Before signing off for the weekend, I had to mention a few incredible sales going on right now. Some are nearly black friday-level!
Take 25% off site-wide, no code needed! I really can’t believe this. Now is a great time to stock up on all the candles for all of your gifting needs, and maybe a cute sweater or two for yourself!
Today is the last day to take advantage of the Shopbop fall event sale! Take 15%-25% off site-wide with the code FALL20 on new, gorgeous styles. Check out my guide to the sale here!
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend! I have a few finishing touches to make on the house (namely, re-hanging my blue and white plate wall!) and can’t wait to share all the details soon!
While it’s a stark contrast to my latest outfit post, this casual ensemble is a far better representation of what I’m actually wearing on a day-to-day basis. And although it’s far more suited to everyday life than a striking evening gown, you may notice a common theme… the dress!

I’ve always preferred dresses over anything else, be it jeans, leggings, or even shorts. The Exercise Dress by Outdoor Voices has become my new go-to, especially in the ever-mild climate we have here in Florida.
What do I love about it? First off, how comfortable it is! What may surprise you is that the dress is lined with what looks like a unitard. (HA!) But it’s incredibly comfortable. I do recommend wearing a sports bra underneath, though!
I also love how simple and classic the cut is. Nothing fussy or fancy… just a timeless silhouette! The fit is spot on as well. Flattering and fitted, but not at uber clingy. For size reference, I’m ordered my usual size, an XS.
This dress sells out quickly, but is restocked time to time in lots of fresh colors. I was lucky enough to score a hunter green and navy dress just in time for fall! Thinking about adding black to the collection to, based on how much I’m wearing these.
The final thing I’ll say about the Exercise Dress is that you can style it in so many ways. Granted, it’s always going to be a casual look, but wear it as-is or layer over it with a tee and/or sweatshirts for a bit more coverage and warmth. Can you tell I’m just a bit obsessed?

Another closet favorite you’ve heard me talk about again and again is my Barrington tote. This is my newest piece… the St. Anne zippered tote in Oyster Grey Geometric! I love the muted, neutral colors and the blocked monogram. Barrington is hosting a 15% off sale site-wide today with the code PUMPKINSPICE! Sales are rare from Barrington, so I recommend taking advantage!
While scouring the web for wedding-guest-worthy styles for this blog post (check it out if you haven’t already!) I came across one dress in particular that I was especially wowed by… this gorgeous green evening gown.

Something about it was so unique and special, and, with it’s draped sleeves, dramatic neckline and deep green hue, a bit different from the styles I’d been seeing page after page. I decided to order it to see for myself if it was just as pretty in person!
Spoiler alert: it is… and then some.
If you have a special event you’re looking forward to, I cannot recommend this lovely dress enough. While $200 is still what I would consider expensive, I think it’s a pretty incredible price for this gown… in person, it looks much more pricey!
I first spotted it fully in-stock last Thursday. Not even a week later, sizes are nearly sold out from Nordstrom! The good news is that you also may have some luck finding it in your size here, and restocks are sure to happen… so keep your eyes peeled! The good news is that it’s also available in a beautiful blue as well!
I can’t remember the last time I’ve put on a gown, and it was nothing short of special to put one on again and remember what it feels like to get dressed up. Here’s hoping for many reasons to wear it soon!
It’s here! It’s here! Shopbop is hosting their big fall event, where nearly everything site-wide (including new arrivals) is on sale for up to 25% off. Click through for all the details.
It’s here! It’s here! Shopbop is hosting their big semi-annual sale, where nearly everything site-wide (including new arrivals) is on sale for up to 25% off. Here are the details!
Over the years, I have strategically used this sale to purchase higher-priced items that are, to this day, true closet-staples. Take the Stuart Weitzmanheels I wore to my rehearsal dinner, for example, not to mention more than a few cocktail dresses for special events.
I love budget-friendly buys more than most, but if there’s ever a wise time to purchase a higher-priced, special item you’ve had your heart set on, it’s during this sale.
As you’re shopping, I thought it would be helpful to share a few brands I’m loving that rarely go on sale. Be warned… there’s lots of pretty below!
I have had my eye on Alexandre Birman for months now. There’s something so sophisticated and sweet about the beautiful bow detailing that adorns many of their styles. I haven’t been able to make myself pay full price, and I’ve found that this brand hardly ever goes on sale. That’s why I’m so excited to see them included in the Shopbop event! I may or may not have grabbed this cute pair I’ve been loving for months.
As someone who wears a lot of dresses, I’ve always loved the flirty, fun silhouette of MISA creations. Since the price tag is higher for a more casual dress, I’ve only ever purchased one. (For my honeymoon, in last year’s Shopbop sale!) But I’ve been drooling over this perfect white dress for months, and am so happy to have scored it for 25% off! Planning on wearing it with sandals in the summer and booties with a jean jacket this fall.
I was slow to jump on the headband train, but now that I’m on board I have no intention of hopping off anytime soon. Lele Sadoughi was one of the originators of the trend, and while her headbands are a bit pricier, they’re worth every penny. I included some fun, fresh styles below, but this classic black number is easily my most-worn. Highly recommend! Don’t sleep on the earrings, either. Just bought this pearl bow pair!
If you love all things bold and beautiful, you’re going to love Stine Goya. I can’t help but feel happy taking in the vibrant, fun styles this brand creates! Since Stine Goya pieces definitely come with a higher price tag, this sale is a great time to grab a piece at a discount. How fabulous is this pink dress?!
I’m fully convinced that Stuart Weitzman shoes are worth their weight in gold. Yes, they are a bit pricy, but the gorgeous quality and timeless styles are worth it in my opinion! I actually purchased the sky-high “Nudist” style in black a few years ago during this same Shopbop sale event. To this day, it’s one of my favorite shoes! (Not very comfortable, mind you, but beauty is pain right?) I ended up buying the same style in beige for my rehearsal dinner. If you’re looking for a timeless shoe you’ll wear to every fancy event ever… look no further! P.S. The “nudistsong” is a lower heel and much more comfortable!
Whether or not you’re shopping this sale, I hope these perusing these pretty pieces are a fun way to start your week!
Love from the Sunshine State,
Kate
P.S. I had to mention that the smocked dress I received countless questions on earlier this summer is back in stock! I love it so much that I just purchased it in red.
Today, I’m excited to share my favorite new arrivals to hit the web from this past week! From tweed headbands to pink dominoes, I have a feeling there’s at least one thing that will put a smile on your face!
For some reason, and I can’t really put my finger on it, this week was the best one I’ve had in a while. It’s been a tough year for everyone and between weather blues and Flynn’s run-in on our walk last week, an odd month or two for me specifically. But something about getting up early, playing soft music, drinking hot coffee, spending time reading the Word, and talking to God in the dark hours of the morning has set up each day to be so peaceful.
I haven’t really don’t anything exciting.I haven’t reached a certain goal or accomplished some great task, but I’m just feeling so thankful and content after a week of sweet normalcy. It’s the little things!

Whether you’re coming off of a wonderful week or are just trying to make it to Saturday, I’m sending you lots of love and best wishes for a restful weekend!

P.S. I mentioned that I started this book this week. I’m only 6 chapters in, and I’m already amazed at how much I’ve learned/realized about my thought life. Highly recommend!
Since perpetual sweater-wearing can get old fast, I love finding pieces that have something unique to them. In this case, I’m obsessed with the sweet hemline on this ruffled sweater. Such a special touch!
I recently had the best luck with an order I placed from Anthropologie. Since it’s one of the few stores I actually prefer to shop in-person as opposed to online, I often forget to click over to it. So happy I decided to “venture” over (albeit virtually) because what I found was a fun, fresh and oh-so-adorable selection of sweaters… including this gorgeous camel ruffled sweater!

The “one size only” sizing caught me by surprise, as I wouldn’t necessarily claim that’s true. While it’s definitely roomy, it does hit rather short. (I’m 5’2″ for reference!) While I know it’s not everyone’s cup of tea, I personally love the “cropped” length trend as long as I have on a pair of high-waisted jeans.
So, in a nutshell, I love this unique sweater! Oh, and to give you a sneak peek at the other pieces in my order, check out this gorgeous scalloped sweater and this fun pink number. So cute, right?!
