Nights @ Nippert

Sorry this post has been so delayed quite a few things have happened in the past few weeks to delay this post but don't worry I am back and here is the newest post to A Dash Of Kait! Growing up here in Cincinnati you are taught two things- love chili and cheer on the Bearcats. A few weeks back I was lucky enough to get to attend the UC game vs. Miami, Florida! IT was a great game and the Bearcats won. I kept it chic and sport for this evening and of course with it being a blackout it gave me the opportunity to pair some of my favorite things together: leggings and my baseball cap! Loved spending some time with my family and my lovely boyfriend, Connor! Enjoy this look and go Cats if you follow UC let me know I would love to meet some more fellow Bearcat fans!!

Until next time,

xoxo

Bloggers Night Out||

Hi loves!  Sorry for the delay in this post but it's been quite an adjustment period trying to go from having endless free time during the summer to basically having none at all. But anyway here is a new post finally!! YAY! This outfit is something I put together for a very hot and humid evening with my girl CinciPrep!! We were out and exploring the Hyde Park Area & boy was it a blast!

Closing Summer|| ootn

So for my final summer outfit of the night which is quite a sad event to write about....but you know I will share. So last night was my last night of summer and so I went out with my mom and sisters for a nice little dinner at Olive Garden which was so yummy. I had also gone shopping earlier that day and bought my outfit. The shorts are these super comfy black PJ like shorts that I got at Francesca's and the grey high neck tank is from the Gap clearance rack. My bracelets are Alex and Ani's and then the chain one is also from Francesca's! It was such a cute combo with my sandals that I had purchased this time last summer from Target and it was so comfortable but yet still so stylish. I hope you are all having an amazing week and an amazing first few days of school!!

Summer FASHION FAVORITES

Good Evening! Although it is very sad to say that summer is coming to an end for the large majority of us I thought it would be a nice little reflection to do a post about what I was loving this summer!!  In summarization however, this I can honestly say was the best summer of my life. While I worked a lot I also got so many spectacular adventures given to me through things like: FBLA, work and blogging! I am looking forward to a great school year and hoping to continue all my adventures! So no more life story let's get to the moment you all have been waiting for!

Fashion:

Okay so this summer fashion wise was different than my usual wearings, I sort of stepped out of the more preppy side of things and grew into a more of a trendy/chic style I found myself wearing more pieces that this time last year I probably wouldn't have worn such as boyfriend jeans or jumpers but either way I really fell in love with several items this summer. The first one would have to be my boyfriend jeans; I wore these to the Demi Lovato concert and paired them with a cropped black tank top and some really fun sandals and lots of bracelets and they were so cute and I got so many compliments on them. I also decided to rip them around the knees to give them more of a distressed look which has been very in this season.

Another favorite thing this summer was all of my dresses, two of them were from SheInside.com and one of them was from Target but I just loved them all so much and I am even planning outfits for the fall somehow with them...that is how much I love them. Each dress is made out of that really soft cotton material and they aren't really form fitting they are just loose and comfy and for my body type they are very flattering. The first picture is a dress off of SheInside and it is just a black dress that goes off the shoulder and then its just the same material throughout the dress and it looks amazing paired with some wedges or sandals. Dress number two is from Target and I am pretty sure almost everyone has this dress in at LEAST one color if not more. It is just this cotton tank dress that is literally perfect to just throw on when you are in a hurry or you can dress it up with some cute heals and some jewelry. And then the final dress is also from SheInside, it is similar to the Target one except it flows more and was black and white stripes. I wore this around Chicago almost 3/5 of the days we were there and it was so comfy but yet still adorable.  

My last little fashion nibble for this post would be my black Target pom pom romper which has already been featured on an OOTD post but the obsession was real. Unfortunately it is going to be hard to say goodbye to this piece during the fall because its very much a summer thing but that's okay, I will see you soon my friend. But this romper was a goto for me this summer whenever I had last minute plans I was able to just throw this on with some cute sandals and I would get massive compliments on how cute my outfit was when in all actuality it was probably the easiest thing I could have worn! 

I really loved this post and I hope you all did too!!!

Planner Review|| erin condren edition

Good Morning lovely readers!! With the start of all the back to school shenanigans just around the corner I figured that it was time to get my planner for the year and start organizing my life. For the past two school years I have been using my Lilly Pulitzer agendas but this year I needed something bigger and something with more space and what not. So after a lot of online browsing and watching Youtube reviews I decided on the Erin Condren Life Planner! SO I went on the website and started to look for the perfect planner and since there are so many cute ones it literally took me FOREVER. I finally decided on the photo grid one. I was able to choose all of the pictures and then also choose whether or not I wanted a vertical weekly outlook or a horizontal. I went with horizontal and I just love it. I love how organized everything was! When I got my package which also arrived in less than two weeks from the day I ordered it, it came with not only the planner but it also came with some super cute stickers, some thank you cards, a really cute postcard and some really cute packaging. I would highly recommend this planner for just about anyone. While, it was one of the higher priced planners I could have chosen from I would have rather have spent more money on something this nice and perfect for me.

This is the adorable packaging that arrived on my door step!!

These are some of the stickers and postcards that I recieved with my planner: super cute 

Here is my actual planner!!!

I hope you all buy your planners from Erin and if you do let me know how much you love it!!!!
