olive green dress
There are some combinations in the fashion world that are just magical. And in my opinion, olive green + denim + leopard is one of those combinations. This olive green dress is not only adorable on its own (and 40% off right now!) but it's also the perfect layering dress. It's perfect with a denim jacket, or a leopard-print scarf would also be adorable.I wore it recently on a (still) hot summer night in Dallas, but this will be making several appearances in cooler months as well (but probably paired with booties!)As wonderful as this olive green dress is, the real star of the show here is this leopard foldover clutch. It's not only great just because it's beautiful to look at, but since I got it maybe 2 weeks ago, I've worn it with at least 10 outfits. I wore it to a wedding, wore it with distressed jeans, dressed it up, dressed it down...it really is perfect! The quality is amazing so I know it will last me years to come, and the colors are the perfect neutral combination so you can pair it with anything and everything.

I'm leaving for Cancun this Saturday for a girls trip and can HARDLY wait! In honor of this upcoming beach getaway, I've rounded up 8 adorable dresses & rompers (all under $100) that are perfect for summer vacations! I also gave you the shoes to go with it :). I love all these sandals because they are so versatile - could easily be worn with maxi dresses, cut offs, rompers...you name it.

maxis || a girl's best friend
In case you haven't noticed, we have been in a total (what I like to call) "maxi moment" for quite some time now. I'll be honest, maxi dresses/skirts are a total weakness of mine, because they are perfect for any occasion -- date nights, traveling, rehearsal dinners, a walk to the park on a Fall day...Here are a few ways Lo & I have been wearing some of our favorite maxi dresses!
Lo went on vacation to Mexico this past week and wore this great tank maxi dress on the golf course with her twin sister. The beauty of maxi dresses is that they allow you to be trendy, girly, and comfortable at the same time.
I sported my favorite maxi skirt (from milk & honey boutique. see similar one here) on a date night with my husband a few weeks ago. Pair any maxi skirt (especially a floral one) with a denim top (like the one I'm wearing here!), and you've got a great boho look for Fall. 
Speaking of versatility...I wore one of my favorite maxi dresses just 6 short weeks ago when we went to pick out our puppy! Maxis allow for so much movement without worrying about exposing too much or being uncomfortable.

The smell of fresh brewed coffee, pancakes, an email announcing a SHOPBOP "drop everything" sale -- a few of my favorite ways to be woken up! Amazing deals + free shipping + free returns make this sale pretty hard to resist. Check out our top 5 picks from this sale![show_ms_widget id="4629720" image_id="4796140" width="665" height="863"]All of these items are great "buy now, wear now" pieces. At least for us Texans, the summer weather will last well into late September. These pieces are great staples that will get you through this last stretch of summer but transition great into the fall weather as well!1. This classic jean jacket is a staple for any wardrobe - throw it over any maxi dress, or pair it with skinnies & a loose tank and you're set. This is an item you can wear during any season, and at 50% off, now is the time to invest in a good one!2. Confession: maxi dresses are my weakness in life. You can never have too many. I'm obsessed with this Flynn Skye maxi dress. The bali print is so on point with tribal print trend for Fall, and the cutouts give the dress such a fun and feminine flare! {Also comes in this great Cayenne color}. Throw the above denim jacket over your maxi and wear it into the fall months as you head to Starbucks for your pumpkin spice latte.3. A good sweatshirt - yet another item you can never have too many of. I love this super soft cropped sweatshirt - great for lounging around the house, or pair it with a high waisted maxi skirt and you're set for your next lunch date.4. Suede booties - they were a huge hit last fall and we'll only be seeing more of them this coming season! These fringe booties by Sam Edelman are amazing - their low heel make them perfect for walking around town and they'd be great paired with a tribal print maxi dress or our next item on the list - boyfriend jeans!5. Lo is particularly fond of these Pajama jeans by Rag & Bone {see her previous post about them here!}. Another great piece that you can wear through any season, and also the perfect pant for traveling!Hope you enjoy this sale as much as we have!
