Designer Crush: Rebecca Minkoff + #WIWT Link Up!

If you are familiar with my blog, you know I have a MAJOR crush on Rebecca Minkoff bags. If you are looking to splurge on a classic shape that you will use every day, look no further than RM! My favorites tend to be the crossbody bags as they are just the right size for all of your necessities (wallet, keys, iPhone and sunnies). I've also purchased a few of the bigger totes and use them CONSTANTLY. What I love most about Rebecca Minkoff's is while they are a bit of a splurge, my favorite crossbody's are typically under $200, which is well worth it for a quality bag you will use daily! Find your own Rebecca Minkoff bag here...I promise you won't regret it!!

This week's blogger of the week from last week's link up is Alexa of Fabes Fashion! I've had a serious crush on floral rompers since last year, and Alexa's pretty blue Yumi Kim option might be my all time favorite! She styled it to perfection with light colored accessories and pink lips! This is definitely an outfit I want to re-create ASAP! You look beautiful, Alexa!

Dressed in Stripes with Mott 50

 Dress: Mott 50 'Toni' Boatneck Dress c/o // Shoes: Dolce Vita // Hat: Mott 50 'Giselle' c/o // Bag: Rebecca Minkoff // Ring: Kendra Scott  // 

 Would you believe me if I told you this outfit was 50 UPF (ultraviolet protection factor)? Meaning I can wear this outfit out to the beach and look absolutely chic while protecting my skin from those harmful UV rays. It's the truth! Despite how adorable this outfit is, it's made with special ultraviolet protection that helps protect from the sun. Mott 50 is a fairly new company that offers "fashion-forward sun protective clothing in soft, lightweight fabrics." After wearing this dress for the past few weeks (yes, it has been on major repeat), I have become a huge Mott 50 fan! Not only is this dress comfortable, but it also has a flattering fit and can easily be transitioned into the fall with boots! I love knowing that I can wear this out in the heat of the day and my skin is also being protected from those harsh summertime rays! I'm not saying this is a good alternative to sunscreening, but rather an extra layer of protection!

One of my absolute favorite things about this dress, is it is so on trend with the stripe pattern! I am loving all striped dresses lately, from t-shirt to maxi dresses! Shop some adorable striped options here.

This little white dress is one of my favorite purchases this summer! I absolutely love the crochet detailing and the off the shoulder top!

This dress also comes in a sunny yellow and is currently on sale for under $50!

Anybody remember that feeling of finding your first day of school outfit? Back to school shopping was always my favorite time of year, and I got practically giddy as I laid out what I would be wearing that very first day back, even if it was a few weeks...or a month in advance. Being a teacher, I still get to have a "first day of school" outfit and I'm not going to lie, I LOVE it. When I tried on this Antique Garden shift dress, I had that same feeling I used to get when I was younger...this is the one! It may be a month and a half in advance, but I will definitely be wearing this sweet printed shift when the first bell of the year rings in September! 

Please tell me I'm not the only one who picks/picked out first day of school outfits so far in advance! 

Exciting news! 

Today the Nordstrom Anniversary sale OFFICIALLY begins! 

I will be having my favorite sale picks all week, but you can start shopping some of them now below!

Happy shopping!
