End of Summer Blues 

It’s the last of summer!  After Labor Day, summer is officially over.  Boo-hoo!  I am holding onto the last of summer days, and trying to enjoy what is remaining–last pool days, last barbecues, last nights catching fireflies, last picnics.  End of Summer Blues for sure!  But really we are down to the hours than days.  The good thing is by now all the summer sales are happening and the time is now to stock up for next year or those days that will still have over 80 degrees, which we have quite a bit here in Georgia.  So end of summer blues may have some good in it.  We did an impromptu picnic this past weekend in a field close to our house.  This tiered ruffle skirt was perfect and a bonus with it being on sale with an additional discount.  So I was excited to snatch it!  Stella joined me and her dress is a favorite that has last more than two seasons.  Here is a similar style.

Another bonus to end of summer blues is my jewelry shop has it’s summer sale!  And good news, it’s going on right now.  I just added new markdowns up to 40% off.  I’m wearing the Padma earrings that I love.  It’s on sale and goes with just about everything.

Seersucker Stripe Skirt

Full swing summer time over here and the south is already sweltering hot.  Pool everyday has been our agenda, and I’ve been sporting a top knot and no makeup for the last few days.  But finally this weekend I actually got ready for the day, and I now am obsessed with all things stripes!  Especially this seersucker stripe skirt.  Simple ruffle details and blue stripe pinstripes, this is a huge style trend this summer.  I wore a seersucker stripe dress  recently, and I’ve been hooked since.  So when I saw this skirt, I just knew it would be perfect to wear to an outdoor luncheon with girlfriends or a summer baby shower.  What summer trend are you enjoying this season?  Have you seen the circle round bag trend recently?  Love that trend and this pink canteen style bag is adorable, faux leather and reasonably priced under $45! I’m also linking a few of my other favorite canteen circle, round bags below the post. Don’t forget I did a DIY on a round handle round bag that is perfect for a night out on the town if you want to get the look but not spend the money

You may see I’m wearing some new tassel jewelry.  I’m excited to be releasing some new pieces…they are currently getting photographed so I hope to have them up in my shop very soon!  They have a Havana-fest style to them and look really cute with a seersucker stripe skirt.

You don’t have to only wear heels with a seersucker stripe skirt.  Flat sandals or kitten heel sandals would do the trick also!

Spring Style: Sweater Dress and Booties

Spring is here, but I can’t give up my booties yet!  It’s not quite warm enough to bring out the sandals and not to mention my toes are needing some color and some freshening up.  So, I’ve been living in dresses and skirts these past spring days with my booties.  A cute sweater dress and booties are a perfect combo!  And I do think a great transition from winter to spring.  This scalloped sweater dress from Banana Republic is really quite my favorite.  Have you seen some the new collections Banana has released?  They are killing it!  I always find something I like when I am there.  The sweater dress has these little tiny holes so I wore a undergarment slip from Downeast.  They are my favorite to wear under dresses or tunics.  Comfortable and lightweight, and the right amount of coverage.  Sweater dress and booties can be worn during the day and transition into night.  I love the versatility!

What are you wearing these spring days to transition from winter?  Is it also a sweater dress and booties?

Get the look!
