful, helpful, sweet, and calming force throughout some wedding planning hiccups! Between him and my sister (MOH) and one of my best friends, I am feeling more and more confident that our wedding will be better than we ever dreamed of! ;)  We are also getting ready to meet with photographers and see who is a perfect to shoot our engagement/wedding photos. All tips and suggestions on how to find a great wedding photographer are welcome!!

Minted Flirty Flare

Hi Loves!! For today's look, I'm styling a flirty mint flared skirt with a denim vest and a pop of neon by way of statement necklace! I know Fall is quickly approaching but I am hanging on to what's left of Summer by styling some of my favorite shorter pieces! Are you doing the same or are you already beginning the transition into Fall style?

Powder Blue + Pastels

Hi Loves!! I hope you had a wonderful weekend like I did! I've been living in shorts this summer and this look is so simple to achieve and look put together.
