Split Sides

When I think of a side slit two things come to mind: a pencil skirt that's trying to hard or an oversized tunic. We're looking at neither of these things today. This side slit is quiet and unassuming. It's a small detail on these tops that kind of make the look.

Nordstrom, Lush Side Slit Tank, $34

Simple. It also comes in eight other colors so have some fun.

Macy's, Freshman Juniors' Side Slit Mock Neck, $24

Nothing about this says hippy tunic, this is modern and chic.

BCBGeneration, Faux Leather Side Slit Collar Top, $20

We all need this top. Its sassy with stitched stipe details and a collar.

Victoria's Secret, Side Slit Anytime Tee, $34

Comfort meets style. I like the athletic look of this tee but the slit really steps it up a notch.

I'm a sucker for simple details and the side slit top is no exception. Dress it up, down or take it from desk to drinks. It's an easy style.

A Slit Above

We are putting away the sweaters and dusting off the tees and it is about time. Don't get me wrong, I love sweater weather but these 70 degree weekends have been pretty great. I thought we would dress up your average tee today with a newer trend that shows some skin. The side slit. It's a simple and understated detail but styled with the right accessories and bottom, it's effortlessly chic.

Forever 21, Side-Slit Top, $19

See what I mean? Simple, elegant, unexpected.

Revolve, BCBGeneration Side Slit Tee, $68

A little nautical flair? Don't mind if I do.

Express, One Eleven Lazy Day Side Slit Tee, $15
A perfect weekend shirt. Enough said.

Nordstrom, Topshop Suedette Oversize Crop Tee, $75
This top goes with everything. Prints, jeans, you name it.

Busting Out

How about something a little naughty today? Nothing too scandalous but something to spice up your Tuesday. The bustier is the quintessential sexy piece. Evolved from the corset, it is a great style that has been integrated into so many pieces that are meant for outside the bedroom. Today, we're looking at bustier dresses.

Urban Outfitters, Bluejuice Speed of Light, $69

I'm kind of in love with this dress. The bold pattern is glossy and beautiful. The dress is cut in a very strategic way, doing all the work for you.

Asos, Motel Tegan Contrast Dress, $48

Oh girl, would you look at this number. Sassy pleats, simple top and so ready for accessories. 

Lord and Taylor, BCBGeneration Cutout Bustier Dress, $96

Another dress ready for accessorizing. It also comes in black or white.

Nordstrom, Studded Bustier Dress, $28

For under $30 this dress is perfect for a long Saturday. You can wear it with sneakers, throw on a jean jacket, or dress it up with some killer heels. 

I must admit, bustier tops are even a little out of my comfort zone, but I think with the right cut and the right accessories, it's a great, edgier look to try.

Hats Off

Alright lovebugs. Today it's hat day. Something that will go with a bathing suit but also transition to a sunny lunch near the pool.

Anthropologie, Indalia Sun Hat, $58

Simple, clean, and oh so beautiful.

Macys, Ralph Lauren Hat Ribbon Sun, $42

This is very California. Please make sure to wear fabulous lipstick with this hat.

Charlotte Russe, Lazy River Fedora, $8

Want to try the fedora trend but not too sure? Try it for under $10.

BCBGeneration, Pop Stripe Floppy Sun Hat, $36

A great mix of colors with a simple pattern. 

Sun hats are very important when you're out in the sun all day. Why not try something that makes a statement?

Vanishing Act

Hey there lovebugs,
I'm back from a fabulous vacation with the Bf. I first and foremost want to thank my wonderful guest posters last week. Rosa, Emily P, Emily H, Lauren.

Now that I'm back, I thought we would take on a big trend for the spring. Lucite. A while ago we looked at lucite shoes and today we'll look at some lucite or clear accessories.

BCBGeneration, Morgan Lucite Minaudière, $64

If you're wondering, minaudière is a fancy way of saying small bag. Yeah, throw that out at a party. "Oh, I love your clutch!" "Actually--it's a minaudière, but yes, isn't it fabulous?"

Last Call Neiman Marcus, RJ Graziano Clear Bangle, $35

I love this chunky bangle because it's actually quite light and airy.

Vince Camuto, Lucite Hoop Earrings, $25

These are stunning, they are the perfect addition to a hot pink summer dress.

C Wonder, Lucite Link Layering Necklace in Shocking Pink, $58

This is a great option for warmer weather, it also comes in yellow or clear. It's easy to layer with lighter necklaces.

Lucite doesn't always have to be clear, as long as it's see through, it's on trend. Try it out this summer!
