Well, I can finally see daylight again. As you may know, by day, I work for March Madness Live and during the tournament my schedule gets a bit hectic to say the least. Now that the first and second round are over we have a bit of a break and i'm happy to get caught up. I've gotten so many questions about this lip color and it was actually a sample that Sephora sent me with my last order - Stila Lip Stain in Beso. I'm in love with the formula and can't wait to try other colors like Carina and Patina! What new brands have you tried recently?

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day / Galentine's Day / SAD / Ice Cream + Rom Com day / Regular Saturday - Whatever you celebrated, I hope it was great. I felt especially productive this weekend because I think that we finalized our Save The Dates! It's something that I have been meaning to do but i'm so indecisive that it's taken months. However - we made some progress this weekend and I think that I might have designed - the one.  Can't wait to share it with you guys soon! 

I've been contemplating sharing the wedding planning experience on my blog. I know I found it super helpful when Lauren Conrad shared tidbits on her blog last year (because I follow it religiously) would you guys be interested in reading about my journey to the alter?

BLUE CHECKERED SHIFT DRESS: The Recipe For a Simply Stylish Outfit

DRESS: F21 - SIMILAR HERE - $29   //    FLAP CROSSBODY • c/o VERA BRADLEY • $78   //   

GUESS HEELS - SIMILAR HERE - $150   //   BRACELETS - VERA BRADLEY in IN THE MIX & WRAPPED LINKS - SAME HERE & HERE- $42   //   NECKLACE: AMERICA'S MART

I fished this dress out from the back of my closet and was really excited to find the way it fit. This fall, i'm really being drawn to navy as the base of my wardrobe. Adding elements of bold colors really helps make my outfit more vibrant, and this pink crossbody is no exception. The mint statement necklace matches the gold hardware of the open toe sandals for a classic finish. 

It's so simple to add dimension to your basic outfits. I like to choose a bold color scheme first and then find elements to compliment my outfit using that color scheme in mind. If the dress is navy, a hot pink hue can be in the form of a purse, scarf, belt, heel, or jewelry. The possibilities are endless, give it a shot sometime!

BLUSHING: Pleated Swing Dress

DRESS: CHICWISH - SAME HERE - $60  //  HEELS: GUESS - SAME HERE - $40  //  MINT KATE SPADE TOTE - SIMILAR HERE - $500  //  NECKLACE: eBAY - SAME HERE - $4

I absolutely adore this dress and was so excited to wear it for the very first time at the Southern Blogger Society Conference last weekend in Atlanta. Chicwish has the cutest pieces that are so unique. The prints and designs aren't what you normally find in stores and that is my favorite part. If you are patient (shipping takes a few weeks!) Then you would love this online boutique + this customer service is fabulous! 

Tomorrow I will recap my entire Southern Blogger Society Conference CoffeeTalk experience on the blog, so be sure to come back and check it out!
