Outfit Post: Sunday Fall Brunchin'

We made it to Friday folks! I don't know about you, but this week has felt long and I plan to thoroughly enjoy the weekend. One of my favorite weekend activities to do with Bill is brunch. But let's get real.. I also really love a good Brunch Outfit!

Ideas on how to dress for fall when it's warm

The Impeccable Pig "Collide" Slip Dress (still available online!)
Target Chambray Button up (old but similar budget option)
Sole Society "Heather" Ankle Booties (so old but love these at DSW. Use code OCTOBERFUN for discount!) 
GiGi New York "All In One" Clutch (gifted)
Flash Tattoos (ummm my new obsession) || Swell Caroline Anchor Bracelet (gifted) || Caravelle New York Gold Watch (gifted) || Vintage Sunglasses (similar option) || Maybelline Vivids Lipstick in "Fuchsia Flash"

Last Sunday we headed to one of our favs, Joule Coffee, which has the best tasting cappuccino in town! I was also still rocking my flash tattoos from last week's Game Day outfit (which is coming soon and I can't wait to share) These tattoos are my new jam you guys. I've been wanting a real tattoo (see my pinterest board) and these have been a nice fix for now! I LOVE them. 

We're at that point in the seasons where it's cooler in the morning, but still gets warmer throughout the day. This is my idea of a "transitional outfit." I love this dress from The Impeccable Pig and I don't plan to stop wearing it just because summer is over. To combat against the temperature changes, I paired my frock with ankle booties and tied a chambray shirt around my waist, to throw on in the early morning or later evening hours. So 90's I know, but I'm really into that whole vibe right now.

What are some of your transitional dressing tricks? I want to try some of this season :) Leave them below in your comments. Happy Friday! xoxo

New Obsession: dress Raleigh Resale Boutique



After we made the move to Raleigh, I have to admit I was kind of nervous about shopping. I know that sounds silly and I don't mean to sound snobbish, but there were so many cute boutiques in LA that I frequented. I knew I'd be able to find items that were unique, different and pieces that not everyone would have.

Well, I've been pleasantly surprised by several stores here in Raleigh. One of them being dress, an upscale resale boutique. And ladies, let me just tell you... the owner, Pam Mullaney, has some of the best taste I've ever seen. dress is a fabulous concept - born from both Pam's love for fashion, and a desire to give women the option of dressing not only well, but at an affordable price point. Something I think we can all appreciate, am I right? In other words, it's the perfect mix of new and like-new. You can even buy straight from her social media pages. Yes, really! Read on to find out how...

New merchandise

Initially starting out on eBay, Pam's business has now evolved to a gorgeous space on Wade Avenue in Ridgewood Shopping Center (I mean check out those lights!) The front section of the store consists of new merchandise. Items that are on trend, unique and at super budget friendly prices.

Articles of Society is a new brand that dress Raleigh is a big fan of

The rest of the store is pre-owned designer clothing. And let me just tell you... Pam knows what she's doing. She doesn't just buy anything that comes through her door. She's crafted an amazing inventory, which to be honest, doesn't stay on the racks too long before it gets snatched up. Her everyday brands include J.Crew, DVF, Zara, Calypso St. Barts, Tory Burch, Rag & Bone, Tibi, Missoni, Vince... the list goes on! (follow them on instagram and Facebook for up-to-the-minute new arrivals!)

Some of dress Raleigh's most popular brands include Diane von Furstenberg and Tory Burch
Just one of the many Designer Consignment sections of dress Raleigh.

Her newest venture of the store has been dress Luxe. Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Oscar de la Renta, Chloe, Christian Dior, Matthew Williamson, Christian Louboutin... basically name a dreamable designer, and

Outfit Post: Leopard & Camo & Sparkle, Oh My!








The Impeccable Pig "Gatsby Top" (still available online!)
Zara Camo Print Trousers (old - similar option on sale at Macy's and love these from The Loft)
Target Leopard Print Loafers (old - budget friendly similar option or splurge on these from J.Crew) 
Sole Society "Smythe" Sunglasses in c/o || Michael Kors "Bradshaw" Watch || J. Crew Pave Link Chain Bracelet || Sally Hansen "Cinnasnap" and OPI "Goldeneye" nail polish || Maybelline Vivids Lipstick in "Electric Orange"

P.S. It's seriously a total coincidence that I'm carrying some Starbie's in today's outfit post, which actually falls on National Coffee Day. I guess I just have good timing like that.

Last week you guys went crazy for this outfit on instagram, which is proof that mixed prints is still totally "A Do." And while I don't think I'll ever get tired of a mixed combo, it's nice to know that camo and leopard can still get some action together (it's one of my favorites) I know you guys love my loafers, but I'm telling you, these flats are a dead ringer and such a good price! Don't wait on them - I wear mine year round and with everything. 

I've been awake since 2AM this morning, Just couldn't sleep. I think I was still wired from my amazing weekend. I went to the NC State - Florida State game here in Raleigh. We tailgated, drank beer and couldn't have asked for more perfect weather. It was such a close game and NCSU put up a good fight, but thank gosh we pulled it out in the end. I also wore one of my favorite #BADxGameDay outfits so far. (Here's a sneak peek) Can't wait to share the full look with you!

Hope you guys have a lovely Monday! I am doubling up on the coffee today fo' sho! xoxo
