Summer is the quintessential time for hosting get togethers and what better way to send off Summer with a rooftop crab boil! While we do our fair share of hosting, we had never done anything like this before, so when Marco invited 15 of our friends over, I quickly got to planning!
First we set the menu, aside from the crab, and then it was time to get down to the fun part: the decor details! I headed out to Place d'Orleans and explored several of the home stores and so began the planning of Crab Boil 2016...

O U T F I T D E T A I L S : BOMBER JACKET (LOVE THIS) | TEE (OLIVE GREEN, MORE COLOURS) | RIBBON CHOKER (SIMILAR) | SKORT -- OLD (SIMILAR, SPLURGE) | PS11 MINI CLASSIC BAG (SIMILAR, BUDGET FRIENDLY) | LACE UP FLATS
Bomber jackets are everywhere right now, and whether you love them or not, they are definitely here to stay. I picked up this crepe one and had a hard time choosing between colours--I'll share the other colour I got soon--because they are all so cute.
Since we are still in the swing of Summer, I paired mine with an easy skirt, plain t-shirt then spiced things up with a velvet choker and my fave lace up flats. Denim shorts would be a great alternative, if you're looking to show some leg.
Also, I'm back to blonde! After growing out my hair for almost two years, I finally went to someone new to bring up my balayage and brighten around my face at the end of June. Well, I left looking like either (1) darker than before but way more blended, or to some (2) pretty much the same. I lived with it for a month and it just felt too brunette so I went back and she went very blonde. I'm finally starting to get used to the blonde again, but won't be touching it for a while.
It's Monday and can you believe we are coming up on September?! Hard to believe the Summer is nearing a close. And while I am excited for Fall and the fashion, I will take a few more warm nights, please.
I wanted to share a sneak of a dinner we had last Thursday, although not technically the weekend, I'm sharing anyway! We hosted 15 of our friends for a Crab Boil on the rooftop and it was so so so fun! I'm going to be sharing a full post on the evening with all the details in a few weeks, but how stunning is that sunset?!
PART TWO TOP -- OLD (SIMILAR, SIMILAR) | DARK DENIM SKINNIES | FRINGE BAG (LOVE THIS) | LACE UP FLATS
Happy Sunday ladies, hope you're having a great day. Yesterday, I went out of town, which you may have see on Snapchat (acoest1984), to celebrate my cousin's bridal shower--more tomorrow in the Weekend Recap. So today I'm playing catch up and wanted to get a Deals post up for you.
There are tons of great sales online right now, including Nordstrom, where they've marked down tons of stuff, including a few pieces that were from the Anniversary Sale. So, without further adieu, let's jump in...
O U T F I T D E T A I L S : SWEATER -- ON SALE! | SUEDE WRAP CHOKER | HIGH WAIST SHORTS | FRINGE BAG | STEVE MADDEN LACE UP HEELS (LOVE THESE)
Happy hump day! Half way through the week and today I'm sharing one of my favourite ways to wear shorts: with a long sleeve top and heels--perfect for date night or cocktails with the girls, this look is comfortable, elevated and still chic.
I recently picked up this sweater and am in love, and bonus, it's super on sale right now (like over 75% off). I also grabbed it in black because, you know, go to. It's thick, well made, with snug fitting sleeves. I love that it looks great tucked into shorts but have also worn it with a pencil skirt and dark denim skinnies. I did size down, as I find the line runs a little roomy.
