The Pink Floral

pants (Library by Lauren Lail c/o), sweater (J.Crew Similar ON SALE 25% OFF WITH CODE SPRINGSALE), sneaks (Converse), bag (Clare Vivier c/o Omar + Elsie), watch (Cartier), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), cuff (Similar), necklace (Page Sargisson c/o)

To say that these Floral Pants from Lauren Lail are comfy beyond measure would be a major understatement---not to mention the fact that they're so dang cute!  Seriously, they are the perfect foundation for a Casual Sweater or could just as easily be dressed up with A Silky Blouse, Cage Heels, and a Gold Cuff.  Think I'm going to sport these bad boys to church this morning!  On that note, I've gotta dip so I can get the troops ready...y'all have a lovely Sunday--make it a great one!

A Tale of Two Bikes

pants (Kate Spade, AJ's Casuals), blouse (Library by Lauren Lail c/o, also love THIS CREAM TOP & THIS CREAM PEPLUM), shoes (Isola ON SALE c/o), bag (Vintage, Street Scene, Lexington), shades ( Gucci ), cuff (Similar), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck)

While this look as zero to do with bicycles, Kristin and I kinda loved them for the backdrop of these Kate Spade Pants (not to mention they were parked right outside of our fave lunch joint, Doodles, where we shortly thereafter devoured sammies and such).  Based on this POST, there's no denying my current love of the palm frond---it simply screams summer and is such a fresh print--I have no doubts I'll own several palm pieces by the season's end.  
Got a boatload to get to today so I must cut the post a tad short--feel free to shop the look below (tossed in a few extras of this print)!  Y'all have a great weekend & def make it a good one!

Short & Sweet

dress (Library by Lauren Lail c/o), heels (Kate Spade ON SALE), necklace (Sole Society c/o), bracelet (J.Crew), watch (Michael Kors), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck)

How sweet is this little number from Library by Lauren Lail?  A little shorter than I tend to gravitate towards, it's soft palette, silky fabric, and peter pan collar sweeten the deal and add a boatload of femininity--therefore, making the length secondary for me.  I'm also looking forward to pairing her with some black opaque tights and chunky heels once it cools down for a little dose of soft & edgy.  

My youngest starts back to school today so I have to scoot---cheers to a fantastic Wednesday, gang--Make it a good one!   

Oh and PS--a huge congrats goes to Alicia Cadigan.  You my dear are the winner of the Elaine Turner Giveaway!  A sincere thank you to all who participated---we've got some good giveaways coming up so stay tuned!

Relatively Simple

 

top (Library by Lauren Lail c/o), jeans (DL1961), shoes (Sam Edelman other shades HERE & HERE), clutch (Zara), cuff (unknown), bracelets (Stella & Dot on Sale & Linea Pelle), watch (Cartier), shades (Ray Ban)

Sometimes I gravitate towards a very clean & simple look with just one little bit of Flash.  I wore this number to a casual night out to dinner with a girlfriend and felt extremely comfy and yet pulled together, too! I'm also loving the idea of pairing this look with lovely embellished Flats.  

In unrelated news, I'm super excited to have Meghann from Adele coming over this afternoon to help me remix my casa and add a few new pieces.  Interestingly enough, putting together a look is second nature for me; however, maximizing my space and blending interiors ain't my forte.  I know what I like, can pick it out easily, it's the placement I struggle with---Meghann to the rescue!

Wishing you all a lovely weekend--make it a good one!

Pattern Play

shorts (Library by Lauren Lail c/o), tshirt & belt (J.Crew), crossbody (Rebecca Minkoff), flats (DVF), watch (Cartier), bracelets (J.Crew & Linea Pelle), ring (Anna Beck & Lagos), shades (Ray Ban)

Even if she wasn't a native Kentuckian (and Wildcat), I'd still adore the modern vintage feel of Library by Lauren Lail.  With a stunning collection of vintage finds (see HERE), luckily for us, Lauren has taken that love of vintage a step further and created her own Line of modern pieces complemented with a unique vintage feel.  Make sure you check it--I've got a few other pieces from Library that are currently in heavy rotation--very sweet and special pieces all the way around!  Alright gang, make it a good one..I've got a sick bunny I've got to run to the doc so I've gotta dip!  Cheers to a wonderful Wednesday!

Summer Layers

pants (Gap ON SALE), sweater & blouse (J.Crew on SALE), belt (J.Crew), shoes (Via Spiga), bracelets (Adele), watch (Cartier), necklace (Maya Brenner), bag (Michael Kors), ring (Anna Beck), shades (Gucci)

Pretty obvious I'm not afraid of a little color.  The warmer months are a perfect time to play with various shades--These Skimmers are a great place to start when creating a colorful look (they're super comfy, too).  A Lightweight Popover and a linen sweater aren't heavy and make for comfy layering pieces as well.  

I'm headed to Florida this evening with my gals and this whole look is already in the ole' suitcase ready to go.  I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to get back home to my family. Myself, my brother, sister, sis-in-law, niece & nephew are taking my gals to Disney then we will finish off the trip in Jupiter with my parents.  No better combo than family & beach!!

One last little tidbit, Adele of Lexington is hosting a Lauren Lail trunkshow tomorrow & Sat.  Not sure if you caught a glimpse of this Instagram spouting my love for my Lauren Lail shorts, but this Lexington native is serving it up with some darling pieces with a lovely vintage flair.  Make sure to swing by the trunk show tomorrow and Sat--Adele baubles will be on sale, too--check out the invite below!  Alright gang, make it a good one!
