For as long as I can remember, the "shabby chic" style and colors have always stood out to me, and I long to decorate a home {and my wardrobe!} in that style. Below are a pair of sandals I picked up last summer from H&M that have that perfect dusty rose shade I love so much. I typically wear these with a white or neutral color dress, and I absolutely plan on wearing them all the way through September! {Similar here and here}
Although I am beyond excited for fall weather {and FASHION}, I am trying to soak up the last month of official summer. Below are a few summer accessories and beauty products that I will use as inspiration for my fashion choices the next few weeks - white and lots of brights! {Image via Local Milk here}

Of A Kind is one of my favorite online sites to find unique fashion and home good items, and this recent limited edition release by The Stowe {here} is just what I want {NEED}. It is the perfect everyday tote by a Toronto-based designer, Molly Spittal, who knows all things leather, and comes in two shades, Camel and Mocha. There are only 50 of this kind so grab it while you can, and shop more items from The Stowe {here}!
The slip dress reminds me of 90s fashion, which I am so glad is coming back; I love the minimalist approach to fashion, and the slip dress is the perfect example. Below is how I would style this darling dress - black leather accessories, coral nails and lips, and a fabulous ring!

I did a post in July {here} about summer beauty products I love, and today are a few more - most importantly sunless tanner! This Estee Lauder product {here} is my go-to for last minute self-tanning since I wear sunscreen often and always attempt to avoid getting burnt. And as always, a few summer nail polish shades - Essie's "Turquoise and Caicos" and "Naughty Nautical." What are you favorite summer beauty products?
I love few things more than a white dress for summer; whether it's fitted and preppy, or long and flowy, a white dress is always chic to me. Below is an image via Late Afternoon blog {here} that inspired this post and kind of makes me wish for an eternal summer:

Sometimes I feel like I can look at a runway collection and think, "no one will EVER wear that" and wonder what the point is; my favorite collections are usually the ones that are unique and edgy, but still have pieces that a woman can actually use in her wardrobe. Naeem Khan's Spring 2014 line may not be everyday wear, but it is glamorous and the gowns are truly stunning. Every now and then you have to just appreciate the drama and glamour of the runway! {Image via Style.com here}
