World's Easiest Outfit

Top: JCP | Jeans: Gap | Shoes: Nine West, similar | Bracelet: BCBG | Watch: Target

I never wake up on time, I'm notorious for hitting that snooze button. So I usually try to pick out my clothes the night before, so I don't spend my very limited time scrambling for clothes. Unfortunately, I woke up unprepared and couldn't think of anything to wear. As I peered into my closet I found this chambray top that I had yet to wear and these jeans that happened to be fresh out the wash. I was glad to find something that was comfortable but also didn't make me look as if I were going to dance rehearsal instead of the office (definitely did that this week, whoops). I would just like to salute the inventor of the button down shirt, specifically the chambray button down.  What's your go-to outfit when you're hard pressed for time?

Oh My Chic

Top: ILY Couture | Skirt: Target  Shoes: Antonio Melani | Bag: Kate Spade | Watch: Target

 As I've said before, I'm a sucker for printed t-shirts and sweatshirts. And when I saw this beauty online I just had to get it, and luckily I got it on super sale! I was also lucky enough to catch this super adorable skirt at Target, it was hard to pass it up considering its price and the fact that I'm lacking in blue skirts. The air is getting crisper as we speak so this will probably be my last time sporting bare legs for a while, goodbye dear legs, see you in a few months.

Luxe Be A Lady

Top: Old Navy | Skirt: JCP | Shoes: Target | Bag: Kate Spade | Necklace: Bauble Bar | Watch: Target | Bracelets: J. Crew, BCBG

If you read this post on my current love affair with leather, then you know how much I'm digging the luxurious material these days. I really can't get enough, it might be an issue. This skirt was just too darling to pass up and I can see myself finding a million reasons to wear it this season. I was also super excited to snag these pumps from Target, I got them for even less than the online price! They remind me of this J. Crew pump with that delicious chunky heel, but I didn't have to save my pennies to buy them, which is always a plus.

Out To Sea

Top: J. Crew, similar | Jeans: Gap | Shoes: Zara | Bag: Kate Spade | Watch: Target | Bracelets: J. Crew

I'm fairly sure that printed sweatshirts and skinny jeans are going to be my favorite items this fall and winter, it's such an easy combo to pull off and requires little effort. I picked up this beauty at J. Crew during one of their amazing sales, it was a little big but there's nothing wrong with a slightly larger sweatshirt. The print inside the anchor is lovely and the material is super soft and comfy.

Don't Get Mad, Get Plaid

 Food Baby, not a real baby

Camouflaging 

Top: Target (found for way less in store) | Dress: F21 | Shoes: Prabal Gurung for Target | Belt: J. Crew | Bag: Target (found for way less in store) | Watch: Target

I'm slowly but surely easing into this whole Fall thing. I'm not completely ready to give up on sandals and bare legs but I guess I don't have much of a choice unless I make like a duck and migrate. Unlike the U.S. Government (burn), I decided to compromise by wearing a little plaid and showing some skin.

Weekend Warrior

A little nighttime photo shoot 

Top: Old Navy, ON SALE | Dress: F21 | Necklace: WISH (Memphis) | Shoes: Gap, similar | Watch: Target | Bracelets: Five and Two, J.Crew 

I was fortunate enough to spend this past weekend in Conway, Arkansas. Conway is home to only the greatest school ever, Hendrix College. I love going back to visit friends and it's nice to know that I'll always have a place I can call home, or my second home. We spent the weekend lounging, hanging out, eating, you know, all the good stuff. Saturday I got to see the Dance Ensemble perform, and it was wonderful to see the people I danced with and my dance professor. We also went to a Hendrix football game which was crazy for me because before this season, we haven't had football in about 50 years and it was fun to see how the cheer squad has grown since my day. And I almost forgot that we celebrated the Brick House's 10th Birthday this weekend with a Middle School-themed party, with all the best tunes. All in all it was a great time, I just wanted to stay and lounge but the real world was waiting for me.

It's a great day to be a Warrior

Sequins and Stripes

 Top: J. Crew | Jeans: J. Crew | Shoes: Zara | Bracelet: Kate Spade | Watch: Target

This has to be one of my favorite sequin t-shirts (yes I own more than one). This top was a highly coveted J.Crew purchase that I got on super sale, I was very pleased with my success. This top and my other sepqin tops are a great way to add some glitz and glam to an everyday look without seeming completely over the top.

Top Ten Tuesday: Nail Polish

Top Ten Nail Polish Colors by mitchelllp 

Hi, my name is LaRonda and I'm addicted to nail polish. I'm sure the rest of you ladies are addicts as well. It's rare to see me with bare nails, and my collection never seems to stop growing. Oh well. Here are ten lovely colors that won't disappoint. While I could have found ten colors that I love, I got my friend Allison at Glamour and Whisk to help me come up with some choices. We're always talking about polish, recommending colors and such. Numbers 7 and 8 are actually shared favorites. Have a color you love? Share!

Pleated Promises

Dress: Kirna Zabate for Target | Shoes: Calvin Klein | Bag: Kate Spade | Bracelets: BCBG, Five and Two | Watch: Timex | Rings: J.Crew, F21

This dress has been hanging out in my closet for an ungodly amount of time, it's like I have been saving it for something. It's been ages since Kirna Zabate and Target collaborated, which was a collection I really liked. When I snagged this dress on one of my random Target trips, I was surprised and elated to get it for 70% off, which in my book made it practically free. The floor sweeping maxi just felt so glamorous, and the fabric and pleats were perfect. If you're a shorty like I am, don't be afraid of maxi dresses, with the right one and the right footwear, you can actually appear taller. I'll be on the hunt for similar dresses, this one is definitely a closet favorite.
