Tory Burch Spring 2016 RTW

The Tory Burch show was this morning and it was perfection! I really think it was her best collection yet. Honestly, I’ve been watching her runway shows for years and this collection blew me away! Take a look for yourself...

If you’re interested in viewing the entire collection you can check it out here. 

I hope you enjoyed this little peek at Tory Burch Spring 2016.

Currently Obsessed...

Happy September! 

I know this is typically a Friday post, but there were just too many great things to share. I also want to get into the habit of posting more regularly and thought this would be the perfect way to start. 

1. Inspiring Life Lessons from Iris Apfel. I love her! 

2. My birthday. Is that egotistical? My birthday was August 16th and my family threw me a fabulous party. I mean just look at the straws! 

3. New York Fashion Week is just around the corner and I’m SO excited! I will be sharing a complete lineup of my favorite shows/ times later this week. 

4. I have been searching for the perfect fall crossbody and bag and finally gave in and ordered this Michael Kors bag. 

5. Speaking of bags, if you have an extra $17,000 dollars to spare this fabulous number is available on One Kings Lane. 

6. I’m #obsessed with this beautiful, french apartment. 

7. How To Make Browned Butter Dishes- In case you ever wondered (like me). 

8. I’m also pleased to say that my new blog design is almost complete! Summer is winding down and that was something that I really wanted to have done. So hopefully I will get everything switched over very soon! 

9. And remember...

I hope you have a fabulous Tuesday!

Sophia Loren

I've been doing a series entitled “Channel Your Inner...”. It’s been a while since I've done one of these (or any post for that matter), but I’m back today with a summer inspired post. I get a lot of my inspiration from decades past and celebrities from those years. Recently, I've been super inspired by the Amalfi Coast (think tan skin, coasting the beautiful water with a limoncello in hand) #someday. Instead of feeling depressed I choose to take inspiration from Sophia Loren and try to mimic her bombshell, Italian style. You should too! I give you, “Channel Your Inner Sophia Loren...”

I've done three other post like this one. You can can find them here, here and here. My ultimate goal is to find items or products that these women might wear or use today. Basically, classic pieces that feel oh so relevant. 

I hope you enjoy this series and also feel inspired to switch things up a bit!

My Summer To-Do List

Summer has always been my favorite season. And for as long as I can remember I’ve been making summer to-do list. I’m one of those people that is always afraid of missing out on something and making a list really helps me be accountable. I also love looking back to see what I accomplished. So I give you my summer to-do list...

Here’s to a great summer!

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday! 

I’m all for honesty and I’ve really been lacking in the blog department! I just haven’t been feeling very creative. I’ve been searching for inspiration and I’m happy to say that after a little shopping and Pinterest I feel much better! This Friday Favorites is all about the little things that I’ve been loving over the past few weeks. 

1. My Peonies! I posted an image on instagram when they first bloomed. Since they’re now gone I’ve been loving all the pictures I took! 

2. The J.Crew Summer Collection is all kinds of amazing and through Sunday you can get 30% off everything and 40% off all sale items.

3. Amika Dry Shampoo. I received it in my June Birchbox and I’m in love! I will be sharing more about it in my June Birchbox review later this month. 

4. I talk a lot about beauty products on here and I’m happy to say that I have some great products that I’m going to be reviewing soon. As much as I love trying new makeup sometimes I go back to my all time favorites like Maybelline “The Falsies” mascara. It used to be my #1 go-to and I kind of forgot how much I love it! If you’re looking for a great mascara for a really great price check it out! 

5. This quote. I really needed it. 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Three Ways To...

Today I’m starting a new mini series entitled “Three Ways To Wear”. I’m going to be featuring wardrobe staples that you (should) already own. I know it’s easy to get into the habit of wearing something the same way every time you wear it. Let’s explore our options a little, shall we? 

I’m starting out with the classic navy and white striped tee shirt. I love how it’s both nautical and Parisian! #bestofbothworlds Maybe you don’t already own a basic striped shirt, or maybe you just want to update. Either way I found the perfect shirt.  

Yep, she’s perfect. I don’t know about you, but I love me a three-quarter length, crewneck shirt (and sweater). It’s perfect for every single season and for a whole variety of events. Take a look

Weekend look- sunnies, jeans, flats  

Pattern Play- bracelet, skirt, sandals 

Work look- skirt, necklace, heels

I hope you enjoy this new series!

J.Crew- extra 30% off your order (through May 26) and if you shop In stores you can get 50% off all sale items. 

Kate Spade - take an extra 25% off sale items (use code YOURS) 

Lilly Pulitzer - with every purchase you get a present!

Parties & Recipes 

Cucumber Lime Punch -this is so easy and it looks so good!  

A fabulous dinner party and DIY Palm Leaf Balloons

Wishful Thinking

With every new season I find myself gravitating towards a certain style and very specific colors. I thought it would be fun to share my early summer wish list. None of the items are really surprising. I basically want a great nautical striped shirt and lots of pink and coral. Oh, and you also might just find a few flamingos along the way. What can I say? I know what I like! I know my wish list is also sorta random, but if you’re anything like me then maybe you also dream of floating on a large flamingo while donning Chanel lipstick. 

| bag | flamingo studs | striped shirt | scarf | nail polish | book | blush | sunnies | rings | sweater | heels | water bottle | flamingo | lipstick | 

I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at a few things I think would be perfect for summer! In other news I’m also working on a new layout for TGT. Hopefully I can have that all done in the next few weeks! 

Have a fabulous hump day! 

xoxo
