At Sunset

Wearing: Loft sunwashed tee and floral shorts, J Crew pumps (similar), Kate Spade bag, Fossil watch, Sonya Renee initial necklace, Kris Nations state necklace (california), MAC "Hot Gossip" lipstick

Instead of our usual Friday night going out to dinner or grabbing drinks somewhere, the boy and I decided to watch the day end from a park down the street from our place. There were just enough clouds for the sun to dance in and out of them, creating a soft glow that was perfect for snapping some pictures. In spite of my "no picture taking out in public" rule, I decided to quit being such a baby and just go for it. I think I did get some odd glances from some people taking a stroll, but for once, I didn't care. More of these public displays to come? We shall see...I still prefer the safety of my sidewalk ;)

How was your weekend?!

My Best Friend's Wedding {Picture Heavy}

I think these pictures speak for themselves. I watched my best friend marry the love of her life last Friday, and it was one of the most surreal, beautiful experiences I've ever been blessed to be a part of. It was perfection. I'm next :)

Sunny Outlook

Wearing: Forever 21 top (old), Loft skirt & belt, Guess heels (old), Aldo clutch (old), Gifted pearl earrings.

After my best friend's wedding this past weekend, I wanted to continue the happy vibes by wearing light fabrics, textures, and of course, the perfect feel-good accessory - a yellow clutch. I even wore the pearl earrings she gave to me on the night before her special day. More on that to follow so stay tuned!

Maid of Honor

c/o Pinterest

My best friend is getting married in TWO DAYS! I still can't believe how quickly time passes. It seems like just yesterday that we were planning our bachelorette party, and now she's almost officially Mrs. Clark :)

I've never been in a wedding before, much less a maid of honor. I don't have siblings, but I consider her my sister. This truly is an honor for me to a part of such a special day in someone's life. Although I'm extremely nervous about walking down the aisle, giving a speech, and helping her with anything she may need, I'm also really proud of her. She's overcome a lot of obstacles over the past few years, and she's grown into such an inspiring woman. I may be slightly older in years, but I look up to her. She has a fearlessness that I admire, and I hope to one day grab life by the horns and just go for it. What that is I don't quite know yet, but when I do, I hope I can lose all fear and doubt and throw myself into something like she does. You only live once!

I'm taking a few days off to enjoy her beautiful wedding, but I will be back next week :)

Casual Weekend

Wearing: Express portofino shirt, Target shorts, Sole Society heels, J Crew Factory necklace, Kate Spade bag

I've seen this look on countless bloggers this Summer. Denim shorts or cut-offs, a simple top, and strappy sandals. Now that I'm putting my Sole Society beauties to good use, I thought I'd try to recreate the popular blogger uniform. Other than a trip to the craft store to buy more wedding décor, my fiancé and I took the opportunity to simply relax this weekend. It was much needed!

I hope you all had a relaxing weekend too!

Shoes

Just a quick post for today! I wanted to show you girls some new shoes I got from Nordstrom last week. The booties were part of the anniversary sale, while the strappy heels (although a good price already) were not. A pair for Summer, and a pair for Fall. Both equally cute!

Halogen Katrina Bootie (regular price)

Sole Society Gianna Sandal


While we are on the topic of shoes, here are a few more pairs that look enticing:

Sole Society Anneke Pump

Sam Edelman Sutton Sandal

J Crew Everly Pumps

Ann Taylor Laddy Flats

Have a great weekend!
