Fur Real

August 27, 2018August 26, 2018 ~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!! I sure did! Henry was in town, and of course we ate lots of great meals and tried to bare the 100 degree heat. Saturday lunch was at the Porch, one of Henry’s absolute favorites, and then we ventured to HG Supply on Lower Greenville for dinner. After church we had a quick bite at East Hampton, another Henry Shepherd staple, before he hit the road. A relaxing weekend is just what the doctor ordered, only next time I wish he could stay longer.

I know I get on here and always have a new obsession, but this one is FUR REAL. These leopard sneakers are a new staple for me! I love the ruggedness and edge they add to any outfit. This weekend I paired them with a sundress which was perfect for our afternoon ride on the Bird Scooters. And, if you haven’t ridden those yet, hop to it!

P.S. My sneakers are on sale, so get them while they’re hot!

Friday Finds

I love a printed sneaker! Y’all have seen me wear my leopard platforms many of times, so I thought I’d share some of my favorites out right now. They can act as a neutral or a statement depending on how you style them. Do you see a pattern? I’m loving animal print and stars. Send me pictures of you in your statement sneakers!!

Below I’ve included my inspiration for this blog post!

Applique All Day

How dreamy is this dress? From the moment I saw it on Instagram, I knew I had to have it. I love the applique detailing and the abundance of ruffles. Unfortunately I can’t find it anywhere online, so I linked my favorite pink dresses from Shopbop and Revolve.

Business Casual

August 20, 2018August 19, 2018 ~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

I’m thankful I can wear most anything to work. “Athleisure Mondays” are the best because they make starting a new week a little easier. You can wear your favorite workout gear whether you’re an Adidas girl or love Lululemon. A fairly loose dress code also allows me to be creative. I can look like I have a “real” job and wear a blouse and trousers, OR I can wear my new wide-leg chambray pants and five inch platforms. I don’t think those would fly at JP Morgan.

Do you have a dress code? I’d love to hear how you get creative with your workwear.

Cinched at the Waist

August 15, 2018August 14, 2018 ~ sanfordstandard ~ 1 Comment

Y’ALL, how amazing are these pants?? I drug my boyfriend into the boutique, Kick Pleat, while visiting him in Houston and picked up these show stopping wide leg chambray pants. My favorite details are the double wrap belt and statement buttons that accentuate the waist.

Wear these pants with a crisp white oxford tucked in for a business casual look or front tuck a chunky sweater for a cozy casual option. I’m wearing them every chance I get, and you should too. Get them while they are on sale!

P.S. Find a coworker who can French braid, so you don’t have to do your hair in the morning!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy hump day and first day of August! As summer winds down and temperatures continue to scorch, you can find your favorite warm weather pieces on sale and still have time to wear them. Just like the top I’m wearing… Florals aren’t usually my go-to, but I love the small print on this Rebecca Taylor blouse. Head over to their website ASAP because they are offering an extra 40% off their sale!!

Classic Combo

July 30, 2018 ~ sanfordstandard ~ 3 Comments

I’m wearing some oldies but goodies today! There’s nothing greater or more classic than a white and denim combo, and you can most likely create this look with what you already have in your closet. I got this Theory dress about 5 years ago, and it still remains a front runner after all these years. A white fit and flare won’t go out of style, so why not splurge and get one of great quality to last. I linked some similar options for you try!

ALSO, how adorable are my resin earrings from Hudson Carter?? I’ve partnered with them to give YOU 15% off your order using code “SS15.” They’ve got clothes and accessories you must check out! Don’t forget to follow them on Instagram because they post a lot of really great pieces that aren’t online (how I got my earrings). Share this with your friends, too!

Hi Friends! I’m still reflecting on my trip to the beach and how much fun we had! I wanted to show y’all one last set of pictures from our dinner at George’s in Alys Beach. First of all, if you haven’t been to Alys, you’re missing out. It’s a neutral’s paradise!!! The architecture is truly perfection.

If you don’t have a pair of “fun pants” in your closet, you need to add some. Unfortunately, mine are no longer available, but I tagged a few great options. Get creative with how you style them.

I hope you all had a great week! Thanks for stopping by, and don’t forget to share with a friend.

Beach Babes

July 25, 2018July 24, 2018 ~ sanfordstandard ~ Leave a comment

This past week I relaxed on the beach with some of my best buds from high school! I haven’t spent that much time with those girls since we were in school and oh, how I miss them. We always seem to pick right back up after being apart, and what a blessing that is.

The majority of our time was spent on the beach. I can’t believe I read two books and started a third – definitely a record for me. I read Almost Gone and The Woman in Cabin 10, and I highly recommend both. I’m super thankful for the two beach umbrellas and the chairs that our condo provided, which made six-hour beach days even more relaxing. I can’t wait to go back to 30A!
