Things I’m Digging Lately- Latest Online Shopping Haul

August 19, 2014

Let me start off this post with a disclaimer.  I have been really good lately when it has come to shopping.  Like really good.  I can’t honestly say it has been a conscious effort more like I have been so busy that I haven’t had time for my online stalking and TJMaxx/Target outings.  With that said, my recent purchases have all been very budget savvy.  I try to stock up on the Fall staples before the season is fully underway that way I don’t feel like I need to scramble and go out picking up things when I really need them and I’m at the mercy of a lack of sale.  Luckily in Florida our cold weather staples since we wear them for like two months tend to allow us to use them again the next season.  Last year I really stocked up on booties.  I got black, grey and camel staples. These grey Toms booties were on major repeat.  They seriously go with everything.

So let’s get into the recent purchases that I am digging.

This open back shirt.

Twist-Back Chiffon Top///Basically live in these Zara leggings similar here///booties old but similar save here and here (get out of here when did she start designing shoes??)///necklace old similar here and here///Ray-ban Sunnies

I honestly insist you get this top.  It is so perfect for the Fall.  It looks super expensive and for such a great price.  The open back is just revealing enough to spice up any cold weather outfit.  Pair with some skinnies and booties.  I got it in black but wish I got the Fuchsia as well!  Scoop it up now before it sells out!

This perfect striped top

It has a perfect weight, drape and length to it.  I think I may order another one.
This bridal white lace dress.

I am always looking for lace dresses.  They are impossible in my opinion because they either have no shape, look cheap or just don’t lay right.  This dress changes all of that. If you have been in the market for a perfect fitting cream lace dress or black lace dress get this dress.  I promise you will not regret it!  It does run small I ordered a Medium and it fits just right!  Oh and it’s on sale….no big deal ;-)
This tribal print maxi
I have been on the hunt for a Fall transition maxi dress and Pamela highlighted this one and I am obsessed. In Florida, the early part of Fall is still pretty hot, so dresses still work but I like how this maxi isn’t such a Summery print.  The material is silky and doesn’t wrinkle.  This easily looks like a SHOPBOP dress but no one will guess it’s under $25!  I guarantee it will sell out quick!
Finally two jewelry obsessions.  I know I highlighted my recent delicate stack bracelets but I seriously love them more and more every day.  The delicate chain mixed with the thin bangles it’s the perfect combination.
Infinity bracelet///triple stack Alex & Ani set
These delicate stackable gold rings.  Not easy to wear to work and try to write with……but fun to wear out!  
sold out (willow stacking rings) but similar here and here
Last.  My Target cross body purse has been on heavy rotation this Summer but it is bright purple.  I have this one on it’s way.  Talk about a perfect Fall purse right?
Black cross body purse///also loving this one in red///my go to but in black
Alright so what do y’all think?  What pieces have you picked up for the Fall?  Tell me about your recent finds!  Do you like the Digging posts about makeup, skincare, fashion or all of the above?  xoxoxo

  6. Digging all of your fall staples – I love the striped sweater – I probably have like 100 of them haha!! Seeing as how I live in the cold, I put away my maxis and I really like to sweaters with elbow patches…so cute and let’s not forget the boots – I have so many of those!! You are rocking the bridal lace and I love the midi rings…but like you said it might be hard to wear on the daily!! As for the cross body – love the new one you have coming your way!

  7. sooooo cute. loving that first top/outfit. black is best. and that striped top is pretty much like 50 of my shirts in my closet now (and, hangs head, like the one i have on currently) ha. but i love. what can i say i’m a stripes girl? xo

  9. yahh! i love all your picks — esp that striped shirt + maxi dress. it’ll be a while til i can wear fall stuff in charleston (it’ll be 95 today!) but im excited to bring out my sweaters + boots! xo jillian – cornflake dreams

  11. Love your maxi and your lace dress! I’m also very jealous of the fact that its summer year round for you. :-) I’ve also decided that I want to get some booties for fall/winter. We get a ton of them at work and I wasn’t a fan at first, but after seeing them paired with different outfits, I think that they’re really cute. Hope that you are having a great day so far! :-)

  12. That’s it. I’m coming to FL and you’re styling me, okay? I see all your posts and think “WHY can’t I dress like her!?!” I suck at shopping, picking out clothes, all of it. It’s just not my thing. stores overwhelm me and nothing ever fits right. You’re in charge, okay? (And could you be any more beautiful? For realsy).

  14. That lace dress looks just like the one that I wore to my rehearsal dinner – mine was from the Banana Republic outlet. I love it! I plan to transition it over to fall with an army green vest or jacket, tights and some booties. Love your picks!

  25. I am in love with that maxi dress, and the striped top.. the open back top is fabulous on you! oh and that lace dress, gorgeous. i had one from ASOS very similar that I actually wanted to be my wedding dress (courthouse + dinner was the original plan) but then we had a ‘real’ wedding so i never wore it.

  28. But really, can we just spend the day shopping together? Please?! I love every last one of these looks on your! Just perfect! I haven’t started my fall shopping yet because ummm its going to be 100 degrees this weekend and I just cant even think about sweaters. Its ok, we still have a good 2-3 months before we need them haha! I really need a lot this year though. Quite a few of my sweaters haven’t help their shape from last year and I need some flats for fun and flats for work. Also, I have zero booties and I think I need some.

  29. I WANT THAT BLACK TOP AND WILL BE BUYING IT ASAP. My husband will thank you later for that purchase hahaha ;)
    Love all of this stuff girly! If only we could share closets!

  32. I am loving that twist back top! Also I need some black skinnies but I hate hate HATE jean shopping. It’s too stinkin hot. (PS you must have been dying of heatstroke while photographing your all black ensemble)

  40. I love the items! I used to have a little cute ring but somehow I lost it… booo. I like the stackables too- they are cute. It seems like this summer was not as ‘summery’ as usual for me but I still have a couple months of heat to go in AZ

  44. i love everything in this post! but that tribal print maxi…LOVE! a little trip to forever 21 is on my to do list tomorrow now. my wallet does not thank you ;) haha

  47. LOVING the new pictures first of all. And that striped shirt is perfection. Of course you know how I feel about that maxi… obsessed! Did you get it in store or did you have to order it?

  48. Love all your new goodies. I really love that black top in the first picture! So fab!! That white lace dress is amazing!! You have great taste in clothing. You know my recent purchase. Haven’t really purchased any fall clothing yet other than a pair of leggings.

  49. I just need to take a minute and tell you these photos are so on point! I love all of your picks – I wish we could still wear dresses like those in the fall. Nice fall weather lasts about 4 weeks here then it’s hats scarves and gloves for the next 6 + months. I wish the transitional temps stuck around a little bit longer, fall fashion is the best!
