Happy Monday lovelies!! Was your weekend good? Mine was pretty low key but still amazing. I'm a pusher.. you know like Ms. Norbury was [accused of being] in Mean Girls? Let me explain.. I finally got Bill as addicted to Scandal as I am. Like, we binge watched the entire third season starting Friday night and finished Saturday at 11 PM. Sick, right? But it's just so. damn. GOOD. Someone needs to come up with a "What Would Olivia Pope Do" graphic tee. Like STAT.

Anywho... let's talk fashion. I know this outfit is composed of mostly older items, but I've found some almost identical versions for you to shop (like this skirt or this top) I love tweed skirts because you can sport them starting towards the end of summer, and all the way through the beginning of spring. They're good for work (like this outfit) or play and can be worn with pumps or tights and boots (hello winter!) Plus I happen to think the circle skirt shape looks good on lots of different body types! What do you think...?

The 4th of July is typically a low key holiday for us. We usually spend it at the beach in bathing suits but it seems like Hurricane Arthur has a different plan for us.. boo! Let's hope he passes by real quick.

For some reason I don't feel like going all out for the 4th this year- so I picked a more low key and subtle way to rock red white and blue. A little red lipstick, a little blue nail polish and the comfiest pair of jeans I own. I plan on eating lots and lots of turkey burgers tomorrow. Thank gosh for boyfriend jeans.

What are you doing for the 4th?

Runway to Realway: Rose Gold Metallics

 

Although this trend has been brewing for a while, the Spring/Summer 2014 runways were a full blown explosion of Rose Gold Metallic details. This gorgeous sister of Yellow Gold was sprinkled and sparkling on everything from structured minis to sheer trousers. The shiny hue is a bit softer and slightly more feminine than a harder gold making it's rise to popularity quick and fast. Even the makeup artists and hairstylists at Jason Wu were hopping on board. How fabulous is that pink gold cuff on her sleek ponytail?

 

I've been wearing this trend for a while (ummm yeah I'm kind of obsessed) but be prepared to see it in every store, on everything and everywhere over the next couple of months. And if you don't want to wait until Spring, here are some of my favorite items and fabulous budget finds to get you started on your new love for rose gold now:

 

J. Crew Pink Metallic Mirrored Pumps // Nordstrom BP "Flash" Mirrored Aviators in Pink // Ginger + Liz Investment Piece Rose Gold Glitter Nail Polish // Mural Rose Gold Sequin Shrug (one size fit & on sale!!) // Michael Kors Rose Gold "Camille" Watch // Rebecca Minkoff Quilted Mini Affair Mini Bag // Jennifer Zeuner L.O.V.E. Rose Vermeil Post Earrings //

Nasty Gal Afterglow Rose Gold Chain Belt // Pim + Larkin Rose Gold Sequin Mini Skirt (on sale!!)

 

How have you been sporting your rose gold? I hope every way possible!
