Happy Tuesday, ya'll!

I.  Can't.  Quit.  The.  Magenta.  i just can't!  

I never knew I could be so obsessed with a non-neutral shade.  But, here it is again in the form of an adorably flirty stripe on this perfect White Plum Dress.  

And wearing these classic Palm Beach Sandals makes me a teensy bit sad Summer is over.  So for now I will cherish the 80 degree Fall days made for sandals & cutoffs.  (psssst  - There will be a Palm Beach GIVEAWAY on Instagram soon!  Stay Tuned!) 

I am also so in love with my most recent Rocks Box set!  A chic onyx pyramid ring & a to-die-for gold Gorjana cuff are going to be daily staples until I pack them up & trade them out for the next box-o-bling!  Do you guess what to know a SUPER exciting Rocks Box secret ??!?!?!  (duh)  

Rocks Box is introducing a fresh look with amazing new baubles on October 8th.  And to celebrate, they are gifting a shopping spree to EVERY Rocks Box subscriber.  Yes, EVERY one.  Shopping $$ will be gifted to every member in amounts of $5, $50 or $500 !

Happy Friday Eve!

I think that just as our taste buds change & update with age, so do our color preferences.  If you gave me a present when I was little, it better be purple.  Better Be.  or there would be consequences. (and tears.)  But at some point I began to despise the entire purple section of the color wheel.  I refused to even consider wearing the color.  And honestly I have no idea why.  Purples & magentas are so flattering on most people.  I suppose it's just a matter of taste. 

This magenta pleated dress from one of my favorites - White Plum - has made me fall in love with the purple family all over again!  I styled it with boots & leopard for a casual Fall look, but it would also be a great 9-5 dress for you working gals like myself.  Just add booties, throw on a blazer, or pair it with tights & pumps when the air gets chilly.

Those Fresh Cuts

Happy Tuesday, loves!

Talking about those fresh cuts today..  fresh cuts of the hair & the hemline.  

My hair is in desperate need of a chop.  Well, not really.  But I am completely OVER it.  I always know I have hit a limit with my length when I find a new way to put it up everyday. ::: enter the half bun :::  This Mulan - inspired mini bun has been popping up everywhere.  And I have been dying to pop one on the top of my head.  This kind of do is so easy for hair-challenged people such as myself.  Surprisingly the hubs didn't hate it...

I also adore the fresh (read: original) hemline of this White Plum tunic dress.  The triangle cut in the center gives a lot of visual interest to an otherwise plain tunic.  It's a little bit chic & a little bit edgy and a lotta bit sexy.  This Pink Blush chunky beaded necklace was the perfect finishing piece!

Happy Tuesday, loves!

So Summer is over.  Not technically but you can feel Fall creeping in everywhere.  The PSL is officially back, Fall fashion is within reach and NYFW is just days away.  It's pretty exciting. And the color scheme of this breezy White Plum dress is getting me even more excited for fall.  It's still over 90 degrees here so I didn't dare break out the riding boots, but I know they are going to pair effortlessly with this dress!  I also love that my newest stack of Southern Stone bangles feels very Fall.

Happy Friday, Y'all!

First of all, thank you so much for all of the birthday wishes yesterday.  All of your comments, insta-love & emails sure made this girl feel special.  

I was feeling a little bohemian today and its probably due to my love for this White Plum embroidered tunic. It's just gorgeous!  On the site you'll see it worn as a top.  I have already rocked it on-the-shoulder with a pair of cutoffs.  But I'm letting my hair and shoulders down today for more of a care-free look.  What better way to finish off a boho ensem than with a hand-made feather necklace.  Kelsey's Feathers makes beautiful necklaces, earrings and headpieces from feathers!  Perfect for playing Pocahontas.  

I hope you guys have a great weekend!  I will be playing birthday games all weekend long..

So, this outfit has nothing to do with ice cream.  But Sunday while the hubs and I were out I was craving ice cream and this White Plum blouse seemed like the perfect top to enjoy a scoop two scoops.
