Kora Rae Carolina Dress

                  

Dress: Kora Rae (use 'MALLORYSAUER1' at checkout for $50 off!) / Shoes: Chinese Laundry

Happy birthday to me! I celebrated my birthday this weekend (actual birthday was Monday) and had an absolutely wonderful weekend. Spent time with friends, finally went to Ophelia's, a hip new restaurant in Denver, and ended the celebrations with a fun dinner with friends. Low key and relaxing - just what I needed.

I am absolutely obsessed with this dress. I wore it to work on Monday - apparently big girl duties still apply, even on your birthday. It was the perfect dress for feeling pretty while still being professional. Oh but does this dress go way beyond the office. This dress can be worn FOUR different ways. Yes, four. I've shown two of them above - the light blue layer can flip forward or backwards. In addition to these two looks, there is a sash that comes with the dress that can be worn with the front piece flipped either way. How cool is that?!

I typically don't spend a ton of money on one single piece of clothing (shoes are obviously excluded - sorry, Mom), but this dress was definitely worth the price tag. I'm a sucker for anything versatile. The silhouette is classic, the color is timeless and the quality is fantastic. I will absolutely invest in pieces that will last - both in terms of quality and seasonality. This dress is no exception.

Kora Rae is a new brand to me and I am in LOVE with their pieces! I encourage you to check out their selection - something might be right up your alley! Best news? Use 'MALLORYSAUER1' at checkout for $50 off your purchase!

Hope you have a wonderful rest of your week!

Happy Monday everyone! Hope you all had a good weekend!

Today I'm sharing an outfit that I wore while in Laguna Beach last weekend for a girlfriend's bachelorette party. Holy cow did we have fun. It was the perfect weekend in Laguna. We went shopping, spent time on the beach, went out to a club and had tons of yummy meals.

Our last night there we went out to dinner and sat on the patio - which is where I wore this outfit. I have been loving these jeans and wearing them a ton lately, so of course I used our dinner as an excuse to dress them up. I wanted the shoes to be the highlight of the outfit. Pairing destroyed white skinnies with a solid high-low top did just that. This was the perfect summer night outfit. Sometimes the most simple things paired together create the best outfits.

Next week I'll be sharing my first makeup review! I'm so excited to add that element to my blog. Stay tuned!

Have a great week everyone!

Happy Monday, friends! Hope you had a great weekend! My weekend was packed with Pure Barre. I taught classes both Saturday and Sunday - they were all filled with energy and hard working ladies, something I just love! I also spent some time with friends and family, and feel refreshed and ready for the week.

This is the last week of my Apricot Lane outfit series. This was such a fun collaboration, and I can't wait to work with them again. The staff is amazing and their selection is superb. Every time I walk in they have new pieces, all of which are just amazing and perfect for summer (and reasonably priced, might I add!).

I fell in love with this maxi dress immediately. There is just something so effortless and chic about it. I love that it has that Grecian feel, which is a vibe I'm always a sucker for. The slits are one of my favorite elements of the dress - movement isn't limited and showing a little leg is always fun. I think maxi's are a summer staple and can easily be dressed up or down. This one in particular could be dressed down with flat sandals, a messy bun and a light colored jean jacket for a cool, casual summer evening. Maxi dresses are easy and effortless while still providing instant glam - something every girl should have in her closet.

I want to hear from you! Did you enjoy this outfit series? Is this something you would like to see again with another boutique? I'd love to hear what you thought!
