Shoes: 'Kallie Toe Ring Sandals' - Maurices

The title of this post is referring to this song ^ 'I Follow Rivers' By Lykke Li, one of my ALL TIME FAVORITES everrrr. For some reason, when I saw this dress, this is the first song that popped into my head. Maybe it's because the ethereal feel of this gauzy little maxi perfectly matches the mood of the song, or maybe I'm just crazy, but there is something quite magical about Lykke Li's voice and something almost as magical about this dress. The floaty fabric, the pretty print and the low back are everything that makes up a perfect maxi. I am only sad that summer is coming to an end so I won't be able to wear it every single day. Maybe a tropical vacation is in order this winter just so I can take this dress along? Sounds like a pretty good plan to me.

For Labor Day festivities, I paired it with simple sandals, my bauble bar tassel necklace, and the CUTEST little dainty chevron necklace from Wild Butterfly Boutique. This little gem is the perfect addition to just about any outfit, and to be honest, I haven't taken it off since I received it. You all know I love my little online boutiques, and Wild Butterfly Boutique is one of the best new jewelry boutiques around. They carry some of the cutest jewelry options from dainty rings to whimsy mustache pendant necklaces that you will be dying to add to your accessory collection.

A Very Merry Un-Birthday

 Dress: 'Perdita Floral Smock Dress' c/o Lashes of London

Necklace: Target

Shoes: 'Anne Michelle Perton-17 Ankle Strap Sandals' HERE

I've shown you my princess Jasmine look andddd my Pocahontas look, so it's only fitting that I would be inspired by a Disney character when I received this dress from Lashes of London.
As soon as I opened the package, visions of Alice and Wonderland flashed through my head. Is this not something she would totally wear to the Mad Hatter's Tea Party?
This Lashes of London dress has a vibrant floral pattern and cute, baby doll fit. I am envisioning wearing this dress in the coming months with tights and black booties, but paired it with simple heeled sandals for a warm August day. The finishing touch? A time-piece necklace that reminds me of the White Rabbit and I'm ready to fall down the rabbit hole.

Oh and by the way, happy happy UN-birthday! 

For there are 364 days of un-birthdays in a year, so why not celebrate?

A very merry un-birthday to youuuuuu!

Belt: Target

Bracelet: Brandy Melville HERE

 I don't know about you, but houndstooth reminds me of 1 thing...Sherlock Holmes. However, I highly doubt that Mr. Holmes rocked a frock quite like this one.
When I received this skirt from Choies, I automatically began imagining every possible way I could style it. You better believe this skirt is going to get an insane amount of wear from me this year. I can't wait to wear it with tights and boots and cozy jackets come fall and winter, but when styling it for a hotter August day, I took the less is more approach.
The quality of this skirt blew me away. It's well made and the fabric is rich and heavy. Pairing it with a cropped top from Brandy Melville was the perfect, breezy combo. To not distract from the gorgeous print of the skirt, I paired it with a pink skinny belt, a dainty cross bracelet, some ankle strap sandals and of course, red lips.

 It's amazing how a new hair part and red lips can give a girl a fresh perspective on life. I never thought I could rock a middle part OR red lips, but look at me, changing it up and looking like a whole new girl.
The middle part was sort of an unexpected find. I've tried styling my hair like this before, but never liked the way it looked. One day while hurriedly getting ready, I accidentally went for the middle part and surprisingly liked the way it looked. I now find myself wearing it parted down the middle more often than not. Owning it.
As for the red lips, before going on vacation in March, I bought a Covergirl jumbo gloss balm in Ruby Twist(245), as a way to ease in to the red. I liked that it wasn't super bright and was more of a gloss than a lipstick, which allows me to ease into the next step of full on bright red lips.
As for my outfit, this has definitely been my go to lately. The weather has been a little cooler, but humid, so I have been dressing in layered outfits that allow me to transition with the weather. I can already tell that this little sweater from chicnova is going to be a key player in my closet in the coming months. It's super light weight and comfortable and is the perfect summer to fall piece. I've already worn it a million different ways, and love how versatile it is (it looks especially adorable over a dress!). With my favorite free people tunic, some ripped jeans and my go to boots, I felt very fall-esque. Hold up though....that doesn't mean I'm ready for fall justttttt yet. You better believe this girl is going to be milking her summer wardrobe for as long as humanly possible!
