Happy Memorial Day!  It feels fitting to share a look that’s equal parts chic and patriotic.  This blue bell sleeve blouse from Adorabelles seemed perfect for the long weekend and is one that I know I’ll be able to wear all summer long and into fall.

BTW, I did a mini revamp of the site over the weekend so be sue to check out the new Shop pages as well as the updated sidebar! Would love to hear your thoughts & if there’s anything else you’d like to see.

I mentioned snagging this cute off the shoulder, blue bell sleeve top from Adorabelles, but let me tell you the quick story behind the boutique!  Adorabelles has two locations here in Kentucky {Georgetown & Richmond}, and is owned by my friend Devin.  The stores have grown like crazy the past few years & I always love seeing what colorful, bold, and trendy new arrivals are showing up online.  {Unashamed to share that I regularly stalk their Instagram!}

I wish that I lived just a little bit closer to one of the boutiques, but I’m always able to shop online and shipping is free for purchases over $25.  One of the reasons I really adore this small business is that everything is priced under $50.

Currently crushing on this cute green striped top, this embroidered, off the shoulder blouse, this dress, and this embroidered top that comes in two colors!

Anyone else love all the fun earrings coming out but kind of miss their studs?  Same girl.  It’s no secret that I love all things druzy so I was super excited about the new studs that Adorabelles has in stock!  They have four different colors in that are all perfect for everyday wear.  And at under $10, you might as well snag a few pairs for yourself, I mean…your friends.

Also really loving these pom pom earrings; they’re right on trend and I love the fun colors in this pair for summertime.

To go with the Americana theme, I pulled out my trusty red bandana and knotted it for a fun neck scarf that would match my striped shorts and fun slide sandals.
