Navy Maxi

Golden Tote Navy Maxi Dress

Happy Friday Eve babes! The weekend is almost here!! Yes, yes, my maxi obsession continues! This maxi is one of the items I received in my Golden Tote as a surprise, or what the stylist picked out for me based on my style quiz.  If you all missed my first post about Golden Tote you can check it out here. To be honest, I was little ehhhh about this dress when I first pulled it out of the bag since it is a little plain for my liking, but as I tried it on I really fell in love with the simplicity and not to mention it fit like glove! The lace around the waist is super flattering and I love that it is a blank slate for accessorizing! Today I accessorized with all gold with this amazing Joyiia choker lariat necklace and chain ring. If you haven’t heard of Joyiaa jewelry I definitely recommend you check them out! All of their pieces are super unique with a bit of bohemian flare, which you know I love! I finished this look off with a gold armband and gladiator sandals. I hope you all have an amazing Thursday! <3

Happy Wednesday loves! So now that the warm weather has hit, I cannot get maxi dresses out of my mind! Every time I shop I am drawn to them every time, so much that I had to tell myself that I am maxi dress cut off for awhile! I mean does one girl really need 20 maxi dresses in her closet? Well maybe.. Anyways, to help me with my cleanse I thought I would do a collage of a few I have been lusting over!I am always a sucker for florals and funky prints, but the classic blush and lace one is way too cute! Oh and if you add a fun open back, you might as well forget about it! I hope you all have a fabulous Wednesday! <3

Boho Leather

orlando, florida fashion blogger styles american eagle boho maxi dress with dolce vita fringe booties and h&m leather jacket for a casual fall outfit
Happy Tuesday loves! As much as I love me some Fall/Winter attire, I try not to go over board with buying it because lets face it, Florida only gets really cold for about a few weeks! Instead, I try to take advantage of the end of Summer sales and convert Summer items into Fall/Winter items. Take this amazing maxi for instance, I scored it for about $20 on sale for American Eagle at the end of Summer but I thought the print could transition easily into Fall but, then still have an amazing maxi once Summer comes around again! Also, how amazing is the print?! To give this maxi more of a Fall feel, I paired it with a black moto jacket and some peep toe fringe booties. I added some girly to this edgy look by throwing on a fun crystal statement necklace. I hope everyone is having a great start to their week and don’t forget to enter the $400 Nordstrom giveaway! <3

Crochet Crop & Maxi

Happy Wednesday and happy October! So as much as I want it to feel like Fall, Florida is still in Summer mode! So until Fall says hello I will still be pulling out the crop tops! ;) I wore this look on Sunday while we went down to a local art show. The crochet top kept me nice and cool (and trust me I needed it! It felt like a billion degrees and the humidity was awful, hence the nasty hair) but the art was amazing so it made up for it! I paired the top with a flowy maxi. I just love the dark colors of this skirt! I can’t wait to bring it into Fall and Winter with some booties and an oversized sweater! I accessorized with a fringe bag and a gemstone necklace I got in NOLA, which I absolutely love! I hope everyone has a great Wednesday and today is the last day to enter the $500 Neiman Marcus giveaway so don’t forget to enter! <3

Happy Friday Eve loves! You have no idea how happy I am that florals are transitioning into Fall this year! I love a great dark floral and this long sleeved maxi from Oasap is no exception! I just have a thing for long sleeved dresses and I have been stocking up for Fall and Winter! I paired this dress with a black hat, of course, to really bring this look into Fall! I threw on some gladiators to still keep it cool and added a large black bag to polish the look. I hope everyone has a great Thursday and don’t forget there is less than a week left to enter the $500 Neiman Marcus giveaway! <3

Happy Wednesday! So today I have my anniversary dinner look (early anniversary ;)). We went to dinner in the restaurant in out hotel called the Crystal Room and it was amazing!

Guest Post

Happy Monday! So today I am super excited (even though it’s Monday, boo!) because I am guest posting for one of my blogger babes, Darcy of A Memory of Us! I’ll be taking over her blog for the day with my daily look while she’s having a blast in Chicago! So jump on over to Darcy’s blog and show me some love! Here’s a sneak peak! ;)

Leather & Chiffon

Hope everyone is having a great start to their week! So the weather here in Florida has seriously been perfect the past few days! Warm with a light breeze, a perfect day for a maxi! I snagged this gorgeous Gianni Bini maxi on mega sale (what do you know?!) from Dillards. They have been killing it with the sales lately! If you have a Dillards by you definitely check it out! This dress was 65% off with an additional 30%, like really?! Can’t get much better than that! Anyways, I absolutely love this dress! The faux leather top looks perfect with the softness of the cream chiffon skirt. This also makes it the perfect Spring transition dress. I threw on a cropped jean jacket to give the option for more of a cooler day, but had to take it off later for one, it was quite toasty and two, I wanted to show how gorgeous the dress was by itself. I kept the accessories simple, with a brass necklace and bracelets. To finish this look, I threw on a chunky heeled sandal. <3

Fall Maxi

I love converting summer pieces into fall pieces. I wore this beautiful deep red maxi skirt with a crop top in the summer and thought, with these color, throwing on a sweater with it would make it a perfect fall look! I have been trying to do this a lot lately, because living in Florida the cold doesn’t last long and I don’t want to overload my closest (and spend a lot of money on) fall/winter pieces. I absolutely love these booties! I am drawn to anything with a funky detail, and the print on these give this solid outfit a little bit of fun. I hope everyone is having a great start to their weekend! <3

Breezy Chiffon

Happy Monday! Being in Florida, our Fall weather never wants to make up it’s mind! It will be cool one day (that is in the low 70’s for us Floridians) and scorching the next. This black, pleated, chiffon maxi skirt was nice and cool for a warm, breezy day. I paired it with light pink cropped button down and tied it in the front. I have been wearing a lot of crop top high waisted combos lately! Any way you do it, maxi skirt, pencil skirt, skater skirt, it just looks instantly chic! <3
