Into the Jungle

Feeling wild on hump day? Yeah, me too. I'm itching for the weekend and that's got me thinking about going out bags. I love a great clutch because they hold just the essentials and can really make an outfit. Today I thought we would look at a real eye catcher, the leopard clutch.

Dorothy Perkins, Leopard Structured Clutch Bag, $29

Can't beat this price for a great bag that looks expensive.

Nordstrom, Menbur Leopard Print Minaudière, $58

A metallic sheen makes this clutch stand out.

DSW, Aldo Shako Clutch, $44

This bag has a disco feel to it. I love the patent leather cap.

Kate Spade, Mullins Place Pouch, $99

Pink glitter and leopard. I'll just leave this here.

So if you're feeling something small and fantastic, look no further than a classic leopard clutch. It goes with everything and is a great four season bag.

Ba Da Bow

After a rainy Monday I'm in need of something pretty. Then I stumbled on some beautiful bow sandals and I was pleased. Let me explain.

Ann Taylor, Erica Suede Bow Sandal, $89

I am obsessed with this sandal. It comes in a handful of colors but I am all about this navy.

H&M, Sandals with Bow, $24

Looking for a lower option? How about a metallic flat?

Asos, Miss Selfridge Multi Strap Bow Sandal, $77

Who needs one bow when you can have four?

Kate Spade, Idalah Sandals, $98

And for something vacation ready, I give you these colorful yet simple sandals!

How can you not smile wearing these summer sandals?

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I thought we should start this week with something shiny. No, not jewelry. Rose gold shoes. Right? So unexpected and fun! Let's look at a mix of sneakers for casual and heels for a night out.

Need Supply Co., Classic Slip-On, $60

How great are these shoes? Classic Vans style with a feminine twist.

Asos, London Rebel Rose Gold Kitten Heel, $46

OMG these shoes. I love these shoes. Short block heel and rounded toe. 

Neiman Marcus, Kate Spade New York Keds Glitter Sneaker, $75

Speaking of girly. Gotta love some glitter with a ribbon lace. 

Amazon, Blue by Betsey Johnson Sandal, $89

Something to look forward to for summer. Such a great shoe with jeans or to wear to a wedding.

Have some fun when playing with metallics, try some rose gold on your feet!

Tell Me About It, Stud

Last month we looked at some really fantastic stud earring sets and in the past we've also looked at oversized stud earrings. Today let's go back to that and update the style: the statement stud earring. Flashy without weighing you down.

Amazon, Kate Spade Statement Studs, $68

What did I tell ya? A little pow but still classy.

Asos, Jewel Statement Stud Earrings, $10

Skip your Starbucks this week and get these instead. Think how lovely they'd look with a cozy sweater and a ponytail.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Lydell NYC Crystal Cluster Stud, $25

Think how smashing these would look with a bold lip.

Club Monaco, Rada Star Earring, $98

Ok, maybe a little pricey but these are a real work of art. What a statement piece for any occasion.

Dress up those lobes with some fun statement studs! Hoops and drop earrings aren't going anywhere, so why not try something different?

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.

Nordstrom, BaubleBar Kristel Ear Crawler, $34

A pretty black tie ready earring or just dress up your bf jeans for girls night out!

Dillard's, Kate Spade Shine On Ear Crawler, $48

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.

Rose gold doesn't get enough credit. It's such a beautiful metal tone and I feel like we don't mix it in to our everyday wear as well as we could. Today is for you rose gold. Take your bow.

Alex and Ani, Eros Arrow Ring Wrap, $28

Simple but purposeful. I love the delicate nature of the ring.

Bloomingdale's, Kendra Scott Candice Bracelet, $65

Hello statement piece. This one is a beauty.

Nordstrom, Kate Spade Dainty Sparkler Ear Crawlers, $58

I'm not over ear crawlers. I think they are so different and look great with almost any outfit. These rose gold crawlers are great with denim.

Shopbop, Aamaya By Priyanka Ooh La La Necklace, $82

Delicate yet quirky. I love this necklace for layering or alone with a long sleeve tee.

Do you wear rose gold? Do you find it difficult to pair with certain colors. I love it with neutrals as a great pop.

In Full Bloom

It's the last of the season for one of my favorite flowers - hydrangea. I love their fullness and bright colors. Believe it or not they also appear in fashion. This pretty floral makes a greta print!

Bloomingdale's, Kate Spade New York Hydrangea Silk Skinny Scarf, $48

Scarves are going to be big for fall and I like this one in particular because it's not big. It's skinny, manageable, and great for work.

Loft, Ruffled Maxi Dress, $98

Oh hello great addition to my summer/fall closet!

Lord & Taylor, Dooney & Burke Lexi Crossbody, $72

The perfect summer bag for any outfit.

Shoptiques, Silver Seasons Hydrangea Cluster Earrings, $86

Such a delicate waterfall of flowers. Almost watercolor-esque.

A great hydrangea is lush and aromatic. These picks will remind you of spring and summer all year long!

Make Me Blush

Happy Monday lovebugs,

As we wrap up the summer wedding season, I am sure if not this year, at some point in your life you've unwillingly purchased nude pumps. You are a good friend. I applaud you. But now, it's you time. Time to put away the nude and bring out blush. A beautiful, feminine hue that can be professional or playful.

Modcloth, Piles as Punch Flat, $69

I've never done ballet, but I can play the part with these beautiful flats.

Zappos, Athena Alexander Teague, $59

Perhaps a more versatile shoe than a black pump. Chic, suede, stunning.

Keds, Keds x Kate Spade New York Champion Glitter, $80

Oh come on, I had to. How can you not have fun in these sneakers?!

Nordstrom, Daya by Zendaya Aaron Pointy Toe Pump, $89

Sometimes a bow can be a little too sweet, this pump is anything but - it's commanding.

You've put in your time in nude pumps, it's time to sweeten things up and have some fun in blush!

As I mentioned yesterday I'm headed on vacation this week and it's got me thinking lake-weather attire. It's mid-July and it's flip flop season so here are some pretty fantastic and colorful sandals.

Minty green with purple and a bow? Sign me up.

Saks Fifth Avenue, Tory Burch Printed Rubber Flip Flops, $50

Great colors and printed texture.

Lilly Pulitzer, Lobstah Roll, $38

These are probably the happiest flip flops I've ever laid eyes on.

Nordstrom, Havaianas Slim Flip Flop, $30

A little geometric print, some ikat, all awesome.

Who doesn't need to upgrade their rubber flip flop inventory? These great brands are bringing colorful and comfy options right to your feet.

Feeling Feelings

Lovebugs,
This weekend was kind of a big deal.  My apologies if this post is short and sweet but you have to understand that The bf is now The Fiancé and that's a BFD. Today's post is all about love and lovely things. Enjoy.

Macy's, Maison Jules Heart Print Fit and Flare Dress,  $79 $46

Hearts, pockets, win. 

Forever 21, Layered Heart Locket Necklace, $4

Vintage look, not vintage price.

Nordstrom, Kate Spade Posy Court Heart Dish, $20

My favorite ladies got this for me last night. I think it speaks for itself.

Modcloth, Let's Walk About Love Sneaker, $54

If you wear these, you have to skip all of the time. 

That's all I've got in the tank for today. I'm so full of love and happiness and really wonderful things. 

Be freakin' fabulous today!
