Last Days of Summer

So basically, this post is about how I'm really not ready for the summer weather to be over. And for some of you reading this -- like those who live in California or Greece -- this might not be the case. For my fellow Philadelphians, we've got to soak up the last few weeks of warm weather while we still can. For that reason, I'm featuring this gorgeous 70's Empress dress, by ANIMA, a Grecian clothing line that exudes summer fashion. This dress is a fabulous choice on a hot day such as today, especially if you're lucky enough to be strolling beach-side or swaying to the beat at a music festival. I've decided to pair the dress with some other summer-lovin' items of mine -- the Mindy Kilim Clutch by Maslinda, the California sunglasses by Polette Eyewear, and the Shinousa Sandals, by Eleanna Katsira. And of course, to top it off I'm wearing this on-trend choker necklace which I scored at Walmart for only $4!

P.S. Did I mention... Polette Eyewear and I are hosting a giveaway!? Here's how it works..
