Sunshine Days

Last week we looked at some pretty fantastic espadrilles. Today I thought we would combine the style with a sneaker. That's right, the perfect summer sneaker.

Anthropologie, Alohas Bambita Espadrille, $98

If this doesn't say summer, I don't know what does.

Target, dv Roxie Canvas Lace Up Espadrille, $27

Do you love these? I love these. They also come in a handful of other colors.

Keds, Salt Espadrille Lace Up Sneaker, $55

A low maintenance shoe that is the equivalent of chambray.

Zappos, Vans ESP Tropical Peach, $57

Classic brand with a punch of feminine. Perfect for summer.

While summer may be all about the sandals, sometimes a solid sneaker is that way to go. These espadrille options are great for warmer weather.

Lucky to Be in Lavender

Hello and happy Monday. Today's blog is in honor of my apartment guest this weekend. A dear friend who is getting married next month and her new last name will be Lavender. I know, score. She was here all weekend and then her Sunday night flight got cancelled. So today, we honor her and her patience with all things lavender.

Anthropologie, Adaenia Twist Front Top, $38

Who doesn't need a crazy soft top for summer? I love the front seam and twist.

I love a slouchy sweater. And this one has personality.

Perhaps the best comfortable work top of all time.

Let's start and end with a comfy summer tee. Sweet, playful, and comes in a variety of colors.

Stage Four Clinger

Alright, yesterday we talked about the military jacket for spring, now let's look at the accessory for the season: the choker. The good news is this necklace has been seriously upgraded from the thin ribbon you remember. Oh yes, they've been dressed up.

How about this little work of art? So much texture and elegance.

Wrap and Roll

When you're looking for a top that isn't a button down for work, where do you usually turn? Sure, you can go for a bow tie blouse but that usually requires ironing. I love the wrap top because it is is easy and usually machine washable, which let's be honest, is all I really look for in a work blouse.

Lord & Taylor, Plaid Wrap Blouse, $37

I love this top for work or play. Dress it up with a pencil skirt and dress it down with ripped jeans and boots.

Anthropologie, Marceau Wrap Top, $54

A beautiful mossy green that is quiet and comfortable.

Topshop, Flower Wrap Blouse, $65

A cheery and floral print that I love to wear with a pair of pencil pants or under a suit jacket.

Mango, Wrap Blouse, $59

This top is divine. The waist has elastic in it so it fits perfectly to your torso.

Playing with silhouettes using a wrap blouse is great for work or play. Stock up on solids and I promise you will wear them (and wash them) to get your moneys worth.

These Earrings are My Gem

Let's have some fun with accessories today. I love a great ear crawler as a statement piece. But often they are heavy metal. Today, let's look at some gemtastic (technical term) ear crawlers.

Anthropologie, Lilac Crawler Earrings, $29

So feminine and delicate but a bit unexpected in a crawler format.

Lord & Taylor, Rectangular Ear Crawlers, $18

Yas. Party ready.

You know I love me some Kate Spade and these crawlers are no different. 

If the rocker look of the ear crawler gives you pause, you've got to try it with gems! These stones are playful and light and you can totally pull them off.
