Pretty standard way to wear the tunic is loose and flowing over skinnies & shorts or just as a stand alone cover up. This summer I've been digging the look of it tucked in with a belt (see HERE & HERE)--something about it just seems to keep with the casual feel but still feel a bit more pulled together. A little hard to depict the green elephant motif in these shots, but the prints from Pomegranate are just darling (I MAY own one of each)! Regardless how you sport the tunic, it's a summer staple and will no doubt keep you cool during these scorchers. One other quick note, these French Connection Heels are hands down the perfect neutral shoe. I was so bummed when I lost my Rafe wedges (last seen HERE)--damn it if they didn't just walk right on up out of my closet! Anyhow, I've been on a mad hunt for a replacement since, and I'm thinking I like the FCUK's better (I highly suggest sizing up a whole size--I'm typically an 8.5 and after reading reviews bought a 9.5 and they fit perfectly). Speaking of shoes, how about we announce the ShoeMint Giveaway Winner? A big congrats goes to Brooke Neville! Congrats, Brooke, and a sincere thank you to all who participated. Alright gang, make it a good one & enjoy your weekend!
Fun little pairing today with the lovely Shannon from Style With Shannon. A fellow mother of two, I was immediately drawn to Shannon's laid black glam. The gal is seriously effortless and I just adore her feminine mixes. Case in point, her drop waist dress is absolutely perfect for a night out--not to mention I have been clocking her BAG for months now! I chose to go with a daytime look and this Drop Waist Stripe Dress fits the bill perfectly. You could even toss on some heels or chucks depending on where your day takes you. Alright, gang, still time to enter the ShoeMint Giveaway, I will announce the winner Friday! Make it a good one!
Told ya I was in a dress mode right now--with this dang heat, they're my current go to! So this Smock Dress I am adoring these days (wore it THIS WAY on Sunday). Not only does it take me back to my childhood a bit with its fun & flowy shape, I'm a sucker for anything gingham, and as stated previously--it's perfectly lightweight for this scorching heat! What is in heavy rotation for you this summer? Also, make sure you head over to yesterday's ShoeMint Giveaway and enter to win a pair of ShoeMint shoes. Make it a good one!

Aside from the fact that this Frock is insanely affordable, I was immediately drawn to the fun graphic & its midi length. While I wanted to keep it more daytime with flats, I def intend to pair it with a fun Pair of Heels for an evening out. While in Florida, I went a little dress crazy and snagged several printed frocks--have you all spotted any fun printed dresses lately? I'm in a major dress mode right now and would love to hear. Alright, gang, enjoy the weekend and make it a fabulous one!
