Teaming Up with Trollbeads for V-Day

I'm super pumped to partner up with Trollbeads for my latest post!  They asked me to style a fabulous Valentine's day look, and I, of course, happily obliged.  I don't know if you guys remember, but a while back, I featured this dress as a find-of-the-day.  Lucky for y'all, it's still available online, and it's even MORE affordable than before. 

For those of you interested, it's currently on sale for $22.50, which is a total steal because it was originally $57. The textured mesh & cutout front ooze sexy, but the length balances everything out. You're showing a tasteful pop of skin up top, and everything else is modest so you're still keeping it classy.  The straps are adjustable, and the waistband stretches so you'll look amazing AND be comfortable all night.  I mean, does it really get much better than that?

Let's take a closer look at my fabulous accessories.  LBDs are like blank canvases begging to be adorned so jewelry is an absolute must.  I wanted to look elegant so I went with simple but classic baubles to elevate my ensemble. I'm wearing Trollbeads' espresso noir bangle + matching earrings and carrying a gorgeous clutch from Lily Rain.

Flaunting DVF Florals

Man, I'm really missing warm weather right about now.  I'm seriously freezing my butt off in Maryland.  I kind of wish I could turn back time and go back to Florida!  I definitely wouldn't mind spending a few extra days there.  I didn't take many outfit shots during vacay - this is actually the only one - BUT I snapped a bunch of travel photos so stay tuned! I'll be sharing them all on SS very soon.

I'm all about florals for today's featured look.  I bought this gorgeous DVF dress online at Last Call back in November for *prepare yourself* $49.10 (!!!!!).  Are you clapping for me right now? Because you totally should be, ha!  In all seriousness though, I was beyond THRILLED to discover this find.  

This is my first official DVF piece, guys!  I've always been a huge fan of her printed wrap dresses, but as y'all probably know, her collection tends to be on the pricier side so I refrained.  Hashtag self-control FTW!  So naturally, when I saw this fabulous dress available online for a fraction of the price - it was originally $245.50 - I snatched it up without thinking twice.

My parents and I were going out to dinner at a fancy schmancy place in Naples so I decided to dress up for the occasion...not that you ever need a reason to dress up, but you know what I mean.  We had reservations at HobNob, a high-end American bistro, and I was super excited because they had glowing reviews on Yelp.  Turns out, the hype was totally warranted.  I was beyond impressed with their food, and I can't wait to tell you guys more about their noms in my travel diary!

Anywho - sorry, I totally got sidetracked - for my outfit of the night, I accessorized with a matching clutch and beige platform heels to elongate my legs.  I ordered these shoes on AMICLUBWEAR's website, and they're surprisingly comfortable.  I say "surprisingly" because they're like 6" high.  I'm actually a pretty big fan of their shoe collection.  They carry a ton of different brands, but my favorites are Privileged and Qupid.  If you're interested in purchasing these heels for yourself, you can buy them here.  They're currently on sale for $12.99 (originally $34.99) so you're in luck!  Have you guys found any bargain buys recently? If yes, make sure you leave a comment below telling me all about it.
