Have you ever spotted an article of clothing that spoke to you? That is exactly what happened with this summer hat. I have a white sun hat I have been wearing for the past couple of years, but when I spotted this floppy, fabulous hat, I knew it was time to update my hat game!

I love how dramatic this floppy, summer hat looks. It elevated these black and white striped, wide-leg pants for summer, taking it from a regular summer outfit, to something exotic! I’m looking forward to wearing this sun hat with more outfits this summer; as well as wearing it at the beach!

Don’t forget to check out the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! There are so many fabulous fall items on sale for a limited time. You can shop the sale by clicking here.

Warm, casual summer days are here! I wore this outfit on the 4th of July at my Mom’s BBQ. It was the perfect alternative to shorts for a casual summer day. These tie-up flats were comfy, and my go-to white eyelet skirt, which I have owned for two years, was ideal for the weather. It looks like this blue, cold-shoulder top has become a go-to in my summer wardrobe too!

I am so happy I purchased these tie up flats a couple of years ago. They have become a classic staple, and they are so comfortable! If you have been eyeing tie-up flats for the past couple of years, but have hesitated on purchasing a pair, this is a great opportunity to snap them up! Stuart Weitzman has this pair on sale for a limited time at the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. The price is a-ma-zing! If I didn’t already own them, I would buy them in black in a heartbeat! I am little bit jealous that you can get them on the sale.

I have been shopping for fall the past twenty-four hours from Nordstrom Sale, there are so many great deals on on-trend clothing and accessories for the fall season! Be sure to check out my picks from sale here. Or, you can go directly to the sale by clicking here.

Thank you for your support, and for stopping by!

Happy shopping, enjoy summer, and stay fabulous 😉

Comfortable summer maxi dress

affordable petite maxi dress how to style a maxi dresspetite maxi dress for summer blogger mansur gavriel lady bag with petite maxi dress

Pictured: Earrings: Ippolita / Sunglasses: Chanel / Lipstick: c/o Dolce & Gabbana Dolce Rosa / Necklace: old, similar here / Dress: Vince Camuto (wearing petite, also comes in regular sizes-under $100 and avl in 6 colors!) / Bracelet: Kendra Scott / Nail Polish: Chanel Canotier / Handbag: Mansur Gavriel / Shoes: Saint Laurent

One of the most difficult things to find when you are 5’4″ or under, is a maxi dress which does not need shortening! I always have to factor in the cost of alterations when I look at long skirts or dresses. So, when I spotted this petite summer maxi dress, I was thrilled! No extra costs! Love that!

It is always nice to have a lightweight, breathable maxi dress for the warm summer months. I love this dress, which happens to come in both regular, and petite sizes, for the summer. It is lightweight, and extremely comfortable. The style is simple, so it can easily be paired with a variety of accessories. It can also be paired with heels for a more dressy, summer look. I prefer to wear it casually with espadrilles. It can also be topped with a hat! Yes!

The ruched waist adds a little bit of style to the dress, and also gives it shape. I love this dress so much, and the fact that it is petite!  I am thinking of adding it in black, and indigo, to my closet. It comes in six different colors! The darker colors such as merlot and black, will be great for transitioning into fall. The dress can easily be topped with a denim jacket or a scarf in the cooler autumn months.

 This summer maxi dress also comes in regular sizes, so if you love it and are taller than 5’4″ the dress is available in six colors for you too! Love that! It can be found online in both petite and regular sizes here.
