Lately, I've been seeing kimonos everywhere. I'm dying to purchase one, but I sadly cannot because I decided to participate in "No Buy July." That's why when I pulled out this scarf from the back of my closet, I got the brilliant idea to wear it as a kimono! It's not the same, but it has a similar affect. Plus, I didn't have to buy a single thing!

In case you couldn't tell my the above picture, I am currently craving floppy hats! That's right, I am totally and completely obsessed with them! I where them often and own quite a few, but I can't seem to get enough. These are the ones I've had my eye on for awhile now.

I don't know what it is about a fedora that makes me feel so cool, but I know that it's a great feeling that makes me want to wear one all the time! How do you feel about fedoras?

If you are a frequent reader of my blog, you've probably noticed by now that I am absolutely obsessed with rompers. Well, I have found the romper to rule all other rompers! This beautiful lacy number from Lookbook Store is one of the most glamorous and gorgeous pieces I've ever seen. I wore it to a party the other night and received numerous compliments! Who doesn't love that?

I found this top at a local thrift store and didn't even wait to try it on before purchasing it. I don't know what it is about it that I love so much. Maybe it's that it's just so unique and different from any other tops that I own. Maybe it's that it looks more expensive than the dollar I paid for it. Either way, I absolutely love it and wear it all the time!

One of my favorite things about living in Southern California, is that the sun is almost always out.  Not only do I absolutely love the sunshine, but it also makes for beautiful blog photos. When the sun is out, I definitely take advantage and bust out my camera! It makes me want to throw on my brightest and happiest colors and snap away all day long.

I know, another outfit with floral details. I can't help it, though, it's summer! Summer means lots of floral and tropical prints. At least, it does to me! I have loved this skirt from the moment I found it on a clearance rack at Target. The dark grey colors don't necessarily scream "stereotypical cheery summer print," and that's exactly why I like it. How do you feel about the overload of floral prints going on this season?

The other day, my amazing boyfriend came over and surprised me with these brand new shoes. I was so excited, I instantly threw an outfit together to match them! I wanted to showcase the beautiful colors, without taking away from the gorgeous print. Who says men can't have good taste?

There comes a time in everyone's life, that the need for a special occasion dress emerges. I know that I've been there and scrambled at the last minute, only to settle on something I don't truly love. Don't let this happen to you! I am fortune enough to have discovered an amazing online retailer, Victoria's Dress, who specializes in anything from cocktail dresses and evening dresses, to short and long prom dresses, to bridesmaids dresses, and even wedding dresses! The best part? They are extremely affordable and chic! I highly recommend checking them out. Below are a few of my picks for a very special occasion.

Lately I've noticed a new trend popping up everywhere. At first I didn't know how I felt about it, but now I can officially say I'm starting to really dig bug prints. How do you feel about them?

Welcome to Day Two of Thrift Week! This dress was an amazing find for me, because I just know it was expensive for the first owner to purchase it. It's a Barney's dress. That's right, a Barney's New York dress that I scored for less than $5! Have I mentioned how much I love thrift stores?

Happy Wednesday! I'm so excited to share with you a campaign I am newly a part of. Credit Card Insider is spreading the word about spending responsibly, and they have asked me to help get that knowledge out to my wonderful readers! For some time, I have been coveting the dress you see above. The only problem, though, is that it's from Barney's, and it's over a thousand dollars! Thankfully, I was browsing a local thrift store the other day when I found an amazing dress that in my opinion, is even more beautiful. The sheer details match that of the Barney's dress, however, it takes the cake with its beautiful display of decorative gold buttons. My dress is originally from H&M, so even if I had found it in the store, it most likely wouldn't have been more than twenty dollars, but I scored it for only five! I styled it with a matching gold belt from Forever 21 and an adorable Vince Camuto backpack. Now that's what I call responsible spending!

Sometimes organizing your closet can be a pain, but other times it can serve as a reminder of amazing pieces of clothing you forgot you had. That's what happened for me the other day. I found this beautiful skirt still tucked away in the very back of my closet, and instantly pulled it out to wear. I had forgotten how beautiful it is! Has that ever happened to you?
