Happy Friday everyone! Here is the second outfit I styled with AMI Clubwear (see the first one here). Kimonos are a new favourite layering piece of mine (also styled one here). They're fantastic to throw on in place of a jacket or sweater because they're incredibly lightweight and I love their boho chic feel. Bonus: they make any outfit look effortless.

Happy September everyone! I can't believe the last long weekend of the summer has ended, but cheer up darlings! It's technically still summer since fall officially starts on September 23. Until then, I'll be keeping the summer vibes going for as long as I can in outfits like this flirty floral romper from AMI Clubwear. This is my first of three outfits that I've styled with the trendsetting clothing shop so be sure to visit my blog in the coming weeks for the rest of my looks!

To say I love this dress is an understatement. There was a week where I wore it three times because it's the perfect breezy, flowy piece of clothing I want to wear in the heat of summer. I paired the dress with these Sam Edelman sandals I scored at Nordstrom Rack in downtown Seattle when I was there last week for Jay-Z and Beyonce's concert. The shoes were promptly broken in after dancing all night in them (and walking an hour after the concert trying to catch a cab back to the hotel - ouch!).

Turquoise Tribe

{ Silk Blouse (old) & Shorts: Zara // Sandals: Sam Edelman "Trina" // Bag: Coach // Sunglasses: H&M // Bracelet: Swarovski }

I've been having a love affair with turquoise as of late and when I saw these tribal print shorts in my latest colour obsession, I had to scoop them up. I wore this outfit when I was in Portland over the weekend and it was perfect for the summer-like temperatures that graced the City of Roses. I'm really hoping this weather sticks around now that summer is right around the corner because I am ready for shorts and sandals season!
