All In the Details

Who else is bracing for snow right now? Cool. I thought we would think warm thoughts on this impending arctic storm, and look at some spring embroidered bags. They are chock full of detail and a perfect distraction to these frigid temps.

Revolve, Sam Edelman Irene Embroidered Satchel, $198 $72

This bucket bag is a steal. I love the colors!

Nordstrom, Steve Madden Beaded & Embroidered Clutch, $75

This bag needs to be on vacation. It needs sunshine and happy hours.

Asos, Park Lane Embroidered Bag, $110 $61

Looking for something for evening? This metallic embroidery has a vintage look and feel.

Forever 21, Raj LA Embroidered Bag, $58

A little weekender bag that won't be mistaken as another black tote bag.

So bundle up, stock up on milk, and batteries, and shop these bright and cheery bags!

Nip and Tuck

Let's talk details. A simple detail that completely changes the look of an item: the pin tuck. It is such a quiet feature that today we will look at not on pants where you expect to see a pleat, but rather tops. A pin tuck detail on a blouse elevates a print or a solid with just a touch of something extra.

Anthropologie, Fluttered Maya Blouse, $59

What a beautifully organic print on this blouse. I love the flutter sleeves and it's machine washable.

Saks Off Fifth, Michael Stars Pintucked Silk Blouse, $53

And here we see a solid option. The tiny pleats are very delicate on this silk top.

Nordstrom, Oat + Fawn Animal Print Blouse, $68

Welp, this is already in my cart. Zoom in. Yes, those are tiny pugs.

Modcloth, Profesh of Both Worlds Top, $39

This is the kind of top you keep around for all of your printed pant/skirt options. It's quiet but still has a lovely fitted look.

I don't think I need to say much about this trend. It's simple, works for any print or color, and it easy to find in any style.

Sew Much Detail

Happy almost Friday guys!

Details really make me excited about clothing, usually because it means quality. That extra time was taken to make a piece extra special. Today, that detail is embroidery. Very simple, but very noticeable.

Asos, River Island Embroidered Shell, $46

This top is truly something special. It has a gorgeous pattern and the colors just pop.

Ann Taylor, Embroidered Bubble Hem Top, $48

I love a good bubble hem because it looks a little more put together. This top also comes in blue.

Forever 21, Embroidered Daisy Top, $19

I chose this top because it goes along with the mod trend that we'll be seeing this season.

Nordstrom, Topshop Flower Organza Top, $56

I can't think of an outfit you couldn't wear this with. Pair it with orange linen shorts, a gray suit, you name it.

Embroidery comes with all kinds of price points, so find a pattern that you love, and I promise you will find something in your budget. Thrift stores and secondhand shops are also a gold mine for this stuff.
