Over the weekend Crosby turned two and a half and we celebrated with donuts and coffee at the beach. Does anyone else celebrate half birthdays? She’s obsessed with birthdays right now but doesn’t quite get what a half birthday is. Ha!

I got this dress in the mail last week and thought it would be perfect for a fall wedding. I currently have zero on my calendar so I took it as an excuse to dress up for our outing. Crosby has had this adorable dress from Loveshackfancy just burning a whole in her closet for over a year now. It finally almost fits so she wore it for the half bday celebration. It’s definitely a dress she will be able to wear for awhile since it’s so long. She has another one that’s white and sleeveless that will be just as cute.

Wanted to share a few other dresses I’m loving for fall weddings or special occasions.

• This one is perfect for a night time event. Would even work into the holiday season.
• Love this long sleeved mini. Prettiest colors for fall!
• Love this red leopard print. Would be so cute for an evening event.
• I tried this one on over the summer and was obsessed with the fit. It comes in several colors appropriate for wedding guests and would be pretty for the holidays too.
• If you’re looking for lace, I love this one for fall/winter.

Hope you’re having a good week – thank you so much for reading and following!

If this print looks familiar it’s because I wore the bomber jacket version just a couple weeks back! It’s so light and airy for spring, I couldn’t help but get it in both pieces. This slip dress is so comfortable and easy to dress up or down. I wore it to a brunch a few weeks ago with wedges and a denim jacket but you could also wear it with heels for something fancier. I’ve even belted it for a more fitted look. Love versatile pieces like this.

This mustard floral dress is the cure for any late season blues. Summer has always been my favorite season and I used to get so sad to go back to school this time of year, but now that I don’t have summers off I actually look forward to the little bit of fall we do get. After a couple more months of beach weather without tourists, of course.

Floral and flowy. Say that 10 times fast.

This dress is amazing – and such a steal for under $40. I’m obsessed with the floral pattern and shape and just wanted to twirl while wearing it. Totally channeled my inner five- year-old for a group of golfers who watched us shoot this. #noshame

Now I just need someone to invite me to a tea party or fancy brunch so I can dress it up!

Happy Thursday – thanks for reading!

This dress from Paper Crown’s collaboration with Rifle Paper Co screamed 60’s resort wear to me. It was an obvious choice to pack to my most recent trip to Palm Springs. Like I’ve mentioned, Jeff and I can’t go out to Palm Springs without visiting our favorite hotel and this dress fit in so well at The Parker.

If I were to design a dress to represent that hotel it would be this one. It’s loose, breezy fit is the perfect piece to throw on after a day in the sun. And it looks so pretty when you do a few twirls in it. Because, let’s be honest, when I put on a dress my inner six-year-old comes out and I can’t help but twirl away.
