Little White Dress for Spring

Aje Casabianca dress Aje Casabianca dress

Little white dresses are one of my go-to spring/summer uniforms.

Check out my Ultimate Summer Wardrobe Guide for more spring to summer essentials.

Each year I find a new one that I love and this puff-sleeved mini dress is so fun.  It also comes in a long version for all the maxi dress lovers out there.

When searching for a versatile LWD, I look for three things:

  1. 100% cotton – it’s so important to have breathable fabric that you can put in the washing machine.
  2. Sleeves – this elevates a LWD sooo much and offers better sun protection.
  3. Above the knee – this length is just the easiest to wear, period.  It looks great with sandals, sneakers or heels.  While I love a good maxi dress, sometimes they can be a bit cumbersome.  If you’ve ever tied a knot in the bottom of your maxi dress, you know what I’m talking about.

Fashion Friday

LoveShackFancy x TargetIt’s Fashion Friday and I’m on vacation!

This summer we’ve been taking every opportunity to get outside and do things we weren’t able to do last summer.  While I won’t have a Fashion Friday video for you on Instagram, I did want to share this perfect summer dress.

It’s LoveShackFancy for Target and it checks all the boxes for my ideal summer dress.  It’s short, 100% cotton and has 3/4 length sleeves.  I love pairing it with sneakers for a casual daytime look, and heels for a night out.

While it’s no longer available, I love these other options from the brand.  If you missed my blue version from this brand, check it out here.

Enjoy your weekend, and I’ll be back to regular programming next week!

Vacation Vibes with Farm Rio

Farm Rio dressFarm Rio dress Dress // Bag // Shoes Amelie Pichard (similar here) // Sunglasses

Sometimes you just need a dress that says, “I’m on vacation.”  This dress is that for me.

If you’re not familiar with Brazilian brand Farm Rio, get acquainted.  Inspiring happiness is part of their brand mantra and they certainly do it through their vibrant prints, pattern mixing and whimsical silhouettes.

I love that this dress is 100% cotton, has 3/4 length sleeves and is so comfortable to wear.  It absolutely checks all the boxes for my ideal summer dress.

Farm Rio also collaborates with other brands – check out their collab with Levi’s.  Below are some of my favorite Farm Rio dresses right now, many of which are on sale!

I’d say it’s a vacation state of mind.

Mini dress & Mules for Summer

Dress // Mules // Sunglasses

This dress and these mules are my favorite summer sale purchases.

I’m a big fan of LoveShackFancy dresses.  They are 100% cotton (washable), comfortable and stay cool in warm summer months.  This one comes in blue, pink, white and yellow.

Amina Muaddi is a shoe designer that has totally captured my heart.  Her playful mules come in tons of fun colors and materials and I’m coveting a pair of her boots for winter.

This would make a fabulous date night look.  I am looking forward to putting on something fancy (i.e. this) and hitting the town.
