Rad & Refined Summer Launch Party

I had the most wonderful time at the Chicago Blogger Network Rad and Refined summer launch party event over the weekend. This is what I wore:

Dress: Swap w/ Kaitlyn (Discovery), Shoes: C/O Sole Society, Bag: C/O Just Fabulous , Watch and Silver bracelet: C/O Kristin Hassan, Skull Bracelet and Necklace: Baublebar, Colored stackable ring set: gift, Stackable silver ring set: Shop Jules, Heart Ring: Self Made (I SPY DIY project)

As a fan of not only Rad and Refined but also both blogs Natalie off Duty and Color Me Nana, I was in blogger heaven this night. Truly!

Natalie, myself, and Dylana

There was shopping to be done, drinks to be had, food to be eaten, and photos to be taken! I had my eye on a maxi dress all night and could not stop coming back to it! I'm so predicable. lol

Myself and Jacqueline of Rad and Refined, me totally dorking out with Natalie (or making her think I'm a total dork, however you want to say it ;) and finally me passing out Because I shop too much cards to the girls! Hopefully they will set their closets up soon! ;)

Jessica and Jill of Style Juncture and myself

Delish cake pops from Coco Mori

And the night would not be complete without a little photo booth action compliments of Shutterbooth!

I was so happy my hubby came with me (he got a glimpse of my world), I hope I didn't make too big of a fool of myself as I am a super fan of both Natalie and Dylana, and I am beyond pumped at the new maxi dress I bought! Obviously you will be seeing it soon on the blog! And obviously I needed another maxi dress. No, seriously I did! ;)

Outfit: Ourdoor Party

Jacket: Pepe Jeans, Dress: Threadsence, Bracelets: C/O Kristin Hassan, Ring: Self made (I SPY DIY project), Shoes: Target, Sunnies: Michael Kors

I am loving this shift dress! It was perfect for this outdoor party and when it got cool out, I put on my AMAZING new jean jacket. Can we discuss how pretty this ombre denim is?! It has an awesome wash on it, has a great stretch to it, and well, it's just pretty to look at! ;) I finished the look with some of my favorite Kristin Hassan metal pieces, flats, and a ring I recently made.

Outfit: Just Fabulous Colored Crop Denim

Blazer: Lush via Threadsence, Crop Denim and Heels: C/O Just Fabulous, Tank: Dots, Ring: C/O Kristin Hassan, Necklace: Jewelmint, Sunnies: Michael Kors

Ummm, how amazing are these jeans?! I had no idea Just Fabulous not only had amazing shoes, bags, and jewelry, but also great denim! I went with a colored crop, but they have flare, boot cut, skinny, etc. I strongly recommend you check their denim out. LOVE the fit. They run about a size big so you also feel super skinny as you go down a size. ;) Hey, it's the little things.....

*The winner of the Creme 11 by Yonka Paris valued at a $56 value is: #4

Congrats Amanda! I have passed your email along and you will be notified for shipping information soon! A big thanks to Verve360 for hosting this giveaway!

Outfit: All Dressed up With Nowhere to go

Dress: Eight Sixty via Piperlime, Belt: Threadsence, Shoes: C/O Just Fabulous, Ring: House of Harlow, Necklace: T plus J designs, Gold band ring: Kohls

Is it weird if I tell you this was everyday wear? I seriously wore this for a normal day with the kids. 

Did I feel over dressed? A bit. Did I mind being overdressed? Not at all!
 I seriously think I've found the perfect swap out for days you just want to wear sweats, jersey material maxi dresses!

Also, I am OBSESSED with these shoes! I am such a sucker for a platform heel. ;)

Outfit: Bridal Shower Atire

Dress: Swap w/ Kaitlyn (similar) (similar), Shoes: C/O Just Fabulous, Cuff and blue bracelet: C/O Kristin Hassan, Bracelet: C/O T plus J designs, Necklace: Forever 21 (similar) (splurge), Ring: House of Harlow

So I colored my hair again! As much as I loved the lighter color underneath, it was not what I was going for to begin with and I had these awful blond streaks on the top that were driving me crazy! ;)  I boxed colored it. (I used 2 boxes as I have WAY too much hair for 1 box.) Thoughts?

This is what I wore to my cousin's bridal shower. We had so much fun! Mimosas, brunch, games, gifts, family, friends, and pictures. What more can you ask for?

Outfit: Dinner Out

Top: Banana Republic, Skirt: Swap w/ Kaitlyn (Express), Shoes: Shoemint (similar) (similar), Bag: C/O Just Fabulous, Cuff: C/O Kristin Hassan, Bracelet: C/O T plus J Designs, Necklace: ThirtySomethingFashion Box Service

This outfit put a little spring in my step. You know when you like what you are wearing so you feel good/pretty in it, well, that was me this day. Love the mixing of blue hues with pinks and gold. Now on to the good stuff...

The winner of the EShakti giveaway is: #5
Cacy

Congrats Cacy! I sent your email info to EShakti and they will be contacting you. A big thank you to EShakti for hosting this giveaway and everyone who entered. xo

Outfit: Brunch Atire

Top: Swap w/ Kaitlyn (BCBG), Cami: Dots, Jeans: 7 for all Mankind, Jewelry: C/O Kristin Hassan, Shoes: C/O Just Fabulous

This is what I wore to Mother's Day brunch this year. I rarely wear black pants but I decided I wanted to wear the top Kaitlyn swapped with me and black jeans were the best I could do as far as matching this day. ;)

I super love my new heels from Just Fab, so I was very excited to find that they were tall enough to wear with my pants (yes, they require a 5-6 inch heel, but I love them anyway;)! Beautiful right?! I just love the faux lace up detail and the buckle.

Now lets talk jewelry. Here is me wearing more of the Athen's collection for Passport To Style. How amazing is that ring?! Keep check back at to see when this baby is released (I think it's next week sometime) and in the meantime shop shop shop! This collection is ONLY for sale 2 and 1/2 more weeks and then it's gone for good.

Meeting up With a Fellow Blogger Mommy

Dress, belt, & Necklace: Forever 21 (similar), Jacket: C/O Sheinside,  Clutch: C/O Just Fabulous, Watch: Fossil, 2 set Bangle: T plus J designs, Mediterranean bracelet: Kristin Hassan, Shoes: Victoria's Secret, Stackable Rings: Banana Republic, Sunnies: MNG by Mango

I had the pleasure of meeting up with one of my favorite Atlanta mommy bloggers this week! I have been reading Trina's blog, The Baby Shopaholic, for over 2 years now and was super excited when she emailed me saying she was going to be in town. We met up for dinner and drinks.

I had a BLAST! We talked all things blog, some mommy chat, and laughed our butts off over a few foofy drinks. Since her family is originally from the burbs of Chicago, she will for sure be back again. I say next she's in town we include a few more of our mommy bloggers and fashion bloggers alike for a  fun bloggers night out!

Now can we talk about how stunning she is?! I also love that she mixed a light salmon pant with a black top and blazer. SO CHIC!

Do you ever meet up with bloggers you "know" from online? I ABSOLUTLY love doing this.
