In the Navy

Happy Monday lovebugs,
Today we are combining two of my favorite things: cheese and bacon. Kidding. Navy and stripes. Two classic styles that go beautifully together.

Asos, Wood Wood Mary Stripe Dress, $94

Half off right now. I love the turtleneck and the pockets. Pair it with booties.

Shopbop, Club Monaco Jewelle Turtleneck, $70

The width of these stripes are fantastic. Gives it a sailor vibe.

LandsEnd, Thermacheck Fleece Peacoat, $29

Classic silhouette, great stripe, and this price! A peacoat will never go out of style.

Levi's, Classic Crewneck Sweater, $59

How cozy does this sweater look? I'd dress it up for work with long pearls and for play I would add a contrasting oxford underneath.

Navy stripes are not just for the dog days of summer, I love this pattern and color for sweater weather because it's versatile and fun.

Never Say Never to Navy

Back to basics today. Some things in the closet are utility pieces. Go to bottoms or tops that are a great canvas. Today we are looking at some of my favorite navy ankle pants. Simple, classic, and a great base for a killer outfit.

Banana Republic, Sloan Fit Slim Ankle Pant, $89 $49

Classic. A great silhouette and waistline. 

Nordstrom, Michael Kors Hutton Ankle Zip Slim Pintuck Pants, $89

A beautiful front seam pant that is going to lengthen your legs and give you a killer tush.

Loft, Essential Skinny Ankle Pants in Marisa Fit, $69

Unusual for a slim cut pant, working pockets! Good work Loft.

Macy's, Tommy Hilfiger Jacquard Dot Print Ankle Pants, $89 $59

Don't hate me, I went a little rogue with this navy pant. It has simple dots on it and I'm not sorry.

Sometimes you want to shop for statement pieces; other times it's staple piece shopping. If you are looking for a do it all pant that isn't denim, navy is your go to.

Navy or Nothing

A few weeks ago we looked at a fantastic utility piece: the black cropped pant. You guys seemed to love it so today we're taking a similar look at the navy option. I love this color for a nautical look or dressed up with some neon baubles.

Banana Republic, Sloan Fit Ankle Pant. $89

955 reviews make this pretty much a sure thing. 5% spandex doesn't hurt either.

Loft, Fluid Stretch Twill, $69

How about a nice pin tuck front pleat to dress things up?

Macy's, Michael Kors Skinny Ankle Pant, $69

I like this option because it has a button instead of a hook and eye, a little more stability.

Gap, Mini Skimmer Khakis, $49

A great cotton option for something a little more casual. Add a preppy belt and some flats.

I hope these navy options give you some ideas for your more colorful and adventurous blouses. These skimmers say 'give me pattern or give me death!'

Deep Sea Baggage

An unusual bag can come in a new shape, a new style, but what about a new color? Navy. Nothing groundbreaking, but how often do you see a deep blue, saturated, navy bag.

Topshop, Winged Pushlock Tote, $90

Winged totes are huge right now, and in this deep blue hue it's so sleek.

American Apparel, Medium Leather Carry All, $46

The perfect going out bag. Throw it all in there, put it under your arm and get going.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Fold Over Woven Tote, $48

A beautiful double strap bag that is perfect for when the weather gets warmer.

Macy's, Michael Kors Large Pouch Wristlet, $78

Simple, discreet, and very easy to match.

Navy is such an underused color for accessories. It's a beautiful color to mix into any wardrobe.

Navy Baubles

Hey lovebugs, happy Monday. How was your weekend? I saw a ton of ladies sporting great warm weather clothes this weekend and I couldn't be more excited to start wearing my dresses and short sleeves.

Today I was inspired by a page in Lucky magazine; I spotted this great navy bauble and I thought how often do we search for navy jewels? Not very often right? But why not? Navy is a great color to mix in and especially in an accessory.

Endless, Yochi Navy Stone Burst Earring, $36

These are a great dangle earring, I picture it with a hot pink blouse of an orange shirtdress.

Lilly Pulitzer, Upscale Bangle, $58

Gotta have some Lilly in your summer wardrobe.

Neiman Marcus, Panacea Cabochon Hoop Earrings, $36

Fun fact: I want my wedding colors to be navy and orange. These earrings just called out to me, I love em.

Bauble Bar, Elliptic Bib, $24

This nautical inspired piece would be perfect for a white eyelet summer dress.

Do you mix in navy to your accessories? It's such a great neutral staple that still adds some interest to your outfit.

OPI Inspired: Navy

It's been a while since we've done a nail polish inspired post. Today I wanted to do a color I'm currently wearing: OPI Suede collection in Russian Navy.

Shabby Apple, Le Seine, $86

How simple and vintage. The blend of print and solid is spot on.

Modcloth, Le Centre Pompidou Skirt, $35

I just LOVE how this skirt falls, the A-line is beautiful.

Old Navy, Chain Cord Necklace, $17

I like the mix of chain and ribbon, great mix of blues as well.

Something about this nail polish that is very sleek and cool. What are you wearing on your nail lately?

Patriots

It's the last day of football week on the blog. What did you think?  I like using these colors for inspiration because they are so saturated and bright, no pastels, no neons, just hard color.

Today's post is for the Patriots.  A little red, a little blue with some hints of white inbetween.

Converse, Jack Purcell CP Navy, $55

I love my jack purcells. They're perfect for weekends and running around the city.  You can throw them in the washing machine and they will look as good as new.

J Crew, Silk Camisole, $39

You can never have enough of the basics, and this red silk cami you will wear year round for many years to come.

Gap, 1969 real straight jeans, $69

I'll admit, I've spent money on Citizens jeans and they're great, but Gap will always be my go to for any style of denim.

Old Navy, Helmet Tee, $19

I love a soft, comfy, throw back tee like this.

Blue and red doesn't always have to scream Fourth of July.  Break it up to make an outfit pop with red or grounded with navy.
