Hey lovelies, sorry for the lack of posts this week... I've had to slow down a little because lately I've felt I've been running 100 mph with work and traveling etc. I'm off today and I'm looking forward to getting lunch w/ a good friend and just relaxing. My closet is definitely in need of some reorganizing, so I'll be doing that this weekend as well. I hope to do some posts of my home decor soon... it's something I've been meaning to do for awhile, just haven't gotten around to it.

I love the pairing of denim shirts with unexpected bottoms. These polka dot shorts seemed like the perfect mate! Another thing I love? Buttoning up your shirt collar all the way up and fastening a really cool chunky necklace or brooch underneath! Give it a shot if you've never tried it!

P.S. I've featured this ULINX jewelry on my blog before HERE and I just can't get enough of it! This jewelry is so fun! It's magnetic and you can design your own bracelets, necklaces, and rings yourself by mixing and matching the pieces. It's super easy and so unique! Check out this sweet video that demonstrates how ULINX works!

OK, so it's not Fourth of July yet... but I couldn't help but feel patriotic when I wore this vintage dress today. I stumbled upon this dress while thrifting a couple of weeks ago, and I couldn't wait to wear it! I can tell by the yellow old-fashioned tags that it's really old... I just love findings vintage pieces with the old-school tags on them. They are the best.

I've been waiting to style one of the Dior scarves I purchased a couple months ago when I was shopping in Savannah... and the colors in this dress matched a couple of them perfectly. Not to mention these Miu Miu denim flower heels. They are so fun, and incredibly comfortable.

I hope everyone's week is off to a great start! xo!! :)

Sassed-n-Relaxed

Happy Sunday [&& Happy Father's Day!!]. Today was a laid back day. We drove to Venice to have a late lunch w/ my in-laws, so my outfit was def a relaxed feel. However, those who know me know that I can never 100% wear a relaxed and easy outfit. I always have to add flair with my accessories or shoes; my personality must always be present in everything I wear. Hence my outfit today. My army-style capris are extremely comfy, especially when paired with an easy tank and flowy and relaxed vest. I felt the need to show off some of my latest vintage finds, and I felt that these Miu Miu denim pumps were my ticket to adding some pizazz to my outfit [they are chic yet surprisingly comfortable, which is an A+ for me]. This belt is a perfect touch to bringing the look all together. The watering can and the owl are my latest vintage necklaces to my collection. I am ob-sessed w/ owls and this watering can just caught my eye. Although I am not an avid gardener, I do try...and I thought this was the cutest little charm! The cross is dear to my heart, as it was my brothers.

Anyways, hope everyone had a grand 'ol day. I have a busy week ahead of me, so hopefully it will go by fast! (:
