It Really Is Easy...

Hey there lovebugs,
Happy Monday. I hope you had a lovely weekend. Today I thought we would look at a color in bags that I believe is severely underrated. As it is often said, it isn't easy being green, but I tend to disagree. Green is gorgeous, especially when it comes to handbags. I love it because it goes with both black and brown and in this cold weather, it's a nice pop of something when outerwear tends to be so neutral.

Neiman Marcus, Dalton Pyramid Studded Mini Crossbody, $60

This bag is on crazy sale until Wednesday. It's originally $170, I cannot tell you how amazing this sale price is. Go now.

Nasty Gal, Lexie Satchel, $78

I love a top handle and cross body option. This is olive hue is accented beautifully with gold accents.

Gap, Leather Tote, $53

This slouchy and soft leather is perfect for the weekend. Throw everything in and go. Did I mention it  was originally $135?

Amazon, Olivia + Joy Ginger Satchel, $38

Another great olive option. Look at this interesting top. Geometric and almost Tetris-like. This is a great winter shoulder bag.

I'm all for chocolate brown and black and even a pop of neon now and again, but these green options are really striking a chord with me right now on these chilly days.

It Is Easy Being Green

Hey there lovebugs, as you may know, my favorite color is purple. Bold purple. But a close second has got to be green. I love green because its such a statement color. Saturated or pastel, it always stands out. Today we're not looking at any style in particular, but rather some great green pieces that I'm loving lately.

Forever 21, High-Waisted Pocket Shorts, $15

High waisted, high drama. Wear heels, tuck in the shirt, own it.

J Crew Factory, Dangling Shapes Necklace, $29

Oh how lovely is this necklace? I'm pairing it with denim, a lace dress, or anything in between.

BC Footwear, Grass is Greener, $49

A great woven detail on this sandal. I also love the stripe of gold all around the sole.

Ruche, Athena Colorblocked Maxi Dress, $84

A must own. Truly. Wear it traveling, wear it to a bridal shower, wear it to drinks with the girls, wear it to the pool. So simple yet so stunning.

Green is just one of those colors that pops on anyone. It's also a very easy color to mix with other colors, try coral, yellow, or navy.

Green with Envy

 Green is one of my favorite colors. A great, rich, saturated green just draws you in; especially when it's near your face. Today, we're looking at emerald, jade, and other green earrings.

Kate Spade, Crystal Cort, $68

(In my very best Carrie Bradshaw voice) Hello lover.  Oh my word look at these beauties. Simple, sleek, elegant.

These are so delicate and beautiful. I would pair this would a cobalt dress for summer.

I usually mix colors in my jewelry into my necklaces, but why not earrings? Stud, dangles, you name it, so many styles and so many colors to mix and match.

It's Easy Being Green

Hey lovebugs! Happy Monday to you. I hope you had a great weekend. Let's make this week fabulous.

Today I wanted to get specific. Colorblocking is something we've talked about already on this blog, but today I want to focus on one color in particular. Green. So often with colorblocking we see neons and pinks and oranges, let's look at a new punchy color, green.

Wyatt, Kelly Green Colorblock Blouse, $62

I love this piece. It's funky, it's a great statement piece.

Collective Concepts, Colorblock Blouse, $64

The blue really pops on this blouse, I'd pair this with a cardi now and with a white skirt in the summer.

Payton, Dolman Sleeve Colorblock, $64
How great is this mod style sweater? The dolman sleeves really make it.

New York and Co, Colorblock Scarf, $20
I love this scarf, it would go perfectly with jeans.

Thoughts on green colorblocking? I think it's great for the cooler days.

Green and White

Today is my hometown team, the Philadelphia Eagles.  Philly fans are notoriously bad but hey, I think it's part of their charm.  I also love their colors: green and white.  White jewelry or a crisp white button down shirt mixed with a deep green.

Jess LC, Ainslie Pearl Cluster Necklace, $62

I love Jess LC because she is a girl on a mission to do what she loves and make it her job.

Urban Outfitters, Sparkle and fade paper bag shorts, $48

The way these shorts lay so flat on the body makes them very attractive, because they had the potential to be a puffy mess.

Rugby, Hadee Ruffle Oxford Shirt, $79

Classic, crisp, and just perfect for any occasion.

Modcloth, Four-est Square Dress, $44

This is to be worn while drinking a Manhattan or something equally retro and chic.

Embrace Your Inner Kermit

Kermit once said "It's not easy being green".  While I can imagine being green is probably difficult; wearing green is not. Green is such a fabulous color because it has so many varieties.  You can wear a pastel sea foam green, or a deep dark hunter green.  It's a color that looks fantastic on almost every single skin tone and it is a great addition to any wardrobe.

Before my picks- I wanted to tell  you lovebugs that tomorrow, as usual, is Friday Foodday and I would love to see some of your recipes so I can share them with all of you!
