AN AUDREY-INSPIRED SUMMER LOOK

Dress:  (From Thred-Up.  Similar style here and here. More below!) | Shoes: Nine West (Similar here and here) | Bag: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban | Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs | Earrings: Similar


Haaaappyy Tuesday!!! If you haven't noticed I have been COMPLETELY M.I.A. on here (and instagram) and it's because, starting Thuesday, it's officially one week until I GRADUATE from college (OMG YAY!!!!!! Cannot believe it.  Frickin finally.) and these last finals and papers have just completely taken over my life. My last final is this Thursday (Bio.  Eek.), so I figured I'd give my eyes a break from powerpoints and google docs to post this outfit :)  

As you can probably tell from my previous posts, I LOVE a cute little black dress and this one is no exception.  It's from Thred-Up (originally $30 and I got it for $9!!!!)  It's super light and flowy, and I love the button-up and collar details because they give it a sense of put-together-ness without even having to try! 
When I tried it on I had my hair up in a bun and just had this vision of a modern day casual Audrey Hepburn so I did my own take on on Audrey's classic look from Breakfast at Tiffany's for this outfit!  
I put my hair up in a high bun (minus the tiara clip) and wore my favorite black sunnies, my black Ray-Ban aviators.  Since this dress is definitely more causal, I slipped on these open toe flats that I've been loving (also from Thred-Up) and added my favorite simple accessories to highlight the gold buttons on the dress.  
It's such a perfect and effortless look for summer!

If any of you are in college and still taking finals, I am wishing you the best of luck!!! YOU'RE ALMOST THERE YOU CAN DO IT!! And congratulations to anyone graduating!!!! xoxoxo

THE PERFECT SUMMER WRAP DRESS


Dress: Karina Dresses | Heels: BCBGeneration | Sunglasses: Ray-Ban | Bag: Zara (Similar here) | Watch: Marc by Marc Jacobs

I've talked about how much I love a good wrap dress before on here but, just in case you didn't hear me, I'm here to tell you again! Wrap dresses are the BEST!

If you're looking for a great versatile dress for this summer that you can throw on for work or even for an event like a wedding, Karina Dresses seriously has you covered.  This wrap dress is so flattering and so easy.  It doesn't wrinkle so that means you can bring it anywhere and do anything in it!  It travels well in a suitcase folded up meaning you never have to worry about how to transport it.
It cinches you in at the waist and flares out at the bottom, plus I just love the detail of the tie in the middle.  It is just such a flattering design! And I love the feel of the material because it's so comfy and stretchy.
I got it in this polka design because I love that kind of retro feel it has, but this style dress comes in so many different colors and designs.  Karina Dresses also makes so many different styles of wrap dress so you can find the fit thats perfect for you.  I'm telling you, it's the perfect staple piece to have in your closet that will never go out of style.  

I know I'm going to get so much use out of it this spring and summer!  

Have a great week everyone!
