We already know that leopard is officially considered a neutral - I mean the print goes with everything!! But would you believe it if I told you that Neon is practically a neutral in my wardrobe too? I wear it as much as possible and pair it with everything from prints to leather to fancy dresses. This fabulous necklace is no different.

 

I've been eyeing it for months and finally took the plunge when Michelle Money announced on her instagram that all proceeds from this sale would go to Gia Allemand's memorial/family. Such a sweet gesture for her to do during such a tough time. So I actually paired the neon with (real) neutrals - a silver top and white cutoff shorts were the perfect backdrop to show off this bright beauty.

 

I couldn't resist to add a bit of fall to this summertime outfit though. How fabulous is my camel colored uber clutch from GiGi New York?! Be prepared to see it a lot in my wardrobe because this pebble grain leather beauty is the perfect accessory no matter the occasion.

 

On another note - can we discuss how much I can't wait to get a hair cut... We've booked a trip back to Los Angeles for the first week of October and I can't wait! This also means seeing my amazing hair stylist Ashley at Fringe Salon. She is a hair genius. I wish I could fly her to NC every time I need a hair update...

 

I also want to wish GroopDealz a very happy 3rd birthday!!

TGIS - Thank Goodness It's Summer! I seriously love this time of the year. Any excuse to bust out a swingy white dress and wedges is fine by me. This dress has been a serious staple in my closet going from summer to fall with ease (Here's how I wore it last October) For a July night, I thought pops of pink were just the right amount of flair to add. Plus you guys went nuts over this instagram photo which further confirmed my accessory choices :)

 

Thanks to a giveaway from A Southern Soiree, the company that planned my wedding, Bill & I had a delicious date night a few weeks ago at Dean's Seafood Grill & Bar. 50 cent oysters on Wednesday? Yes, please! We went a little crazy.. okay.. a lot crazy. Just check out our spread...

 

 

2 dozen oysters, a few Basil Grape Vines & an order of muscles later, not only were our stomachs thankful for a night out, but so were we. Have you donned a little white dress this summer? If so, how did you wear it? Happy Monday! xo
