When In Doubt Make It a Dress

Outfit Details:

dress: Notations (c/o)

belt: HauteLook

heels: Sole Society

hair freshly done by Daniel at Iva Bella Salon

Notations was so nice to send me some of their pieces to check out and this was one of them. It actually came with a belt, and I believe it is supposed to be a wrap sweater. However, I will say I was slightly apprehensive about wearing this color. Brown is not usually a color I am drawn to wearing, unless it is a darker, chocolatey shade. So I made a decision to just wear it as a wrap dress and figured maybe it would tend towards a slightly 70's look. So I ran with that! 

 Instead of the tie belt that came with it, I replaced it with a wide belt. Voila! I transformed it into a dress! I definitely liked this look, but I know if my hair was darker, the color would have been more flattering. The material of the dress/ sweater was so extremely soft and a dream to wear!

Stay tuned for more treasures from Notations and NY Collection! 

On a side note... I went to the Gilt City Warehouse sale in DC...stay tuned for a peak at those treasures as well!

Tucson Boutique: Olytata

While I was in Tucson visiting my friend Celesste she brought me to this lovely shop, Olytata. I wanted to find a few gifts for my family and I was able to tackle most of it all here. The owner was so patient and nice in helping me choose the right things and letting me try on almost every ring in the store as a gift for my sister and one for me too!   

As you can see from all of the images below, that this shop is such a special place and you can find a special something for anyone and even for yourself! I was very lucky that the owner allowed me to take some photos of this unique and gorgeous shop!
