My Notes

Fall Wedding Guest Dresses Under $150

Now that we’re heading into the autumn months, wedding season is starting to ramp back up again. And you know what that means – it’s time to pick an outfit! When I think about dressing for a wedding I think about 3 main things: practicality, comfort, and style.

Practicality: This probably goes without saying, but it doesn’t make sense to wear 5 inch heels to a beach wedding. Similarly wearing flats is likely not appropriate for a black tie ceremony. Always consider the venue and the time of day when choosing a dress. Opt for lighter colors and flowy silhouettes for daytime and outdoor ceremonies and stick with darker colors and more form fitting dresses for evening events.

Anniversary Trip to Turks and Caicos

Experiences > Things: That’s how we roll when it comes to celebrating special occasions, and anniversaries are no exception. This year we decided to celebrate island-style in Turks and Caicos. After a year of travel restrictions and social distancing mandates, it was just what the doctor ordered. Let’s jump right in!

Where to Stay

Picking a place to stay is probably the hardest part of planning a trip to Turks and Caicos. There are so many gorgeous properties to choose from that it can be a bit overwhelming. Let me help you out by making it simple – stay at Wymara Resort. I’m finding words inadequate to fully articulate my love for this place. Everything from the service, to the property, to the food and amenities, were exceptional.

Most Loved Items in April

Today I’m rounding up the Top 10 Bestsellers in April. Not only are they some of my favorites but y’all loved them too! Summer dresses, comfortable work wear, and high quality basics were all the rage!

LITTLE WHITE DRESS

The bestseller all month for good reason! This lightweight mini dress is perfect for spring and summer and is just as comfy as pjs but so much cuter. This LWD has pockets, a tier bottom, and a small keyhole opening in the back. Pair with sandals and a straw hat for your next getaway or layer on a denim jacket and white sneakers for an effortlessly casual spring look. Fit is TTS, but runs a bit short.
