I just
made a little visit to my local Anthropologie and I fell in love with a ton of
items that will be perfect for fall - whenever it gets here. The weather here is still about 90 degrees
during the peak of the day. So, I have
at least a month or two before I can start pulling out my sweaters and
jackets. In the meantime, I’ll just
continue to add a few more things to my wish list and create my fall wardrobe
in my mind. Have any of you checkout
out Anthropologie lately. Do any of you
have any favorites that you can’t live without this month? What’s on your wish list?

Moody Mondays: Target & Altuzarra
I’m so
excited to share with all of you the news about Target’s newest
collaboration. I’m not sure where I've been, but I only recently learned about this information, so I figured that I
would share it with all of you (in case you weren't already in the know).
Anyways, Target has announced that they are partnering with
Altuzarra to introduce a limited-edition collection of women's ready-to-wear
& accessories for fall 2014.
Altuzarra for Target hits Target stores, Target.com and Net-A-Porter on Sunday,
September 14, 2014 - so you know that’s where I’ll be.
The 2014 Council of Fashion Designers
of America, Inc. (CFDA)
Womenswear Designer of the Year winner, Joseph Altuzarra of Altuzarra, has
created a collection for Target that is comprised of nearly 50 pieces priced from $18 to
$90. The collection includes everyday
staples of pencil skirts, crisp button-down shirts and stylish dresses that are covered in python prints, rich velvets and romantic floral prints. In addition to the clothes, there are a
handful of beautiful accessories like waist-cinching belts, ankle-strap

Moody Style: Lace & Stripes
I love, love, love this Eva Franco Laced Strata dress
that I wore out to dinner a few weeks ago. This is my first dress that I've owned from Eva Franco and I’m very impressed with the
fit and quality. The dress is form fitting and flared at
the waist creating the perfect hourglass figure. This dress is flirty and feminine and doesn’t
require too many accessories because the dress speaks for itself. The fabric is
heavy and is perfect for cooler weather, but it also works in the warmer months. I'm so happy that I grabbed this dress when I did - it's my new favorite. Do any of you have this dress or the black and white version? Do you have a favorite dress in
your closet that fits you perfectly? Let
me know. I hope that you guys have a
great week!
