Floral Frock

Sunday afternoon at the ballet. // 10.26.14

Dress: Free People; Shoes: Louboutin.

Perfect fall floral dress.Love a classic, nude Louboutin.

So elegant.

Dress: Free People; Shoes: Louboutin.

If you live in Chicago, you know the past few days have been BEAUTIFUL! Like 70 degrees and sunny. I totally wouldn’t mind all of fall/winter being like this. I went to the ballet Sunday afternoon, and, since it was so nice out, wore this floral dress from Free People. Both the muted color and the long sleeves made it perfect for fall. And how about those buttons on the back and sleeves?!

Leather shorts add a bit of edge.

Love this graphic sweatshirt -- it can be dressed up or down.

Obsessing over these.

Date night drinks at Le Bouchon Chicago.

Sweatshirt: Wildfox; Shorts: H&M; Shoes: Steve Madden; Bracelet: H&M.

Graphic t’s are everywhere right now. I’m not a huge fan of the trend, but I do love Wildfox quite a bit. So, I decided to dress up the trend by pairing this sweatshirt with leather shorts for a little edge and these new Steve Madden pumps that kick ass.

Tea-worthy Dressing

Afternoon tea at the Peninsula is something my mom and I have been doing for years. For this outing, I decided to wear a bright blue dress by Madewell — perfect for an afternoon of tea and pastries.

Sundress Sundays

Shopping in Wicker Park. // 7.6.14

Dress: Urban Outfitters; Sandals: Steve Madden; Sunglasses: Ray-Ban.

Bag: Badgley Mischka; Jewelry: Urban Outfitters.

Love the lace edging on this dress to give it a little more "fancy" edge.

Summer sundress heaven.

Dress: Urban Outfitters; Bag: Badgley Mischka; Sandals: Steve Madden; Sunglasses: Ray-Ban.

In my opinion, the sundress is the summer staple every girl should have in her closet. But choosing the right one can be tricky. For me, lighter and breezier, the better. Summer ease with a little flounce. A tiny bit of lace like this one from Urban Outfitters adds a little “girlie” accent.
