Get Into a Keruffle

Here we are, Friday eve and I don't know about you but sweater weather is over and I need to restock my spring tops. Something eye-catching but versatile for chic. One style I'm really loving is the ruffle shoulder, ever with...yes, I'll say it, a cold shoulder detail.

Asos, Cold Shoulder Top with Ruffle in Blurred, $26

These colors pop but without needing neon. Oh and it's half off.

Shopbop, Stylekeepers Ruffle One Shoulder Top, $99

So this one might be a pain to iron, but think of the statement it makes. With a pair of white jeans? Yes.

Express, Double Ruffle Shoulder Scoop Neck Tee, $29

Ridiculously soft. Wear it with jeans or tuck it into a pencil skirt with a statement necklace for work.

Nordstrom, Gibson Ruffle Cold Shoulder Blouse, $35

I really love this print. It's cool yet feminine. 

When looking at your warm weather wardrobe, think about adding a versatile but statement piece or two. These tops fill the void.

Fierce and Fringe

I'm not much for festival style, but there are pieces of this trend that get me excited. For instance: fringe. It's casual and cool in an effortless sort of way. I'm not going to try to pull it off in a vest or even a top, but a bag? I can rock a fringe bag.

Shoptiques, Large Fringed Clutch Arizona, $69 $49

Different and great for a night out.

Charming Charlie, On the Fringe Crossbody Bag, $25 $14

How great is this bag for summer? Picture it with shorts and a tee.

Express, Genuine Suede Fringe Clutch, $59 $40

Maybe the wild card of the bunch, but how cool is this bag?

SimplyBe, Charlotte Fringing Clutch Bag, $45

Hello drama. I also read this as 'friggin' clutch bag. 

Have you tried fringe for spring? So dramatic but in a cool girl kind of way.

Star Studded Sandal

Happy hump day lovebugs,
I thought we would spend today teasing ourselves with some summer shoes. The stacked heel is back and better than ever, and when it comes to sandals I like to make it a little less feminine and add some studs.

Sam Edelman, Cam Studded Heel Sandal, $160 $62

These heels are to die for with shorts, a sundress, or jeans.

Express, Studded Block Heel Sandal, $41

Edgy glam never looked so comfortable.

Nordtsrom Rack, Louise et Cie Kellyn Studded Sandal, $153 $69

This shoe has so much personality. I love the ankle strap.

Sole Society, French Taupe Strappy Sandal Phoenix, $99

Yes it's pricey, but look at that color. 

Studs do not have to mean motorcycle. Pull them off with a lovely sandal that you can wear without just about anything.

Cropping Time

Nordstrom, Topshop Jacquard Wide Leg Crop Trousers, $50

These soft pants are a dream print and 40% off right now.

Fall In Line with Trends

It's March 1, which means spring is around the corner. One spring trend I really love this year is the military jacket. It's versatile and easy to layer with just about any style. Throw it on with any casual look for an extra bit of flair.

Banana Republic, Full Sleeve Jacket, $82

Bet you didn't see this feminine take on the military jacket coming. Love this.

Madewell, Tilden Military Jacket, $98

Love the idea of pairing this jacket with a dress. Such a great contrast.

Express, Lace Up Side Military Jacket, $98

Great snap and zipper details, but can we talk about the lace up sides?

Shoptiques, Honey Punch Rose Military Jacket, $98

How about some embroidered detail? Beautiful.

Military jackets are a great trend for spring. Much different then a floral or eyelet for the warmer weather.

The husband (!) and I celebrate Presidents Day not Valentine's so it's a normal Tuesday here. But I thought we could still paint the town red with some red pants!
