Don't Make Me Blush

The calendar says it's spring. The thermometer may not agree but I'm ready to break out the sandals and pastels. Maybe its a few weeks early for open toe shoes but bring on the spring with pinks and light blue hues. Today we're looking at some perfectly spring blush bags. They feel like May even when you feel like October.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Metallic Trim Faux Leather Bucket Bag, ~~$100~~ $45

Hello pinch me pink. This bag is easy to wear to work or tie on a short scarf for play.

Old Navy, Faux Leather Tassel Saddle Bag, $34

Didn't think Old Navy was this chic, did you?

Ann Taylor, Signature Crossbody Bag, $98

Blush with a pebbly finish, what a simple extra oomph for a ladylike bag.

Modcloth, Worth the Tassel Bag, $59

Doublesided tassel and an adjustable shoulder strap. All under $60!

Spring means pastel and sunshine and while I can't guarantee the latter, I love blush for spring especially in something as easy as a new bag.

Pretty in Pink

Every career lady needs a great blazer. Why not have a go to blazer that makes you smile? I'm talking about a color that brightens up your face and your day. Let's look at pink blazers. Non-girly girls, hang with me. Picture these pastel pretties with ripped bf jeans, a windowpane pencil skirt. Dress it up, down, and style it for you.

Asos, Edge to Edge Ponte Blazer, $60

Look at this amazingness. Look at it! The stand up collar is going to make everyone in the office stand up.

Mango, Structured Cotton Blazer, $99

Single button blazers have a longer and leaner feel that make the pink a little more masculine.

Missguided, Lapel Detail Longline Blazer, $59

Pro tip: when you wear this to work, wear a real shirt. Pair it with slim fitted ponte pants for an easy, chic outfit.

Forever 21, Classic Woven Blazer, $24

A tuxedo style lapel is going to pair beautifully a crepe soft pant.

Stick with pink this spring. Pick a hue that works with your skin tone, pastel to punchy, you will always find a pink that suits you.

Pretty in Quilt

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a great weekend. Today I thought we would start the week off with something soft. A nice soft pink but with a twist- quilted. The quilted trend is really interesting because on one end of the spectrum you have the classic Chanel quilted look but on the other you have the casual sweatshirt style. I love this dichotomy. Let's look at some blush quilted picks.

H&M, Biker Jacket, $49

Not what you expected, am I right? Girly meets biker.

Forever 21, Quilted Knit Sweater, $19

This sweater can be dressed up with a button down and statement necklace or wear as is with bf jeans.

PacSun, Madden Girl x Kendall & Kylie Empiiree Shoes, $49

Slip on sneaks are all the rage this fall. These are a great neutral option.

Nordstrom, Two by Vince Camuto Zip Detail Cable Quilted Sweater, $99

A quilted cable pattern is different and the zipper detail makes this blush a little less feminine.

The quilted trend can run from the ultra-spendy tot he comfy sweatshirt and that is a trend I love. Anyone can get on board and in these blush hues, it's an easy mix in to your wardrobe.

What's Your Favorite Color?

As you know, I'm not really one for pastels. I prefer more saturated and deep colors. So today I thought we would look at one of my favorites. It's a beautiful shade of pink called fuchsia. It's a gorgeous purple, pink color that I find so easy to wear no matter what the season.
