Daisy Dos!

Daisies! How cheery and light.  They are one of my favorite flowers! How about wearing them?

Kate Spade, Daisy Stud Earring, $45

Oh Kate! I love you and your fabulous earrings!

Nordstrom, Halogen Flower Applique, $40

3/4 length sleeves make this cardi perfect for spring.

Forever 21, Retro daisy skirt, $18

This skirt is beyond adorable.  Great A-line, great pattern.

Topshop, green scribble daisy, $32

Are you ready for summer when you look at this top? It's almost a piece of graffiti art! And the scalloped hem is lovely.

What are your fave florals to wear? Get ready, Spring is coming, I promise!

Pleated Please?

Morning lovebugs!
Happy Monday to you.  Did you have a good weekend? I sure did.  Relaxing, a little bit lazy, a little bit social- just my kind.

Today I want to talk about a great detail to add to your wardrobe.  When done correctly it is super chic and preppy, when not....balloon-like.  Pleats!

Tommy Hilfiger, Chambray pleated skirt, $36!!!

Chambray (denim) is huge for Spring and Summer! Add pleats and adorable pockets and you've got your go-to item for the season.

Topshop, pleated frill dress, $90

I'm loving this swingy, airy dress for Spring.  Great color and the pleats add dimension to the silk.

Macy's, Shutter pleat cardigan, $60

This detail is quiet and sophisticated.  Perfect for work or pink heels!

Yoox, Adam by Lippes, $29

Let me be clear: I don't approve of pleats on shorts or pants unless you try them on; because 9 times out of 10 you will look like you're going to take flight.  However, if you find silky, soft shorts that are pleated, like above- snag them.  They're gorgeous.

Nordstrom, Halogen double pleat blouse, $58

I love this flowy top for work or play.  The color and pattern is so interesting and the pleats make a unique neckline.

So when you buy pleats, think two opposites: very flowy and light or very structured and preppy.  The inbetween will give you an extra 10 pounds!

Staple Purchase: Trench

You guys,
I'm in the midst of a staple purchase.  What does that mean? It means I'm about to buy something that I will spend a little extra on because I will use it frequently and hopefully for years to come.  Much like the wallet post from yesterday.

Are you so excited to hear what I'm going to purchase? I know, I am too.  I am buying a Spring trench/rain coat/ bright color or patterned light jacket.  So many things this purchase needs to accomplish!  I've narrowed it down to a few choices.  Let me know what you think!

Canvas, Patterned merriweather coat, $89

This is the front-runner right now. I like color, pattern, detachable hood and belt.

Nordstrom, Gallery Hooded Trench, $98

As I said before I do not want a khaki trench- this green is perfect!

Express, Ruffled bottom belted trench, $89

How sassy is this? The ruffles are so cheery.

Kohl's, LC Lauren Conrad Trench, $84

I love everything about this coat.  The lines are simple and clean, great length and that bow on the back.  Come on.  Love.

So what do you think? Did I miss any? When I'm doing a staple purchase I tend to mull over my options for at least a week before taking the plunge- so please, I'm open to suggestions!

Be fabulous today!
