Hi there!

I hope everyone is enjoying summertime. I was so excited when the Target and LoveShack Fancy Collab dropped, that I woke up at 3am and ordered some dresses. They are so inexpensive in comparison with LSF’s usual prices. All under 50 or 60 bucks. I linked the collab above as some dresses are still in stock and they are now on CLEARANCE! If you like the purple one I thought it was just a tad short for my taste so check it out in my Poshmark closet under Lina7.

These dresses are fun and flirty for summer and just so much fun to wear. I added my own belt to the all white dress, and my oldie but goodie LoveShack Fancy with Superga sneakers are styled with one of the looks. The pink mules are older Gucci and the Dr Scholls pink sandals are also a few years old. I wore them all recently in these photos on the Connecticut Shoreline.

Xo,

Carolina

PS some of these photos were taken by my talented photographer friend Brandon Felix Gregoire. Check out my Instagram where I’ve tagged his page if you want to see more of his work. He works out of the CT shoreline!
