The deets: Dress, bracelets, & clutch c/o The Mint Julep Boutique; Zara heels (old); Knox Thomas Designs coordinates bracelet; Quay sunnies.

I promised there was more cuteness from Mint Julep last week in this post and I was not kidding. They have the best selection of dresses so don't forget to enter to win a $25 credit below, only three days left! I wore this out on a little day date in my neighborhood with my boyfriend and felt super cute but also comfortable because the material is nice and stretchy. Ain't nothing wrong with getting sexy on a Sunday, right?

For all my local DMV peeps, I am so excited about the style festival this weekend which is being thrown by Refinery 29  and Simon at the Pentagon City Mall (which is the local mall that I shop at all the time on weekends/my lunch break). It's going to be a fun combination of music, fashion and shopping! There will be several “stages” set up (the deets are outlined below) and performances by LION BABE and DJs Midnight Magic and Misshapes. I will definitely be making the rounds and getting some shopping in, don't miss it!

“Sound Stage” Musical Performances: Style Festival attendees will have the opportunity to see LION BABE live in concert at 3 p.m. Shoppers can to sway to the music of the dynamic duo, made up of vocalist Jillian Hervey and producer Lucas Goodman, and their fearless, upbeat brand of R&B. DJs Midnight Magic and Misshapes will also be performing at 1 p.m. and 4 p.m., respectively.

“Style Stage” Indie Boutiques and National Brands: Independent boutiques and retailers will create an interplay between the native, in-market shopping experiences and popular national retail brands, all within the mall landscape. This shoppable “stage” will be inspired by summer’s trends curated by Refinery29 editors, such as “Jean Scene” and “Fringed Benefits,” and feature select items from local boutiques Style Mafia, Gossip on 23rd, Violet D.C. and Supra Endura.

“Beauty Stage” Beauty Bars: A beauty team will be on-hand at pop-up beauty bars to give shoppers festival-inspired hair trends that have been curated by Refinery29 editors. Festival-goers will also have the opportunity to select from a range of metallic, jewelry-inspired, temporary tattoos at the pop-up tattoo parlor courtesy of Flash Tattoo.

“DIY Stage”: Style Festival guests can personalize custom band-inspired tour tees, taking home a keepsake souvenir from the experience.

The deets: Line & Dot dress (now 50% off); heels c/o The Mint Julep Boutique; Quay sunnies; Kate Spade mini bag, bracelet, ring, & earrings; Knox Thomas Designs bangle.

I feel like these strappy heels completely embody my personality to a tee. They are bright girly colors, floral printed, and to me say "party girl but also a lady." #WINNERS. I got them at one of my new favorite online shops, The Mint Julep Boutique. I also wore these all night at a bachelorette party and didn't have one ounce of pain! We went to an establishment called Blue Moon ON AN ACTUAL BLUE MOON and didn't even plan it that way - how magically serendipitous, right? 

Anyway, I have great news. YOU can win a $25 credit and get in on this Mint Julep Boutique cuteness by entering below! Believe me there are so many pretty things there and they are all super affordable (my favorite combo) like these cute scalloped shorts or this classy little black number. I have more adorableness from the shop coming up next week!

I just spent the most glorious sunny weekend for a bachelorette party in Rehoboth Beach. I wore this out to grab lunch in town at the Green Man Bistro (which had tons of delicious organic options) because it was easy and breezy. These wedges are also the most comfortable ones I own. I can last for a while without even feeling like I am wearing heels (which is way more important to me as I get older). Loads more to share on this trip in the next few posts!

The deets: J.Crew top (now under $40) & necklace (last seen here); LOFT skirt (also worn here); Kate Spade mini bag; Tory Burch wedges (similar); Knox Thomas Designs bracelets; Karen Walker sunnies (I upgraded to the real deal but first had this identical inexpensive version last seen here).

I love how the perforation on my wedges kind of mimic the eyelet sleeve detail on my top. It's all about the little details in my opinion. I especially love any kind of texture given to something that doesn't normally have it. I am also all about a cross-body these days. Where was this trend like five years ago when I was just out of college and a hot drunk mess that would leave my clutches everywhere for the stealing? These are basically like fashionable fanny packs and I am DOWN. To whom ever is responsible for the cross-body, my house keys and wallet thank you.
