rose & lime dress

I kinda, sorta live in dresses all summer long....
Found this one while looking through 'The Gram' (Instagram), saw it on a fellow Stella & Dot stylist and fell in love immediately! I asked her a few questions about the fit and she so generously and quickly replied. Side note, don't you just love your insta-friends?!?! Gosh I do!

The dress is from Rose & Lime, so of course I headed on over to their online boutique. Shipping was faster than I expected, always a nice surprise. It is bold and vibrant, flow-y and just so pretty. I paired it with a floppy hat, Jcrew Factory sunglasses, and my Madewell sandals. Oh and how cute is my grand-furbaby Winston! he can get in my shot any day! As always, thanks for stopping by.

Coffee Table

Decor

I recently did a little re-decorating (insert happy emoji face)! I mostly re-used items I already owned by re-purposing them in different areas of the house. The one item I did purchase was this gorgeous coffee table from World Market. I fell in love with the material and texture and It went perfectly with the items I already owned. This little guy made a big impact in the room and I couldn't be more pleased. Because I went from a large rectangular coffee table to this smaller round one I added some much needed floor space which makes the room look bigger! When you have a small space and share it with a large family you appreciate every single inch. We are enjoying our new redecorated space and I couldn't be happier!

As always thanks for stopping by!

Necessary Clothing

#OOTD

Jeans / Similar Bodysuit Here & Here / Shoes (currently on sale) / Duster Coat / Stella & Dot Rings / RocksBox Necklace

You know I practically live in jeans and this distressed pair from Necessary Clothing are my current faves. Super comfy, on trend, and won't break the bank.

I love dressing up my denim, it's pretty much what you will find me in most days. Here I paired my distressed denim with a mock neck bodysuit and a light weight duster coat, which is perfect for this crazy December weather as of late!!! I added some jewels and a great pair of heels and done! What's your favorite way to dress up your denim?

As always thank you so much for taking some time out of your day and stopping by. Wishing you a wonderful Holiday Season!

Hello Brooklyn

brooklyn

It's was a gorgeous Fall day in the neighborhood. Near 70 degrees in November, I could certainly get use to that! I spend some time in my favorite borough with a few of my favorite people and tried a new little burger spot. Hello Bklyn and hello Mac & Cheese Burger!!! The food was delicious, prices were reasonable, and hip hop played over the speakers, I will definitely be coming back!

This dress is from Holiday Boutique in Historic Beacon Hill, MA. I purchased it on my last visit to Bean Town and this was the perfect day to wear it. It's from one of their very own signature collections. This one is from the 'PRETTY LITTLE SISTER' line. It's a faux suede navy dress. It is absolutely the softest material I have ever felt. If you are ever in Boston, please stop by Holiday Boutique, it is such a gem and the staff is absolutely wonderful. The selection of clothing and accessories is superb. Aside from carrying their own line they also carry smaller fashion labels which I love. If you cannot make it there you can check them out online.

I paired my dress with Sam Edelman 'Louie' Booties and a burgundy Sole Society bag that I've had for quite some time. I linked below this bootie in other colors and some similar bags & dresses.

As always thank you for stopping by!

Berry Dress

Clothing & Accessories

Zara Lace Up Shoes / MissGuided Dress / Express Jacket / Stella & Dot Plume Necklace

If you know me you know I live in short, flowy dresses, they are my absolute favorite. Comfy, stylish, and flattering on every body type. I wear them all Summer long and into the Fall and Winter with tights & booties. This berry color is even prettier in person and paired with Zara's lace up shoes and a faux leather jacket and it was appropriate enough for the office.

Some more faves...

Casual Jumpsuit

Clothing & Accessories

Loft Jumpsuit / Rebecca Minkoff Mini M.A.B. / Sam Edelman Booties / Sunglasses (similar, similar) / Michele Deco Watch / Denim Jacket (similar, similar)

I wish you could feel how soft this jumpsuit is. So comfy, I'm not embarrassed to say I wore it two days in a row. I have to admit though when I bought it I wasn't sure if I liked it but it was too good of a sale! I added my denim jacket and booties and kept the accessories to a minimum. I'm so happy I didn't pass it up, I'm already thinking up a few other ways to style it.

Thanks for stopping by and for a daily dose of #OOTD, accessories, and the occasional cupcake visit me on Instagram.

On Repeat

Clothing & Accessories

If this #OOTD looks familiar it's because you've seen it here! This dress happens to be a favorite of mine. I wore it this past Spring & Summer and will continue to wear it throughout the Fall. I plan on adding booties and a moto jacket for a completely different look. We all have our favorite pair of jeans but if you take a closer look at the pieces you already own you'll be surprised at all the things you can re-style & re-use. So as much as I love shopping, sometimes all you have to do is shop your closet and get inspired!

It's finally September and as sad as I am to say goodbye to Summer I am super excited to say HELLO to booties! Yes booties, one of my favorites when it comes to Fall footwear.

White Romper + Denim Jacket

accessories

My Summer style consists of dresses, rompers, cut off shorts, and loose flowy tops. I want to be comfortable and that doesn't mean I can't look cute too. I paired a comfy loose fitting romper with my good ol' denim jacket, I have owned this jacket for over 10 years at least! Here are a few similar styles I found!

Enjoy the rest of your Summer! Thanks for stopping by!

XO, Aida
