Boiling Bows

Its hard to look cute when its this hot outside. I get it. That's why I love the feminine sleeveless blouse. But let's dress it up a bit. Add a big ol' bow to that mix and you've got an eye catching look.

Hello monochrome class. What a stunner. Also comes in the reverse white and black.

NY & Co, Eva Mendes Evie Sleeveless Blouse, $29

A great scallop print that you can style for work or play.

Did I mention these blouses are all under $50? Yeah. A easy piece to add to your closet this summer.

Petal Pushers

Friday eve, almost there lovebugs. Let's embrace this warm weather with some floral inspired pieces. I don't know about you, but my legs are looking real pale still, so I'm not wearing skirts everyday. That's why I love the cropped pant for work. They're comfortable and versatile and in floral, they're perfect for summer.

A beautiful oversized graphic that is feminine and unique.

Something a little more fitted, would look great with a blazer.

When Corked Is A Good Thing

I've put away my sweaters, and brought out my sundresses, but now my bags are looking tired. Warm weather bags are all about color and spring textures. One of those materials that scream spring and summer to me is cork.

I love a statement box clutch because, it's well, clutch. This one is stunning.

Fierce and Fringe

I'm not much for festival style, but there are pieces of this trend that get me excited. For instance: fringe. It's casual and cool in an effortless sort of way. I'm not going to try to pull it off in a vest or even a top, but a bag? I can rock a fringe bag.

Shoptiques, Large Fringed Clutch Arizona, $69 $49

Different and great for a night out.

Charming Charlie, On the Fringe Crossbody Bag, $25 $14

How great is this bag for summer? Picture it with shorts and a tee.

Maybe the wild card of the bunch, but how cool is this bag?

Hello drama. I also read this as 'friggin' clutch bag. 

Have you tried fringe for spring? So dramatic but in a cool girl kind of way.

Mar-a-Cargo

It's that time of year when the light jacket is a must have. The wool has been put away but you still need something in the early mornings and early evenings. I really love the cargo jacket this season because it's got an effortless feel that even the jean jacket can't match.

A feminine military jacket that looks great with a silk scarf.

Fall In Line with Trends

It's March 1, which means spring is around the corner. One spring trend I really love this year is the military jacket. It's versatile and easy to layer with just about any style. Throw it on with any casual look for an extra bit of flair.

Bet you didn't see this feminine take on the military jacket coming. Love this.
