The Apple




sweater (Old Navy--LOVE THIS, THIS, & THIS), chambray (J.Crew), shorts & belt (J.Crew old), heels (French Connection), bag (Kate Spade sold out--tons for sale on EBAY), bracelets (Target, Stella & DotLinea Pelle), ring (Lagos, Anna Beck), watch (Michael Kors), shades(Gucci)
Off to the city tomorrow to celebrate my best gal's baby-to-be with my other best gal in tow and I couldn't be more excited!  So here's the question--what in the sam hell am I gonna pack?  Ok, for starters, I'm going to keep it pretty minimal with an interchangeable palette and I am NOT going to check a bag!  So for this getaway, I'm going to bring a few key pieces for daytime--a Chambray, a cozy sweater for the chillier mornings, some Shorts for strolling, a fun shopper Tote, and these guys....essentially, I'm bringing this exact rig above!  But let us not forget the one key element aside from a good DreamDry blowout & mani/pedi that will be the icing to my outfit cake---a TAN!!  Because everything in my book looks better with a tan am I right?  
Luckily for us, Sun Tan City has a different deal everyday throughout the month of August.  Consider it a Weekday Getaway if you will.  I took advantage of the VeraSpa sunless tan and I think she turned out pretty darn good (see above stems for reference).  Make sure to visit a Sun Tan City to get your glow on and take advantage of the different Weekday Getaway Deals!  Alright gang, make it a good one and follow along my NYC excursion on InstaGram--see you tomorrow Snook & Jenn!

Make Every Day a Getaway at Sun Tan City this Month.  There's a Special for Everyone, so let Yourself Shine!  Offer Valid on Days indicated.  Restrictions may apply.  Event ends Aug 31, 2012.

Untitled #11


























1.  Loose Fit Pants 2.  Faux Leather Pants 3.  Sweatshirt Dress 4.  Jacket  5.  Jacket $10!! 6.  Skirt

You know what one word all of these looks have in common?  Effortless.  Not to mention affordable and thank heavens, now available to shop H&M ONLINE.  As the Kentucky Ambassador, I would be leading y'all astray if I didn't do my due diligence and dig up some of the current looks I'm craving.  These looks are all polished, yet laid back, feminine, with a slight touch of edge.  Price tag is totally right--just what I love.  Remember there's still time to represent the KY and enter the H&M 50 States of Fashion for a chance to win a trip to NYC with a side of shopping!  Upload your pic to instagram with the hashtag #HMShopOnlineKY.  Make it a good one!

Skirts & Sneaks






vest (Old Navy old, alternatives HERE or HERE), button down (J.Crew), skirt (J.Crew, alternative HERE), shoes (Vans), bag (Michael Kors), bracelets (J.Crew, Stella & DotLinea Pelle), shades (Michael Kors), ring (Lagos), watch (Michael Kors)
No stranger to skirts & sneaks (see HERE), I love the idea of pairing girly with sporty.  Honestly, if I had to classify my style, I would say girly tomboy pretty much fits the bill.  It's when I feel most comfy indeed.  I am on a major run with THESE VANS right now---I have worn the heck outta them here lately (see HERE & HERE).  Headed to NYC this weekend and def plan on walking the streets in these bad boys, too!  Y'all make it a good one!

The Cutoff






blazer (J.Crew on SALE), blouse (J.Crew, LOVE THIS OPTION), belt (Banana Republic), cutoffs (J.Brand, Alternative ON SALE), heels (French Connection ON SALE), bag (Louis Vuitton), watch (Michael Kors), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), bracelets (J.Crew, Linea Pelle), shades (Ray Ban), necklace (Maya Brenner)
Normally left for the more laid back crowd, I wanted to add polish to the Cutoff with a Blazer and tucked in blouse.  Once we head into fall, I already plan to pair em' with a cozy Sweater & laid back Sneaks.  Piperlime is having an addt'l 20% off sale apparel with code TREAT.  Perfect for us because there's a ton of denim on sale---check them out below!  Make it a good one, gang!

Lacey Stripes





  
skirt (Forever21, old, other lace options HERE & HERE), vest (J.Crew), top (Loft), heels (Sam Edelman, other colors HERE), necklace (BaubleBar Silver Version), bag (Michael Kors), watch (Michael Kors), rings (Lagos, Anna Beck), bracelets (J.Crew, Stella & Dot), shades (Gucci)
Y'all getting sick and tired of this VEST yet (see HERE & HERE)?  Clearly it's proven to be a fantastic summer topper but that's not to say it won't transition perfectly into the fall.  I highly recommend snagging one--obviously, I wear mine pretty regularly!  
My gal, Danielle, visited several weekends ago for a day of sun & shopping and of course did not come empty handed.  Kid is so great she brought the lace skirt above I've been clocking for a bit as well as THESE PANTS.  Remember to swap pieces with your gal pals in an effort to test run some new threads without having to shell out any dough!  You will find some odd gratification, too, seeing your pieces worn by a fellow friend--weird, but true!
Did you all check out yesterday's $150 INPINK Jewelry Giveaway?  It's a goodin'--make sure to check it out!  Cheers to a lovely weekend--make it a good one!
