O U T F I T  D E T A I L S  :  OPEN BACK TOP  |  URBAN PLANET SHORTS (SIMILAR, WANT THESE) |  AE BRALETTE (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS)  |  WRAP CHOKER NECKLACE

I know I've been talking about Fall a lot lately, and I realize that can be a little depressing for some--I think this might be the first year I'm excited for Summer to come to an end just to bring out some of my new Fall finds. 

However, today isn't about Fall, today is about Summer and making the most of it with your wardrobe.  I'm a sucker for open back tops, as you know, so this one was right up my alley (an am seriously contemplating getting it in black as well).  Since the nights tend to cool off, this is a perfect piece for evening or even a breezier day, since the open back keeps you cool.  

I love the look of long sleeves with denim shorts--it balances things out and you can pick and choose what you want to show off.  Finally, bralettes have been a staple in my wardrobe this Summer; who has time for a real bra on weekends #notme #tellmeimnotalone  They're easy, comfortable and best of all, look pretty when they peek through.




Happy Monday ladies, how was your weekend?  Mine seemed to involve a fair amount of food and not much else, according to these photos!  Ha, but anyway, the photo above was from a night during last week, but wanted to share.  My bestie and I went out to celebrate her birthday and had a great meal outside--I love taking advantage of the Summer nights and dining al fresco, small life pleasures!

On Friday night, we got Uber Eats--what else is new?--and decided to try a new Vietnamese place that was on the list and omg...




Happy Friday ladies!  I'm back with another round of Forever 21 picks--I was at the store last night and the Fall stuff is starting to arrive, but I also found some super cute pieces to wear now and later.

I'm still loving boho looks, chokers, high-waist denim and athletic wear.  I'm super stoked they brought back that open back workout top--which I already own in grey--because it's so flattering, and I find they are hard to find, so I had to scoop it up in the burgundy colour.  

The top above is actually from the curvy line.  Did you know they make totally different items for that section?  Although I'm usually a medium in most stores, I'm lucky if a large fits at Forever 21--their stuff runs so small!  So, I always take a quick loop around the curvy side to see if anything strikes my fancy, plus I love flowy pieces.  I love this pretty top with the high-waisted denim as it's on the cropped side; would make a great date night look.

More fun pieces after the jump...

O U T F I T  D E T A I L S  :  DRAPEY VEST (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS)  |  ROMPER (SIMILAR, LOVE THIS)  |  SUEDE CHOKER  |  BAG (BUDGET FRIENDLY, LOVE THIS)  |  LACE UP HEELS (ALSO HERE)

Still Summer loving over here but will be shifting gears to more Fall outfits soon so wanted to share a really great transitional piece and how to wear it now while the temps are still soaring.  The drapey vest or sleeveless trench is such a great piece for layering over a romper, body hugging dress or even denim shorts and a cami.  It's again one of those great third pieces that just looks chic without trying.

When temperatures drop, I'm planning to pair this with a thin knit sweater and skinnies or over a long sleeved dress with boots.  You can even try pairing it under a shorter jacket like I did back in the Spring.




"Casual Friday" calls for elevated denim with heels and a bag that fits almost everything--I love it so much I have it in black as well.

Later that evening, we headed to Kingston to spend the night with Marco's family...
