It's almost fall which means it's almost time to whip out those flats! I love flats. I really don't own heels, because they're uncomfortable and I hate them. So I prefer to wear sandals and flats.

I wanted to compile a list of my favorite flats and ones that I want. I can't wait to wear them with jeans and a comfy sweater! What is your favorite shoe?



I have wanted these for years! But I just never got them. My friend had a pair and they were so comfy and lasted forever. This fall season might be the season I finally buy my own pair ;)


These are super cute. I love the two-tone and the scalloped pattern. I actually just bought a pair of flats from Forever 21 and was surprised that they were actually comfortable. I will be buying more pairs of flats from there for sure.

I love the look of these types of flats but I'm not sure if I can pull it off. Do you ever want to try a new style but aren't sure if you'd look right wearing it? That's how I feel about these style of shoes. But I always like them on other people so I will just have to do it!

I have been lusting over these forever. I don't like the traditional Tory Burch flats that most people have with the elastic back. I've worn flats like that before and it gives me blisters on my achilles. But I really love their other ballet flats. Perhaps in the future I'll splurge (and hope that they last me a few years!)

You can never go wrong with flats (or any shoe) from Target!


These are my absolute favorite shoes in the fall and winter. I can't even explain how comfortable they are. I also like the grip on the bottom so you're not sliding around on ice in the winter. I have flat feet and shoes usually hurt my feet and shins (as opposed to wearing sneakers), but I have no issues with these!

What are your favorite types of shoes? Do you love flats as much as I do? :)

Lilly Pulitzer Sale!

So I only found out about the Lilly Pulitzer After Party sale yesterday, and I knew I had to go on there this morning.

I've been wanting a Lilly dress for a while now and this is my chance! So lo and behold, "my first Lilly," which is now sold out :(


I really, really loved this dress too but they no longer have it in my size.

And lastly, I'm debating on this one too. It's a cotton material, so I'm not sure what it would look like on me. Has anyone gotten a Lilly cotton dress? Thoughts?



I'm going to head to the store after work and see if I can buy anything in person, and try some stuff on because I have no clue of the fit. I mean I'm already ordering online, so if I find out I got the wrong size I'll be mad but...I want to know if I ordered the right size :)

I found a few dresses that were available and then once I clicked "Add to shopping cart" they were already sold out! It's possible the ones above have sold out since I wrote this.

Has anyone else been shopping the Lilly site today? What did you buy?

Bloomingdale's Dresses Sale

Bloomingdale's has a selection of dresses that are on sale...and you get an extra 25% off with the code "DRESS." Sweet!

I got the email alert this morning so I decided to peruse and see what I find. Here are a few of my favorites:

AQUA Dress - Sleeveless Printed Pleat Skirt Fit and Flare - $90.24

This is perfect for as a back to school dress in the fall, when it's still pretty warm out...and you want to look cute the first few weeks - then it's all down hill from there ;)

AQUA Dress - Spaghetti Strap Sequin Bodice Pleated Skirt - $84.60

This would be a great dress for a more formal occasion. I love the pleated skirt. I tend to like dresses with this kind of fit as opposed to more form-fitting ones because after a night of eating or drinking, I need a dress that will hide some stuff :)

Adrianna Papell Dress - Sleeveless Illusion Beaded Neck - $191.25

How pretty is the detailing on this dress? This is perfect for a fall wedding. There's more beading on the back as well. I like the fit and color. Do you prefer summer or fall weddings? I'm all about fall - it's my favorite season!

AQUA Dress - V Back Lace - $109.44

Another great dress for the fall, whether you're going back to school or need new dresses for the office. The color is a pale pink color.

Lush Dress - Strappy Back - $46.40

Because we all need a little black dress ;) I like the shoulder straps and high neckline - and the straps on the back of the dress as well!

I think the 25% is today only so head over and start shopping! 

Which one of these is your favorite? I really love that navy blue dress...wish I had a wedding to go to!

Nordstrom Sale: Back To School

Can you believe it's already August?? Summer is almost over! But I'm okay with that because fall is my favorite time of year.

I was perusing Nordstrom's sale page and found a lot of things that will be great for back to school. One thing I am definitely buying will be a field jacket and a rain jacket - 2 must-haves for when it gets cooler outside!

Here are other things on my shopping list:

Caslon Clean Front Five-Inch Shorts

Bobeau Front Keyhole Embroidered Tank 


I really love the Michael Kors jacket! I'd love to one day own a Barbour field jacket, but for those on a budget like me, this is a great option :)

What are some of your back to school must-haves this year??
