LWD & Labor Day Sales

Happy Friday/Labor Day Weekend Y'all!

Being a southern girl, you'd think I'd religiously follow the "no wearing white after Labor Day rule". Well, I never have nor never will follow this rule because I think it is flat out DUMB. Why shouldn't one wear a color as beautiful as white year round? Whoever made up this rule must have been a bigger queen bee than Regina George, but hey I do like army pants and flip flops.

Ikat & Cobalt Blue

As you'll see below, Dr. D has some pretty amazing fruits and flowers growing in his backyard! When he bought this house the backyard was something he was really looking forward to ... then we got the lovely surprise of all the beautiful flowers growing on the trees lining the fence. It just so happens my favorite flowers were out in full bloom when I took these photos so naturally Dr. D had to embrace the moment of me smelling them.

- Now back to the fashion -

I'm seriously IN LOVE with cobalt blue for the Fall season. Jewel tones are a re-occurring trend from the 2012 Fall/Winter season and I couldn't be happier! The moment I spotted this ikat skirt at Francesca's I knew it had my name written all over it! Prints + cobalt blue = a very happy Paige!

Sequins Aren't Just For The Holiday Season!

As I headed back to the infamous Riverside this weekend I knew I was in for yet another scorching hot weekend. I normally pair a chiffon blouse with this skirt but it was just too hot for that! I initially bought this skirt last Winter and wore it out for New Year's Eve in Charleston. It's such a fun piece that I simply couldn't bear to let it only be worn once a year so I threw it on with a tank to run errands in.

As I strolled around town I got numerous compliments on it which made me all the more happier (especially since I hadn't straightened my hair & was feeling A TAD hot mess-esque) that I decided to wipe the dust off this beauty and let it truly shine!

Fall Wish List

With Fall literally right around the corner - cue depressing SIGH - I decided I needed to make a new season wish list:

1 // 2 // 3 // 4 // 5 // 6

1. Tan Booties: I'm not going to lie, I never understood the point of a "bootie" when they were up and coming last Fall/Winter ... then I bought a pair. My mind was blown at how ridiculously easy they are to pair with skirts & dresses with tights, skinny jeans and leather pants.

2. Leopard Belt: This print is right on trend going into the fall season and I couldn't be happier. It's the perfect pairing for anything brown, tan or black in anyone's closet!

3. Meh Sweatshirt: My roommate got one of these for Christmas last year and I've been envious ever since! It's perfect to throw on for those days you just feel like vegging on the couch watching Real Housewives.

4. Leather Skirt: After buying my faux-leather leggings last Fall I haven't stopped wearing them! A leather skirt would be the perfect addition to spice up this season's wardrobe!

5. Statement Necklaces: It's no secret I love a good necklace, but I feel like I need some news ones in my everyday rotation. This amazon themed one will be perfect for me to wear over my LBD's during award season!

6. Fall Nail Polish: Since I stopped biting my fingernails, I LOVE painting them! I haven't steered clear of the usual pink tones but I am loving Essie's "Chinchilly" color for Fall!

Happy Thursday loves! The week is almost over :)

As the week nears its end, I always have a talk with Dr. D to figure out who is making the hour + drive to see the other for the weekend. Being in a long distance relationship is never easy but we make it work! Normally, he comes down to LA because frankly there's just more to do; however, with every relationship there is a balance of give and take. This past weekend I made the trek to Riverside aka THE DESERT and y'all it was way too hot for my liking. Being a southern girl I can with handle a good amount of heat, but boy was I thankful for the AC!

I've had this LOFT skirt in my closet for weeks and have only worn it once. I'm short and always have to buy things from the petite section, but this skirt is toying around the fine line of office appropriate.

Blouse: Francesca's // Skirt: Ann Taylor LOFT // Shoes: Aldo // Sunnies: Raybans // Necklace: Cornucopia // Watch: Burberry // Bracelets: Prep Obsessed and Gifted // Earrings: Unknown // Lips: Milani "Hot Pink Rage"

Hi - Low Flow

I'm simply just not ready to stop wearing dresses and wedges ... no sir-y bob! I ordered this dress from Francesca's last Winter and ever since it has become my "go-to" dress. Not only is it perfect for Sunday brunch with the girls, but just throw on a jean jacket and you're ready for a Wednesday night happy hour. Put on a leather jacket instead and I'm instantly concert ready, throw on a blazer and it's perfect for work! The possibilities are endless!

The flowy skirt makes me want to twirl like a ballerina because it's so feminine and fun! I wear this dress far more than I ever should, but hey can you blame me?!

Dress: Francesca's // Wedges: Steve Madden // Sunglasses: Raybans // Necklace: Vintage from my Bama // Earrings: Steinmart // Link Bracelet: Prep Obsessed // Pearl Bracelet: Bridesmaid Gift // Bangle: Versona // Rings: Handpicked and Boutique in Rome
