Worn for our daily walk in the park one day last week. It's been so hot lately that I've not wanted to wear anything. Unfortunately that's frowned upon in public so I chose an airy skirt and tank top combo. Sadly my phone has outgrown this purse so if I have no pockets in my outfit I'm stuck holding it the whole time. But it's so cute that it's worth it! It was also the first thing I ever bought at Net-a-Porter. I had won a gift card in 2010 through their old affiliate network and used that to buy it.

I wasn't in the mood to take outfit pictures in the heat when I wore this outfit so we decided to do an indoor shoot with my collection wall! These two shelving units are from my grandparents house. My grandfather made them YEARS ago (we're talking way before I was born) and offered them to us when we moved. There were 3 separate pieces but we weren't sure if we'd need or be able to fit all three and just took 2. They weren't painted so rather than having dark brown wood shelves we painted them white so whatever we put on them would pop.

90% of the items on the shelves are mine, thanks to my understanding fiancé. He let me have them to show off my collectibles and he gets to turn the finished basement into a video game/man cave area. Luckily he loves Harry Potter too (and likes Disney) so he doesn't mind having that be the focal point of the living room. Most of my Harry Potter items (left shelving unit) are pretty rare. This is only a small selection of my collection, I have at least 5 rubbermaids full of more stuff. This is just the best of the best.

The other unit is a mixture of Disney and other items. You'll see some Game of Thrones, The Princess Bride, Lord of the Rings, a nod to Gilmore Girls and some of fiancés books. I also have some of my gemstones mixed in here and there. They used to be displayed all in one place but I decided to spread them throughout the house. I don't have as much rare Disney memorabilia but I hope to change that eventually, it's just hard to know where to start! I do have more that's not on display since it's in boxes, so we'll see what comes and goes from the shelves as we organize.

Tee: Vince (The Outnet), Floral Shorts: Zara, Suede Mules: Franco Sarto 'Dolly (DSW)

I've had this dress for almost 8 years and it remains a favorite. The obvious reason is because it's purple, but I also love the "dancing lights" pattern. It's is just so much fun.  It also matches perfectly with my Marc Jacobs bag and Sseko sandals! I couldn't redo the same sandal tie I did in the original outfit (you can tie these any way you want with different color fabric strips!) so I had the photographer/fiance try his hand at it. I think he did a pretty darn good job!

Keeping things extra short and sweet today since I had a crazy work day yesterday! I've been meaning to wear this outfit for a few weeks but it has been so hot lately I had to keep putting it off. Finally we had a cooler day so I could wear these pants. I'm not 100% happy with my shoe choice but I haven't worn these much since getting them for my birthday last year and decided to give them some love.

Everyone is obsessing over the Nordstrom sale and here I am talking about The Outnet's Clearance Sale and Net-a-Porter's End of Season Sale! Both are in their final stretch (last 8 hours for The Outnet) so its the time to scoop up amazing deals!  You can get an extra 20% off "Sale Must-Haves" over at Net-a-Porter - the discount will be applied once you start the checkout process. Get an extra 25% off at The Outnet with code LASTCHANCE!

Some of my favorite wardrobe pieces are from the Net-a-Porter sale in years past! From my Lanvin sandals and MIH jeans to Burberry dresses and DKNY sweaters I've gotten so many amazing deals. Here's what I would add to my closet from this sale if I didn't have a mortgage to pay. BUT I did buy my wedding dress and shoes in the Net-a-Porter sale last week! Won't share them until after though. (Hopefully the shoes fit!)

The Outnet Sale: J Brand velvet skinny pants, Haute Hippie Crepe de chine dress,  L'agence Belted layered printed silk-chiffon mini skirt, Bailey 44 Stretch-modal jersey jacket, Jérôme Dreyfuss Martin leopard-print calf hair shoulder bag, Aamaya by Priyanka Rose gold-plated faux pearl earrings

Net-a-Porter Sale:

This outfit is full of sale finds! The tee was $20 from The Outnet's clearance sale a couple years ago and it retailed for $135...sheesh! The rainforest print Carven skirt is from the Net-a-Porter sale quite a few years ago and the Lanvin studded suede sandals are also from the Net-a-Porter sale! I've made my single purchase for this year's sale but you won't see what it is for a few months. *wink wink*

I wore this to hang out with Lydia for a bit on Saturday afternoon. We headed to lunch at Joey C's Boathouse and then came to this fun "sea wall" for our outfit photos. This is the first time in a while  that we have taken photos together. The past few times we've gotten together we haven't been in the mood to take out the tripod for double shots. Luckily this time we had my lovely photographer/fiance to do all the work.
