Last Friday night, my husband and I attended his annual office holiday party at a local hotel/conference center type of venue. The dress code always says business casual (no jeans), but you see a little bit of everything, and I always take the opportunity to get dolled up. This is what I wore this year.

Hello and welcome back to 25 Days of Summer Fashion! Today is Day 2, and I have a the perfect all-occasion summer dress that is on point for pretty much any summer event you can conjure up — well, except for maybe a cocktail party or black tie wedding, but you get the point. This...

One of the big shoe trends this season is white pumps. I suppose they’ve been trending for a few seasons now, but I’m starting to see them more as a classic closet staple than a passing trend. Isn’t it funny how fashions go? For a while there, white pumps looked totally outdated to me, and now suddenly they...

Good morning, friends! We’ve almost made it through the week! I’ve been asked for outfit ideas for weddings, graduations, and other spring events, so today I’m styling a gorgeous seamed sheath that I think would be perfect for many of these types of occasions. The minute I laid eyes on this dress, I knew it was...

Hello and happy Tuesday! I’m feeling a bit more like myself this morning. Re-entry is tough, yo! I have an early workout appointment, and then I’m excited to have the whole day to work and try to get ahead on posts for our 27 Days of Spring Fashion, which starts TOMORROW! I feel like I...

Good morning! Happy Wednesday! I decided it’s time to tackle an Instagram Roundup. I usually try to do these once a week, but it has been a month since my last one so I have a ton of looks to share with you. I’m going to assume you hang on my every word and never miss...

Good morning and happy Friyay! This is my second dress post this week. I hardly know who I am anymore!! I saw another blogger style this cold shoulder dress with leopard heels a few weeks ago and I was instantly in love. It will be perfect for winter parties and events I have coming up. I haven’t really...

I get a lot of emails about what to wear to specific events, and one I often get is about what to wear to a wedding. When I came across this Eliza J Embellished Cutout Taffeta Sheath Dress on the Nordstrom website, I immediately thought, FALL WEDDING! I don’t have a wedding to attend, but I wish...

Instead of an Instagram roundup this morning, I thought I’d share some of the dressing room pictures I took during my Nordstrom shopping spree. For all of my #Nsale recommendations, see my Guide to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. (Why did no one tell me my Handbag picks and the Coats & Jackets weren’t showing!?! I...

Well, friends. Yesterday was a rough one, wasn’t it? I was horrified and sickened to hear the news coming out of Orlando when I got out of church yesterday. I feel like this is becoming our new normal, and it’s frightening and sad. I always feel awkward writing about fashion and other frivolous topics immediately...

Comfortable dress sandals are a summer wardrobe essential, but so many have super high heels or they’re strappy and are hard to walk in. Not so with these B.P. Luminate Open Toe Dress Sandals from Nordstrom. These are comfortable and affordable and oh-so-cute. This style of shoe is very popular right now, and I love it because it’s ladylike and...
