Website Review...





What I'm wearing...striped ruffle top: Shein.com, black crop pants: Jennifer Lopez (similar), gray heels: Charlotte Russe (similar), cross body bag: Michael Kors, watch: Michele

Adds for this website, shein.com, kept popping up in my Facebook feed and the clothes all looked super cute at a very reasonable price. I was nervous to order from an online Chinese company like this, because in the past when I ordered from other sites, the clothes end up looking nothing like the picture. After doing some research and watching some reviews on You Tube, I decided to give it a try! I ordered six tops and they arrived super fast in only 8 days and I was really impressed with the quality! I wore this top to my friend's baby shower over the weekend and I got so many compliments! I would definitely give this site two thumbs up! There will be more tops to come so stay tuned!

Top Knots & Shoulders...





What I'm wearing...off the shoulder top: Nordstrom (similar), distressed denim: Target (similar), nude heels: Christian Louboutin (similar), white clutch: Forever 21 (similar) 

Off the shoulder tops and dresses are really on trend for spring. An up-do, like this top knot bun, can be another great way to really show off your shoulders and collar bone! I've got some really exciting things coming up this week so stay tuned!

Peplum & Pearls...





What I'm wearing...striped peplum top: Target, distressed denim: Target (similar), nude bow heels: Steven by Steve Madden (old) , white clutch: Forever 21 (similar), long pearl necklace: Nordstrom (similar) 

These blousy feminine tops are everywhere for spring and we are seeing a lot of peplum, off the shoulder, and ruffled sleeve details. I paired this top with a long strand of pearls and some ladylike heels. So in order to balance out all that pretty and to keep things casual, I mixed it all with a pair of super distressed denim!

Tailored Layers...





What I'm wearing... zipper ankle denim: H&M (similar), striped long sleeve tee: Target, sweater: Land's End (similar), heels: Charlotte Russe, bag: Lotus Boutique (similar), watch: Movado

Layering a patterned button down or long sleeve tee under a sweater is a great way to add warmth and a little interest to an otherwise basic look. Even just the smallest pop of color or pattern can really elevate an outfit, making it look more tailored and polished.

Wrap Up...





What I'm wearing: striped wrap dress: Cupshe, ankle strap heels: Charlotte Russe (similar), black clutch: Nine West (similar)

How sexy is this little striped wrap dress?! It's absolutely perfect for a little Friday night date night! I'm convinced that every body type looks great in a wrap dress. The only thing better than how cute I feel in this dress, is the price!

Casual Vibes...




What I'm wearing...dress: Kohl's, ankle tie sandals: Forever 21 (no longer available), shoulder bag: Forever 21 (similar), bow cuff bracelet: Jewel Mint (no longer available)

With the recent heat wave we've been having here in CT, light weight summer dresses like this have been my day time go to! There's no thought involved in the morning, you just throw it on and go. Plus it keeps me nice and cool while I'm out and about all day running errands with the kids. Kohl's had a great selection of these casual day time dresses, so it's not a bad idea to stock up!

Nautical Vibes...





What I'm wearing...dress: Monteau (similar), strappy heels: Charlotte Russe (similar), shoulder bag: Forever 21 (similar), tassel necklace: Burlington Coat Factory (similar), bow bracelet: Jewel Mint (similar)

I scored this dress recently from my local TJ Maxx store and I'm loving the classic nautical vibe it gives off. I wasn't able to find the exact same dress online, but I linked one that is very similar! This dress is so comfortable and you can definitely dress it up or down. This type of dress gets me really excited that summer is right around the corner!

What I'm wearing...moto jeggings: Target (similar), striped long sleeve tee: Marshall's (similar), blazer: H&M , navy heels: Target (similar), white clutch: Forever 21 (similar), necklace: Topshop, earrings: Nine West (similar)

I know I've said it before, but I'll say it again. The basic combination of a skinny jean, a heel and a blazer is a classic uniform of mine that works every time!

Sling Back...





What I'm wearing...skinny jeans: Elle (similar), striped tee: Kohl's (similar), long cardigan sweater: Target (similar), knotted sling back heels: Charlotte Russe, black bag: Lotus Boutique (similar)

How pretty are these new black sling back heels from Charlotte Russe?! I feel like they add a lady like touch to this otherwise casual outfit. A long line cardigan like this is another great cozy layering piece for this cold time of year!

Light Layers...





What I'm wearing...striped tee: Forever 21 (similar), denim: Target, over the knee boots: Anne Michelle (similar) , cardigan sweater: Marshall's (similar) , cross body bag: Lotus Boutique (similar), watch: Movado

Since our weather here in CT can fluctuate up to 30 degrees up or down from day to day this time of year, having a variety of light layers is a must! A short sleeve cardigan like this can be mixed and matched with just about anything and it adds the perfect amount of warmth for these slightly warmer fall days.

Light Layers...





What I'm wearing...moto jeggings: Target (similar), striped tee: Kohl's, tan blazer: Target (similar), tan heeled sandals: Charlotte Russe (similar), black clutch: Steve Madden (similar), gold watch: Anne Klein (similar)

It's officially September 1st which means that cool fall weather is right around the corner! It's time to start pulling out those lighter layers that will carry us through into the cooler weather. Blazers are the perfect fall transition piece because they add just the right amount of coverage while making any outfit look super polished and sleek!
