As Seen on Instagram: What I Wore

Happy Friday! Hope you had an awesome week. I feel like I spent a lot of mine looking over to do lists and thankfully crossing things off.

milly dress (on sale) via rent the runway, available for rentals + sunglasses {on sale} + kate spade clutch {similar} + tahari scallop flats {similar} + ashiana london necklace c/o rocksbox + watch {similar}

This was my first experience with Rent the Runway and I loved it! Next week, I’ll have a whole post dedicated to the company and my experience at their Chicago store, if you have any questions about it!

I picked this dress out for the wedding I attended last weekend — I loved the colors and picking out accessories was easy and fun. My clutch is actually my Kate crossbody minus the strap. This Ashiana London pendant got returned to Rocksbox this week but got quite a bit of wear; don’t forget you can sign up for the service and start with a free month when you use code whatnicoleworexoxo at checkout.

As Seen on Instagram: What I Wore

Weeee wooo! I’m home from Chicago (woof what a weekend) and happy to be settling in to watch some basketball tonight!

I’ll be talking all about my adventures in Chicago, including the IG meet up, on this week’s Travel Tuesday post.

necklace c/o siramara + j crew broken in boyfriend chino shorts {thrifted, sold out, similar – some colors on sale | last seen here} + kate spade new york purse {thrifted, similar | last seen here} + forever 21 blouse {old}

As I was running around Louisville to buy sunglasses for the trip and some last minute additions to a hostess gift for Michelle, I really went for comfort. It was 85 this day (kill me) so I opted for a lightweight blouse and my chino shorts.

I’m head over heels for this new necklace from Siramara. I really love the stone in the middle with the spikes.

What’s in My Bag: Tote-ing Around Europe

What's in my Tote

 

There will definitely be a few more items in my bag — but these are some of the essentials, I for sure know I’ll be traveling with next week.
I received the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 as a gift from Dressbarn and am super excited to use it in conjunction with my travel journal. I do think I’ll stick to mostly taking pictures with my PowerShot and iPhone but am excited to play with my new toy!
I took a microfiber Vera before and love the convenience of the pockets inside and outside. I’m boring and chose black because it’s easy to match and I don’t necessarily have to worry so much about clashing between my clothes and a patterned purse.
I do know that I for sure will be toting a small cross body purse with me again, I just haven’t completely narrowed it down to which one. I snagged a set of Kate Spade mini notebooks from my local HomeGoods and think they’re the perfect size to keep in my purse. I keep a small one in my bag here at home along with a Target dollar spot pen and find it’s nice to have when I think of something important or need to make a quick list.
Sharpie pens are my absolute fave, I can’t live without my Kindle and I’ve found that a mobile power bank is such a necessity when traveling.
What items do you always travel with?
xo, Nicole
