Doll by Dress & Dwell

I’m gearing up for fall with the help of Dress & Dwell’s new collection, Doll. This collection has the perfect mix of southern and city pieces, and features the best colors and styles for the fall season. Doll by Dress & Dwell will definitely become a regular feature on Lex What Wear, because I am obsessed with all of my new goodies. This sweater is lightweight and ideal for the seasonal transition. My skirt is absolutely adorable, and can be styled so many different ways. I love the entire look together, with the earrings and sneakers. It’s a casual yet, fun fall in Nashville outfit.

What To Do In New York City

PART ONE

I just returned from one of the BEST trips ever to my second home, New York City. After living there for almost three years, this was my first return to the city of dreams. My trip was nothing short of magical, from reuniting with friends, to exploring new hot spots. I honestly wish I could have just one more day, but for now, I’m busy planning my next big trip back home.

I used to get this question almost weekly when I lived in Manhattan: What should I do in New York City? So I thought I’d start sharing my tips and tricks of a former local, and the best spots for different occassions. Because this could get lengthy, I’m starting off with a PART ONE of WHAT TO DO IN NEW YORK CITY. I’ll be back with more, so don’t hesitate to ask questions.

Lastly, shop my latest trip’s outfits with all of the links below. And yes, I did wear these Comfortiva Sneakers every single day. Enjoy friends!

Top Amazon Home Picks

I love a good shopping spree on Amazon, so this post comes as no surprise to me. When I saw the $10 and under home decor option on Amazon, I knew I had to share my top home picks with all of you. Some of these picks are in fact under $10, but ALL are affordable. Amazon not only has quick and easy shipping, but the deals are usually endless. Let’s get shopping, home decor style, with Amazon on a budget!
