 Graphic tees and ripped up denim? Yes, please! These are go-tos in my closet. I love that One Teaspoon takes distressed to a whole new level. Although my mom would tell me I need new jeans (without holes)…lol. 

And of course ripped denim always looks good with Manolos!

Shop the look at LaLa Couture Boutique. Call 954-712-1100 to order. 

Pineapple Print

   

  

  

 Pineapple print is a big trend for summer, and I was thrilled when Rails LA put the print on my favorite shirt…the Britt rolled sleeve. Lightweight and easy, perfect for the summer heat. I paired it with Arizona Birkenstocks, a leather crossbody from Hammitt LA, and my favorite One Teaspoon Bandits. 

Get the look at LaLa Couture Boutique. Call 954-712-1100 to order.

White Mini

   

  

  

  

 The perfect little summer dress…the Pina Colada Mini by For Love and Lemons. It’s the perfect day dress or poolside coverup. Add a real pina colada and you’re set. Find the dress here.

My boater hat from J Crew is sold out in this color, but I also love it in the navy.

Grab a pair of Quay Australia sunnies from LaLa Couture Boutique (call 954-712-1100 to order- they ship free!)

The shoes are by Steve Madden…super comfy, affordable and chic.

Thanks for checking out the blog!

The Shirt Dress

    
      
   
Since it’s bodering on scorching here in South Florida, I like to keep my summer outfits light and airy. That’s why I LOVE this shirt dress. It’s casual, easy and flattering. It’s by a brand called Glam and they sell these dresses at LaLa Couture. I have it in so many colors! My favorite is the pink (and that happens to be my hubby’s fave color on me!) Their summer colors are on sale now and it’s less than $50! Call 954-712-1100 to order. 

The sandals are by Joie and are currently on sale on their website here. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve made! Plus there are three colors to choose from and an additional 20% off through August 3rd.

My sunglasses are by Quay Australia, also available at LaLa (bonus-they’re $39!) My handbag is the Amorous Satchel in biscuit by Rebecca Minkoff. By the time I posted this blog it had sold out, but the white is just as beautiful for summer and is also on sale here.

Happy sale shopping!

XOXO,

Molly

Black and White is Always Right

   

  

  

  

There’s no replacing the classic look of black and white. Although I am a huge fan of bold color, especially for summer, I love to tone it down every once in a while. 

I am so excited that slides have come back into style! It does take me back to my college days…but as a new mom I’m more excited about the comfort. I sprung for some tan Birkenstocks but also wanted  other colors and didn’t want to break the bank. These are from Forever21. They’re comfy and on trend. I sized up a half size.

My entire outfit (minus the shoes) is from LaLa Couture Boutique. The jogger shorts are by Heather. Tank is from Chaser paired with a lace Coobie bra. Sunnies are by Quay Australia and are available for purchase at LaLa. Call 954-712-1100 to order. 
XOXO, 

Molly

Well…a lot has changed over the last 9 months! My husband and I are expecting our first baby boy this July. We couldn’t be more excited or nervous.

Between being pregnant, moving, and running a retail store, I haven’t had much time to put into my blog. I had hopes of capturing some fabulous styled maternity looks, but it seems like life just got so busy in between! So, I’ve decided to share with you my maternity photo shoot which was such a special time for my growing family.

My photographer, Kristin Potenti of KP Studios, really nailed exactly what I was looking for in the shoot. I wanted to do a few different looks, and for some reason, had my heart set on a whimsical/boho/romantic vibe with none other than a gorgeous horse. Horse and flower crown? Right up my alley!

I LOVE DIY projects (when I have the time) and decided to take a shot at making my own floral crown. Let’s just say, 3 hours, 2 re-dos, 10 you-tube videos later and tons of glue gun shreds, I had my masterpiece. I will need to perfect my craft before I turn selling floral crowns into my next business 😉

The first few photos we shot were at my home. I wanted something really special for my husband and myself. I was a little nervous about posting my bare belly, but people post bikini selfies all the time, so why not? The pregnant belly is beautiful and shows the little miracle that is growing inside.

I loved Rach Parcell of Pink and Peonies beautiful pink rose kimono/robe, and actually found a similar one at Forever 21. I paired it with a Coobie Bra (super comfy, one-size fits all) which you can find on Amazon.

My puppy was excited to be a part of the shoot- he is excited to be a big brother!

The next outfit I chose was a gorgeous crochet caftan by Jen’s Pirate Booty. You can purchase the caftan here from LaLa Couture Boutique (call to order). I love the way my photographer edited these photos. It was really a special moment for my husband and me.

The final shots were taken at Robbins Park in Davie, FL. We rented the most beautiful horse, Ellie, for the shoot. It was actually really funny- Ellie was way more into eating grass and sneezing than having her photo taken. Every time I would pull her up from trying to the eat the grass, my dress would fall down! I don’t know how in the world my photographer got such amazing photos! It was pretty amusing! Wardrobe stylist Britta Foreman was there to help me fix my dress every time (thank goodness!).

Speaking of the dress…I found this beauty on Etsy from The Citrus Branch. It was perfect for the shoot because you could let it be open in the front, or keep it closed.

I had a wonderful time shooting these maternity photos, and I hope you enjoyed as well! I linked all of the looks to where you can purchase above.

A big thank you to the following for helping make the maternity shoot a huge success:

As we transition from summer to fall here in South Florida, I’ll soon be retiring the shorts for jeans, but for now I’m loving all shorts by One Teaspoon. I can’t get enough! There are no other shorts like them; they have distressed detailing and a super sexy fit that shows off a bit of leg.

351-lala-styled-7-22-14

Booties with shorts create a great street style look. These Sam Edelmann moto booties remind me of the Chloe Suzanna Stud Bootie (minus the studs and the price tag.) Bonus: they are ridiculously comfortable.

269-lala-styled-7-22-14

One of my favorite brands of graphic tees is Chaser. Their fabric is super soft and their graphics are uber cool. I happen to LOVE the “Made in the USA” eagle tank because it’s a little bit rock-n-roll.My accessories are from various places. I usually lean toward wearing more gold, but I loved silver with this outfit; it also brings out the silver detailing on the boots. I added one of my favorite floppy hats to complete the look.

264-lala-styled-7-22-14

My dear friend and photographer, Kristin Potenti and I had a really fun time shooting in this location. Of course I had to take a photo with the “No Trespassing” sign. A bit mischievous, I know 🙂

We also happened to catch the train as it was going by…

Her Royal Catness

web-080-lala-styled-7-22-14

Royal blue- one of my all-time favorite colors. It’s a shade that is flattering on every skin tone. I mixed up the look by adding a touch of leopard and leather (it’s vegan leather.)

web-133-lala-styled-7-22-14

This leopard top comes from one of my favorite emerging designers, Brittany Rose Collections. Check out her website here.

A simple black heel with an ankle strap adds sex appeal. I am loving the new line by Schutz! Top it off with a leather talon cuff by Ted Rossi (my favorite and most-worn accessory) and you’ve got yourself the perfect nighttime outfit.

Lime, Stripes and Sneaks

How do you make a monochrome print stand out? Add a pop of color! Here, I paired an oldie but goodie Susana Monaco skirt in lime with a black and white striped top from Macy’s.

To keep it casual and sporty-chic, I chose my go-to sneaks: slip-on white converse. These are super comfy and look great with just about anything; everything from dresses to jeans to in-between.

web-pc-064-lala-styled-7-22-14

I completed the look by adding my favorite panama hat and snakeskin leather crossbody bag (it also converts into a clutch.) The turquoise really complements the lime.

web-pc-046-lala-styled-7-22-14

When I was younger, I remember always wanting to wear heels walking around the city, and my mom used to always shake her head and say, “You’re going to regret it!” And I always did. I’m so glad sneakers are back in style! I’ll save the heels for girl’s night out.

Sweet as a Peach

DSC_0091 crop

Colored shorts are a staple for the warm weather here in Florida. I love this color peach; it reminds me of sherbert! I paired it with a pretty floral/lace cami by Ark N Co and my favorite white blazer from Zara.

DSC_0119

I actually styled this with two different handbags. I love the Rebecca Minkoff clutch for a dressier occasion.

DSC_0187

The oversized hobo is a better option for a more casual/daytime look. My heels are by Sam Edelman (obsessing over anything with an ankle strap right now.)

DSC_0191

I loved shooting in this outfit!

All styles are available at my store, with the exception of the blazer, which is sold at out Zara. I found a similar one here at Asos.
