Flower Child

I can’t begin to tell you how much I adore this Zara dress. I love the flirty length, the bell sleeves, and the muted color palette that makes it perfect for warm fall days. I bought it when we were in Georgetown a few weeks ago and wore it the very next day (a sure sign of a great purchase). Now that I’m home with full access to my jewelry collection, I’ve been pairing it with a long pendant similar to this.

Dress: Zara | Bag: Tory Burch (old, love this) | Sandals: Steve Madden (old, similar) | Sunglasses: Karen Walker c/o Shopbop | Rings: c/o Julie Vos (similar), Lulu Frost

D.C. Day 2

September 14, 2015 by jessica 22 Comments

My favorite thing about D.C. (aside from the history, of course), is that there’s no shortage of amazing places to take photos. This stunning building was actually an apartment complex across the street from our hotel — and looks nothing like the buildings here in Madison! We spend so much time looking for acceptable photo locations that it leaves me jealous of big city bloggers who have beauties like this in their backyards! And, on that note, have you seen Eva Chen’s Instagram account of photogenic walls in NYC? I think we need to band together to make one for every state.

Dress: Dee Elle (similar here and here) | Sunglasses: Karen Walker c/o Shopbop (similar for much cheaper) | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff c/o Shopbop (the mint version is on sale) | Sandals: Steve Madden (similar save and splurge) | Bracelets: Hermes, c/o Julie Vos (similar) | Ring: Lulu Frost

Burnt Orange

July 6, 2015 by jessica 27 Comments

Things look a little different around here today, huh? I’ve been itching for a simpler blog theme for awhile. It seemed like a good time to switch when my former theme caused a major site hiccup on Sunday. What I didn’t mess with was this sartorial combination: a loose blouse, short shorts, and a pair of flat shoes. It’s essentially the same outfit I wore last week. Some things are better left alone! (In other news, I have my second round of X-rays today. If all goes well, the boot comes off next week. Fingers crossed!)

C’mon, Get Happy

I recently had the opportunity to partner with Happiness Boutique, an online clothing and accessory store based in Berlin, Germany. The selection is a little daunting with hundreds of affordable statement gems to choose from, but it didn’t take long for me to fall in love with this pendant, which can be adjusted to be worn as a long necklace or a shorter statement piece. The necklace arrived just over a week later (not bad at all for free international shipping) and I’ve already been wearing it on repeat with my loose summer dresses. If you fall in love with anything from the boutique, be sure to take advantage of the customer reward program. It’s a point-based system that gives you the opportunity to earn free jewelry and, really, who doesn’t love free gems?
