I’ve worn my fare share of blue and white stripes in my 24 years, but this dress is by far my favorite! I got this dress for Christmas (great job, mama) and have been itching to wear it ever since. My recent trip to Miami was the perfect time to break this lovely lady out. Unfortunately, it’s nowhere to be found online, so instead I linked some equally as pretty blue and white stripe dress options.

Here are some of my other blue and white stripe moments: 1, 2, 3, 4.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hi friends, it’s me again! I am loving this embroidered Zara dress. I’ve worn it to work, and I have to say it was definitely comfortable but not wrinkle friendly. This dress is super versatile which is something I look for when shopping. I can wear it to work, casually on the weekends with sneakers and then to church with a simple flat.

Be on the look out for July 4th outfit inspiration coming this Friday! It’s not too early to start planning your holiday look!

This top is one of the pieces I purchased from the Zara sale! Unfortunately it’s not available anymore, but I tagged something similar. Embroidery is all the rage, which I’m sure you’ve noticed, so don’t be afraid to add a piece to your closet! It should be a staple of your summer wardrobe.

PS Zara has a lot of new pieces out for fall, so check them out!

Friday Finds

I want to start a new segment on my blog entitled “Friday Finds.” Here I will share my favorite items of the week. They may be new items, a restaurant I tried, or a piece of home decor. Who knows… I hope you ride along on this adventure with me.

North Star Stud Earrings

I’m obsessed with these diamond and starburst earrings. They come in 14k yellow, white and rose gold. You can wear them everyday or dress them up. They are $240 a pair.

Textured Stripe Swimsuit

I love that the one piece is back in style. First of all they are just so easy to wear. No slips will happen when you’re all locked into this swimsuit. I love the bow detail in the back, too.

Memphis residents and tourists have a new place to hang out! RailGarten, located in Midtown, has something for everyone. From the ice cream parlor and cocktail lounge to the indoor ping pong bar and the outdoor sand volleyball court. There is even outdoor music and the largest tire swing that even the adults will want to swing on. I can’t wait to go back!

Red Stripe Denim

This twist on your average white denim will make your spring and summer looks. Pair with any blue button down or a ruffled blouse, and you’ve got your summer go-to look.

Ferris Wheel Tee

Okay, how cute is this embroidered tee? Tuck into a denim bottom, slip on your Adidas tennies or favorite mules and you’re out the door.

Thanks for stopping by! Let me know what else you would like to see here.
