While I won’t be going all out on my summer wardrobe shopping, I am looking forward to adding a few laid back updates and replacing some staples. Shopbop is now giving us 15% off orders of $300 or 25% of $600 or more off everything labeled Key Style with code JUST4U so we can do just that and save a little green. This sale includes sale items like this gorgeous Misa dress I currently have in my cart, and rarely…

Even though Labor Day has come and gone, summer does not officially end until September 23rd over here. When we are lucky, we get a little extended Indian Summer on the East Coast.
