Neon + Stripes

Dress: LOFT; Heels: Target; Watch: Michael Kors; Bangles: Alex & Ani

Nothing like a pop of neon to really bring an outfit to life. Sure, this dress is cute on its own. But by adding a totally unexpected (and somewhat flashy) element, a basic outfit is instantly transformed into something SO much better. What can I say, I'm an 80s baby! Love me some neon!

Thank you again to Jordan for snapping these pics!

I'm off to Cali tomorrow for a brief vacation. If you have any recommendations for the Napa area, let me know!

A Little Flounce Never Hurt Anybody...

Dress: LOFT; Blazer: Zara; Bag: Michael Kors; Sandals: Dolce Vita; Sunnies: Chloe

There's a couple things I love about this dress. The color block (and I thought I was over color block!), the drop waist 1920s feel, and the overall cuteness of it. I mean, anything with a little flounce puts a little extra pep in my step. Does it do that to you? In retrospect, it probably would have looked much better with heels. But truth be told, I like to limit long days at the office in heels to one day a week. And today just wasn't that day. 

Even though I was loving that today was a bit on the summery side, I would be lying if I said I wasn't excited to pair this with opaque tights and booties in a few short weeks.

Labor Day White

Dress: Anthropologie (old); Denim Jacket: Gap (from HS! Similar HERE); Necklace: BaubleBar; Bracelet: The Fashion Truck; Rings: Stella & Dot; Sandals: Dolce Vita; Bag: Michael Kors

Even though I'm a firm believer in wearing white well after Labor Day, I wanted to get one last wear out of my favorite white sundress that unfortunately does not transition into fall. I paired it with my denim jacket that is from my high school days as a Gap employee and off I went to a family BBQ at my sister's college. (I may or may not have been trying to blend in with the rest of the college freshman with this outfit choice.) How did you spend your Labor Day?

Mustard + Leopard

Blouse: BCBGeneration; Boyfriend Jeans: Gap; Wedges: Sole Society; Necklace: c/o INPINK; Bangles: Stella & Dot, The Fashion Truck

Great accessories take an outfit from average to interesting. Boring to beautiful. And while my outfit isn't anything groundbreaking, the leopard wedges are perfectly on trend without being too trendy, and my pendant necklace adds a pop of contrasting color to my plain blouse. 

What's your favorite way to spice up an otherwise monotonous outfit?

Check back tomorrow for a super exciting giveaway! You won't want to miss this one!

Leather Sleeves

I'm a walking contradiction. That's just how I roll. Some days I'm wishing summer away and others I'm cursing the arrival of the cooler weather. When I got dressed today, I was psyched that it was hot enough for shorts but pissed that I couldn't break out just one fall clothing item. Then I remembered this leather-sleeved tee I recently picked up from Zara. Perfect! A summery t-shirt with fall weather details. I will also have you know that I didn't want to get dressed to run errands but ended up wearing heels. Makes total sense. Just a day in the life of yours truly. 

Tee: Zara; Shorts: J.Crew Factory; Heels: DSW (old); Ring & Bracelets: c/o INPINK

Floral Peplum

Blouse: Yumi Kim; Jeans: Hudson; Sandals: Zara; Bag: Michael Kors; Watch: Michael Kors

Are you sick of floral and peplum yet? Clearly I'm not. And I'll give you a little friendly warning: I've already purchased two more peplum tops for fall. I'm psyched that this trend is sticking around for another season. It's just such a fun and flirty twist on the simple blouse.  

My family was in town this past weekend to move my sister into her freshman college dorm. We packed a ton into two short days -- the pictures below pretty much sum it up.

Clockwise from top left: Every weekend ends with a stop at Richie's Slush; Taylor & me after lunch; delicious bucket of Snow Crab legs at Barking Crab; Taylor's new digs

Hope your week is going well so far!

Summer Stripes

Soooo I totally underestimated how stressful starting a new job can be. Trying to navigate my way around a new office and attempting to remember who is who ON TOP of figuring out what to wear each day is completely exhausting. After a week of training, today was my first day being thrown to the wolves. Honestly, that's how I learn best. Needless to say though, it's been near impossible to find time to post, and for that I am sorry. But the good news is, I absolutely love the new job so far. The girls I work with are amazing and are a huge reason why I'm adjusting as quickly as I am. 

Enough about that, onto today's outfit post. Immediately after I took these pictures my hair expanded about three times its usual size. True story. And I'm pretty sure jean shorts are the most uncomfortable thing to be wearing when the mercury reaches 90+ degrees. But at least they looked cute, right? Beauty is pain, my dears.

Hope your week is going swimmingly!

Summer Brights

Quick colorful post for you today! I am totally embracing all the bright summer colors before my wardrobe slowly morphs into fall neutrals and then into winter drab. C'est la vie!

SiSi Wore Sailboats by the Seashore

A few things about the title of this post. Most of you know me as "L". I also answer to Lindsey, Linds, Hey You, and sometimes even the dog's name (when I'm home and visiting the grandparents, of course.) But to a small crowd under the age of 8, I am known as SiSi (Cici, Sey-Sey, etc.) My godson Evan gave me this nickname when he was a tiny tot and clearly it stuck. 

Second, I guess you really can't qualify this as the seashore. But it's close enough, right?

Onto the outfit... This was one of those lazy days where after dragging myself to the gym and yoga, I went back home, crawled into bed, and stayed there until ohhh, about 6pm. Then the guilt of spending the majority of a beautiful day indoors started to creep up on me. So I did what any normal human being would do: cleaned myself up, threw on this cute sailboat blouse, posed for pics, then proceeded to get really drunk off of margaritas. Now that's what I call a successful day. Don't judge.

Shirt: Old Navy; Jeans: Hudson; Necklace: BaubleBar; Wedges: Seychelles; Bangles: Alex & Ani, Bobbles & Lace Boston; Purse: F21

I'm off to NY tonight to see family and friends. See you Monday my dears!

Chambray + White

There are few pairings that scream "summer" more than chambray and white. It's such an effortless combo but the end results are crisp and cool. Add a few pops of color and you're good to go. I'm a complete sucker for a ruffle detail on anything... and then I spotted the $15 price tag and was REALLY in heaven. Cute shirt for under $20! Amazing.

Top: Old Navy; Jeans: Hudson (HERE); Bag: Rebecca Minkoff (other colors HERE); Sandals: Sam Edelman; Bangles: Alex & Ani, Forever21, Bobbles & Lace Boutique; Necklace: Stella & Dot; Polish: Essie Lapis of Luxury

Have a great Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend!

TGIF

Thank. God. It's. Friday. I swear with each passing week, the emphasis on the "G" portion of that phrase gets a bit stronger. Maybe it's the AC blues. You know, when you're stuck inside a stark office building while the sun is shining outside. (Don't get me wrong, I love work. I just wish my desk was situated on a beach overlooking the ocean... too much to ask?)

My weekends are usually the same during the summer. Eat, drink, sun myself crispy, sleep, repeat. And if you follow me on Instagram, you are already bombarded with shots of just about every meal I eat and every outfit I don.

Clockwise: Today's outfit; Strawberry Beer = to die for; Dinner on the waterfront; Ridiculous banana cheesecake crepe

Clockwise: Wednesday's outfit, Fig & Prosciutto Pizza; My "Pister" and me; Coolest bar chandelier ever

See all the fun you're missing! (Clearly I'm my biggest fan.) But if you want to join in on the overindulgence that is Instagram, you can follow me @LsFashionDish. And whether you're headed to the Cape this weekend or staying in the city, I hope you have a fabulous weekend!

See you Monday!

Scalloped Edges

It's all in the details. What immediately drew me to this shirt was the embroidery on the scalloped edges. Feminine and dainty, I just had to have it. Per Friday's post, I was originally inspired to pair the top and shorts with a pair of fringed sandals and some colorful accents. Considering I don't yet own this adorable Rebecca Minkoff bag, (it's on the birthday wish list) I opted for a neutral straw bag and my new wedges. Accessories were minimal because it was just too flipping hot out to wear anything other than a few basics. How would you style this top?

 Top: Zara; Shorts: J.Crew; Bag: Michael Kors via Rue La La; Wedges: Seychelles via DSW (Thanks to Britt + Whit!); Bracelets: Boutique & F21

Have a wonderful Monday!
