memorial day style

I carefully follow the fashion rule "no white after labor day", which means that on memorial day I proudly wear an all white outfit to ring in white clothing season. here are some of white outfits with necklace pairings that I have styled:

outfit 1: katie bartels kauai wood and coral necklace, melissa odabash toya embroidered jersey dress // outfit 2: katie bartels seconsett coral necklace, j.crew vintage cotton t-shirt, theory clah stretch linen-blend shorts // outfit 3: katie bartels natalie necklace in silver and mint, T by alexander wang ruched mesh-jersey dress

style icon: beyonce

I am obsessed with beyonce. you know when people ask you 'if you could have dinner with anyone who would it be?'. my answer is: beyonce. besides being absolutely stunning and incredibly talented, I sincerely believe she's for real. she gives off an amazing energy and you can tell she's grateful for all of her success and good fortune in life. 

here are some of my favorite looks she's worn over the years:

rocking a canary yellow dress

fun fact: beyonce's favorite color is yellow

always love a gold sparkle dress

those emerald earrings! 

orange dress + emerald earrings = fabulousness

very few people can pull off this silhouette as well as beyonce

rocking peplum in 2008 before the trend, naturally

summer soundtrack

I'm off to vermont for memorial day weekend. I'm ready for the relaxing environment and quality time with my parents. I put together this mix for the road trip and decided to share. its a compilation of some of my all time favorite songs along with some new music that I'm obsessed with and have been listening to non stop. 

check it out here. enjoy!
