Combo Trends

Today's post idea is a good one. It combines two fantastic summer trends and makes for a ridiculously easy outfit: off the shoulder chambray.

Dillard's, Copper Key Off the Shoulder Ruffle Chambray Romper, $49

There is so much adorableness going on in this look. The detail on the short hem, the ruffle collar. I love it.

Saks Fifth Avenue, Lucca Couture Chambray Off the Shoulder Top, $39

Something a little dressier? Why not when it's under forty bucks!

Nordstrom, JCrew Tie Waist Chambray Off the Shoulder Dress, $98

Need to get out the door in a hurry on a Saturday? I give you this dress.

Loft, Chambray Tie Off the Shoulder Top, $49

So simple and fresh. Also has spaghetti straps you can tie on the shoulder if you're not feeling the cold shoulder.

So there you have it, one of the best combo deals for summer.

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

White Out

Winter white is always beautiful to wear this time of year. I really love it in cashmere or a sleek wool pant, but what about accessories? Today we are looking at some beautiful white drop earrings that are dressy and feminine.

Saks off Fifth, Funky Shape Drop Earrings, $14

These have got some movement. I love the multiple teardrops in different tiers and sizes.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Lydell NYC Marquise Crystal Studs, $16

These are a little showgirly and I love them. Can't beat the price!

Nordstrom, Jenny Packham Wanderlust Drop Earrings, $88

How about these beauties? A bit of an antique feel to them.

BaubleBar, Fatima Drops, $38

Gotta round it out with BaubleBar. They know statement earrings.

Playing with Pleats

Happy Monday lovebugs. Let's play with pleats today. Pleats are great when worn correctly. Pin tuck pleats with work pants, casual pleats with bf chinos, or accordion pleats with a skirt. Today let's go glam and look at some midi skits that are ready for a twirl.

Topshop, Satin Pleat Midi Skirt, $85

I mean, you're welcome. Holy crap amazing. Crop top, silk blouse, leather jacket, you name it. Pair it.

Saks Fifth Avenue, ABS Pleated Chiffon Midi Skirt, $240 $96

Oh hey mega sale! A little dressy but picture it with a chambray button down for daytime.

Mango, Pleated Midi Skirt, $79

Purple perfection. Look at this plum beauty!! I'm pairing it with white and black polka dots and sneakers.

Reiss, Kaeya Bronze Metallic Pleated Skirt, $245 $95

Dressy for night with stacked heels or 9-5 with black booties.

These midi skirts are great for any style because you can pair it with a tee shirt or you can throw on a blazer or add a statement necklace, pick your poison and own it.

Hematite Rope Walk

Here is your geology lesson for the day, ok maybe for the month. Hematite is the mineral form of iron. There you have it. Pretty cool, right? A mineral that adds a touch of bling to jewelry but also translates really well to fashion jewelry.

Amazon, Erickson Beamon Rocks Hematite Trapeze Drop Earrings, $31

Hello glam. I love these with an LBD or black jeans and heels.

Saks off Fifth, Tubular Cluster Collar, $49

I believe this is what they mean when they say 'ice'. Hello statement.

Baublebar, Ice Lead Cuff Hematite Bracelet, $24

A simple cuff that is a bit rocker chic but easy to dress up or down.

River Island, Black Hematite Chunky Stone Necklace, $30

I really like this necklace because it has a raw quality to it. I would dress this with a very casual tee to balance the bling.

So there you have it. Hematite. It's chilly and icy in the best way possible.

Stretch Your Legs

A few weeks ago we looked at elastic ankle pants. Those pants are casual but breezy and are perfect for summer casual office wear. Today we're going to step it up a bit: keep the elastic waist but open up the ankle a bit.

Anthropologie, Tuxedo Stripe Crops, $78  $39!

Picture this with a simple white tshirt and then picture it with a white oxford and black heels. Versatile and comfy.

Saks Fifth Ave, Ellen Tracy Wide Leg Pants, $21

That's right, $21. A delicate tiny dot/floral print makes these crops perfect for work or play because the print isn't distracting.

JCPenny, Wide Leg Soft Pant, $29 $23

A teeny diamond print that is work ready in no time.

Macy's, Vince Camuto Wide Leg Printed Drawstring Pants, $99 $74!

Hi, if you need me, I will be in these pants for the rest of forever. Oh I love them.

Airy comfort that your waist will thank you for. This is a trend I can absolutely get on board with.

Polka Shoes

You know what I love? Polka Dots. And today we're going to take a special look at polka dotted shoes.

 Saks Fifth Avenue, Kate Spade for Keds Kick Polka Dot Canvas Lace Ups, $75

My friend Sarah got me these in orange chevron and I'm obsessed. Who wouldn't love them in dots?

Piperlime, Mullner, $79

There are certain occasions that call for a four and half inch heel. When they come with polka dots and bows it's even better.

Loft, Valencia Bow Sandal, $34

A fabulous alternative to the rubber flip flop!

Macy's, Antonella, $49

How about an espadrille for summer?

Standard, chic, and timeless. Black and white polka dots.

Hands Are Tied

I'm a sucker for bows. Always have been, always will be. I like them on clothes, shoes, bags, you name it. But today we're looking at bows on bracelets.

Kate Spade, Skinny mini bow bracelet, $78

Of course when we talk about bows, we have to start off with the girl herself, Miss Kate Spade.

Nordstrom, Cara Bow Bracelet, $38

This is so much fun and so different. I would layer this with a gold watch and bangle.

Saks Fifth Avenue, Marc Jacobs Tiny Bow Bangle, $58

The nice thing about this bangle is that you don't have to bruise your wrist trying to slide it on. This one has a hook and hinge closure.

Dillard's, Bow Leather Bracelet, $20

Leather and bows. Now we're talking ladies. And it comes in four colors.

So how are you wearing bows lately? Simple and sweet or bigger and bolder? Try out these bracelets with your next arm party.

Brass Jewelry

Hey lovebugs,
Most of you know I usually wear gold jewelry but lately, I'm feeling a different metal: brass. It's a little vintage, a little boho chic, and always a good option.

Han Cholo, Shadow Series Baby Ghetto Blaster, $60

How much fun is this pendant? I love it's funky, cool quality.

Max and Chloe, Chibi Brass Arrow Bracelet, $50

This bracelet is perfect for stacking. It is light and slim, great for an arm party.

Saks Fifth Avenue, Bing Bang Ornate Hoop Earrings, $89

Certainly not your average hoop earrings, these have a great architectural quality.

Revolve Clothing, Giles and Brother Spike Ring, $63

A little badass don't you think?

Brass is such a great metal for any casual outfit, it has a great 'not trying too hard' look about it.
