Happy Monday fam! It's been awhile huh? Honestly, I just really needed a little mental blogging break. The past few weeks have been CRAZY busy for me and I just haven't had it in me to sit down and write a post. I feel like it's not a bad thing to take a little break to reset every once in awhile, right? Although I definitely feel like I'm out of the swing of things. Taking these pictures was SO awkward. It's funny how taking a little break from being a blogger can really throw you off your game. 

So how has everyone been? What did I miss while I was gone? I'm sure I missed all the Nordstrom sale posts which I'm not tremendously sad about. It's so hard for me to shop for fall clothes when it's almost 100 degrees out here and I know the soonest I'll be wearing them is November. If I'm lucky. Instead I'm sitting here shopping for all the shorts and cute tanks like this little bright yellow peplum number. I was never really sure if I could pull of yellow but I loved this color so much I figured I might as well go for it and while I wouldn't say it's going to be my number one go-to color now, I definitely don't hate it! I'll do my best to return to my regularly scheduled programming (i.e. blogging more consistently again) so bare with me while I get back into the swing of things! 

Happy Wednesday dolls! I don't know about any one else but after a short week like last week, this week seems like it is seriously dragging. Last week this was our Friday but now we still have two more days to go and I am definitely feeling it. And it doesn't help that I've been just as busy this week as I have previous weeks despite not launching our site yet. I was hoping this week would be slow but no such luck!
Ok, enough work talk! I feel like all I've been talking about lately is work but with all the sales this weekend I had fall fashion on the brain. It's still incredibly warm here on most days so I haven't been able to enjoy too many fall trends but off the shoulder and cold shoulder things are definitely top on my list! I bought this top towards the end of spring and only got to wear it once before it got to hot out to wear so I was super excited when I saw it was back in stock this fall! It was just cool enough on Thanksgiving to break it out again and I took full advantage. I really wanted to wear something super comfy on Thanksgiving so I could eat all the food but I still wanted to look put together and this top was the perfect choice. I paired the top with a pair of white jeans but to dress it up a bit I topped off my look with my comfy black heels.

Happy halfway through the week day! I am definitely digging this short week thing. It feels even shorter with my offsite meeting all day yesterday but I do have a lot of catching up to do for work since I've been out of the office for the past four days.  I know traditionally Labor Day kinda marks the end of summer and beginning of fall but it is definitely far from fall temperatures down here. We did get a taste of some slightly cooler weather for a day or two but it's easily back up in the upper 80's again so I'm still living in "summer" attire. 

However, this dress is definitely the perfect transition piece for summer to fall for me. It's casual, comfy and you can easily throw on a jean jacket and some booties to make it more "fall" appropriate. You're not going to believe where I got this cute, casual dress either... Abercrombie! Abercrombie is the one store in the mall (when I actually go to the mall) that I usually breeze right past, not paying it a bit of attention but lately they've been enticing me in with cute outfits in the window. That's exactly how I came across this dress! At first I wasn't sure how the knotted waist would look but it's more flattering than I thought it would be and I love the olive color. I kept it pretty casual with this look, pairing the dress with my Converse while I ran errands and did some shopping. What's your favorite summer to fall transitional piece?

Woohoo! Humpday is here and that means I can officially start looking forward to the weekend. Ok, let's be real, I was looking forward to the weekend on Monday but at least the end is in sight now. I'm seriously on the struggle bus this week, the week after vacation is always the hardest. No amount of caffeine seems to help. But comfy outfits always make rough days a little more bearable.... right?
This outfit is definitely comfy and one of my favorite to beat the heat we just can't seem to shake down here in Florida. When I left Wisconsin on Sunday it was 55 degrees with a high in the upper 60's so coming back to Orlando to mid 90's was definitely a major shock to my system.I mean, an almost 40 degree temperature swing in just a few hours is enough blow any one's mind. So what's a girl to do when she goes from a high of higher than the low temperature all in one day? Throw on a cute pair of shorts, a comfy tank and suck it up, buttercup! Although I have to admit, I'm definitely missing the cooler, drier temperatures. I think as much as I hate to admit it... I'm ready for fall! Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on how you look at it) I won't be seeing fall weather for several more months so you can find me in shorts and tank tops until then!

Happy Tuesday loves! Hope everyone's week is off to a great start! I am still fighting this cold but I'm already feeling much better compared to the past few days. Thanks to Facebook's "On This Day" I was looking back and realized I get sick this week a lot. I don't know what it is but it's the fourth time since 2007 I've been sick this week with the worst being in 2009 when I got swine flu. It must be something in the air this time of year or something! I was just bragging last week about how I haven't been sick in like 6 months so I guess I really should have knocked on wood, huh?
Ok, enough about this stupid cold. Let's talk about how I'm still obsessed with all things tasseled shall we? There's something about tassels that just make me happy so when I saw this shirt I knew I had to have it. From the lace up neckline to the embroidery, everything about it was screaming me and when I saw it was on sale for under $20 I couldn't pass it up. It's flowy enough to stay cool on a hot summer day and it looks super cute with shorts or jeans. Excuse my hair in these pictures, we were out running around before taking them and of course it started raining on us so my hair is half curly, half straight and mostly frizzy but that's the joys of summer in Florida!

Happy first day of June! It's officially my birthday month although my birthday isn't until the very end of the month so I have some time. I still haven't figured out what I want to do to celebrate but since we took our annual Keys trip early this year (usually it's right after my birthday)  I'm thinking I might as well do something fun. Maybe it's time to take advantage of one of the fun resorts we have around here with an awesome pool and just spend the day relaxing. Funny that I'm already thinking of spending the day relaxing when I just got back from a vacation where all we did was relax!

Speaking of vacation, this is such a great vacation outfit! I am obsessed with this tank top and wear it on constant repeat. The material is so soft and lightweight, it almost has a suede feel to it and the lace up detail is such a fun/sexy twist. It's a little low cut for me so I like to wear it with a bralette peeking through but I think that adds to the fun of the shirt/outfit. I kept this outfit pretty casual with my favorite cutoff white denim shorts, some cute sandals and of course a Panama hat to keep the sun off my face. It's so bright down here in Florida that even with sunglasses on it can still be super bright so I love keeping a hat with me so I don't have to squint all the time. No one wants crow's feet around their eyes, right ladies?
