Tis the season! That is wedding season. So what are you wearing? Stripes, chiffon, midi, maxi? Might I recommend a fit and flare that is feminine and flattering? A beautiful dress in lace.

Obsessed. I am just in love with this flirty dress!

Macy's, NY Collection Mixed Lace Illusion Fit & Flare Dress, $54

Nordstrom, Eliza J Lace Fit & Flare Dress, $94

Autumn All Star

When you hear lace, do you think summer? Right. White, bright, pastel, lace. But don't put your lace away just yet. We've got some fall lace that you will - well, fall for. Richer hues and longer hems take a summer staple to an autumn all star.

Nordstrom, Halogen Collared Lace Sheath Dress, $120 $64

This is a beautiful fall work dress. Classy and preppy with neutrals that don't blend into the background.

Shoptiques, Lace Frill Dress, $72

You really can't beat navy lace. I absolutely love this silhouette.

Asos, Millie Mackintosh Lace Pep Hem Dress, $82

Picture this with cognac booties and a navy blazer. The contrasting lining really makes the yellow stand out.

Simply Be, Little White Lies Dress, $69

I love the boots paired with this dress but I also think it would be super cute and casual with white converse and a jean jacket.

Lace is absolutely versatile into fall. Add in a blazer, tie a short scarf around your neck, make it work.

Coming Up Lace

It's mid-winter, are we getting tired of sweaters yet? Maybe a little. Why not mix it up with some feminine lace? I love lace for winter because its unexpected. You may think it's too chilly for lace, but layer it up! I've picked out some great long sleeve options that you can wear alone for date night or layer it with a blazer for work.

H&M, Lace Blouse, $39

So many wonderful things happening here, the first of which is the matching camisole is included. What else? Stand up collar, scalloped hem, and trumpet sleeves.

Amazon, Lark & Ro Women's Lace Top, $20

Pair this with pearls and wool pencil skirt or have some fun with a neon statement necklace and jeans.

Macy's, Style & Co Lace Blouse, $39

I love this oversized lace pattern. Very well designed with a scoop neckline.

Anthropologie, Cinched Lace Top, $88

A new take on a simple lace blouse. An elastic waist cinching at your smallest part.

Traditionally winter might be sweater weather, but why not try some lace? It's not just for spring and summer. Mix it with a moto jacket or black denim to toughen up the feminine look.

Era of Lace

The 'Victorian' style is very in this fall but what does that mean? I don't know about you but I don't plan on breaking out my corset anytime soon. Instead try brocade, velvet, and more lush feeling fabrics. Another way to try this trend is lace. These lace panel pieces look expensive and delicate but they will be a go to, hard working item in your closet.

Forever 21, Floral Lace Paneled Top, $27

This top is just beautiful. I love the scallop hem or the lace.

Nordstrom, BB Dakota Yale Lace Panel Fit and Flare Dress, $88

Have a fall wedding this year? This beauty.

Romwe, Doll Collar Lace Paneled White Blouse, $19

How sweet is this top? I love it with leggings and lace up flats.

My Habit, The Cue Tina Lace Top, $54

This top screams romance. Soft, sexy, and subtle.

Trends will come and go and they will continue to test our patience, but the lace panel look is one that will be sticking around for a while.

No Cropping Needed

I really am warming up to this crop top trend. We first looked at this piece in the spring and now I want to revisit with some fun summer options. An easy way to wear this trend is a simple cotton option. Today we're stepping it up with some textured looks. These crop tops have something a bit extra.

Lord and Taylor, BCBGeneration Patterned Crop Top, $40

This color is called whisper white ad I think it's appropriate to describe the color and the pattern. So simple.

Lace Blues

You know what's hard about lace? You immediately think white or cream and it's not exactly white lace season any longer. That doesn't mean lace is out of the game. Oh no, I've got you covered. Black and blue lace. Stay with me. It's professional, feminine, and perfect for day to night.

Loft, Blue Underlay Lace Skirt, $79

What did I tell you? Scalloped hem to boot.

Asos, Darling Eliza Lace Skirt, $30

The high waisted style of this skirt makes the bow grown up.

Lace Lately

It's almost Memorial Day which means if you abide by the white pants rules of summer, it's almost time to break out the whites, the lace, the eyelets. Today I thought we would get the shopping started with white lace. Feminine, airy, and the definition of summer.

Piperlime, Sabine Lace Top, $49

I started with my favorite. I love this short sleeve, lacy hem blouse. I just think it is stunning.

JCPenny, Worthington Peplum Top, $19

I like this top because the peplum hits at a very natural spot. It creates an hourglass on the perfect spot on the torso.

Loft, Floral Lace Shell, $44

This will be your go to white shell this summer. It's well made, great shape and can be worn alone or layered with just about anything.

Lord and Taylor, Jessica Simpson Lace Top, $44

I see you J Simp. Stepping up your game and I love it.

White lace doesn't need to be butterflies and purity. Pair these tops with a fringy or neon necklace to spice things up! Or keep it simple with a nice charm necklace.

Color Within the Lace

Hey there lovebugs,

I hope you are having a great week. One trend that I'm really loving right now is colored lace. So often lace is simple and pure white. Not anymore. 

Madewell, Meadowlace Mini, $88

I love this bright and cheery mini. It is just stunning and you can pair it with any color you'd like.

Asos, French Connection Lace Double Layer Tank, $69

This is an interesting top, and I think it would be lovely with jeans or a pencil skirt.

Love. Just love these. So stunning with a great black wedge sandal.

Piperlime, Vendor Boatneck Lace Dress, $69

What makes this dress special is the purple underlay with the red lace. I would add a skinny metallic belt.

Colorful lace is a great way to mix in a pop of something extra. A nice break from all of the little white dresses you'll be seeing this summer.

Lace Up!

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. With spring around the corner, I wanted to take a look at some great light and girly pieces. And since I'm not that much for pastels, I look for other ways to integrate the pretty into my outfit. Today we're looking at lace trim.

Forever 21, Boxy Lace Trim Top, $24

This top is perfect for under a suit blazer or with bf jeans. The horizontal lace is something new and different. 

Charlotte Russe, Belted Lace Trim Chiffon Shirt Dress, $28

The belt and collar on this dress take it from maybe-nightgown to night on the town.

Dillard's, Cremieux Silvia Striped Lace Tee, $41

How sweet is this tee? A great scalloped hem with a wide boatneck, just perfect for spring.

Loehmann's, Soprano Lace Trim Chiffon Ponte Dress, $34

The price of this dress really speaks for itself. I lovely sleeveless dress that is easy to layer up for winter or wear alone for warmer weather.

Adding the girly to my wardrobe is easy to do with accessories, but sometimes I like to throw in a little lace to really step it up. Try to look for lace that isn't simply black and white. Add some neon trim!

Racy Lacy

Happy almost Friday lovebugs! Are we so excited for this weekend? I am. Bring it on Inauguration. I plan to hunker down in my apartment, turn on my former employer, CNN, and enjoy history. But until then, let's look at some lace. Lace is usually connected with ladylike items and delicate things. But when you add the word red to lace all of the sudden it gets hot. Steamy. How can you wear this during the day? Why I'm so glad you asked!

Madewell, Scallop Lace Top, $84
This is perfect for work or play, I love how the scallop detail is not only on the hem but also the sleeves.

Victoria's Secret, Lace Trim Pencil Skirt, $69
This peek-a-boo lace is ok for the office with the right shoes. No come hither heels with this skirt, keep it classy.

Forever 21, Lace Panel 3/4 Length Sleeve Top, $13
This beautiful top is $13. Thirteen dollars. Just yes.

Dorothy Perkins, Red Lace Dress, $55
I think I would lose the ribbon and add a patent skinny belt to make this more mature.

Red lace doesn't have to be Valentine's Day sexy. Wear it during the day with items like these!

Lace Accessory

Lovebugs,
Lace is big this winter and you can find lace details almost everywhere; but what about doing a lace accessory? Something feminine and simple.
