Dressing Room Diaries - July Amazon Try On

dress / shoes

I love a good t-shirt dress...pair that love with my love for Amazon's Daily Ritual brand and you have a perfect match in this short sleeve dress. SO comfortable and the material is super soft. Can also be worn as a cover up. Comes in a bunch of colors. It's a looser fit, I'm wearing an XS.

Since we are spending A LOT more time at home I needed to expand my athleisure tanks. I wanted stuff that was versatile - wear just to lounge but also I could do a workout in. The above one fits the bill perfectly. Nice and loose fitting so it's breathable. Comes in a lot of colors. Fit is true to size.

tank / black shorts / jean shorts / shoes

I snagged these Core 10 tanks during Amazon's big fashion sale last week and I love them! You can wear them to work out or just if you are being casual. Soft material and very comfortable. The sale might be over but they are still at a great price point. 

In the summer, I love a good romper and this one from Amazon's Daily Ritual brand is SO soft and SO comfortable. Went out of my comfort zone and tried this blush color and I love it. The overall fit is perfect, straps are thick enough for a bra and the length is great. It has an adjustable waist which is nice. Comes in a few colors. Overall this is a winner. Highly recommend. 

sweatshirt / shorts 

This is a two in one review today with some fabulous finds from Amazon's Daily Ritual brand. This super soft dolman sleeve style sweatshirt is SO soft and comfortable. Works all year round. Comes in a bunch of colors but I LOVE the bright blue. These cut off shorts are also Daily Ritual and super cute and comfortable. Nice high waist with some stretch. I went with the mid-blue wash because it was a color I didn't have. Lots of washes available. Both items are true to size and have AMAZING

price points.

And for those of you that thought this sweatshirt looked familiar...it's because it is and I have it in a tunic style that I wore at the beginning of quarantine.

earrings / dress

I love statement earrings and these $10 ones are a staple in my wardrobe because they go with everything. They are lightweight and they have a post so they won't pull on your ear. Other colors are available.

dress / flip flops

I LOVE the pattern on this high-low style dress. It's super cute with the tie straps and waist. All that said I don't think the length of this style worked for me. I think I need to be a little taller. So if you are 5'3" or taller I think it would work perfectly.

If you've been following me for a few years, then you know I love a good romper and this one is SO darling. I love the flounce neckline. Very comfortable and I felt secure even with it being strapless. Comes in a few prints but I'm partial to this geometric one.

Since most of my workouts have been outside I need more shorts. I loved the pattern of these adidas ones I got on Amazon. Unfortunately I don't love the way the fit for working out however, I would totally rock these for a casual day at home or running errands or at my kids sporting activities. Really comfortable and again, I'm obsessed with the print. And they go really well with my favorite Amazon sweatshirt.

I give full credit to my friend Melissa for this Amazon find. I saw her at the pool and was in love with her cover up. I thought for sure she was going to tell me it was from Anthropologie or Nordstrom and was shocked when she said AMAZON! The detailing is amazing...it looks so much more expensive than it is. Very comfortable and goes with all my suits. There are other colors available. True to size.

MAJOR Stella and Dot SALE!!!!

Stella and Dot has marked down SOOOO many of my FAVORITE jewels and accessories for the Labor Day holiday.  And not only are the prices marked down...the more you shop the more you save - buy 2 sale items, save an extra 15%...buy 3 sale items, save an extra 20%!!!  There are SO many that I had to dedicate a full blog post to it.  Check out my favorites - 

LOVE these sunnies.  They are the perfect tortoise blend with a hint of blush tones.  Very comfortable and definitely block the sun well! 

This is a FABULOUS fall clutch!  Give your blue outfits a little pop of color with this one.  Built in wallet inside and fits everything you need - phone, lip gloss, credit card, etc.

This is a very versatile ruffle top...you can wear it almost year round.  Goes great with shorts and flops or pair it with jeans and boots.  It's such a comfortable top.  Oh and the statement necklace I'm wearing is on sale too! PS - The statement necklace I'm wearing in the second picture is also on sale.

Another fabulous fall piece are these earrings.  I love the blue and orange tones with the hint of green.  These were on repeat last year and will be again.  Post style and not too heavy.  

If you aren't a fan of dangle earrings but still want a statement, these earrings are perfect for you!  Super lightweight with a post.  Sure to dress up any outfit.  I love wearing these with my fall/winter all black outfits!

This fabulous red/pink bag has been my go-to pool bag all summer.  It's the perfect size and the material can handle the cement pool deck and water that ultimately ends up on it.  Works really for any occasion not just the pool.  It's adjustable so you can make it fit the amount of stuff you have.  And I love a good monogram...this bag has a feature where you can have your monogram or something else personalized on the bag! 

This picture is has TWO sale items in one.  First is the Rayna necklace.  You get two amazing necklaces in one - long silver one with a pendant on the end and the other is black beaded.  Great together or wear individually.  The second item on sale is this fabulous off the shoulder top.  The gray is a super soft cozy material.  LOVE!  You can wear it off the shoulder or on both...whatever you are comfortable in.  Also comes in black, blue and red versions.  

I know summer is almost over but this cover up is on sale and it's worth snagging now to have for next summer or your next warm weather vacation.  There is an eye hook so you can close it.  Will go with so many suits.  Highly recommend.  

I LOVE this scarf.  I wore it ALL the time in fall/winter last year.  It's super comfortable, keeps you warm but is also a great fashion piece.  Love the grays and blues throughout.  Snag it now for the cooler temps!

I LOVE this beaded clutch.  It was the perfect accessory this summer.  Fits everything I need and goes with so many things. 

I LOVE the colors in this statement necklace - the pinks, greens and creams really make an outfit pop.  But the best part of the necklace is that it's REVERSIBLE and you can wear it on just the gold side for any outfit.

Dressing Room Diaries - LOFT Fall Transition Pieces

One of the fashion finds I'm focused on right now are cute looks to transition looks to get me from summer to fall because around here you never know what the weather will be like in September and October...can be really warm or really cold. Here are some perfect pieces from LOFT that fit the bill.

dress / shoes

This is the perfect fall transition dress...it's got all the right colors and great for layering. Cinch waist gives you a flattering shape and it has POCKETS! Fit is true to size. Definitely recommend.

I love a good mule and these are SO cute for fall. Perfect nude/taupe color with super cute bow detail. You can dress them up or down. They run about a half size big so consider sizing up. Also come in black.

top / skirt / shoes

Traditionally I haven't been much of a skirt wearer till recently.  This is a really cute (and comfortable) slip on one with an elastic waist.  Perfect now with bare legs and sandals and then pair it with tights and flats/pumps in the winter.  Fit is true to size.

top / necklace / pants / shoes

This top is a mix media top or as I like to call it - business in the front and party in the back.  It's a dressy material for the front part and a softer cotton in the back.  Very comfortable for work.  Perfect on its own or with a sweater or blazer.  Fit is true to size.

top / pants / shoes

Love the floral print and the ruffle sleeve detail on this top. This is perfect to wear on it's on or layered with a cardigan or jacket. Works great with jeans or black pants. Highly recommend.

Here's the PERFECT bangle set.  Comes with two "gold" bangles are four colorful resin ones.  The colors are perfect for almost any outfit.  I've gotten SO much use out of them already.  Highly recommend.

Five Friday Favorites - Recent Favorite Amazon Non-Fashion Purchases

#1 - Enso Rings

hubs / me

In the summer months, Hubs and I are so much more active.  Whether it's at the beach, pool or just hanging outside.  This summer I decided for Father's Day I would get us more durable wedding bands that we could swim, work out and basically "play" in without the worry of losing.  I went with the Enso brand because a friend who teaches fitness classes for a living loved hers.  They are very affordable, lots of great options to choose from and extremely durable.  I wear mine all the time and have "beat" it up and it still looks new.  Highly recommend!

#2 - Egg Cooker

We LOVE hard boiled eggs in our house but we can never seem to get the cooking right on our own so I decided to try this highly rated egg cooker.  Well it's AMAZING and I can't believe we didn't buy it sooner.  It's so easy to use and the eggs are cooked perfectly EVERY TIME!

#3 - Laptop Case

Being a blogger and also back in the working world, my laptop comes with me EVERYWHERE so I need a great case to protect it.  I didn't need something fancy but one that would protect my computer but not be too bulky as I usually carry it in my purse.  This $10.99 one works perfectly.  I went with gray since it's neutral but there are lots of colors to pick from.

#4 - Keurig Coffee Pot

I bought this coffee pot during Amazon Prime Days and I'm so glad I did because just last week, my Keurig for about five years stopped working well.  So far I love this one because you can use it for so much more than regular hot coffee.  Who has this one?  What's your favorite thing to make?

#5 - Electronic Cord Organizer

I know I'm not alone when I say I have SO many electronic cords and gizmos so I got this one to keep the cords I keep at my home office organized.  There are so many compartments and cord keepers that everything fits and its rolls up nicely too.  I got one for Hubs as well!
