now that may is on our radar screen i’m certain many of you have firmed up vacation plans. summer is fast approaching. perhaps you’re lucky enough to be traveling to europe or maybe it’s a long weekend spent at the beach. or i’ll let you fill in the blank. wherever your destination lies, it’s always a good idea to bring along a lightweight dress that’s a dream to pack. and simply dreamier to wear. today’s lbd is just such a dress. so what if its decided to give me the cold shoulder? because that’s the one detail currently on trend. if you find yourself sitting on the fence when it comes time to shell out big bucks for the current fad take heart. this is when i head on over to target to search for more affordable options. if i end up liking the latest craze i can always upgrade. as usual, target did not disappoint. first i stumbled upon this fab dress. then i scored a pair of oh-so-chic lace-up sandals also on-trend. since my lbd can take a punch due to its neutral color scheme, i piled on the accessories. summer is never the time to be shy so let your personality shine with a knock-out necklace, earrings, or a stack of arm candy. maybe all three! lately, my bling style philosophy has definitely been more is more. sometimes, a girl’s just gotta have fun. especially when on vacay! can’t you just imagine roaming the streets of italy in this charming ensemble, enjoying the dolce vita? now, where’s that cappuccino? ciao, bella!

Cannot believe you got this dress at target. Stunning. I would have never thought to wear cute flats like this either but you carry it well. I wondering how tall are you?
isn’t target the best?! i never know what i’m going to find besides toilet paper. I’m close to 5’8″ and these sandals couldn’t be any cuter.
