Knot Mad

One of my favorite things about women's fashion is that it's always improving on itself. Flares become culottes, platforms become stacked heels, you get the idea. And just when you get bored with one style, a new one pops up. I love a pencil skirt but, let's be honest, it can get tired. So when I found the knot skirt, I knew I found my new love.

Bloomingdale's, Lush Tie Front Mini Skirt, $32

See what I mean? So adorable.

Nordstrom Rack, Socialite Side Knot Bodycon Skirt, $22

A going out skirt with flare. Dang girl.

Lord & Taylor, Kensie Love Poetry Knot Skirt, $29

As if it could get more interesting, a high low situation for the win!

Gap, Softspun Wrap Knot Skirt, $34

Something super soft and casual. Love this side knot.

These skirts have personality without being loud. Great color and pattern options to make you smile!

Cold Caller

Today's post is inspired by my weekend, well my dog's weekend. Norman had a tough one. He's fine but he's in the cone of shame for two weeks. To honor Norm, we are looking at playful collars on tops and dresses that are perfect for summer.

Nordstrom Rack, Ruffle Twofer Dress, $69

I'm loving, loving this dress. Bow waist, pleats, stripes, and a ruffle collar.

H&M, Sleeveless Ruffled Blouse, $14

Gathered collar in a sweet blush. Also comes in a great monochrome print.

Nordstrom Rack, CAD Sleeveless Ruffle Tank, $9

Under ten bucks? Yes. Also its a sweatshirt so crazy comfy.

Ann Taylor, Pleated Collar Blouse, $69

Slightly less exaggerated than the other options but still a standup collar with some pop.

While Norman won't be wearing any of these beauties, I think a bold collar is always a great option to dress up an outfit.

Lucky Charms

One of the (many) things I've admired about my sister is her love of a very specific piece of jewelry - her charm bracelet. She has taken such care and such love with this bracelet and only adds to it on very special occasions.

If you're like her, I salute your patience and persistence with this piece. If you're not, let me show you some fabulous charm bracelets that are ready to wear.

Amazon, Lucky Brand Owl Charm Bracelet, $23

A little boho, and very understated. Perfect for layering or to wear on its own.

QVC, CWonder Crystal and Enamel Ladybug Charm Bracelet, $39

Preppy, colorful, and ready for warm weather.

Ann Taylor, Star Charm Bracelet, $49

I think this is my favorite of the bunch because of the diversity of the charms.

Nordstrom Rack, Lucky Brand Moon & Star Charm Bracelet, $19

Something a bit daintier, but still eye catching.

So if you're looking for a ready to wear charm bracelet - look for something that says you. Look for a charm that you love like an owl, ladybug, moon, you name it, and off you go.

A beautiful lace top is essential for summer. It's delicate and special but still able to be dressed up or down. Play with colors, patterns, and textures  - you are sure to find something you love.

A beautiful blush that you can style with jeans, white, or even a navy skirt.

Not what you think of when you think of lace, right?

Saks Fifth Avenue, Alice + Olivia Pasha Lace Bell Sleeve Top, $70

A punchy yellow with playful poms on the edge of an asymmetrical detail.

Flutter Nutter

I'm really into a dress with personality. Skip a solid sheath dress and give me something with flair. That's why I love a great flutter sleeve dress. This simple detail packs a punch that really dresses up the look.

Nordstrom Rack, Betsey Johnson Chiffon Flutter Sleeve Maxi, $64

Stunning allover print with a show stopping neckline.

Zappos, Jessica Simpson Flutter Sleeved Dress, $69

Cobalt that makes a statement. Perfect for a wedding.

Asos, Flutter Sleeve Crossover Dress, $60

This dress is a great canvas to play with. Add a metallic belt or statement necklace to have some fun with color.

New York & Company, Flutter Sleeve Hi-Lo Dress, $44

Another great color and perfect for twirling, which is a major dress requirement for me.

Solid or print, pastel or monochrome, a flutter sleeve detail really makes a dress special.

Point Me in the Right Direction

Happy humpday!

I hope you are having a great week. I thought we would spend today in comfort but style (per usual) and look at some pointy toe loafers. These beauties are easy to wear to work and dress up a pair of jeans for the weekend.

Nordstrom, Nine West Abay Pointy Toe Loafer, $48

Obsessed would be an understatement. These look like Midas slippers.

Target, Betseyville Inked Tassel D'Orsay Pointy Toe Flats, $29

A spring loafer that is not going to break the bank!

Nordstrom Rack, Vince Camuto Kade Cutout Loafer, $69

Love this navy, but it also comes in a variety of other colors!

Nordstrom, Sole Society Cammila Pointy Toe Loafer, $69

Modern, yet girly. Also comes in gold.

A simple and elegant flat that is inspired by menswear but is styled just for you.

Bell of the Ball

Last month we looked at some pretty fantastic bell sleeve tops. Today let's look at some dress options.  I love these sleeves because they have a bit of drama to them without going crazy.

Nordstrom Rack, Just Me Off the Shoulder Bell Sleeve Dress, $55

Hello LWD. You will do just fine.

Madewell, Bell Sleeve Dress in Leighton Plaid, $64

How about a short sleeve option? I love this simple shift.

NY & Company, 7th Avenue Bell Sleeve Sheath Dress, $69

Hello wedding season. This is your dress.

Macy's, MSK Polka Dot Bell Sleeve Sheath Dress, $69

You know I'm a sucker for polka dots. Match it with a ruffle bell sleeve? Sold.

A beautiful detail like the bell sleeve is fantastic because it doesn't need to match anything. It's not a pattern or solid you need to compliment, it's an extra that has personality.

Lucky to Be in Lavender

Hello and happy Monday. Today's blog is in honor of my apartment guest this weekend. A dear friend who is getting married next month and her new last name will be Lavender. I know, score. She was here all weekend and then her Sunday night flight got cancelled. So today, we honor her and her patience with all things lavender.

Anthropologie, Adaenia Twist Front Top, $38

Who doesn't need a crazy soft top for summer? I love the front seam and twist.

Nordstrom Rack, Free People Allure Pullover, $42

I love a slouchy sweater. And this one has personality. 

Ann Taylor, Knot Front Top, $64

Perhaps the best comfortable work top of all time.

Urban Outfitters, Truly Madly Deeply Annabella Peplum Tank, $34

Let's start and end with a comfy summer tee. Sweet, playful, and comes in a variety of colors.

Let's hope soon to be Mrs. Lavender is in the air shortly and back to South Carolina. In the meantime,  we'll amuse ourselves with these fantastic tops!

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.
