J.Crew Tilda Top

I mentioned this top in my last Wishlist Wednesday. I love it, because it's so versatile! You can dress it up or wear it more casual. Here are some ways I'd style it:

Love this business look! I paired it with a navy J.Crew suit and Michael Kors pumps. 

You can tell I love business looks. The pops of red in the J.Crew cardigan and Tory Burch flats make this fun for a casual Friday.

I just love this look with a Lilly Pulitzer skirt, a Tory Burch crossbody, and silver Jack's!

With Tory Burch flats and Longchamp, this would be so great as a transition in to fall!

The top spices up my typical summer uniform of Jack's and Lilly shorts.

Happy Saturday!

Collective Haul

I just wanted to share a few things I've bought lately!

I bought a monogrammed bathing suit! I was really excited, but it ended up being really flimsy fabric, so I added my own bathing suit pads. I got my necklace from jeweliq.com. I wrote about another one of their necklaces last fall and I can't say enough good things about them. They have super fast shipping and even send you a handwritten note. You really know they appreciate your business. I'm obsessed with Essie nail polish. I picked up the colors Watermelon, In the Cab-ana, and E-nuf is E-nuf, they're perfect for the summer! My new key chain is from J.Crew. I am obsessed and it's on sale!

Excuse this awkward dressing room selfie, I couldn't take a good picture. I bought this at a local boutique, but the brand is Coco Love

So I've wanted a peplum top for awhile, but I couldn't find one that I thought looked good on me, but I actually really liked this one from Ann Taylor! I'm planning on wearing it with neon pink shorts.

 

From Gap, I bought seersucker shorts and white linen pants. The shorts are too cute and I'm thinking about getting a monogram on them. The pants aren't something I would typically buy, but they look super cute with this bright pink tank top I have. 

I have been hunting for a pink gingham shirt for awhile and I love this one from J.Crew. I really want to monogram the pocket, but I'm really trying to restrain myself. 

What Came in the Mail Today...

I got my bubble necklace today! I have been loving bubble necklaces, but I didn't really want to order one from China and I really didn't want to wasn't going to spend $150 on J.Crew's. Trust me, I love J.Crew, but I just can't bring myself to spend $150 on a piece of costume jewelry. My limit for trendy jewelry is $25-30. I found the perfect thing at jeweliq.com. I was so impressed with their shipping. I ordered it Tuesday night and it was shipped out Wednesday morning. The packaging was absolutely adorable! The necklace, plus a pair of earrings, were in a velvet bag, and there was even a handwritten note! I can't wait to order more jewelry from them!

Last Day of Summer: Favorite Fall Outfits

As much as I hate to put up my favorite Lilly shorts and Jack's, fall is definitely one of my favorite seasons! Tennessee's falls are absolutely beautiful! Crisp mornings are always welcomed after a summer with temperatures of over 100 degrees. But my absolute favorite part of fall is the clothes. Here are a few of my favorite fall outfits:

This outfit is perfect for a rainy, fall day! I absolutely love this Kate Spade bow bracelet. I just can't decide if I want to buy the silver or gold!

The absolute perfect, preppy outfit for fall! The colors are fabulous and how cute are those Jack Rogers with the tassels? 

I love the look of "gruff" chambray with a pop of color in a polished skirt. I have the skirt in gray and it is super comfortable and the fit is amazing. And Tory flats are the perfect addition for any outfit.

I fell in LOVE with this Vineyard Vines dress. I love the look of the print and the neck tie is just perfect. Topped off with a blazer, it's the perfect polished look.

I cannot decide which Vineyard Vines dress I like more! This outfit is perfection. It incorporated my favorite things: chevron, navy blue, riding boots, Tory, and VV.
