C.Wonder Sale!

Hello all! I feel like every post I begin with, sorry for the lack of posting. I think I have been in my apartment a total of 3 nights this whole summer. Anyway, I am so excited because this weekend I am celebrating my birthday which falls on a Monday this year unfortunately. Lots to look forward to and hopefully new posts, including outfit posts, to come.

I wanted you all to know that right now C.Wonder is having a 50% off all sale items (in stores and online). I just picked up 3 items that would have cost me $140 and it only cost $35! You really can't be that. The code for the additional 50% off is: HOTHOTHOT. If you are late to the game and wondering, who is C.Wonder?! ... it is none other than Tory Burch's ex-husband, Christopher Burch. The preppy, classic style mimics that of Tory Burch at a fraction of the cost. Check out below the items I picked up at the C.Wonder sale. Click here to be brought to all the great sale items.

Are there any great items you found on sale? Let me know in the comments section below!

Style Crush: Sequins and Stripes

We all have a fashion crush. Someone who we look to emulate and dress more like, who's fashion sense is very similar to our own. Well for me, that is Liz from Sequins & Stripes. She posted a picture on Instagram the other day of an adorable outfit of which I had all the ingredients to imitate. I've said this before, but it is so fun when you see an outfit someone has on that you not only love, but that you have items in your closet already that can make it your own. Below you will find Liz's cute outfit, and my own re-creation.

Have you ever imitated a blogger's outfit? If so, who? Let me know below!

Summer Escapes

Well in case you were wondering where I have been for the past week (or two....), I was enjoying the lovely Cape Cod/Nantucket sun for a few days off from work. I have barely been on a computer for a week which was a much needed break. The weekend before last, I got to explore Newport and Jamestown as well. I've been feeling a little spoiled with all my time in the sun and outdoors away from the city. Here are some highlights of my June/July weekends. Hope you enjoy!
