Favorites in my Closet and Part of the Shopbop Sale

The Shopbop Spring event started today.  It is a tiered event so the more you spend the more you save.  I wanted to share a few favorites in my closet.  Sizes tend to go fast with these sales so I recommend ordering soon!   Don't forget to use code BIGEVENT16.

I ended up ordering this blouse and these wedges.  A little early birthday gift for myself:)

ONE | Rebecca Taylor Blouse

I love this flirty blouse.   The embroidery is so pretty and I like the ruffle hem.  I am wearing a size 4.

TWO | McGuire Jeans

New favorite jeans.  They sit higher up and suck you in, enough said.  They run TTS.

THREE | Equipment Milla Top

I love the style of this top and the pattern.  Looks great paired with skinny jeans.  I own a size XS, this style definately runs on the large side.  This would be a great pregnancy blouse too because of the looser fit.

FOUR | Mara Hoffman Dress

I own this dress in 3 different patterns I love it so much.  It does run on the large side so I recommend sizing down, I have a size XS.  The fun thing about this dress is you can also knot the from up for a more casual beachy look. 

FIVE | MLM Off Shoulder Blouse

This was just recently restocked and trust me it always sells out fast.   I am wearing a size XS.

SIX| Joie Rankin Blouse

This is such a great blouse for the Spring.   I was finally able to wear mine this week with the warmer temperatures here!

SEVEN | Rebecca Minkoff Finn Cross body

This purse is a recent purse and I am loving it.  The fringe makes for a fun detail and I find this color goes with everything.

EIGHT | Equipment Aubrey Dress

This is the same style dress I featured last week in the blue.  I can't say enough about the versatility of this dress.  You know me and my leopard too, I consider it a neutral! 

NINE | Rebecca Taylor White Blouse

I always love a good white blouse.  I like the faint pattern on this one.  It is on sale right now too:) You do need a tank underneath because it is slightly sheer.

TEN | LeSpecs Sunglasses

These are my new favorite sunglasses and you can't beat the price.  These are a great add on purchase if you are not quite to the $250 minimum. 

ELEVEN | Rag and Bone Newbury Booties and Harrow Booties

This is a great time to buy these booties because they are an investment.  I love both the Newbury and Harrow Styles. They are seriously my favorite booties I wear them all the time and they are so comfortable too!

12 | Sundress Cover-up

I bought one of these cover-ups at the end of the season last year and can't wait to wear it.  It comes in so many gorgeous colors.  Runs large, size down.

13 | Free People Dress

Such a fabulous day dress.  I own this in two colors and have a size small for sizing reference. 

Style Files Vol 4 | Alesya Dinner and Drinks Clutch + Embroidered Dress + Shopbop Spring Event

Today it is such a treat to feature a bag from a local Charleston designer, Alesya.  I have long been a fan of her handbags.  What I love most about them is their functionality.  This has quickly become my favorite clutch.  I find myself carrying it almost every time I go out.  I also love her "work satchel" that doubles as a laptop case as well. You can check out Alesya's other designs here which include a gorgeous wallet and business card holders.

Outfit Details:

Love Sam Dress | Alesya Clutch c/o | Twine and Twig Bracelets | Julie Vos Ring | Rebecca Minkoff Sandals

I really like the fold over style of the purse.  It can actually hold more than you think.  I can easily fit my wallet, keys, cell phone, and lipsticks inside. 

 I use the zippered portion for my phone.  I am always digging for my phone in other purses and I love having a designated spot for it!

You know I love anything and everything embroidered so this dress was a no brainer. 

The nice part is it comes fully lined with a cotton slip, so it is not see through.

It runs TTS I am wearing a small. 

I bought these shoes last summer and I am so glad to see they are back in stock again.   They are not crazy expensive and they are surprisingly comfortable. 

They are available in gold, silver and black.

Back to the dinner and drinks clutch.  

A few details about it I love:

It has an exterior zip pocket for my phone

It has an interior slot for business cards

It comes in 4 gorgeous colors.  I am carrying the saddle but it also comes in vermillion, navy and black.

It is made out of the softest leather.

Also don't miss out Shopbop's new Spring Event just started!  You can save on my dress and sandals which are both from Shopbop!

I rounded up a few other embroidered looks I am loving as well (many from Shopbop so you can save).  I included a few options for the little girls as well. Scroll through to see them all!

Scenes From Our Weekend

Can y'all believe this is the last Monday of February already??  I am not gonna lie I love March. Mainly because it is my Birthday month and it usually means Spring is close.

Friday we had a low key evening in. We did our standard pizza dinner and watched Fuller House on Netflix.  Totally cheesy but I kind of liked it.  John Stamos looked amazing but man what happened to Bob Saget and why was his voice so weird??

Several of you asked about our shower curtain and it is Serena and Lily.

After the kids went to bed I had time to browse my new Chrissy Teigan cookbook and it is so good.  I think I fell in love her a little more.  She is hilarious and loves to eat.  All the recipes look awesome too.

Saturday the kids and I ate lunch at LaTabella.  I love their Bang Bang Shrimp salad. Sterling loves their shrimp too he cleaned his plate.

New favorite Equipment Dress. I love the leopard print and the fit is super cute too.

Saturday night we met up with a few friends at the Yacht Club for happy hour.  We caught the most beautiful sunset.

since it was super chilly on the water I got to wear my new Rebecca Taylor jacket that I scored on major sale. It is also on sale in the shorter version too.

Sunday everyone was up bright and early so I made Banana pancakes and bacon.  I swear my kids ask me to make pancakes everyday, it is their favorite breakfast.

The weather was just perfect, with highs in the 60's so we went on a super long family walk.  We explored a beach near our house and the kids loved it.

Sunday afternoon I went to an hour and half barre class that was a fundraiser for juvenile diabetes. It was a great workout!

Sunday night we grilled out and watched the Oscar's red carpet.   Our new cocktail of choice is vodka with fresh squeezed grapefruit juice.

Wearing my new favorite bling (my cocktail ring is under $45 too)!

I wanted to share a picture of my white dress on that I mentioned on Friday that is currently on sale.

It is fully lined with a cotton slip.  It runs on the large side, I am wearing an XS. Such a fabulous white dress.

Joie Dress

This is the last Beauty Counter Makeup Monday.  Today you get a free powder brush with with your powder purchase. I don't currently use this but I have heard rave reviews about it, so I am going to order it today to get the free brush!

Monday Inspiration

Rick Dean Photography

I often get email requests for people looking for photographer suggestions whether they live here or are visiting.  I have mentioned Rick on here several times before.  As many of you know Rick and Gary are my next door neighbors and they often take pictures of me and the kids for my blog.   They also run a very successful photography business.  They specialize in weddings but they also do so many other types of photography.  They do lots of family photo shoots, engagement shoots,  and newborn sessions as well.  

The best part about working with Rick and Gary is they will immediately put you at ease and make you laugh.  They are amazing to work with, although I may be a little biased because they are my good friends too!   If you are looking for a photographer I can't say enough great things about Rick!  

I wanted to share a few pieces of Rick's work for any of you who are looking for a photographer.
