Post-Valentine's All-White Detox

I don't know about y'all but I have officially over-dosed on sugar, pink and glitter. I love Valentine's Day, but my eyes are going crazy from seeing all the fluffy red hearts and sweet sappy notes everywhere from Instagram to TV. So, I rounded up a collection of my favorite clean and simple white outfits and home decor photos, to serve as a palette cleanser of sorts. You're welcome.

Don't you feel better? ;)

Now bring on Spring!

Enjoy your weekend dear ones!

Inspired Style // Black + White

This week's Friday's Fancies is all about black and white style. The first thing I think of is stripes! I find that I'm consistently reaching for this chic combo because it's so easy. And I still feel classic and classy. The key to sprucing up this simple duo of colors is to add lots of accessories that compliment not compete. In my styled outfit, I chose small pops of royal blue, leopard and gold....the perfect accents. 

Do you wear black + white or is it too boring for your personal style?

How do you jazz it up?

hope you have a fabulous weekend! 

see ya back here next week for some fun love inspired posts

style inspired // black & white bedroom

Happy 2nd week of September! Temperatures have cooled down a bit here in the South, especially at night. It's slowly but surely starting to feel like Fall! Isn't it fabulous?

Today, I'm starting a new series called Style Inspired. You may remember the posts that I've done in the past where I translate rooms into an outfit. While I definitely draw fashion inspiration from interior design, I realized that inspiration really is all around! So those posts are transitioning into the Style Inspired series. I'm so excited to kick it off with one of my favorite color combinations, black and white. These week's inspiration comes from this gorgeous black and white bedroom. The cool clean lines with just a touch of edgy sophistication from the black walls. Love it.

And even more inspiration from Pinterest!

Here's a look at the outfit I styled based on the bedroom above

budget friendly & splurge options to get this look:

wishing you a week full of falling leaves, pumpkin spice lattes & scarves

I think white is the perfect color for summer...cool, crisp and breezy. 

There's something a little classic and sophisticated about it too.

Are you wearing white this summer?

I (finally) have no plans...looking forward to relaxing & cleaning

back to basics :: black + white

As I get, ahem, older...I find my style simplifying. I'm drawn to the clean and sophisticated look of black + white, in all areas from home decor to fashion.

There's just something about this combination, it's instantly chic and pulled together.

These looks seem so effortless yet so stylish.

are you loving it too? 

or is it too boring for you?

hope it's a lovely day,

How perfect are these little white dresses?
{and I couldn't resist throwing in the drawing from Inslee}

I've been obsessed with finding appropriate & stylish summer wear and the LWD is definitely a staple for warmer weather.

Aren't you so proud of me, wandering outside of my all-black comfort zone :)


do you own a LWD?
what's your summer go-to?

happy Monday dear ones!

{friday's fancies} winter white

This week's Friday's Fancies are all about winter white.

The first outfit that comes to mind, every time, is Jennifer Lopez's gorgeous ensemble in Maid in Manhattan. Remember that movie?!  It's the perfect, classic white outfit.

Simple and chic. I absolutely love it.



How are you wearing winter white?

Big thanks to you all...this blog is so much fun because of you!

And a special welcome if you're visiting from

Friday's Fancies, so lovely to have you here today!

to those of you celebrating Christmas this weekend, I hope it's merry & bright

{dream home} coffee table scapes

You all know by now I've been planning and dreaming about decorating my condo once I return to the US.  I've been posting about it a lot lately!  Some of my ideas have been a little questionable, I admit.  My latest obsession over the weekend was coffee tables.  For now, I'm leaning towards an all white living room weaved with metallic and shimmer and a few well-placed objects of color.  Sometimes I think I want a white coffee table and then I quickly change my mind and think maybe metal, or a lucite trunk, or a tufted ottoman?! 

These are some of my favorite looks:

{fashion files} wintery white

I don't think there is anyone who still believes you can't

wear white after Labor Day.

But just in case you do think that...please, don't.

This is the perfect time to wear wintery white--your skin still has traces of a

summer glow and the classicly chic color pops against the warm tones of the season.

And there's something a little softer about winter white, it's not as harsh as its bright summertime sister.

My favorite accents for white: a creamy caramel, a tawny taupe, or a luscious nude.

Top it off with a dash of black or leopard.  And as a finishing touch: gold accessories.

Done and Done.

How do you plan to wear white this fall and winter?
