mustard and cheetah

Some things just go together, and I think mustard and cheetah are one of those things. I actually think cheetah just goes with SO many things, but that is a different post for a different day..

My outfit:

I am obsessed with my mustard cardigan. If I could wear it everyday, I would. I got it on sale from Banana Republic on Labor Day, and it is so cozy.

What do you guys think? Would you wear mustard and cheetah together?

Jessica Alba's style

My inspiration photo of the day was this picture of Jessica Alba:

I love the contrast of the bright pink with her leopard print skinnies. SO chic!

Here's how I wore it:

Kirna Zabete

So, Target is one of my favorite stores. For those who do not know, Target has a partnership program where they collaborate with boutiques to create affordable, accessible, and one of a kind products (ranging from beauty to candy to home decor). This is called The Shops at Target. The Shops is similar to a pop-up boutique in that the collaborations are only in stores for a few weeks.

The Kirna Zabete for Target line was finally available this past Sunday!  I, naturally, dragged Rob with me to go check it out. Kirna Zabete is a NYC based boutique owned by two friends, Beth Buccini and Sarah Easley.

What I tried on:

                             
                                   

Ponte Zip Dress for $49.99. dress

I loved this dress, but I felt like it was a little big and loose at the waist. I tried the size 2, which is the smallest size they had and it just wasn't going to work. If it fit me better, I definitely would have bought it!

Knit Sweater in black or pink. $29.99. sweater

This sweater was my favorite thing that I saw in the collection. It was so comfy and cute. It would be perfect for a chilly day. In the above picture, I paired the sweater with leather shorts.

             

Sleeveless button down for $26.99. top

I loved the pattern of this sleeveless top, but I thought the material felt really scratchy. I am sensitive to those kinds of things, though, so could just be me! 

Three things I saw online and liked that were not in the store:

Lace top for $24.99. lace top

Teal skirt for $39.99. skirt 

Blue blazer for $49.99. blazer

The teal skirt would be so cute with the sleeveless button down.




I was just at Target this past Sunday, so they should still have a lot available!

Lazy Sunday

Yesterday, the fiance and I brought the pups on a walk (we also brought Starbucks ;)). 

When I got dressed that morning I was feeling sleepy and lazy, and the weather was very fall (70's and breezy). I just wanted to feel comfy all day. Enter, my maxi dress that I got on sale from Marshall's this past spring (15 bucks!). This dress is my go-to comfy outfit. I paired it with a denim vest to keep me a little warmer, and it really was perfect for the day.

P.S. Don't let anyone tell you that short girls cannot wear maxi dresses! They SO can! Just pop on a belt or vest to give your waist more definition! Or add wedges! I also try to stick to a more fitted maxi, so that the dress doesn't overwhelm me.


Similar to my look:

Macy's AGB dress on sale for $34.99. dress

Urban Outfitters Python Print Maxi for $49.99. dress

wet seal vest for $26.50. vest

It also doesn't hurt to check your local Marshall's!

Engagement Pictures

Happy Friday!!

Today was an exciting day! Rob (fiance) and I had our engagement pictures taken. Naturally, I had been obsessing over what to wear for weeks.

Here are a few tips I came up with for what to wear for engagement pictures:

* Try not to be too matchy-matchy. I think it is best to have one or two colors in common, but try not to wear the exact same outfit.

*Wear something you are comfortable in. If you are comfortable and having fun, then it will show up in the pictures.

*Change your outfit! Wear something more formal, and change into something more casual. Different outfits can add variation to the pictures! I wore a dress in the first few pictures, and then changed into a outfit that felt more "me".

*Bring a comb or hair spray for touch-ups.

*Darker colors tend to be more slimming. That being said, if you love a lighter color, then wear that color! You will feel more comfortable.

*If you want to wear heels, but you are taking pictures on the beach, then bring the heels with you and change into them.

Here is a sneak peak of one of our pictures! You can't really see my outfit in this one, but I love it!

Our photographer was the amazing Crystal Turino of CT Photography.

Have a great weekend everyone!
