Happy Friday’s Eve y’all! We are so close to the weekend. I just can’t wait! To celebrate my excitement {haha} I wanted to share a new website I’ve come across recently. One I am absolutely loving and one I am pretty sure you will love as well. AreaTrend is an online retailer that has designer items for less. I was able to get this Rebecca Minkoff handbag for $234.68 when it is originally priced at $345.00. Woohooo! They have an awesome selection of Rebecca Minkoff handbags as well as other fabulous brands. I just checked out their site yesterday and they have lots of new gorgeous Ivanka Trump and Tory Burch handbags, all for a discounted price! 
 
AreaTrend isn’t just limited to handbags though, they have a wide variety of items. Including shoes, watches, sunglasses, fragrance, clothing, health + beauty, and men’s + kids too. Besides their amazing selection of handbags I’ve been eyeing some of their shoes. Particularly this pair and this pair. Both are SO perfect for the summer season. And seriously, you cannot beat the price! 
 
Needless to say, I would highly recommend checking out AreaTrend. Your wallet and your wardrobe will thank you! Not to mention, it’s a great site to go to for gifts!

This combination has quickly become a go to for me. It’s comfortable, easy, and chic enough to wear to several different occasions. The chambray shirt dress is wonderful for hot summer days which OH YEAH are in full affect right now! With 90+ degree days, something breathable and comfortable is necessary. As you’ve seen all summer, I also can’t get enough of these wedges. I know they are a little on the pricey end but I PROMISE they are worth it. I reach for mine almost every other day! Plus, surprisingly, they are incredible comfortable. I can go for hours and hours in them. If you aren’t into spending what these cost, then I recommend this pair. They’re under $60 and super similar!! Lastly, this tote has been amazing! Great for throwing everything in and wearing multiple ways. The option to wear it as a cross body, top handle, or on my shoulder has to be my favorite part of the bag. So functional! Remember, you can grab it here at a discount {gray is sold out but a beautiful cognac is available}. 
 
To share the chambray trend and how to style it, I’ve partnered with four other bloggers. What I think is SO funny is that we only talked about styling chambray, there was no mention of a dress. But what do we all wear, dresses! I love it! And I LOVED seeing how other bloggers styled the trend. Which blogger styled it the way you would?

Each month this summer Iā€™ll be partnering with four different bloggers to share five ways to style a particular trend or item. Stay tuned for next monthā€™s on August 17th. See last monthā€™s feature here and June’s feature here.  

Thank you to AreaTrend for sponsoring this post. All opinions are of course my own!
