Happy Hump Day!

I feel like I just said that.  The days are just flying by which means Summer is slipping away...  And today I am slipping around in this gorgeous tropical slip dress from Avenle.  I just love the lingerie reference & fresh floral print.  The lace trim is such a sweet detail and the open back makes this a sexy summer dress.  Avenle carries some of the most unique & feminine vintage-inspired pieces!  I already have a mint peplum and a white lace dress on my wishlist!

I'm in love, I'm in love, and I don't care who knows it!

This tunic dress from White Plum has me falling in love (and it's almost half-off right now!).  The lightweight material, shorter cut, vibrant red shade & gorgeous embroidery make it the perfect Summer dress.  I seriously have to stop myself from wearing it every weekend.  I love that the hemline allows for a variety of shoe options....because a girl has to have her options... last weekend I wore this for date night with a pair of brown wedges & today I decided to dig out the gladiators for a fun look.

Moral of the post:  White Plum is having a crazy good Summer Sale right now!

Just another manic Monday...

Monday always comes too soon and always finds me running late.  Which is exactly why this new graphic tee from Written could not be more perfect.  Southern Mess = me to a T.  But at least I'm well dress, right?!  If you only buy one graphic tee this Summer, I would highly recommend the Written line.  The fabric is super soft, they have a relaxed fit for easy chic styling, and the fonts just perfection.  I seriously want everyone in the collection.  I kept this look simple with a monochromatic Summer style & the new sandals I can't get enough of.  

Make sure to catch up on my weekend shenanigans via Instagram ... including the best pizza in Eastern NC.  Seriously, if you are in Beaufort anytime this Summer/year, you have to try the seafood pizza @ Queen Anne's Revenge on the waterfront.  AHHmazing!

Summer Skin Essentials

Enza Vitamin C Serum c/o | Enza Glycolic Serum c/o

USE CODE SUMMERMODA FOR 25% OFF UNTIL 07/31 !!

Happy Saturday, friends!

I wanted to tell you about a new skincare duo I have been using (and loving) for the past few weeks.  Summer months are so rough on my skin and Enza has just the answer to my oily skin woes.  The Vitamin C Serum helps create balance by improving tone & texture and by hydrating dry areas without making your skin feel oily.  It also brightens skin and promotes anti-aging.  Can I just tell you how AHHmazing this stuff smells??!??  It literally smells like refreshing fresh-squeezed oj on your skin.  I use it in the morning as part of my face-washing routine and it's such a refreshing smell to start the day!  

I incorporated the Glycolic Serum into my night-time routine and have already noticed a more even skin tone.  The glycolic serum gently exfoliates to take away pollutants and dry skin and helps to soften, hydrate & nourish exhausted skin.  I feel like using it at night gives it time to "do work" on my skin overnight so I wake up with a fresh face.  

What's the best part about this duo??!  Right now they are each 40% off with the sale price and the Moda & the Mar discount code!  Just use SUMMERMODA for 25% off until 07/31!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

I feel like I have been waiting all week to say it's Friday and before I know it my alarm clock will be buzzing for the ump-teenth time Monday morning....  I'm a chronic snooze-button abuser.  Sue me.  

So, have you guys heard of 9th & Elm ?  Apparently I have been living under a rock and just discovered the website.  They feature fantastic fashion deals from the best handmade and independent designers.  All of these amazing finds & steals are neatly organized on a website for you to shop.  The vibrant hue of this royal blue maxi dress immediately caught my eye... and the price tag sold me!  It is seriously the softest & comfiest maxi I have ever owned.  It is just perfect for salty summer nights or a day of shopping with besties.  I also scooped up this edgy gold-dipped shark tooth necklace from the website.  It's a great piece for layering and makes me feel a little edgier.  Plus, it's the perfect charm for a girl living & blogging by the sea.  

I hope you all have an amazing weekend!
