BLACK AND WHITE STYLES

TOP: GUESS - SIMILAR STYLES HERE   //   SKIRT: F21 - MORE STYLES HERE   //   GREEN CLUTCH - SIMILAR HERE   //   BLACK WEDGES - MORE STYLES FOUND HERE

I'm so excited to be sharing this look on the blog today, definitely one of my favorites this season! The black and white look is as classic as they come, but the green accents both with my Rocksbox necklace and clutch really make the look pop. Of course, nothing would be right without a bold lip. I'd say it's a Monday morning essential, wouldn't you?

BLACK & WHITE PEPLUM + LEATHER

PEPLUM TOP: DILLARDS - SIMILAR HERE - $20   //   FAUX LEATHER JACKET: DILLARDS - SIMILAR HERE - $50  //   BLACK PANTS: c/o SPANX - SAME HERE - $118   //   PUMPS: F21 - SIMILAR HERE - $54

In honor of the imminent arrival of my Dillard's One Day Sale package, I decided to style some of my favorites from last year's sale here. In case you didn't know about the industry's biggest secret - Dillard's has an amazing one day sale on New Year's Day every year. The best stuff is in the store - but you have to get there ridiculously early, like 7 AM after New Year's Eve ridiculous. 

Since I was out of town this year, I missed the madness but was able to pick up a few pieces online and I can't wait until they arrive. What are your industry favorite sales? Any to share?

Happy Tuesday! In honor of the spectacular weather we had this weekend in Atlanta I decided to pull out this goody. These printed pants are so comfy, they feel like pajamas! I decided to cuff them to add length between the cuff and these Fresh Lily ballet flats! I've had these pretty shoes for about a year and in the rare occasion that I wear flats, they are my go-to. So comfy, and effortlessly chic.

BLACK AND WHITE BAROQUE SURPLICE DRESS

DRESS: F21 - SAME HERE - $25   //   BAG: KATE SPADE - SIMILAR HERE - $221   //   MAROON PEEP TOE HEELS - SIMILAR HERE - $99   //   
LIPSTICK: NYX IN BRUISED - SAME HERE - $6  //   EARRINGS: KENDRA SCOTT - SAME HERE - $50

How gorgeous is this black & white baroque dress? I wore this outfit to the VOW fashion show and SUJA Juice Happy Hour events earlier this week. The Vow event was put on by the team at America's Mart in Atlanta and as a bride-to-be myself, I was thrilled to have front row seat to the bridal fashion genius! Quick recap: floral lace is very in. SUJA is an organic, non-GMO, cold-pressured juice from a company in the beautiful SoCal. I was fortunate enough to try out their juices for myself last week and seriously I feel like I never tasted fresh until that day. The flavors blended together seamlessly and the variety is endless. When their team invited myself and a few other lady bloggers to their happy hour I knew I had to meet the founder during their rooftop soiree. Lucky for us, the weather in Atlanta is still beautiful and i'm enjoying the summer fashion trends before Fall inevitably makes us trade the cami for the cardigan.

CROCHET STYLE + BLACK MIDI SKIRT

Crochet Top: F21 - Similar Here - $40   //   Bag: Tory Burch York Buckle Tote - Same Here - $295   //   

Black Midi Skirt: ASOS - Same Here - $38   //   Peep Toe Pumps: F21 - Similar Here - $90

Well, it's been a while. This week was a whirlwind, but i'm back and better than ever. Even with my busy week, this high-waisted midi skirt was simple to go from day to night and is still on my radar (even months later). I have a few others en route to my closet including a pretty white linen midi. Even though this week was slammed with events this weekend plans to be even more noteworthy. With a little over a year to go, wedding planning is starting to go into full swing and the grand kickoff begins this weekend.

Any tips I should keep in mind?
