If the Shoe Fits...

With the August heat in full swing, I figured it was the perfect time to take some pictures inside, and save myself from the insufferable heat outside. Plus, I've been wanting to share this gorgeous dress with you for a while, and now it's on sale! I love how ethereal it is, and am obsessed with the bold, yet effortless sheer cape. It definitely makes for a great house dress. haha jk! Can you imagine?! Yes, this is me, just casually lounging in my office.

My office is definitely my favorite place in our house. It's my girly retreat, where everything is pink and bubbly. From my accent wall, to this colorful chair (probably my favorite piece of furniture ever), and of course my shoe wall, I love having this extra space all to myself.

It's no secret that I am a shoe lover. High heels, flats, boots, I want them all. From budget finds to designer brands, I love filling my closet with a mix of high and low. I will splurge on pieces that are timeless, and tend to be a bit more conservative, like these black Dior J'adore heels. If something can be worn easily with jeans and a tee as it can be with a dress, then it's a no brainer. I also ask myself before investing in a higher cost item if it's something I can wear now while I'm 30-something, but also when I'm 50.

I love when I come across a good deal, like these cork Jimmy Choo sandals that I found the other month at their outlet in San Marcos .... dangerous territory!!! Whoever said no to something on sale?
I'm also a big fan of finding a designer 'dupe,' like these cobalt blue Manolo Blahnik inspired heels. This is a great alternative if you love the style, but maybe it's more trendy or the color is bold and can't be worn as much, Yes, I may have the real deal, but why not have a little fun and not break the bank. I have the same mentality when it comes to purses, but that needs to be an entirely separate blog post.

I've linked my outfit and tried to link most of my decor, as well. As far as the shoes go, there are too many pairs to share, but if you have questions on a certain one, definitely ask!

Blue & White Stripe Bell Sleeve Dress

How is it already Friday?! After being gone for nearly a month, I got back to Houston on Monday, and have been going non-stop. Even though I was still working while I was visiting my family in Wisconsin, I came home with more on my plate than I anticipated. From countless packages (literally our entryway was strewn with them), to trying to get organized and back into the swing of things, this week seriously flew by. With {a lot} more travel on the horizon, I am trying to balance everything...and keep my head on straight.

Happily the weekend is here, and nothing has me more excited than this blue and white stripe bell sleeve dress from Jude Connally. It just screams refined comfort, doesn't it? The stripe dress also comes in a maxi style and a sleeveless version, which are perfect for summer. 

I know I've mentioned it before, but since I stumbled upon their store in Charleston in March, I have been addicted. Their pieces are on-trend, and great for someone on the go. Their signature material, Jude Cloth (which is what this dress is made out of),  is easy to wash, doesn't wrinkle, and has the perfect amount of give while still being fitted and flattering. The compliments you'll receive are endless. The price point is also great, and their pieces run TTS (I wear an XS in their clothing for reference). 

Whatever you're up to this weekend, I hope you have a great time!

Hi, friends! I hope you're having a great weekend! If you follow me on Instagram, by now you've seen my favorite items from the Nordstrom sale and what I purchased. I wanted to be sure to compile everything on the blog, so that way it's all in one place, and easy to navigate.

I purchased some of these items, and others are on my wish list.

I'm really excited to see how some of these pieces fit, and to get my hands on my cozy Barefoot Dreams blanket, and light one of the Nest candles I ordered.
