Since seeing the faux leather jacket during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I’ve been dying to wear mine. My leather jacket was a purchase from a previous Anniversary Sale and it’s one of my favorite layers in the fall and winter. Last Saturday, there was a serious chill (and wind) in the air and an extra layer became a necessity. I paired this gingham dress and leather jacket together for an easy summer to fall transitional look that happened to be a little preppy and a little edgy.

Cobalt Blue Peplum Dress
Finding the perfect dress for a wedding can be a challenge, especially when it’s a summertime wedding. The heat and humidity are huge factors when determining your look for the day. My cousin’s wedding was last weekend in downtown Annapolis and I had spent months trying to find the perfect dress. When I stumbled upon this cobalt blue peplum dress a few months ago, I knew it would be perfect for their nautical themed wedding.
Black Peplum Top and Skinny Jeans
I guess this week is statement top week here on A Blonde’s Moment! With the peplum hemline and the fun sleeves, this black peplum top and skinny jeans makes for the perfect date night outfit.
Red Double Ruffle Sleeve Top
I’ve never met a ruffle I didn’t love. The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale can be a little overwhelming (to say the least!). So much so that when I was creating last week’s post all about the sale (you can see that here) I totally missed this red double ruffle sleeve top.
One Shoulder Gingham Dress: Summer BBQ Outfit
Is there anything more summer than a one shoulder gingham dress? I have spent the last few months searching for a gingham dress to add to my closet, but didn’t have much luck until I stumbled upon this one. Gingham is one of my favorite prints of the season and it only seemed fitting to add another to my collection (you might remember last year’s from this post). Needless to say that when I found a one shoulder dress that also happened to be gingham, it seemed too good to be true!Read More
Cold Shoulder Top
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times: there is something about a cold shoulder top this spring and summer. I spotted this top before we went to California and was so excited to pair it with shorts and white jeans. Well, it was pretty warm while we were in the desert and I stuck to mostly dresses. But I had the opportunity to pair it with my favorite high-waisted jeans and white accessories a few weeks ago when we got back to Virginia.Read More

Fourth of July Outfit Idea
Happy Monday, friends! With the Fourth of July just a little over a week away, I wanted to share a patriotic outfit idea that would be perfect for a BBQ. Not only is this ruffle dress super light and cool, I found the most perfect bag for any summer event. More on that below!Read More
I Love My Dog
Happy almost Friday, friends! Graphic shirts have been all the rage but I really haven’t jumped on this “trend train” until recently. My first real graphic tee was this blonde tee that I shared in this post a few months ago. Personally, I’m not a huge fan of plastering brand names and logos all over my clothing and accessories and I think that is probably why in the past I have shied away from this trend. But, when a saying has a special meaning to me or is completely and totally relatable, I wear it loud and proud! Needless to say this particular sweatshirt couldn’t be more perfect.
Floral Cold Shoulder(ish)
This floral top has been on serious repeat this spring and summer. You may remember when I styled it HERE with a navy blazer during the cooler months and now it’s been my go-to top to wear with white jeans. I wore this top while in California and actually skipped the cold shoulder feature. But when I wore it this past weekend, I styled it as it was intended, with the cold shoulder!Read More
