Dress: Buddy Love (shop here) // Shoes: Sam Edelman (shop similar here + here)

I've been on a major dress craze lately and I'm not mad about it!  In the past two weeks, I feel like I've added four dresses for every one top #obsessed.  A lot of my shopping has been done in-store, but I would be a huge liar if I didn't also browse the internet for some unique finds.  Enter my newest online muse, Shop Buddy Love, the most perfect online shop for the raging girly girl inside of you. From little white dresses, to off the shoulder numbers- I simply want everything on this site.  The one I'm wearing in this post had my jaw to the floor because of how GORGEOUS it is.  The print is perfect, the length is sexy and the off the shoulder detail is too much to handle.  I just want to live in it and find excuses to wear it casually and dressed up for all occasions.  Obviously I've cultivated a major wish list so let's start this virtual shopping trip together!

Off The Shoulder

I'm obsessed with this OTS that almost could be mistaken for chambray, this mint colored dress because everyone loves mint, this OTS maxi is a perfect combination of two of my favorite styles and this embroidered dress is fabulous for a beach trip.

Casual Weekender 

I want to wear this one with sneakers and sandals all day, every day!  It also comes in a few other colors so that's a major plus. This lace up detail is super fun to step up your weekend casual look, this ombre dress basically brings a beach sunset to you and this striped one doesn't need an explanation because well...stripes.

Little White Dress

A dress like this is such a staple for everyone's closet, this one has the cutest neck embroidery detail and also comes in a different color here, another item all girls should have is a tunic like this perfect one.

Maxi

Say hello to your next vacation dress here, this one is definitely called 'Riviera Costa Rica' for a reason, another staple is a white maxi like this one, I'm loving this transitional dress, the simplicity and cute buttons on this dress are everything and finally I'm simply obsessed with this one - it's sold out but you can sign up to be notified when it's back in stock!

So, how much was your damage?  Hopefully not too bad but if it was, I completely understand!  Anyway, don't forget to share your favorite selections with me in the comments or via Instagram.  I'll be back again soon!

With the warmer seasons behind us, does color seem like something of the past?  It's like an unwritten rule or something where maybe florals and bright colors might not be fashionably accepted- who comes up with these things!?  I do have to say that although my favorite color is black, I do naturally gravitate towards every bright color in front of me.  When I received my latest collaboration package from Banana Republic, I freaked out when I saw this royal blue dress.  I immediately thought nude shoes would be the best way to style this dress, but then I thought about how cute it would be to make it look a little edgy!  I had just purchased a new leather jacket from Nordstrom that I was dying to wear, so on top of this dress it went.  If there is a way to combine seasonal wear with off-season colors, I'm all about it.  You guys know I love transitional clothing so you can definitely bet this dress is going to come back out on the first day of spring!  Anyway, don't forget you can shop my look by clicking on the links above in the details.  See you guys later!
