Things I Love

Although by far my favorite season is Fall, there is no denying that there is some wonderful about the slightly lazier pace of Summer days. Life is sometimes so busy that I forget to take time to enjoy the little things I love. Since I am approaching a three day weekend I think it will be a perfect time to enjoy a few of my current favorite things.

Friday Favorites

Yay! It's Friday! We made it through another rough week of work. This time of year things are always a lot busier. Once work is finished on Fridays, they provide a sweet escape from work and work related things (well almost). I looked through the pictures I had saved to my computer and I saw a lot of cute pictures that I haven't used in a post yet. So I decided to do a Friday Favorites post that consisted of some cute pictures from WeHeartIt. So enjoy these cute pictures of random things and enjoy your weekend.



















Have a Great Weekend!

Maxi-Mum Fun

Maxi dresses are elegant and comfortable. They are also great because of the simplicity they provide when getting dressed. Maxi dresses are statement pieces on their own so with just a great pair of shoes and a few accessories you are good to go.

Orange You Glad To See Me

With Spring and Summer approaching invitations to events, such as weddings are going to be on the increase. I love citrus colors for the warmer weather months. They are bright and cheerful. Plus, you instantly stand out in such bold colors.

It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas

My Christmas is going to be significantly low key and casual but if your Christmas is going to be a little more special and formal I think these are possibly three of the most perfectly beautiful Christmas dresses. I love the combination of the silver and white and what's a Christmas dress without some sparkle.

Buckle Down

I have been looking at clothes a lot recently trying to decide on some future purchases that I want to make in the very near future. I noticed that several pieces that I like have buckles on them, which inspired this post. Using polyvore I have made four very cute outfits that have pieces featuring buckles.

Look One
• Bow Belted Mod Tunic $23 forever21.com
• Black Skinny Baxter Jeans $80 topshop.com
• Breanna's 2 Inch Gold Hoop Earrings $39 fantasyjewelrybox.com
• Juicy Couture Purse $58 endless.com
• buckle trim peep toe platform $23 gojane.com

I really like this look because of the bow belt on the top. Also I love the gold buckles on the black shoes!

Look Two
• PS1 Icon Shoulder Bag $1,595 kirnazabete.com
• Silver cluster ball earrings $12 dorothyperkins.com
• Buckle-Accent Kitten-Heels $23 yesstyle.com
• Old Navy Ruched V-Neck Tees $17 oldnavy.gap.com
• Lucky Brand Accessories $48 zappos.com
• AE Dark Skinny Bermuda Short $35 ae.com

With this outfit I love the pattern on the belt and those pink flats with the buckles! I know I have shown those pink flats on here before but I just think they are so cute.

Look Three
• A Study in Contrasts Dress $90 modcloth.com
• DKNYC Jaycie Pump $98 endless.com
• Lona's Gold Charm & Rhinestone Bracelet $43 fantasyjewelrybox.com
• Cluster Ring $33 fantasyjewelrybox.com
• J.Renee Amanda Clutch $85 endless.com

Look Four
• Lucyn's Crown of Hearts Ring $40 fantasyjewelrybox.com
• ROXX Buckle Clutch $34 endless.com
• Grey cowl neck belted dress $95 debenhams.com
• JLo Shoes Delia Heel $60 heels.com

In this second polyvore I adore both of the dresses. The white one makes me think of a special, fancy occasion and the gray one with the black belt I could see myself wearing to work someday. I also love the white clutch!
