She’s My Cherry Pie: the Draper James Dress Your Closet Needs

It’s not a well-kept secret that blogging allows me some very cool opportunities.  Last month after the Summit at Fritz Farm opened in Lexington, Kentucky, I got invited to the Draper James grand opening.  Unfamiliar with the brand?  Draper James is the southern inspired clothing, accessory and home line started by Reese Witherspoon.  The Lexington store is the third overall following the first store in Nashville and another in Dallas.

If You Like Piña Coladas & Getting Caught in the Rain

I can’t believe it’s already Wednesday!  I’m sharing my go to summer outfit for this month’s How I Style It which is all about tropical prints.  During the summer months, I love to throw on a summer dress with my jean vest.  I just snagged this palm print dress that’s a perfect dupe for the Topshop one from last year and it was calling for my jean vest.

Made My Day, Chambray; Toucan Do It!

{This post has been sponsored by Adorabelles.  Thank you for supporting the brands that allow me to pursue What Nicole Wore!  As always, all opinions are my own.}

While I know lots of people hate the heat of summer, I’ve always loved the bold colors, fun textures and embellishments that come with summer fashion.  And that’s why this off the shoulder, pom pom dress from Adorabelles was a no brainer for me.  I mean rainbow pom poms? Sign a girl up STAT.
