Off-the-Shoulder Dress 9.14.2016

Dress: c/o Skylar Belle | Bag: Zara

Ankle Boots: Seychelles (similar here & here) | Choker: Urban Outfitters

I'm keeping things extra short & sweet because today is CRAZY, but this is the perfect little black off-the-shoulder dress because it can be styled up or down! The fabric is just right where you can easily dress it up with heels and a clutch, or dress it down with sneakers (how I wore it for some shopping this past weekend). It's quickly become one of my favorite dresses!

I hope you're having a great week!

Simple Midi Dress 8.02.2015

Dress: H&M (sold out; similar here, here and more below!)

Bag: Vince c/o Shopbop | Sandals: Steve Madden (sold out; similar for less)

Bracelet: Margaret Elizabeth | Lipstick: MAC 'Hot Gossip'

I mentioned this dress in last week's midi/maxi dress post, as well as this Instagram post, but I absolutely love it! It's the perfect go-to dress to slip on for so many different occasions. Not only is it super comfy, but it's slimming and goes with any kind and color of accessories. Much to my chagrin, my exact dress sold out over the weekend before I got this post up, so I found you several nearly identical options below. 

What I love about this classic and flattering style is that it's simple to throw on when it's hot, but it also makes an amazing layering foundation heading into fall. I just bought a super long cardigan the other day that will look adorable over this with booties and a hat, and I also love this cut of dress with a classic jean jacket.

The Rest of San Francisco 7.15.2015

Outfit 1
Dress: H&M (purchased in-store; online in 3 different prints) | Sandals: Steve Madden via Nordstrom (sold out; very similar)
Sunnies: Free People (come in 6 colors for just $20!) | Bag: H&M (similar in blush)

Outfit 2
Dress: H&M (old; similar for $15!) | Heels: Steve Madden (similar here, here) | Earrings: Lisi Lerch

Our second day in San Francisco we sadly didn't do much because we were recovering from the theft (i.e. sleeping in after a long night) and shopping to replace some essentials (pants/shorts! haha) that we lost. That night we did have my cousin's rehearsal dinner on the patio of an epic Mexican restaurant called Nopalito (the 9th St. location) - I highly recommend eating there!

Our final day we did a little sight-seeing and a lot of eating in the morning and early afternoon (La Boulange is delish, by the way) before changing and heading over to my cousin's wedding at the Presidio. Their reception was held at the Presidio Social Club (the last few photos), and it. was. gorgeous. Beautiful arrangements and decor, delicious food (the best salmon I've ever had), flawless wine, and the overall perfect atmosphere. It was such a fun wedding! Not only were we reunited with all of our cousins (who we rarely see all at once), but it was just a great night of dancing and celebrating! Side note... My cousin and his wife both dance at San Francisco Ballet (seriously), so they and all of their friends were incredibly regal and make me look like a complete lame-o on the dance floor. Fortunately, it was nothing a couple of glasses of wine couldn't solve :)

I was originally going to re-wear a dress from our own wedding festivities, but when my coordinating accessories were stolen, I was so grateful that I threw this simple but elegant black dress in my bag! I'm pretty sure I only paid around $12 for it at H&M in NYC last summer, but my goodness what a great $12! It's so versatile, and when in doubt, a little black dress is always a 'do.'

Little Black Dress 6.04.2015

 Dress: June & Beyond Boutique (can order over the phone or Instagram, TTS | most similar; obsessed with these here & here)

Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Heels: Steve Madden (similar here, here)

Earrings: Lisi Lerch | Bracelet: Margaret Elizabeth | Lips: MAC 'Vegas Volt'

In my opinion you can never have enough little black dresses! They're just so versatile and so fun (yes, black is 'fun' for me :)). I added small pops of color with my earrings and lipstick, but other than that kept things super minimal - just the way I like it. This dress is from my favorite boutique, June and Beyond, and you can order it over the phone or through email/Paypal! They have all sizes available and I'm wearing a size small. The wonderful thing about swing dresses and strappy dresses though is that it takes so much guess-work out of what size you'll be. I could easily have worn an XS or medium in this too because all of the straps are adjustable. I also linked to several LBDs below that I found online that are all effortless and so cute, and can of course be dressed up or down :)

Unfortunately, these don't all show up in black in the photos, but they do all come in black if you click through! Also, half of these are under $35!

LBD + Crave Boutique Giveaway 3.19.2014

 Dress: Crave Boutique c/o (just $24!) | Heels: Steve Madden (similar)

Bag: Rodi Boutique | Bracelet: Crave Boutique c/o

I'm so excited to be partnering with Crave Boutique today for a style collaboration and giveaway! I absolutely love this store because they're located in Missouri and everything in their store and online is under $50! I couldn't pass up this fun take on the little black dress. The cutouts make it unique, and the cut is so flattering. One of my favorite things about LBDs is that they are the perfect palette for adding in fun accessories like my purse & bracelet.

I nearly squealed when I saw they got these amazing Reece & Blair stone bangles in. They have them in 5 different colors and I'm obsessed with all of them. I chose one in 'Lily' because lavender/lilac is my favorite color (and wedding color), and today we're giving one away in 'Rose'! These are becoming a huge trend, and that pink will be such a cute pop of color in the spring and summer.  

Mine:

LBD 10.06.2013

 Dress: Asos (on sale!) | Heels: Target

Clutch: vintage (love this one) | Bracelet: freshwater pearls - gift

Earrings: Francesca's

This is just a simple dressy look I put together with my new LBD from Asos! It's on sale for only $23, so snatch it up ladies! Sometimes it's nice to have a dress that flows away from the body a bit...ya know what I mean?

I took a few days off from posting because I got to be a part of my best friend's wedding! It's was an absolutely beautiful ceremony, and Haley looked so incredibly stunning. She married a fantastic guy named Cameron, who is a marine officer, and they are truly a perfect match. After having a long distance relationship for so long I'm so happy that they'll finally be together, even if it means she is now moving to North Carolina (so bittersweet).

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!!

little black dress. 7.07.2012

Dress: Madonna Dress - Black from Sabo Skirt. Wedges: Mossimo from Target. Necklace: Aldo Shoes from last year (lots of other cute ones here). Earrings: Target. Gold seashell bracelet: vintage. Gold sparkly ring: a birthday gift. Nails: "Splash of Grenadine" by Essie (which I got from Apothica.com!)  

Last weekend my boyfriend Trey and I celebrated our one-year anniversary and this is the outfit I wore for the date we went on! Being a college student in Missouri, I don't exactly have a ton of occasions to dress up for all the time, so I love getting a chance to dress up! And you can't go wrong with a little black dress, right?

I've been wanting to purchase something from the Australian clothing company Sabo Skirt for quite awhile now because their stuff is just adorable! I first found out about them through their blog, which is both amazing and inspiring (the girls who own the company and their model are all Gorgeous and have fantastic style). They have SO many gorgeous things on their shop right now and I'm especially loving this dress and this skirt! 

Hope you are all having a fabulous weekend!

xo,

Jacy
