Dress: Faithful The Brand // Shoes: Loeffler Randall Penny Slides {also here} // Earrings: Here // Bag: Old, similar here // Sunglasses: Quay Its My Way Sunglasses

So much to love about this look. This dress is one of those easy, throw on for anything type dresses. You can dress is up or dress it down and it transitions really easily. I love it paired with my super summer ‘Penny’ slides from Loeffler Randall. These slides are quickly become my #1 must have shoe for summer. I wore them nonstop, and I know it will be a shoe I continue to wear into fall {something about that lamé fabric makes them feel so festive!} If you haven’t bitten the bullet on these, do so now. I guarantee you will still love them by next summer 🙂 PS – this dress comes in 3 different patterns! So if red isn’t your thing – be sure and check out the other coloways!

Writing this post from the comfort of the VonLane bus on my way to Houston! Have you all ever ridden on the VonLane? It’s my new favorite way to travel. Once you board you are given the choice of beverages and snacks {included} as well as free wifi, tv, and big plsuh comfortable chairs that recline. I was also offered a lap desk so I could easily work on my laptop for the duration of the trip. A bus attendant was super helpful and attentive and there to help/assist with anything I needed. I wish this service existed for more cities! Right now it’s just Houston – Austin – Dallas…but my fingers are crossed for an expansion!

Now, let’s talk about this simple easy look. These jeans are my new favorite – they’re actually ‘tall’ which means they have a longer inseam meant for people 5’9″ and up. You have no idea how hard it is to find jeans that are long enough, so this option is a Godsend! If you aren’t as tall, fret not, these jeans also come in a regular length. This t-shirt is also one of my favorite basics this summer. I bought it in 3 colors and have worn them nonstop.

Can you believe the summer is nearing to an end? I’m not ready and ready for Fall all at the same time. What are your weekend plans? Do you have anything exciting coming up?

Dress: Saloni Nikki Mini Dress // Earrings: Panacea Art Deco Earrings // Shoes: Loeffler Randall Penny Sandal // Bag: Old, similar here // Sunglasses: Celine

Well, July is officially over, which can sometimes make me feel like the summer is over. But in Texas, with the temperatures still soaring, I’d say we are, in reality, no where near the end of summer. Which means, luckily for me, this dress will be perfect for a few more months! Although, I love the bright colors, what initially caught my attention was the shape and style of this dress.  I love the length and the relaxed opening at the front. I also love the bluson style of the sleeves. It would be great for a wedding, or a date night and so much in between! I’ve paired it here with my favorite summer sandals and these funky gold earrings.

Top: Madewell Classic Tee // Jeans: Levi’s 721 high rise jeans {also here} // Shoes: Christian Louboutin

I’ve owned lots of different denim brands throughout my life, but none are as classic as my Levi’s. The brand is infamous for their crisp & clean styles, and although I love those, my favorite pair are the 721’s {I own them in 2 colorways} eBay has an incredible selection to choose from and from all different vintages – you can’t beat the prices, so go check it out and let me know what you find!
