Pink Party Dress

 Dress c/o // Similar Heels (1), (2), (3) // Handbag // Similar Rings (1), (2) // Nail Polish

I really believe that every woman's closet needs that one fun party dress that just makes her smile. This Shabby Apple dress is definitely that piece for me. It has a very "Kate Spade vibe" (without the KS price tag!) and it fits like a glove. Such a win!

Since I am usually in work wear, when I do step out of the corporate fashion bubble, I like to really break from it. I, therefore, love choosing bold colors like this bright pink. I definitely plan on wearing this dress to a few day time parties this summer.

When I do break out a stand out piece like this dress, I try to keep my accessories neutral. I picked up these Kate Spade low strap mary jane's at Winners a few weeks ago and I can't get enough of them. They are the perfect compliment to any bold outfit (work-day wise or party wise).

It poured rain here all weekend so a lot of my fun weekend plans got rained out. It definitely did not leave me in the best head space to start this work week, but, I am trying to start today with a positive attitude (and a very large cup of coffee). Here's to a great week ahead!

Spring Colors at the Office & a Giveaway!

Similar Blazer // Pants // Blouse // Heels // Similar Bracelet // Similar Midi Ring // Similar Handbags (1), (2), (3) // Phone Case c/o - 20% off for the next week with code "BLONDE20"

It can be hard to incorporate spring colors into your work wear when so many of your base pieces are black or grey. To bring spring into your work look go for light accessories and roll your sleeves if, like me, you have to wear a blazer! I also love to incorporate spring colors via my tops. I love the peach color of this top and the peter pan collar makes it stand out.

I also love my new phone case! I created a custom iPhone case with Case App and had a blast doing it. As a travel addict, i wanted a map of the world and I wanted to make it personal. I decided to put a heart over each of the places that have a piece of my heart. Some of the people I love the most in this world live far away. Every time I look at my phone case now, I get to smile thinking about my loved ones (& the great places they live!) 
 

I get to give away a coupon code to one lucky reader for $40 to Case App - enough to make your own iPhone or laptop case! Open to residents of the United States and Canada, 18 years or older. For full terms and conditions see this post. Good luck!

Style Inspiration: Amal Clooney

I'm so excited to be sharing the second post in my "Style Inspiration" series; (you can see the first one here). When it comes to corporate chic, and looking like a fashion goddess while taking the professional world on by storm, there is no one greater than Amal Clooney.  

I have been following Amal's style for a while now, and one of the outfits that always stood out to me was this all white suit she wore last year to meet the Greek Prime Minister. I have always shied away from suit sets that are anything but black or blue. Something about the matching effect always felt very 1980s. This suit inspired me to throw that rule out the window & get myself a cream suit. 

Similar Suits: 1, 2  // Bracelet c/o (20% off w/ code LegalLee) // Handbag // Heels // Similar Sunglasses: 1, 2

Amal is quite minimalist when it comes to accessories. Inspired by her, I matched her look of black pumps, a black handbag and bold sunglasses. I did however add one simple, gorgeous bracelet to accessorize the look. I love the 'old fashioned' look to this bracelet, and I think Amal would approve haha.

Thanks for checking out today's post and I hope to see you back here on Wednesday!
