Tootsies

Dress: Forever 21 // Bag: Louis Vuitton (similar here) // Booties: Bamboo (similar here)

On Sunday I got to brunch and shop at one of the most beautiful stores I've ever walked into, Tootsies in Buckhead (auto correct appropriately tries to change that to Bulkhead...I hate the traffic). I always love meeting and mingling with other bloggers, but this was something extra luxe and special. Something about mimosas and Rebecca Minkoff will just get you up in the morning. They carry all of your favorite luxury brands, but they have a great sale rack too! I snagged this pair of Elie Tahari slacks for work on the cheap. 

This cutie above is Taylor Stone of The Stone File. She's from my hometown, and if you're into sassy southern style blogs with a big of edge, Taylor is going to be one to watch.

Ladylike Leopard

Dress: Eliza J // Bag: Kate Spade (similar) // Heels // Sunnies // Lips: MAC Red

I know I'm a little late in posting this, but this leopard print Eliza J dress was my favorite thing I got in the big Nordstrom sale a few weeks ago. It's still available online, just at the regular price. I love a good, comfortable work dress and when it comes in a fun print like this one, that's just a bonus. Even better: it's machine washable! I've never bought anything by this brand before, but they've got some fantastic work and cocktail dresses in adorable colors and prints. Since I'm working full-time now, I'm definitely going to need some more easy work clothes. I'd love to hear any suggestions on where to shop for workwear for a formal-ish office.

Tied with a Bow

Dress // Wedges: Jessica Simpson (back in stock!) // Necklace: Kate Spade // Bag: Kate Spade, old (similar, also love this one)

I know I've worn a lot of chambray before, but this off-the-shoulder ruffle dress is different! It's really comfortable (I kind of hate tight clothing) and the top is so feminine that I paired with bow-embellished details, like this Kate Spade necklace, just to keep the theme consistent. Off-the-shoulder ensemble have been everywhere this summer, and I think the ruffle trend is likely to continue into fall. Plus, if you're not particularly comfortable showing off a lot of skin, this might be a good trend to try if you're looking to dabble in something a little bit more daring without being overly revealing. My wedges are actually back in stock for the first time in a while, which I was not expecting to happen. They come in black, the luggage color I'm wearing, and nude. Better get em while you can!

Date Night Black & White

Top: Urban Outfitters, similar here // Skirt (black & cream on sale for $20!) // Heels // Clutch

I'm back!!! After almost a month-long hiatus from blogging the bar exam is finally over! Matt and I got to go on a date last weekend for the first time in forever. If you live in the Atlanta area and love sushi, you absolutely have to try Miso in Edgewood. They have the best sushi in town and their cocktails are worth the trip by themselves. 

This skirt I wore on our date night is on major sale right now and comes in black and cream lace. I think it's a really versatile piece for the end of summer and into fall. By August and September I'm always really into finding anything I can wear now and later. I love a mini that works for hot weather and can be worn with tights as it gets colder. I can't wait for fall outfits this year!
