Leopard Date Night

Good morning, friends! While you’ll almost certainly find me in a dress most days, it is nice to switch it up with a fun pair of pants, especially these leopard skinny jeans, which are currently on sale! This look is great for a summer date night, but these jeans could also be worn for more casual days with a simple black or white t-shirt or even to the office with a chic pair of flats and a burgundy or navy top. Pops of pink also look fabulous with leopard as well! As for sizing with the jeans, I would go down one size for the best fit.

Good morning and happy Thursday, friends! Ava and I enjoy taking walks to see the leaves starting to pop with their brilliant colors and decided to do one after having just gotten out of church this past Sunday. The weather was still warm and there was the peaceful calmness in the air that only a Sunday afternoon can bring. The sun peeked through every now and then with a nice golden glow giving the leaves a more vibrant image.

This outfit combines two of my favorite fall fabrics, tweed and velvet. The tweed top from Julie Brown NYC has the prettiest specks of blush, light blue, and shimmering gold threads in it. The ruffles add a feminine touch. It’s also a nice heavy fabric with excellent quality. When I first put this look together I thought how lovely it would be for a holiday gathering, Thanksgiving or even Christmas. During the fall months it would make a fantastic date night outfit too! To add an extra dose of something special, I wore these glitter pumps. My kind of ruby slippers, light pink style. They’re even more stunning in person and fit true to size.

Adding some Sparkle...

Hello all and happy Tuesday! If you live in the North East, then you may have experienced some of the wild thunderstorms we've been having. Technically, I'm not complaining because they lowered the temperature a bit to a comfortable level. Now, we're suppose to have some pretty decent weather so hands up in the air for that! The weather literally controls so much of what we do so I'm constantly watching it, haha. I usually dress based on how the weather is or even last night, I was grilling some food outside and was watching the sky constantly in case the storm was suddenly going to start. I literally have a sweater on now as I'm writing this because it's so chilly outside (about 60 degrees!), which is funny since in the winter or spring, 60 degrees feels like a heat wave.

Anyway, enough about weather. One of my favorite easy glam looks for a night out on the town is a fun top with skinny jeans and heels. It's a go-to formula that never fails and is almost always comfortable to wear. This navy and white sequin top from Julie Brown NYC has a classic feel to it (navy and white is as classic as you can get) while also having a fun and youthful side with the sparkly sequins. I'm wearing a size P for reference. The top has a bit of swing to it and a layer underneath so the sequins will not scratch you. Leopard is one of my favorite prints to add onto to an outfit and acts almost like a neutral to me. It pairs so well with just about everything!

"You mustn't be afraid to sparkle a little brighter, darling." -Kristen Kuehn. How true that is! I never shy away from a bit of little sequins, or a lot haha! This little black dress from Humble Chic is so comfortable on with a nice amount of stretch and has a light lining underneath for a smooth beautiful fit. It's a fantastic dress to grab and throw on quickly for a night out on the town. I love how the dress skims the body and hugs it in all the right places. The silhouette is so flattering without being too revealing. It's currently on sale too for under $50! I wanted to keep the look simple, but with some extra jazz added in. A black dress and heels with a snappy gold bag. They key to adding in that jazz? All of the sequins! Obviously, this is strictly a nighttime look. If I were going to wear it for the day, I would only have one sequin accessory, two tops if they were smaller like jewelry.

This dress was on my wishlist for quite some time before I actually got it. I'm completely swooning over it too! What a knock out piece. Even my husband, when he walked in the house, said "wow, you look amazing in that dress!" This comes from a man who barely notices whatI wear haha. I would say it runs a little bit small. I'm wearing a size small and it is a bit snug, but not enough for me to order a size up. White the dress looks like its see through, there is a mesh layer underneath that is a nude color. The detailing on this dress is exquisite. I really did not want to take it off. It's lightweight and a great option for a night out on the town.

Happy Monday, friends! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Does anyone else watch Downton Abbey? My dad and I have a tradition where we have a little party to watch the show, which is in its final season. We have some snacks and a little wine while we watch and then discuss it afterwards. It's always a highlight of my weekend and a great way to end it each week.

I'm in love with this glam sequin dress. I always adore a good sparkle! This dress has a double layer so the sequins do not scratch your skin. Every inch is covered in little sequins, and I mean every inch. It's a beautifully made dress with such intricate detail. The long sleeves make it a great going out option for the winter with some tights. I'm usually all about fit and flare styles, but every now and then its nice to wear a sheath for a more stream lined look. What really got me was the stand up collar. I'm a sucker for them or any kind of collar really (peter pan I'm looking at you!) There's also an alluring open back to the dress that feels so captivating.

Date Night Inspirtaion

I've been having a big crush on polka dots lately. Can you blame me?? This adorable print got me thinking about my weekly inspiration post which quickly became a date night outfit idea. This even has a kind of grown up Minnie Mouse appeal to it. I love pairing black and white together with a pop of red and a hint of gold. It feels so very parisian chic. Shop the outfit details above. Enjoy your Wednesday everyone!
