to the max


If you stopped by my blog recently or follow me on TWITTER you know that Photobucket was having some issues and all the images from my blog disappeared for a few days. So annoying, but more scary than anything.


It's painful to think all your hard work could be gone just like that. But on a brighter note I won a great giveaway...a $100 gift certificate to CHICSHOP thanks to one of my favorite bloggers ZARNA. Can't wait to use it!


This maxi dress is obviously perfect for summer and the beach, but I feel like pairing it with a button down makes it slightly more sophisticated.


wearing: f21 maxi dress, j crew button down, necklace from macys
worn: out & about

  1. Gorgeous necklace!!!
    So that's what's going on with Photobucket. Tried uploading some images today, and they weren't taking:(
    Good to know it wasn't permanent; else, I'd probably wig out a bit too.

  28. I love maxi dresses. I have a very similar one in a bright green from Old Navy. I'll be sure to remix it with collard shirt with stripes. The necklace is a festive piece that added the right amount of pizazz. Congrats on your win from Zarna's blog. Isn't she stunning and her style fantasmagorical?

  31. It’s really scary thinking that your hard work might be gone. Your dress looks a little bit too long, it would have looked better if it was taken in a little bit. That necklace is the strawberry on the ice-cream, a beautiful eye-catcher.;)
