$I grew up shopping at Dillards living here in the South and I LOVE their semi annual summer and winter sale. Huge brand names at a fraction of the price! These are the pieces in my cart as I continue building out my warm autum wardobe I think these would all be a great addition to what I have. #LTKgrwm$

Sharing the Amazon find of the year - this backyard patio set is under $2,000 and seats 8 (or even 12 if you have extra chairs)

The best part - the hidden expansion leaves inside! This table did come in multiple pieces so assembling it is required which my husband did for us. It also came with a color maintenance kit but so far this table has kept its color against the Florida sun and rain! If you’re looking for an outdoor set this season I can’t recommend this one enough

Ever since I got my colors done by and learned I was a warm autumn I’ve been avoiding wearing the color black. I was packing for a New York trip this weekend and wanted to wear a pant look but only had these tailored pants from Abercrombie I purchased a couple of years ago before I knew better. Luckily for us warm autumn’s wearing black doesn’t mean never, it just means being strategic.

The pants were far enough away from my face, so it didn’t really clash with my features and I brightened up the whole look by wearing camel and brown. You better believe my next investment will be a pair of tailored pants and a more appropriate warm, autumn shade this season! These are the Abercrombie tailored wide leg pants and a size small

Travel ✈️ day finally feels complete now that I’ve invested in the PERFECT travel bag - the BEIS East to West Tote.

Per usual my QUINCE linen button-down (wearing a medium) is a go to because linen doesn’t have to look perfect so it makes an easy travel fabric & of course my linen denim jeans I’ve been wearing all summer long (size 26)

My olukai slip on leather sneakers are so comfortable and a go to for me time and time again (just size up a half size)

Found a few wardrobe fillers I’ve been on the hunt for and finally pulled the trigger on everything linked here - can’t wait to try on.

I needed a good tailored pair of jeans and I hope these jcrew ones work for $88 or be thrilled ordered a size 27

Shoes were a find on Nordstrom rack - I wanted a short boot and mule for walking and layering on our trip - I am a true 9 in Sam Edelman

The green jacket I finally purchased - this one from jcrew has a synched waist so I bought a medium! Hoping it fits

The cashmere wrap was a splurge but SO beautiful and also 40% off so now was the time to invest in a good piece so I can retire an older polyester blend wrap in the back of my closet

Brunch & Fun ☀️

Shorts just feel like me 🤍 I picked these up from Anthropologie and it’s so easy to dress them up with a pair of heels and a cute bag 🌴

Shoes size 9
Shorts size 4

Linking other shorts since these are sold out!

#LTKgrwm

I needed to replace my gauze white button down and scored one on sale at jcrew earlier this month! Of course my Florida uniform is linen, cotton, and comfy 🤍🌴

On sale for $40! I am so tempted to get the green and white strip one too - I’m wearing a size medium for a more over sized relaxed look

Week 28 Monday Moodboard blog is live on my website 🤍

🔗 My favorites this week:

Linen Denim by @abercrombie
Coastal House Lighting
Oktoberfest Inspired Catering things I’m buying

My edit list for this room:

1. Warmer and softer rug (mine is a 6x9)
2 Hung the mirror so it looks more intentional
3. Simple but useful styling items (local guide books, books that hint at the coastal lifestyle we live)
4. A bench to make this room feel like home for guests and a place to lay things on during their stay

Guest Room Refresh (fially)
Can you believe this bedframe is mine from highschool? It's amazing how investing in timless quality pieces matter. It's come to all 3 of our houses and I just can't seem to let it go. I think the room is finally styled to the organic coastal look I am going for with a few new purchases to mix with the old <3

#LTKHome

Happy Monday

#LTKstorytime

Finally hung this mirror in the guest room and I love how it came together 🤍 it’s also on sale right now for $98 v $120 at @Target

I purchased this frame tv a few years ago so I’m linking one similar but the frame is a bit darker online than the one I’m showing here

I love this raised planter bed for my herb garden and for under $60. It’s a steel! I purchased this exact model about four years ago and I’m just now needing to replace it.

#LTKSeasonal

Friday date night in August 🌴

Wearing a size 9 in these new Antonio Melani heels I scored at the dillards sale for $40 and the dress is also on sale at dillards I’m wearing a size small

A wardrobe staple! I only wish I had found the Levi’s cinch waist shorts years ago.

I’m wearing a size 26 - they do cinch in about 1/2 an inch on each side and their cotton blend does stretch through out the day

Also I don’t take off my gorjana jewlery and I’m so impressed with their customer service! Well worth the splurge I’ve had these pieces for 3+ years now

My actual dillards sale haul this morning 65% off!

Dress: size small - free people
All shoes: size 9
Shirt: medium

Wearing a size small this dress is going to be so cute with boots and a denim jacket in Montana next week 👢 🏔️ 🐴

My go to Florida summer jeans they are a denim linen blend - they’re light enough to wear out in the Florida heat 🤍

I’m wearing a 26 regular
