Why a Romper Should be your Summer Go-To

First of all, it's pretty obvious that my love affair with shorts has been all over the place this year (ahem, here and here and here) so it should come as no surprise that rompers (a dress + shorts) are just as high up on my list of "totally love". I actually bought this romper over the winter and kind of forgot about it until this week. When I first tried it on, I didn't love it but I kept it hanging in the back of my closet... and boy am I glad I did. Throwing it on over a colorful bandeau top was a simple way to stay cool and comfortable in this heat.

The only mistake I made was wearing this to travel. No one likes to remind you that when you wear a romper, running to the bathroom is never quick. Oops. I guess I learned my lesson!

Color block Shorts

Okay, I'll admit-- color block shorts have never really been my thing... until now. I have seen them here and there and always looked over them as "not really my style," but when Hot Kiss sent me this pair over the weekend, I was thrilled to try out this trend... and guess what? I love it. For some reason, I feel like this pair of shorts makes me look super tan and I love how each leg looks different. Weird, right? Definitely not something I've tried before but now I want lots and lots of pairs of shorts like this. Plus, these bad boys are super comfy and I wore them all day, even in our record setting heat. If you're looking to try out this trend at a great price, I highly suggest testing out these shorts.

What a weekend! I had quite an action-packed weekend and it looks like this week is going to be nothing short of busy either. Friday night started off with a reunion over dinner with some of my sorority sisters who were in town. It was so fun catching up over some beers and delicious food. We ended up making our way downtown over the course of the evening, only to run into more friends that were visiting. Nothing beats catching up with old amigas! 

Saturday was spent helping my mom update her wardrobe before running off to a friend's graduation party wearing this dress. We sipped on sangria while watching the Belmont Stakes and then I was off to my dad's to celebrate his birthday. (Today is his actual birthday, Happy Birthday Dad!) We had a great dinner, minus the rain, and spent the evening chatting outside and catching up. I finished off the night with some fancy cocktails with friends at a new bar near my house. 

Sunday was my favorite day of the weekend because my BFF from high school was in town and we went to breakfast. It's been years (okay two) since we last saw each other and it was so much fun to see her. I then spent the day running errands with another great friend before winding up at the pool. After spending the day with some of my favorites, I was then talked into buying a flight and heading to my sorority convention in Las Vegas in just a few days. I seriously cannot wait to see everybody when I arrive. This now makes four trips in the month of June. Yay!

Hope your weekend was just as fabulous!

All Over Overalls

I'm not gonna lie, I am thrilled about the overall trend these days and have been dying to pull out a pair. I found these gems hanging in the back of my moms closet a few weeks ago and decided they would be a perfect way to test out the trend before buying a new pair. I forgot how comfortable these bad boys are and now I am dying to pick up a pair of my own. I know a lot of people have been hating on overalls but I think that if they are dressed up the right way, they can be really cute.

What do you think? Are you all over overalls?

Hot Hot Pink

Dress: Amanda Uprichard very similar here  Shoes: Sam Edelman  Necklace: Elaine B. Jewelry similar here  Sunglasses: Ray-Ban

The last time I wore this dress the weather was not nearly as warm as it has been the past few days. I originally bought it with visions of boozy brunches and summer coffee dates in mind but couldn't wait for the weather to heat up before pulling it out of my closet. Until now.

I threw this dress on for a casual date look earlier this week and love how these sandals really dressed down this silk dress. I wasn't sure if it would be too dressy of an outfit but I really like the way everything came together in such a simple way. And I plan on wearing this dress a loooot more this summer. It is so light and comfy and perfect for these 90+ degree days we have been having.

Tights Free is the Way to Be

I'm not sure if it's the few days of nice weather or the fact that things have been extremely crazy (in every aspect of my life) but I have been turning to dresses almost every day this week. While I am more of a skirt + shirt kind of girl, the ease of a dress has made getting ready for work this week a breeze. Not to mention, the fact that I am wearing these dresses sans tights is making me one happy camper.

Also I'm pretty excited to be featured on Three-fer Thursday today!
