Friday Finds | The White Dress

At the end of this month I have a party coming up called Diner En Blanc.  Dinner in Blanc originated in Paris in 1988.  Now several cities participate in their own Diner En Blanc including Charleston.  It is such a cool event, you don't know the location of the event until the day of and everyone meets at that location to dine outside.  Everyone wears white,  so it has me dreaming me about white dresses.  

A few pics from the Diner En Blanc last year, Charleston friends you can buy tickets HERE.

I rounded up a few white dresses I am loving.  Many of these are part of the Shopbop sale so use code EVENT17 to save through tonight at midnight:)

This is under $100.


This one is under $50.
I love the white but this one also comes in black and coral as well.

I tried on this dress this week in the red and it is super cute. Runs TTS.

This dress comes in so many pretty colors and is only $45.


Such a cute style.


One of my favorite style dresses, also comes in black.

This is one of my favorites, it is not crazy expensive either.


I love the pom pom detail.

For my pregnant friends, I love the line Hatch.  This is a great dress for pregnancy and after.

Such a unique dress.

Shaved Brussels Sprouts + Apple Salad | Shopbop New Arrivals on Sale


The older I have gotten the more I have come to love Brussel Sprouts in any shape or form.  This salad was a recent creation and so good.  If you are still looking for Easter meal ideas this would be a great side dish to serve.  If you make this ahead of time I would wait to add the nuts in right before serving. 
Enjoy!

S H A V E D  B R U S S E L S   S P R O U T S  + A P P L E   S A L A D 
adapted via Food and Wine

- 1 bag brussels sprouts thinly sliced
- 1 fuji or honey crisp apple julienned
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1/4 cup fresh Parmesan cheese
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoons diced shallot
- 2 teaspoons dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice- juice of one lemon
- chopped chives

Finely chop the walnuts.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Lay the chopped walnuts on a baking sheet and sprinkle with salt.  Bake about 5-7 mins- you don't want them to burn so keep an eye on them.  Pull out and let cool slightly.

Combine the brussels sprouts, apples, and parmesan cheese in a large bowl. 
Whisk together olive oil, shallot, dijon, sugar, and lemon juice.  Pour dressing over salad and toss all together.  Add chopped walnuts and chives last.

Obsessions | Shopbop Sale Favorites

The Shopbop Save Big event is going on right now.  Use code EVENT17 to save.  
You can save 25% off purchases of $500+ and 20% on purchases under $500.
All these items are part of the sale.

I have these in the yellow but may have to get another color I love them so much.  They are super light weight and a fun addition to any outfit.
I love the colors of this maxi dress and the side tie detail.

This is adorable.  The pink tassel sleeves and embroidery make it even cuter.

We have a white party coming up and I am ordering this dress to try out!

One of my favorite style suits, so flattering.  I love this pink color.  Such a great time to buy when you can save a little $$.

I recently got these in black and love them. Super comfortable and they go with everything.  Do size up at least 1/2 a size as they run small.

The perfect white blouse and under $70.

I recently wore this and received so many compliments.  I love that it is cotton and can be washed.

This is gorgeous for a wedding or any event.
This is so cute.  I would pair it with white jeans or jean shorts.
I am obsessed with these stripes and colors.

This style Equipment dress is my favorite.  I own it in a few different patterns,  I can't tell you how versatile it is.


I always love Holst and Lee designs.  They are so fun.  This would be great with a maxi or white tee.

Hands down my favorite sandals I have bought this season.  I wear them almost everyday.
This also comes in navy.
Reminds me of the Ulla version but a fraction of the price.

This is a great time to buy jeans, a few of my everyday favorites.   I like all 3 of these because they are high waisted and flattering.
