The Top Tier

It has been a whirlwind summer, I feel like it's flying by! I mean, it's already July! I've been so swept up in working hard and hustling away, traveling, searching for a new apartment, and a million other things, that I've barely had a second to breathe. That's part of why I'm so excited to be traipsing off to Europe tomorrow. While I will almost definitely be working remotely throughout the trip, it will be such a relief to get my mind off of things for a few weeks to recharge. I'm excited to explore Spain and Portugal, neither of which I've been to before. Let me know if you have any recommendations for either because I'd love to hear them! 


The second I saw this adorable tiered ruffle dress, I ordered it. It's the perfect summertime frock--loose and flowy yet fun and festive, it can easily be dressed up and down for almost any occasion! It would be a great dress for the 4th of July with some red lipstick or for an end of summer white party come August. (It would also look great at a polo match, which wouldn't you know it, I'm giving away tickets to one on my Instagram. Check out my page @empirestyleofmind to enter to win!)
