Did some exploring on the train tracks recently, and loved how the linear industrial looking background contrasted with my ladylike floral wear for the day. I love this dress I got at Urban Outfitters for a number of reasons- its length for my tall frame, its silky material, and the darling scalloped hem and cut out back detailing. I know this is one item that I'll get a lot of wear out of not only during these last days of summer, but add some tights and a jacket and I'm set for fall!

I'm usually not a lipstick wearer, but I thought this outfit called for a fun one. Wearing this bright shade made me feel like a different person- one I'd like to revisit once in awhile. Next week I'll be leaving for a 2 week vacay in Europe, visiting the beautiful cities of Rome, Venice, London...etc. Keep a lookout for outfit and food posts as I adventure through Europe! Come travel with me.

Summer Solemates

I don't know about you, but I am a shoe fanatic. The perfect accent piece or exclamation mark to an outfit, a great pair of shoes never fails to add that little extra oomph. As summer is winding down, I found that I have been reaching for several pairs of footwear again and again these past two months, and I wanted to share them with you! I present to you- my summer solemates.

From left to right:

1) Gladiator Sandals from Baker's:

- These trendy lace-up gladiators were a great find I snatched up around 2 years ago, and have forgotten about in my closet. Luckily, I did some cleaning this summer and rediscovered them! Still in great condition, and I've been having a lot of fun pairing these with maxi skirts and fun accessories. An interesting piece to add to any summer outfit.

2) Tildon Stiletto's from Nordstrom:

- Truly a pair of heels to drool over. The interesting geometric structure, fresh white coloring, and height without discomfort- what else could you want in a heel? I adore these for an edgy yet classic twist to any outfit, particularly to dress up a nice pair of jeans and a bright top. Last worn here.

3) Custom Nike IDs

- A birthday present from the boy, and much appreciated! Only thing better than working out and staying fit is to look cute while doing so, and these great kicks are the perfect motivator. I picked out the colors myself, and you can even customize the logo to your liking. Mine say "Beast" on one shoe, and "Mode" on the other! Make your own here.

4) Nude Sandals from GoJane

- Obsessed with nude everything this summer, footwear included. These classic beauties go with everything, and the ankle strap gives it that extra trend factor. Last worn here. Want your own? Get these lookalikes here!

5) Report Ellenton Sandal

- Featured on my Summer Favorites post, these trusty pair of sandals have been my go-to this summer. The sturdy and comfy leather and the touch of glitter make these the perfect touch of casual chic.

Hope you all enjoyed! What are your summer solemates? Outfit post soon :)

The Long and Skort of It

Sorry for the long wait between posts! I have been extremely busy with the events of summer, and finally got some free time to do an outfit post. This one is easy breezy and perfect for the long hot days of summer. Keeping the silhouette interesting with a Zara skort and sheer top. Add on some killer wedges and I'm all good to go!

Normally I am not a fan of the skort- it always seemed to me as the confused lovechild of a skirt and a pair of shorts, and I would have chosen both the latter over it. However, I was won over when I saw this Zara skort- the interesting geometric silhouette and comfort level made me a convert. No longer reserved for those embarrassing elementary school years- the skort is making a comeback!
