Mint Julep Boutique Double Crossed Dress + Giveaway!

Congratulations to the three winners of the New Year's Group Giveaway: Sean, Andrea D, and Thomas M!  Thank you to everyone who entered, and I hope that those of you who are new followers will decide to stick around to follow my globetrotting adventures and my style journey.

I am thrilled to share this Double Crossed dress c/o The Mint Julep Boutique and another exciting giveaway today.  The Mint Julep Boutique is a fast-growing online retailer with a seemingly endless selection of on-trend clothing and accessories.  I had a difficult time choosing just one piece from their catalog, but settled on this dress because of the beautiful burgundy color and flattering wrap style.  I am currently obsessed with this navy fascinator, and channeled my inner Duchess of Cambridge again for today's royal-inspired outfit.  I paired the Double Crossed dress with a fitted plaid blazer, bow pumps, classic tote, simple pendant, and fascinator for a look that I hope Duchess Catherine would approve of.  This ensemble is perfect for a day at the office as well as a night out; in the evening you could keep or remove the blazer depending on your preference.
