We went for a simple pink lemonade picnic! No food involved! We used my Beach People round towel as the picnic blanket and carried the acrylic serving set in the straw beach totes.

We garnished our pink lemonade glasses with fresh lemon slices and adorable pink flamingo straws from the Dollar Store to match the lemonade pitcher. We also brought along our sun hats and a polaroid camera for extra fun.

Pink Ruffle Dress

I’m willing to bet that you have five events that you could wear this little pink ruffle dress to this summer or I could at least name five of my own: my friend’s baby shower, Sunday Brunch, best friend’s engagement party, bridal luncheon and a play that I’m going to with my grandmother next weekend! Bam!

Good Morning readers, I hope you’re all enjoying your weekend. I had so much fun staying in New Orleans on Friday and Saturday with (Krystal) A Pinch of Lovely at the AC Bourbon Hotel. I don’t think we ever stopped eating the entire time. It all started at Sucre in the French Quarter when we felt compelled to stop for gelato and macarons before dinner and then we scarfed down 10 different tapas with friends at Baru on Magazine St. The next morning, we waited 25 minutes in line for iced coffee and beignets at Cafe Beignet on Royal St. followed by pizza at Domenica for lunch before heading out.

Dress sizing info: I am wearing an XS in these photos and I still have plenty of extra room since it’s a shift dress. It runs a little on the shorter side, which is perfect for me because I’m only 5ft, but I definitely wouldn’t describe the dress as too short. Also, I always think that if you’re wearing a dress with long sleeves, it’s totally acceptable to go a little shorter in length.

Breezy Summer Dresses

You know that feeling you get when it’s so hot outside in the summer that even just the thought of putting clothes on your body makes you want to crawl out of your skin. I would much rather hang out in a swimsuit and cover up all day. Unfortunately, that’s not always an option, which is why I like to fully stock my summer wardrobe with plenty of lightweight dresses and rompers. Easy summer dresses and rompers are key to surviving the Louisiana heat and humidity. I just added this flowy wrap dress by Yumi Kim below to my breezy summer dress collection.

Good Morning readers, it’s crazy how fast this week has gone by since Monday was a holiday. I’m not complaining though! Just one more day until the weekend!

About this dress: I don’t think I’ve actually ever owned a wrap dress before, but I’ve always admired their feminine and classic silhouettes. However, I didn’t originally choose this dress because it was a wrap dress. I picked it out because I loved the vibrant Caribbean Paradise print, which is exactly why I also bought it in this romper too–> Mckenzie Romper. It’s so fun and tropical looking! I know I have issues! I just can’t get enough printed summer dresses and rompers.

Summer Must-Have: White Dresses

Little white dresses are a must for summer! They’re so fresh, chic and easy to style for summer soirees! I love boho white dresses with lace or crochet detail the most, but there are so many different styles of white dresses you can rock from sleek and sophisticated to effortless and boho.

Hi everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend. Today, I’m sharing one of my favorite trends that I love every summer: white dresses! The one I’m wearing in today’s post is from Chicwish and under $55, which is such a great price for a timeless ivory lace dress. For sizing, I am wearing the XS, but it does run a bit snug in the chest so I recommend sizing up if you prefer more room in that area.  Shop more beautiful white dresses from Chicwish below!
