Crazy For Camel

Camel Top Coat || Camel Sweater || White Skinny Jeans || Tory Burch Bag || Marc Fisher Camel Heels (So comfy, wore these walking around all day long) || Similar Pink Touch Technology Gloves, Long and Short || Freyrs Sunglasses c/o || Camel Circle Scarf || Humble Chic Earrings c/o || Karl Lagerfeld Watch c/o || Lip Color: Ava ||

One color I've been crushing on lately is camel. It pairs with literally anything and is the perfect neutral to wear throughout the year. It's a good color to buy some staple items in (think coats, bags, sweaters) seeing as how it never goes out of style and always feels classically cool. For instance, this camel topcoat, which I've been wearing non-stop (size XXS) is polished and a staple item to carry you through the fall and winter seasons. It works for a night out on the town, at the office, running weekend errands, basically anything you can think of. I initially was only going to pair white with camel for this look, but found these beautiful embellished touch technology gloves at a local boutique called BRASHhh in Rehoboth Beach and could not resist. The rosy blush color is another one of my favorites for the season!

Happy Cyber Monday, friends! I hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving holiday with family and friends. My dad, Ava, and I took a weekend trip to Rehoboth Beach for their annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony. It's always such a fun and festive event with everyone filled to the brim with Christmas cheer. After gathering around the tree everyone sings carols for about half an hour and then the tree is lit. This was the outfit I wore for the festivities. Luckily, the weather turned out to be very mild which meant only some layering was needed during the day. A fun little tidbit, try layering your vest over your blazer instead of under.  I'm also loving this new Karl Lagerfeld watch. Blue and rose gold are one of my favorite color combos and you can never go wrong with some cool sophistication. Above are some of the Cyber Monday deals going on right now from companies that I'm constantly wearing!

Marled Turtleneck // Rainy Days

Marled Top Sold Out (Similar Here) || AG Skinny Jeans || Kate Spade Bag || Wedge Booties || Ray Ban Sunglasses || Daniel Wellington Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Jackie Kennedy Emerald Unity Band || Humble Chic Earrings c./o ||

Hello, friends and happy Monday! I hope everyone enjoyed the weekend. We had a rainy one as predicted so this post is pretty appropriate. It had also rained a few of the days we were in Rehoboth. While I'd rather it not rain on vacation, it is nice to have some rainy days at home. That always means cozy cuddle time inside with my little love bug! It allows me to also catch up on any reading, movies, tv shows, or chores that I've fallen behind on. I picked up this top (similar) a few weeks ago in preparation for our trip. I love turtlenecks for layering and could not beat the softness and gray color. This time of the year, the weather is so unpredictable at the beach so I needed to bring items that would be versatile and allow me to layer on or off depending on the temperature. This casual look was great for walking around the town and doing a bit of sight seeing.

Little Gray Dress

Gray Dress || Marbled Sunglasses || Leopard Bag || Lace Up Heels || Daniel Wellington Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Jackie Kennedy Emerald Unity Band || Humble Chic Earrings c/o ||

This flowy marbled swing dress is one of those dresses you can simply throw on with ease and head out the door. It's so comfy and I've been gravitating towards gray colors lately. It's fantastic to pair with olive, burgundy, and blush. Some of my fall favorites! I wore this out for our first night in Rehoboth. It was the first time that I had worn these heels and they do need to be broken in a bit before they feel comfortable. They do fit true to size though. The lace ups are totally eye catching and on trend.

I've got so many photos still to edit from our trip!  I'm thinking of doing a separate post on just the family photos once they're all done. This always happens with my vacation photos. I end up taking so many and then procrastinate on editing them. Does this happen to anyone else with their vacation photos??

The Blue Peter Pan

Dressfo Blue Dress c/o || Burgundy Heels || Mellie Bianco Bag || Karen Walker Sunglasses || Daniel Wellington Watch c/o || Humble Chic Earrings c./o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band || Jackie Kennedy Emerald Unity Band ||

Hey all! Happy Wednesday. It's no secret that I'm such a sucker for peter pan collars As soon as I see one, I instantly go weak in the knees! This blue dress from Dressfo features a peter pan collar, fit and flare waist, and a subtle floral pattern running vertically along the chest. I'm wearing a size small and find it to be true to size. It's just slightly tight in the arms, but nothing bad. The blue color is so striking and pairs wonderfully with burgundy for the fall. This dress is under $30 making it a fantastic deal for the amount of wear you can get out of it. I was even a bit warm while wearing it during the day so there's no doubt it'll keep you toasty. The day started started out being cooler and turned warm once the sun showed up later in the afternoon. That's fall weather for you!

Pink Lace Dress

Happy Monday! This past week my family and I had our annual family vacation in Rehoboth Beach, which was much needed if I do say so myself. We all had a great time and felt so thankful to be able to spend some quality time together. We had just about every type of weather you can think of for the fall, but honestly I really enjoyed that! Some days were sunny and hot, some were cloudy and cool, some were windy, and some were rainy. There was very limited wifi where we stayed so I wasn't able to use my laptop. It was nice to unplug for a bit and yet still have a little bit of access to what was going on in the world. Ava did absolutely amazing too! She really is a trooper on all of my trips. Traveling with kids is not the most relaxing thing in the world, but it does bring so much joy to watch them having fun and experience all of these new things with you.

On one of the hot days I was able to pull out this pink lace dress. It fits my body incredibly well (wearing a small) and has the prettiest crochet lace details and cut out in the back. How gorgeous is the eyelash trim on the bottom hem too?! Obviously, I adore the blush color. Even though its fall now where burgundy and olive reign supreme, I still love to wear colors that would be considered more for spring and summer. Think a pink sweater or coat that will look just as chic in the fall or winter and let you stand out from a crowd of darker hues.

Flowy Dress in Rehoboth

Printed High-Low Dress || Sandals also in black || Kate Spade Bag || Sunnies || Daniel Wellington Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band ||

When I'm at the beach I love to wear easy breezy dresses that flow beautifully with the summer wind. After spending the day on the hot sand, I slipped into this silky dress for a night out on the town. The print on this dress reminded me of palms and had me dreaming of a tropical escape. The high-low design is especially good for us shorter gals! The bodice has boning in it for uplifting support while the neck tie can actually be removed to create a strapless dress. This dress felt amazing in the hazy hot humidity that hung around all day. I paired these lace up gladiator sandals with the outfit. The metallic and white elements are striking and great for summertime.

Red, White, and Blue

Midi Skirt || Similar Striped Top || Sandals ||SimilarStraw Hat || Ava's Straw Hat || Kate Spade Bag || Daniel Wellington Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band ||

I hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th of July holiday! It's always nice to have the long weekend too. My dad, Ava, and Itook a quick trip down to Rehoboth Beach to cross an item off of my dad's bucket list. He's always wanted to see the fireworks on the beach for the 4th of July and in all the years we've been going there, 26 to be exact, we've never once gone on the patriotic holiday. The town was hustling and bustling with all kinds of activity, red, white, and blue displays of patriotism, and of course everyone gearing up for the big fireworks display on the beach Sunday night. I have to say, it was quite an amazing sight to see and it was Ava's first fireworks show!

There's nothing more festive than red, white, and blue themes for the summer holidays. It's a classic combination that never tires. Another staple in my wardrobe is stripes. I'm always adding more and more striped pieces into my wardrobe since I know I'll be wearing them so often. This midi skirt instantly caught my eye as being the perfect companion to my navy and white pieces. I don't own too many red items and knew this would fit right in. I love the quality of the fabric. It has a good weight to it and feels way more expensive than it really is. I'm wearing a size xs for reference.

Fluffy Jacket + Rehoboth Beach

I've had this jacket for some time now, but haven't worn it yet. On our most recent trip to Rehoboth Beach, (more photos below) I knew the weather was going to be nice and would only need a light sweater and jacket for the day. This jacket is full of whimsy and is the prettiest shade of rose. I love how fun the feathery tassels are. I wanted to look to have softer colors with a bright pop of pink to give it a little punch.

Here's some snaps from our Rehoboth Beach trip this past week to see the Christmas tree lighting. I haven't finished working on all of the pictures yet, but this is a good representation of our time there. The weather was amazing and the town was so magical with all of the decorations and twinkle lights. It was even warm enough at night for my dad and I to enjoy some drinks al fresco at The Boardwalk Plaza. Also, if you ever happen to be in town, try out Kaisy's Delight. It's an Austrian pancake with powdered sugar on top. I literally went every single morning to get my little treat!

Blush Wine

Once the weather cools down and fall approaches, I instantly start to look for fabrics that have a lush feeling, including velvet. There's nothing that seems more appropriate for the cooler weather than luxurious velvet in rich colors. This skirt is simply divine and has me feeling very chic in it! This was actually an outfit I wore towards the end of our Rehoboth Beach vacation, but one that I was the most excited to wear. Everyone in stores and on the street kept asking me where I got the skirt. People may want to keep their more formal pieces for night or special occasions, but I say rock them any time you want! I kept the look sweet by pairing it with blush and nude tones. Aren't these shoes a perfect dupe for Valentino's too!?! For less than $70.00 you cannot go wrong. The kitten heel was perfect for walking around town without any discomfort and keeping the look a little more casual than a higher heel would.

Travel Log

Rehoboth Beach, Delaware

The Pine and Brine

To say I'm a little nostalgic about Rehoboth Beach would be putting it mildly. My family has been vacationing here for over 20 years. I have so many wonderful memories that I cherish deeply. The quaint little town is only 1 mile long by 1 mile wide and has the nickname "pine and brine" due to the forestry area at the Grear and Silver lakes with the ocean only 1 block away. It has the best of both worlds. Plentiful are the amount of restaurants and shops carrying anything your heart desires. I truly have always considered Rehoboth a home away from home. My dad and I got up every morning at 5:45 am to capture the sunrise so you'll see plenty of beautifully inspiring images. We always took a photo together with the wonderful sky as the backdrop. Below is a gallery of our most recent trip during the first week of September. The weather was scorching and the bath water temperature of the ocean felt great. You'll see classic beach images, both lakes and their surroundings, our favorite restaurants we visited, sunrise photos, nighttime images, and a tour of the Dogfish Head brewery located in Milton, Delaware.
