4) Halogen® Ribbed Cashmere Vest | I’m always a fan of a sleeveless cardigan. I’ll pair it with lace camis and long sleeve tees in the fall.
5) WAYF Lace-Up Ruffle Cami | This cami is so cute and trendy. Plus you can start wearing it now in the summer since these types of tanks are meant to be worn year round.
6) Trouvé Menswear Blazer | I’m a huge fan of blazers this season especially when you pair them with shorts to make a shorts suit. I also like to wear them casually with the jeans or cutoffs for an edgy vibe.

7) Thread & Supply Wubby Fleece Pullover | If you can only buy one item from the Nordstrom Sale this year, let it be this fleece pullover. It’s so comfy and cozy! I’m actually wearing it right now as I write this post because our hotel room is freezing. You’ll probably see me wearing it around my house all fall long!
8) Vince Alora Mule | This mule is so flattering on that I had to go both colors! The heel is super high so it’s perfect for someone who is petite like myself.
9) Marc Fisher LTD Yentia Chelsea Boot | I have purchased the Marc Fisher Chelsea boot for the past two fall seasons because they’re so sleek and flattering with the pointy toe. This will be my third year and I got them in three different colors because I wear them that much!
10) Caslon® Faux Shearling Jacket | I’m so glad they offer this adorable shearling jacket in an XS because it’s so cute and cozy, but it’s definitely oversized so be sure to size way down!

Wayf always makes the best strappy tanks like this ruffle detailed one!
I also love the Zella Live in Leggings because they’re such great quality for the price. I always stock up on them each year during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale!

How To Wear Wide Leg Pants
Hey everyone, today I’m sharing how to wear wide leg pants for summer with Ann Taylor. When it comes to wide leg pants, waist lines are key especially if you’re petite like me. I like to pair mine with cropped tops or a shirt that will show off my wist line. If you want to go with a looser top, you can always add a belt. Don’t get me wrong, in some cases, loose flowy tops look great with wide leg pants, but that combo tends to swallow my petite frame so I like to stick with waist accentuating tops. As for shoes, a nude heel will always elongate your legs, but they also look great will mule slides and pointy toe booties in the fall.

Outfit: Wide Leg Marina Pants, Sleeveless Camp Shirt & Lemon Silk Skinny Scarf c/o Ann Taylor | Similar Nude Heels
If you’re hesitant but you want to slowly ease your way into the wide leg trend, I highly recommend going for a chic monochromatic look like I did in today’s blog post. It almost looks like a jumpsuit and gives off an effortlessly chic vibe.


For today’s look, I could have tucked in my sleeveless shirt and added a sleek brown belt, but since I didn’t have one, I decided to unbutton the bottom two buttons and tie the front to show off my waist. I styled my all white look with some flattering nude ankle strap heels and added a tiny pop of color with this skinny lemon scarf.

Summer Outfit Hacks with Ann Taylor
Hey everyone, I hope you all had a nice weekend. Today I’m sharing a fun Fourth of July outfit idea with Ann Taylor that is sure to keep you cool on this hot holiday. The temps have been in the high 90s down here in Louisiana lately, which makes it so hard to get dressed in the morning considering you don’t even want to put clothes. Unfortunately, no clothing is not an option so I’ve come up with a couple of cute outfit hacks to make getting dressed a little more enjoyable in this extreme heat!
1) The Scarf Top
My top favorite summer outfit hack is the “scarf top.” I love converting full, lightweight scarves into stylish cropped tops during the summer time. I found this floral embroidered scarf at Ann Taylor and it just so happens to be 40% OFF right now with code: MYSTERY
What is your favorite summer outfit hack? See how I’ve worn a scarf as a top last summer here—> Two Ways To Style Pants in the Summer Time


I love me some slide sandals especially when they’re hot pink! I scored this pretty pair from Ann Taylor for 40% OFF! A pink pair of sandals is the the perfect way to add a fun pop of color to any summer outfit.

2) Bring on the shade!
One of best ways to protect your face from the sun other than SPF is with a stylish summer hat like this pom pom Fedora.

3) Make a “cool” statement in all white!
Did you know that white and light pastel colors actually dispel heat instead of absorbing it? So not only do white monochromatic outfits make you look effortlessly chic, but it also helps keep you cool too?
If you love all of these ideas, make sure to head over to Instagram for a chance to WIN a $1,000 shopping spree to Ann Taylor to spruce up your summer wardrobe!

Diamond Band Stacking 101
Hey everyone, I know I’m missing Wedding Wednesday by one day, but I’ve been traveling nonstop and I owe you a blog post on diamond band stacking! As most of you know, I recently got married this past spring and I’ve been getting so many questions about my engagement ring and diamond wedding bands so I’ve teamed up with Diamonds Direct to answer all of your questions that you’ve submitted!


Your diamond band questions answered:
When is it appropriate to start stacking?
I think it’s appropriate to pick out two bands you love stacked together when you’re shopping for wedding bands with your fiancé, and you can choose to purchase them at the same time or you can have the second one already picked out for a future anniversary or for the birth of your first child.
Also, I think it’s totally appropriate for you to pick out stacking bands for your right hand that you can purchase for yourself. You don’t have to be married to wear diamonds people! Also, you don’t have to wait on someone else to buy them for you! I love treating myself to investment pieces when I accomplish some big at work or in my personal life too.

See this full post here—> 3 Reasons to Take “Day After” Wedding Photos!
How did you choose your bands?
I picked out my two Henri Dausi wedding bands at Diamonds Direct. They had the most amazing selection of wedding bands. I swear I tried on 324,848 and I loved them all. I was finally able to narrow them down to a few before I left the store and continued to narrow them down on the Diamonds Direct website. I ended choosing the R6-7 in rose gold with shared prong set round brilliant diamonds and the R23 featuring round brilliant pavé set diamonds. with my engagement ring. I also chose an additional diamond band for my right hand.

How much do additional bands cost?
Fortunately, Diamonds Direct offers a wide variety of prices so you can purchase wedding bands for as low as $300 and mix them with other bands in a much higher range. They cater to all budgets!

Where do you keep all of your bands?
I always get so many questions about my jewelry travel case where I keep my bands and I love these two—> Pale Pink Jewelry Box & Red Travel Jewelry Case
I love using them both, but the Pale Pink jewelry case fits a little bit more while the red travel jewelry case by Mark & Graham is more compact and convenient when it comes to traveling. See the red below!

If you’re engaged or looking for a gift for a newly engaged friend, I highly recommend one of the personalized leather ring boxes from my exclusive #hauteoffthemarket wedding collection.

See more about about my wedding collection here—> GiGi New York x Haute Off The Rack Wedding Collection

Where is your engagement ring from?
My husband bought it from a local jeweler in Covington, Louisiana.
