Home Run // red jumpsuit + platform heels

With baseball season in full swing and fall JUST around the corner, there's no better time to fuse fashion and sports together! Embracing the best of both worlds, here I am rocking a trendy fall-forward look WHILE enjoying America's favorite sport. Am I overdressed? You bet. Was it fun and totally worth it? Of course!

I wouldn't normally recommend wearing heels to a baseball game, but hey, I was going all out here, and platform sandals were just apart of my aesthetic. I love this Gucci-esque embroidered pair because the pop of color and burst of floral is completely unexpected yet totally gorgeous. Start collecting your embroidered pieces now, as the trend is only going to get bigger once fall officially hits.

Baseball-game appropriate or not, this red jumpsuit ensemble is a home run. The pom-pom detailing is so-now while my black & gold accents are perfect for autumn.

I have to point out, although in these photos I'm at a Chicago White Sox game, I'm actually a Chicago Cubs fan through and through. But when you're offered free baseball tickets, you don't say no, am I right?

Thanks so much for reading! I hope everyone has a wonderful week and is enjoying these last few days of summer. Something to look forward to? Two words: FALL. FASHION.

Fresh Dress // off-the-shoulder LBD + fedora

The off-the-shoulder trend just got a fresh new update - and fashion "it" girls are living for it. A hybrid of strapless & off-the-shoulder, this sexy in-between style is modern, trendy, and super intriguing. 

No LBD is complete without an adorable puppy on your arm, am I right? Say hello to my family dog, Cody! Although he LOOKS cuddly, he's barely capable of staying still long enough for a photo.

This is the type of dress that can easily be styled for pretty much any event on your calendar. Here, I paired it with summery white accessories to give it a carefree, casual vibe. I ended up wearing this look out to dinner with my family and then to a Broadway show downtown Chicago. I can so see myself wearing this to a future wedding, cocktail party, or fancy date night too.

Say goodbye to summer! This is my last full-on summer post of the year, which is pretty crazy. Does anyone else feel like summer just started? Next week I'll begin easing my way into autumn with jumpsuits, booties, denim, and all that cozy stuff.

Maximum Advantage // orange maxi dress + metallic accents

Nothing says "August" quite like a sunset-orange maxi dress. Taking full advantage of the season, this particular style is made of linen and features spaghetti straps, which makes it all the more summery and comfortable. 

I wore this dress to a daytime wedding earlier this month. Rather than silver accessories though, I paired it with gold. Either way, this sunshiney, body-skimming dress stood out and was so fun to wear. 

This metallic pom-pom clutch brings a light-hearted youthfulness to my look. I love how the orange puff balls perfectly match my clementine dress. Sometimes all you need is one killer accessory to tie everything together.
