Comfy Spring

I hope you all are having a wonderful week! P and I are in the beautiful British Virgin Islands and have been having such a wonderful time (make sure to follow along with us on Instagram). Today's look is a favorite of mine because it is comfortable and laid back, yet chic and put together. This James Perse dress (which I snagged on sale at the end of the season last year) has been become a staple in my wardrobe and can be worn easily from day to night. It is a perfect piece to transition to warmer weather topped with a light jean jacket. Blessings to you all!

Day 19 'Fall Essentials Challenge'

The "Fall Essentials Challenge' will be coming to an end this week but I'm determined to end the week strong with some really fun looks. This one in particular is one of my favorites, I recently added my final 23rd piece, Old Navy's Rock Star grey denim and could not be more pleased with them. I had to try several styles and sizes before finalizing my selection but it was well worth the time and patiance. The Rock Star's are comfortable and at a price point of $34 (not on sale!) you really cannot go wrong. If you are looking to add some cute, comfortable, and inexpensive pieces to your fall wardrobe I highly recommend making a stop at Old Navy! Here are some things I'm currently eyeing from their latest collection- flannel button down, glasses shirt, poncho, & heels!

Day 14 'Fall Essentials Challenge'

Monday always seems to come one day too soon, especially when you had a perfect weekend! Who's with me?

A and I are over half way through our 23 day challenge and although I love mixing and matching my wardrobe, using only 23 pieces in order to do it has in fact been a challenge. I've had to get creative in my mixing and I've grown to love the look of a sweater (mine is cropped but I love the idea of an over sized one as well) over a dress. My favorite part about this look is the way the sweater plays down the dress making it a super comfy weekend look.

Favorite Things Friday

I'm in love with my Rebecca Minkoff mini 5 zip crossbody bag! It's hard to believe I haven't featured it sooner as one of my favorite things. The versatility makes it a great investment piece,  it easily transitions from day to night and can be used as both a crossbody bag and a clutch.  I have frequently featured this handbag on A&L because it goes with almost everything in my wardrobe. Whats your favorite "can't live without" handbag?
