coral crush.

I wore this beauty c/o the super cute Sugar Love Boutique to a wedding this past weekend and I couldn't have been happier with my outfit choice.

I fell in love with the Lily dress the second I put it on.  How could I not?  The color is to die for and just look at the detail on the back of the dress!  And I'd be lying if I said I didn't cause a ruckus on the dance floor with that swooshy hi-lo skirt. ;)

And there's more where this pretty dress came from.  To get your own and peep the rest of their pieces check out the fab Sugar Love Boutique and use

coupon code "HELLOGORGEOUS" for 30% off!

keepin' it casual.

To be perfectly honest, I've been running late all day today.  In fact, I'm late getting ready for a wedding RIGHT NOW!!  But, what am I doing?  Blogging.  Oy vey!
Anywho!  I know I've shared some of these outfits lately, but I really wanted to make a post with strictly casual-wear that I've been wearing in the last couple of months.  And since we've had an unseasonably cool Spring/Summer, most of these outfits will translate well into Fall (and maybe even Winter!).

Enjoy your weekend, Loves!!

getting to the point.

I seem to be having a (very extended) moment with pointy toe pumps.  I just can't get enough of them!  

Years ago I was very into this trend and then I gave it up for a more rounded look.  Now I'm open to every shape-- as long as the heel is high enough!  What can I say, the higher the better. ;) 

And last Spring when Prabal Gurung collaborated with Target, I bought two pointy toe pumps from the line and I'm still thrilled.  Great buys just keep on giving!
