Fashion Week OOTD recap! ✨
Let's be honest... hotel mirror selfies are rarely glamorous. 😆 The lighting is questionable, the angles are even more questionable, and somehow there's always a suitcase in the background.
But getting dressed every day for cabi Fashion Week was so much fun! I loved putting together outfits, trying different combinations, and seeing all the beautiful style inspiration from everyone there.
The best part, though? Spending the weekend with some of my favorite ladies—laughing, learning, cheering each other on, and making memories that go far beyond the clothes.
And then... Mr. Handsome made an appearance and we got in some regular pics too. I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Fashion is always more fun when it's shared with people you love. Thanks for another unforgettable Fashion Week, cabi!
Which outfit was your favorite? I'd love to know!

Three boxes... opened immediately. 🤎📦🍂
I told myself I should wait.
You know... until after the house full of company leaves, until I find more hangers, and until I actually have room on my clothing racks.
Instead... I tore into all three boxes and now my bar, barstools, and pretty much every available surface is covered in gorgeous cabi Fall '26 pieces. 😂
What's a girl to do when the collection is this good?!
I already know I'm going to have a hard time choosing favorites because this season is filled with beautiful colors, incredible fabrics, and pieces you'll wear over and over again.
Now tell me... are you the kind of person who waits to unbox a delivery, or do you rip it open the second it hits the porch? And who else gets excited for new clothes?
I can't wait to start sharing all my favorites with you! 🍁✨

A little midweek dinner date with Mr. Handsome called for one of my favorite formulas... simple, comfortable, and a pop of color. 🧡
I'm wearing a vintage bright orange Cabi tank that I've held onto for years because some pieces are just too good to let go. I paired it with a new pair of high-rise AG jeans that I'm really enjoying. They're a bit heavier for these hot summer days, but they smooth everything out, hold you in, and have the look of a subtle barrel leg without feeling overly trendy.
My bag is my trusty HOBO "Sheila" in the warm honey pebbled leather. I originally bought it for travel, but that beautiful guitar strap has earned it a permanent place in my everyday rotation.
And let's talk about these shoes... 😊
Jelly flats are back! I couldn't resist these Dolce Vita beauties. They're definitely a throwback, but they're so much more comfortable than I remember. Soft, cushiony, and surprisingly easy to wear.
Something tells me you'll be seeing these again. 😉
What trend have you happily welcomed back into your closet?

If you've followed me for a while, you know I have a soft spot for the Somerset Maxi Dress from Anthropologie. 🤍💙
Every season I seem to add another one to my closet, and this newest navy and white polka dot print may be my favorite yet!
What keeps me coming back? It's one of those rare dresses that's just as comfortable as it is flattering. The stretchy waistband is so forgiving, the fabric is light and airy, and it's perfect for these hot summer days.
I recently wore it on a long car ride to Las Vegas, and it couldn't have been a better travel companion. No fuss, no wrinkles, and I stayed comfortable the entire trip.
Back at home, it's become one of those dresses I reach for again and again. It's easy enough for running errands with sandals, but with a few accessories, it's polished enough for a date night with Mr. Handsome.
Those are the pieces I love most—the ones that work as hard as we do. ✨
Do you have a dress in your closet that you find yourself reaching for over and over again? I'd love to hear about it!

Remember- wear the dress!

It's beginning to feel a little like fall... and I couldn't wait to share a few of my first arrivals! 🍂🤍
I was able to order a few pieces before Fashion Week, and opening this box felt like Christmas morning!
✨ The Twinset Dress with its coordinating short-sleeve sweater in the prettiest olive shade. Such an elegant, effortless look. ✨ A pair of the new soft cords in a beautiful creamy neutral that will pair with just about everything. ✨ And the return of the fan-favorite London Cord—this season in a gorgeous new color. If you loved last year's version, you'll be happy to know they're just as soft, stretchy, and comfortable!
These are just the beginning...
Fashion Week starts this week, and I'll be sharing all the excitement from Anaheim! I can't wait to show you the new collection, styling ideas, behind-the-scenes moments, and, of course, my favorite pieces.
Stay tuned... I have a feeling you're going to fall in love with this collection right along with me. 🤍🍁

The cabi Santorini dress is going to save me in this heat 💙🔥

A little lace, a little denim, and a whole lot of effortless style. 🤍✨
I'm loving how feminine the Misty Top feels with its silky fabric and delicate lace details. It's lingerie-inspired but so easy to wear for everyday when paired with your favorite denim.
I styled it with a pair of cabi light vintage wide-leg jeans, the Oyster Bay Belt in the prettiest taupe (it's one of those accessories that truly goes with everything), and finished the look with the olive Snapshot Jacket for a little structure and color.
And can we talk about a pointed-toe shoe with a wide-leg pant? It's one of my favorite styling tricks to instantly elongate your legs. These new pumps from C. Paravano are quickly becoming a favorite!
Classic pieces. Feminine details. Timeless style.

There's something about a matching cotton set that just makes getting dressed so easy. 🤍💙
I've been reaching for this Cabi Ingenue Top on repeat. It's lightweight, comfortable, and one of those pieces that works for everything from brunch to vacation to everyday errands.
My blue-and-white striped skirt has sold out, but it's such a classic style—and the white Ingenue Skirt is still available (and honestly, I've been living in it all season!).
Finished the look with these darling Maeve embroidered mesh ballet flats from Anthropologie, and I couldn't love them more.

Some dresses just make getting ready easy.  The cabi Kathleen Dress in its beautiful new black color was exactly what I needed for an early dinner on a 100° evening. Styled simply with strappy Sam Edelman sandals, Gorjana jewelry, and my favorite guy, Mr. Handsome. We still adore the pink version, but this black is such a classic. ✨
