Dressing Room Finds

Sadly I have been busier then I anticipated with unpacking in our new house and have gotten behind on my posts I have one from the parkway taken this weekend coming up soon. But for now I do want to share a few of my fitting room finds from the past week.  

I am on the hunt for a great white skirt I don't know if I have found the winner yet but I found two at Belk that I did like.

Here is a BCBG white skirt it was very comfortable and I liked how it flowed and that it wasn't heavy and was also fully lined which is a must but i wasn't a huge fan on the seem around my hips which are not by best asset. Found here

 

This was another white skirt I found it is French Connection it has pockets and it a cute A-line shape and also is fully lined but I did not like the stiffness at the waist band it was not very comfortable to sit in. Found here

 

So this is a interesting dress/romper from French Connection, when I originally picked it up I thought it was a dress and not until I was trying it on did I realize it was actually a romper. I am not usually a romper kinda gal but I did like it and it was very comfortable and feminine looking would be great for the beach or a windy place because you wouldn't have to worry about your dress flying up. Found here

 

So here are a few finds from Nordstrom Rack, sadly I can not guarantee that they will have these exact items at the Nordstrom Rack nearest to you but they did recently start a website but it does not have everything on it, I have found that mostly it is the designer brands that I do not see as much on it.

Here are some adorable and very comfortable Tory Burch flats I would definitely recommend here is a similar pair: shoes

 

I found this Kate Spade dress on the clearance rack but sadly it wasn't marked down and more then the other Kate Spade dress I found in the front of the store (60%).  The dress is very cute and I am generally a fan of sheath dresses but this dress had no darting in the back at all so it didn't give me the little hint of a shape I like to see.

I absolutely loved this dress and wished I had purchased it. It fit very well and I like the length a little bellow the knee so you can wear a fun heel with it. definitely lived up to the standard at which I have set Kate Spade dresses upon.

While it Rains, I Shop

Sadly it was a rainy day at the beach so we decided to go into Charleston and catch up on some much needed shopping. 

Here is one if the cutest skirts I have seen in a while from H&M for only $15 !! It is hot pink and a great length just a few inches above the knee. It is supper full and fun to wear the pleats stay put well because the fabric is a heavy enough weight. I would definitely recommend. You can buy  here and in black here.
 
I also got this skirt from J.Crew it is a bit more pastel lime yellow then it looks in the picture. I absolutely love it once again a great length just a few inches above the knee and a great color for summer. You can buy it here I would recommend looking in store it was marked down in the clearance section and a addition 40% off of that so I only paid $35 for it.
 
 
At the J.Crew outlet I found the perfect bracelet to go with my skirt.  I am currently on a mission to expand my accessories collection I feel I need a larger variety to add more depth to my outfits. You can buy it here it is also a better deal in store all of their jewelry was 50% off and then an addition 15% if you are a student. I would definitely recommend checking out their entire jewelry collection I had a hard time not letting myself buy several pieces. 

This is the other piece of jewelry I got from the J.Crew outlet that I am in love with first off I am obsessed with tortoise shell and this necklace is a great length it kind of hits mid chest I have a lot of shorter and longer statement necklaces but this one will add something new to my collection. They do not have this exact necklace on their website but they have one very similar that I also like a lot here.

I am always on the lookout for a great deal on a bag and I ran across this one in the clearance section at Off Saks Fifth. It is a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag that is perfect for the summer and the beach.  It was a steal at only $70. I had been eyeing some of the Kate Spade straw bags she put out this summer here, here, and these are now on sale here, here, and here.

This adorable Kate Spade poncho I sadly did not buy because it is $100 but I do love it. It even folds up into the bow for easy storage in your bag. You can buy it here, I would recommend but not for the price.

Island Adventure

 

We took a walk around the island this morning on the beach, there were a lot of jelly fish that washed ashore. Everything looks so calm in the morning on the beach like its been untouched for hours.

Beach ward Bound !

I saddly have been busy with school lately and therefor have been neglecting my blog. But that that school and finals are over with for the summer there should be many posts coming your way. This summer you can expect posts for my beach trip that I am leaving for and also a lot of Lilly Pulitzer and other Palm Avenue brands since I will be interning there this summer. Here are a few beach packing pictures. My packing technique is you can never pack to much ! I like to lay everything out on my bed and see what I can mix and match and then nicely make it all fit into my bags.
