Hi everyone!  Hope you all had a great weekend!  Reins had his first soccer game and he did such a great job.  He absolutely loves playing sports so he was thrilled to get back into the season and of course we love watching him too.  The majority of our weekend was spent outdoors...trying to hang onto every ounce of daylight we can get before it starts getting dark TOO early.  As much as I love Fall, I'm not quite ready for it to start getting dark at 5:30.  Hope you all had a great weekend as well!

I've been rounding up my favorite pairs of Levi's denim that I recently picked up at Kohl's and today I am talking about the 524 Bootcut Jean.  I used to ONLY wear bootcut jeans, before I learned to love skinny jeans, and for a period of time after falling in love with skinny jeans, I didn't wear any bootcut's at all.  I'm so glad to be back in the groove with a great bootcut jean...I missed them!  I've always loved how bootcut jeans elongate my legs...after all, I am only 5'4'' so I need all of the help that I can get.  When I tried on these 524's at Kohl's I immediately fell in love...they fit my shape so well (I'm a woman with some hips and bootay!), they are the perfect length, and they are beyond comfortable!  As I mentioned in one of my previous posts, comfortable jeans are a MUST for me and these passed the test with flying colors!

My experience shopping Levi's at Kohl's has been so amazing so today I am teaming up with Kohl's to bring you a $100 gift card giveaway!  We look forward to awarding 1 lucky winner the opportunity to also shop for new jeans!  Entering is sooo easy and can be done through the Rafflecopter tool below.  Thanks so much for entering and good luck!!!

Levi's for Kohl's - The Grey Skinny Jean

| OUTFIT DETAILS | 

GREY SKINNY JEANS: LEVI'S FOR KOHL'S | STRIPED TEE: KOHL'S | CHEETAH WRISTLET: VERA BRADLEY C/O | WATCH: WRISTOLOGY WATCHES C/O (CODE KB20 SAVES YOU 20%) | DISC NECKLACE: JENNY PRESENT C/O | RING: CHARMING CHARLIE | HEELS: KOHL'S

I've been on the hunt for a great pair of grey skinny jeans for some time and I finally found them at Kohl's.  Kohl's is now selling Levi's jeans and if you saw my post earlier this week (HERE), you will know that I ended up leaving with several new pair that I just love.  Levi's may just be taking over my closet now!  The fit of this skinny jean is perfect and the denim fabric is AMAZING.  Talk about comfortable...these may be some of the most comfortable jeans I have ever worn.  They are so soft and they give the perfect amount of stretch too.  This Fall I will be wearing these often with oversized sweaters and booties.

I've also been soooooo impressed with Vera Bradley's new line of leather handbags.  How adorable is this calf hair cheetah wristlet?!  They have really taken their bag game to the next level.  You must check out their new line!  From totes, to satchels, to crossbody's, to bowler, to wristlet's...they have it all and what I love most is that they still add their signature Vera Bradley prints to the inside of each bag.

We are so looking forward to the weekend...it has been gorgeous here in Nashville so I know we will be outdoors taking advantage of this beautiful weather.  Probably spending time by the pool trying to enjoy the last bits of summer.  What are your weekend plans?!

Happy Friday all and thanks so much for stopping by!

TEMPEST PENCIL DRESS

| OUTFIT DETAILS | 

DRESS: TEMPEST c/o | BAG: ALDO SHOES | SUNNIES: MAE CHRISTINA c/o | HEELS (PREVIOUS SEASON)

Typically I prefer to wear loose fitting dresses but when I saw this Tempest "pencil dress", all of a sudden had an urge to wear something more form fitting (well, if we are being honest here...body hugging like a GLOVE!).  I'm loving the color blocking and the detail of this dress (black trim on sleeves the sleeves and scalloped detail at the hip line).  I feel something fierce in this dress and I totally had a #girlboss moment when shooting this look as well!  And how AMAZING is this fun edgy statement necklace from Shop Prima Dona?!  I love the rhinestones and spikes...they make the perfect duo and I also LOVE that it is on sale for $15.00, such a steal!

As always, thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Levi's for Kohl's - The Boyfriend Jean

| OUTFIT DETAILS | 

BOYFRIEND JEANS: LEVI'S FOR KOHL'S C/O| BLAZER: LCLAURENCONRAD FOR KOHL'S | STRIPED TEE: KOHL'S | SHOES: NORDSTROM | BAG: VERA BRADLEY C/O | DISC NECKLACE: JENNY PRESENT C/O | RING: CHARMING CHARLIE | WATCH: WRISTOLOGY WATCHES (SAVE 20% WITH CODE KB20) | EARRINGS: PURPLE PERIDOT

With Fall right around the corner, it was time for me to go through my closet and evaluate my denim lineup.  As you know, shopping for jeans can either be a great experience or well you know...not so great.  Unless you have a very specific brand that you wear and don't venture far from that brand, it takes time and effort to find those perfect pairs of jeans  

I've personally been on the unpleasant side of jeans shopping many times...they are too tight, they sit too low/high on my waist, they dig into my stomach, they are too stiff, they have too much stretch, they aren't comfortable, they are uncomfortable when I sit, they make my hips look big, they make my butt look big, they are too expensive, etc etc.  If  the stars don't align and the jeans just aren't fitting (or they fit but cost a small fortune), I end up getting frustrated and leaving the store empty handed.

That's why I am so exited that Kohl's is now carrying Levi's jeans!  The very first pair of Levi's that I bought was in New York City 2 years ago when I was there for a girls weekend.  We visited a Levi's store and I had the best time trying on various styles/fits (and their customer service was excellent).  I left New York with my first, and until most recently, my only pair of Levi's jeans.  As much as I love shopping at Kohl's, I was thrilled to find out they are now carrying Levi's...FINALLY, I own more than 1 pair of these comfortable AFFORDABLE jeans.  Kohl's has an amazing selection of women's Levi's (they carry men's & children's too) and I had the best time trying on all of the different styles/washes/fits, etc.

The first pair I tried on were these boyfriend jeans!  At first I wasn't sure if I would be able to wear this style/fit because I am only 5'4"and I always thought they would make me look short & squatty but when I put them on, I quickly realized that I could definitely wear a boyfriend jean.  They are so super comfortable and they hug all of the right places too!  Don't mistaken boyfriend jeans as the outcast...if you haven't given them a try, you definitely should!  Kohl's also carries them in a darker wash, which I am now wanting to go back and get because I love these so much.

I'm going to be sharing more about the other Levi's styles that I selected throughout the next week and I would love to hear your thoughts or any feedback on the Levi's styles/fits that you may have tried!

Maggy London Pleated Trapeze Dress

HAPPY FRIDAY everyone!  We have a fun yet busy weekend ahead of us...time by the pool, a birthday party, a girls night out, and an event on Sunday.  After our first full week of new school routines, I am looking forward to quality time with my sweet little family.

Today's post is all about this gorgeous Maggy London Pleated Trapeze Dress.  From the color combo, to the stripes, to the pleats, to the high neckline...I adore everything about this dress.  This dress can be worn so many different ways and for so many different occasions (work, church, date night, an event...the list goes on and on).  As temps cool off moving into Fall...I will be pairing this dress with a light black moto jacket for a night out with my love and with a black 3/4 boyfriend blazer for a work event/church.  This is one of those dresses that will be in your closet year after year...a classic versatile staple!

And I must say, I am absolutely LOVING black & blue together.  These colors compliment each other so well and I love the more edgy vibe that the combo puts off!  Who else is loving this color duo?!
