style + beauty blog in the dc metro area
Welcome back! One of my 2017 blogging goals was to start posting four times a week and since we’re five months into the year now, I’m diving in. Today I’m sharing one of the biggest trends you’ll be seeing this summer: the one shoulder tank.
I love a good deal and this outfit is just that! {Y’all my polka dot dress was only $1.25! I know!} Work wear often gets a reputation of being boring or stuffy. And the truth is, it doesn’t have to be. In this post, I’m sharing a work wear dress that’s easy to recreate around this polka dot dress. Don’t have a polka dot dress? Just pull out your trusty shift dress.
Hey guys! You may have noticed that I missed yesterday’s post — that post is coming at you on Saturday now. But today, I’m sharing a floral lace up top that’s just right for spring.
Y’all no lies told in this space — I’m still recovering from this weekend! Luckily, I’ve had this Derby look sitting in my drafts for a few weeks now. While traditionally women wear dressed for Derby and Oaks, today I’m sharing the cutest printed blue jumpsuit.
Friday and Saturday, I volunteered at the Authors in the Bluegrass event in Lexington. Trashy romance novels are by far my biggest “guilty” pleasure, so getting to meet some of the authors I love to read and chat with many more was an awesome experience. Keep reading for more of my latest Derby look as well as a really cool view of an empty Commonwealth Stadium.
As most of you know, I hosted an event at the Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass this past weekend with my good friend Tif of Bright on a Budget. We had a blast talking about the hottest trends for spring & our Bluegrass Unbridled finds. Today I’m sharing an event recap as well as what I wore; stay tuned for another post on Thursday about how to outlet shop like a blogger!
Just in time for Derby, the Outlet Shoppes installed five horses sculptures in four different locations of the outdoor mall. The event was kicked off by the unveiling of the Center Court horse which was painted with vibrant colors. Tif and I both made a point to coordinate with this horse and after our presentation got to go around and check out all of the sculptures. {Huge thanks to Tif and her husband, Chauncey, for all these photos; be sure to swing by her blog tomorrow morning for her event recap!} My favorite sculpture is the cute calf down below!
