Now You See Me

Let's play with a great print that has been around for forever: camo. It's rough around the edges but I promise, even the girliest girls can make it work for their style.

Simple and sleek. I'm pairing it with gold slip on sneakers and a white tee with a statement necklace.

You gotta love the price for these well structured pants. Dress them up with heels!

Target, Camo Utility Pants, $29

Something Blue

Spring is for florals but when you get past the pastels, the magentas, and the orchid colors, you will find yourself in a more jeweled world. The sapphire. This color neither navy nor sky blue, its somewhere in between.

For reference we go to the pros: pantone.

Modcloth, Daysprings Glow Earring, $9

These petal inspired earrings are a step up from your average stud earring.

NY & Co, Soft Floral Pant, $59

A gathered elastic waistband makes these easy breezy pants perfect for a warm summer night. 

Loft, Scribble Floral Print Scarf, $34

This light and airy accessory can be added to a simple tee, under a denim jacket, or with a white button down.

Romwe, Lace Floral Belted Dress, $30

Talk about your classic sundress. This simple sapphire lace floral can stand alone or pile on a statement necklace. 

Florals are expected this time of year, mix it up with an unexpected color: sapphire.

Basic principles... there are none

Fun fact: My favorite movie is Hitch. Yes, that fantastic (Oscar-snubbed) film with Will Smith, Kevin James and the gorgeous Eva Mendes. Why am I telling you this? Because you should go watch it. No, kidding (kind of), I want to talk about Eva's new line from NY & Company. It's gorgeous, feminine and perfect for work to play. Here are some of my favorites from the collection.

NY & Co, Gia Lace Bodice Sheath, $75

This beautiful high waisted dress is easy to wear to work with a blazer of add on the bling for a cocktail party.

NY & Co, Vintage Rose Bow Blouse, $42

A soft print that is ladylike and fitted. Oh and most importantly, machine washable.

NY & Co, Serena Textured Coin Bracelet, $24

Wear this with a dress or a suit, it's a statement piece but it doesn't need the main stage to get noticed.

NY & Co, Anna Banded Collar Top, $46

What I like about this top is that you can tuck it, belt it, or let it flow. It fits any style.

Eva did a great job making a woman feel beautiful without skin tight or uncomfortable fabrics.

I Heart Hearts

Hey there lovebugs,
How was your weekend? I saw some great friends and spent some quality time with my main man, Norman.

As February gets underway, I'm hearting hearts. Please be advised I despise the word heart as a verb. However, for the sake of fantastic blogging, let's look at some hearts!

Forever 21, Sequined Hearts Pullover, $23

I love this casual top. It's perfect for a lazy day or a casual outfit.

Asos, Rare Lace Skater Dress with Heart Cut Out Back, $32

How about the perfect V-Day dress for under $40?

NY & Co, Heart-print pencil skirt, $46

How amazing is this graffiti print? It reminds me of my notebook in middle school.

Topshop, Long Sleeve Heart Flippy Dress. $80

The fact the this dress has the word 'flippy' in it makes me just want to put it on and twirl around in it. 

So do you heart these hearts? I think these little numbers are perfect for V-Day or any day for that matter!

Full Frontal

Vests are a trend that I have a hard time getting into. I'm not sure why, but I just usually prefer a cardi. But the open front vest trend is something that I'm getting into recently. I've seen a lot of my fellow bloggers sporting them, so let's take a look at some options. 

Dillard's, Kensie open knit vest, $58

A great open knit is perfect for summer. I'd layer a neon bauble with this.

Urban Outfitters, Sparkle & Fade Sheer Chiffon Vest, $49

A little rocker. I might add a skinny belt to this for some definition.

NY & Co, Open front tie vest, $29

Speaking of adding some silhouette definition, this vest does it for you with a great tie. I love the crisp look of this vest.

Gap, Ribbed racerback vest, $44

A great olive color with a shawl collar. I love this vest. It also comes in cream.

I think the open front vest offers a little more versatility than a buttoned up one. You can leave it open, belt it or accessorize it another way.

Violet & White

Happy Thursday lovebugs!

Today I wanted to do a crisp color combination that I think will be hot for summer.  Violet and white.  This combination is super clean and chic, and can be dressed up or down.

Target, Mossimo convertible maxi dress, $35

I love this dress more in its other convertible style, as a halter, such a rich color.  I'd pair it with the necklace below:

NY & Company, bold cabochon bib necklace, $25

I like this bib necklace because it will draw attention upwards, which is nice when wearing a maxi dress.

Boden Upbeat Wool mini, $42

Oh Boden, you always know how to make me swoon.  I'd pair it with this blouse:

Loft, Ruffle neck blouse, $44

Crisp, white, and feminine.

Talbots, 5 inch garment-dyed twill shorts, $49

I really love these shorts because they're not skin tight and they don't pull across the waistline. I'd pair it with this top:

Modcloth, Art Room Flirtation Top, $48

Great sleeves and I love the gathering under the bust.

So what do you think? Are you liking this color combo as much as I am?  I'm personally not quite ready for white bottoms, but in just a few short weeks I think we'll be seeing a lot of them!
