Summer Sequins
I love summer, I love sequins, and any combination of the two is a win in my book. It’s simple skirt isn’t so simple. It’s white. It’s gold. Move the sequins and it’s a combo. And it’s perfect for late summer bbqs. It only needs a white tank–and yes, you could dress it up. And while I love these ADetacher shoes, this would go just as great with flats. It’s summer sequin perfection!

Suit Up
As you know, suits are big for fall. (Need a refresher on fall trends? Got you covered here) I love suits and am in to suit up for fall–they are easy, classic, fun and I love the possibilities! From simple to extravagant, day to night, there’s a suit out there for everyone. This HM variety is perfect for nights out, but I love that it’s subtle enough to wear doing the day. What about you? Are you ready to suit up?

Stairway to Vintage
I was lucky enough to visit my alma mater last week–and even luckier that the new library has these amazing steps! Even more perfect: this vintage stunner on the steps. (And loves, this dress has pockets!) I just love it–the scenery, the fact that this dress needs nothing other than an occasion, and the fact that I got to shoot this where I used to study hard! Hope that little things like this are bringing you joy!

Vintage Garden Party
We know that I’m a lover of all things vintage and all things party. So the perfect 1960s hostess outfit that’s perfect for a summer garden party? YES PLEASE! I don’t think these pictures do the colors justice–gold, pink, orange–it’s like a desert of summer. The set is by Amen Wardy and not only do I love the skirt and little jacket together, I love that I can wear them separately! It’s Friday! Let’s party!

#Awesome
As we inch towards fall, and I begin to shop for fall, I can’t help but start to wear my new things now. Yes, this cheeky jacket will look great over jeans,sweaters, dresses, skirts, and with boots in the fall. But it makes me smile now. So I can’t help but wear it as a dress! Great with heels for a more sophisticated look. Sneakers for a coffee run. Compliments both times! It would also be great over shorts–but if we’re going somewhere, let’s go all the way. It fit perfectly as a dress, and I love that the back message makes it stand out, while maintaining some classic vibes. It’s just Awesome! (Sorry, too easy!)
Happy Wednesday! XO RA

Power Red
There’s a belief that your outfit can influence your mood. I am a firm believer and don’t know how you can have a bad day when you’re wearing red-especially power red. I love the hemline of this dress, and while I normally wear it with heels and a bit more formally, I love that a belt and flats make it a bit more casual. And yes, it transitions to fall. There’s a lot of power in that, right?

Ballet
One of my perhaps not-so-secret loves is ballet. So when I get to combine my love of fashion with that? Heaven! These pants make me happy, classic cut with personality. They look great with just about any top–and I’m looking forward to wearing them with a sweater in the fall! These shoes-my new fave. And this bag, sleek yet completely roomy for a clutch (as in all my things fit in it!)!
This is a way to Friday!

2 in 1
I’m a fan of anything that can be worn in more than one way. And believe it or not, I promise that even your “fancy” dresses are multifaceted. Like this gorgeous Asian inspired dress. Alone? Stunning. Dressed up or down? Perfect. Worn as a duster over destroyed jeans? Yes, please. It’s a statement piece with more than one thing to say, and I love hearing it all!
So next time you want to switch things up I highly recommend a dress over jeans, or a sweater over the dress–I promise your clothes have so much to tell you.
Happy Wednesday!
