Slip On Style

I loved the athletic chic trend we saw this summer and I'm looking forward to continuing it into the fall. Now that we are putting the sandals away, I tend to gravitate to more casual weekend shoes before it's boot season. This year, I'm all about the slip on sneaker. It's athletic, comfortable, and totally versatile.

Nordstrom, Steve Madden Ecentrcq, $59

Simple gray quilted leather will go with everything. 

Farfetch, Vans Slip On Sneakers, $83

These are tiny bears. How can you not love this? 

Macy's, Ralph Lauren Cedar Slip On Sneakers, $89

Black jeans, bf faded jeans, a long sleeve sweatshirt dress, this is a do it all sneaker.

Swell, Vans Polka Dot Classic Slip Ons, $49

I found polka dot ones, I needed to post them. I'm not sorry.

Slip on sneakers offer style and comfort for fall before it's tights and boots season. Embrace the athletic look with a print or style that works for you!

Excessive Celebration

Today we're going to pair accessories with varsity tees. It's football season and you may not have a team or a clue as to why they're throwing yellow flags, you can participate. You totally can. Bring the queso and try these sporty yet chic options.

Top: Forever 21

Necklace: Forever 21

I love this combination because it's simple. This necklace is longer so you can layer it or leave as is. I also like the slub green tee. 

Top: Revolve

Necklace: Modcloth

I love this look. The 3/4 length sleeve is perfect with a denim jacket and this necklace. Well, do I even need to say anything?

Top: Target

Necklace: Baublebar

Pink, white, and black. Simple, crisp, and easy for any fall day.

Top: Swell

Necklace: JCrew Factory

I like the neutral style and the combination of the textural necklace with a soft cotton tee.

Dress up this weekend and turn some heads while looking the part! Pair a statement necklace with a simple and casual tee.

Maximum Cuts

I love maxis. I really do. They are no fuss, easily packable, and they are throw on and go. This summer you've seen printed maxis, dressy maxis, how about cutout maxis? A strategically placed cutout takes these maxis to the next level.

Asos, Paisley Cutout Maxi, $99

I'm starting with my favorite. How beautiful is this dress? I love the colors, the material, and the fact that it is machine washable.

Missguided, Crepe Bralet Maxi Dress, $90

Ready for date night, ready for the vineyard, ready for anything. Gorgeous.

Swell, Billabong Hold On Me High Neck Maxi, $59

This is a great vacation dress. The print is playful and bright and I love the high neckline.

Shoptiques, Mustard Seed Red and White Maxi, $45

A beautiful halter option that I think would be perfect for a Fourth of July party. Dress it down for daytime with flat sandals (see Monday's post) and dress it up with a drop earring and heels.

When it's maxi season you need any excuse to add just one more to your closet. I love the cutout maxi because it's not overly sexy and it's perfect for summer.

Tell It Tunic To Me Straight

Let's talk tunics. I have a love hate relationship with them. Some people have these amazing bodies that can pull off this completely shapeless item, and I salute you. Some of us on the other hand like the idea of a tunic but need a bit more structure. Today I give you the best of both worlds: two breezy tunic dresses and two more structured options.

Swell, Raga Autumn Meadow Tunic, $84

Look at this beautiful printed tunic dress. I love the pattern, the material it reminds me of the 70s trend we looked at a few weeks ago. 

Dorothy Perkins, Girls on Film Coral Floral Tunic Dress, $35

Now something with some weight to it. Here is a great tunic dress with an even better all over print.

Shoptiques, Umgee Forest Bell Tunic, $62

This dress screams summer. I love the scoop neck with a longer necklace and that crochet trim detail is just perfect.

Boden, Everyday Tunic Dress, $98

And one more time with a bit of structure. Simple and sleeveless, this dress is great for a casual afternoon or dress it up with espadrilles and standout earrings.

The tunic dress is great because it works for every shape and style, with some effort. Want an easy breezy look, look for a billowy fabric and peasant details. Need a bit more definition? Look for heavier cotton and darting on the back that tapers in.

That Web You Weave

Let's talk sandals. It's pedicure time. Get those toes painted and looking good because it's time to let them breathe in sandals. Today's sandal pick is a woven one in monochrome. A very simple shoe that will be very versatile in your closet. I like the woven look because it's casual and easy.

Swell, Billabong Shorel Trips Woven Sandal, $39

Yes, that Billabong. Stay with me. How Anthro are these sandals? Love the price point.

Cusp, TOMS Woven Diamond Strappy Wedge, $69

You know the brand, you love the comfort, this sandal delivers all of that and more.

Forever 21, Faux Leather Woven Sandals, $17

A well-traveled pattern makes these sandals perfect for a fun weekend.

Sole Society, Lucky Brand Baheeti, $58

Simple, chic, denim-ready. That's about all you need to know.

Nothing too groundbreaking about this trend and that's why I love it. It's timeless and perfect for weekends or vacation.

Mule-ing it Over

Mules are weird. Both the animal and the trend. I'm not sure why it's a thing but it's one of the more comfortable trends we're seeing right now so I'm on board. Mule sandals are particularly great because they're usually very walkable with some nice support versus a strappy option.

Anthropologie, Lien.Do Sol Mules, $99

Woven rafia, does it get more summer than this? They're just so pretty.

Swell, Rebels Hallie Perforated Peep Toe Heel, $72

The detail of the perforation is so quiet that it add just the right amount of style to these otherwise organic and simple heels.

Nordstrom, Jessica Simpson Romy Leather Mules, $88

Gotta love J Simp for adding  pop of pink to this nude sandal. This is white jean ready.

Bare Necessities, Seychelles Leather Mule Sandals, $78

I'd save these shoes for a cool summer night with a breezy maxi dress. The leather is going to give you some sweaty feet but with this much style, who cares?

The mule trend is sticking around for a while and in this variation of a summer sandal, that is just fine by me.

Don't Be A Pain

You know what I hate? Headbands that give you headaches. You're just trying to mix in some variety in your hairstyles/you didn't wash your hair, but really, what's the deal with the behind the ear headache? No more. Today let's look at some wraparound headbands. But today we're getting specific: beaded and under $25.

Swell, Karpathos Beaded Headband, $19

I love the shapes and colors in this piece. The red and turquoise pop against the balancing brown.

Forever 21, Eclectic Beaded Headband, $9

This headband is in the single digits. Look at the friendship bracelet-inspired pattern. I love it.

Asos, Sequin Bead Headband, $10

This is a very feminine headband. Sequins, beads, and a ribbon detail make this a beautiful accessory for work or play.

Nordstrom, Leith Seed and Bead Pyramid Stud Head Wrap, $24

How about this thicker geometric option? I love the colors and the width of this headband.

Ever since I donated my hair back in December, I've been a headband fiend since it's not quite long enough for a ponytail. The wraparound headband is a great headache-free option!

Four Eyes

What else do you need when you're on vacation? Sunglasses! Duh. Oh, don't worry we did flip flops a few weeks ago.

Fred Flare, Floral Minnie Lou Sunglasses, $12

How about some floral fun? So great with chambray or some polka dots!

Fossil, Katie Aviator, $50

How about some feminine aviators? Choose from orange or four other colors.

DKM Accessories, Monogram Sunglasses, $34

Fact: I own these. They're fantastic. They make you feel so fancy for so cheap.

Swell, Replay Matte Neon Sunglasses, $28

Pink! Fun! Yes!

For sunnies, I tend to go cheap. Something that goes with everything but if they get smashed in my purse it's not the end of the world.

Snake Charmer

Given that it is Halloween tomorrow, I thought we could do a spooky type of jewelry today. Snakes. Not snakeskin, I'm talking slithering, slimy snakes!

Swell, Snake Ring, $12

This great adjustable ring is not scary at all, in fact its kind of chic! Love the brass.

Max & Chloe, Blu Bijoux Snake Post Earrings, $14

How cute are these? These would be adorable with jeans.

Zappos, Vince Camuto Snake Pendant Necklace, $42

I love this necklace because use got great length at 32 inches. Perfect for a camp shirt.

NY & Co, Eva Snake Coiled Bracelets, $17

A nice set of three bangles that can be dressed up or down.

So there you have it, a non-tacky way to do jewelry fit for Halloween. And something you can wear after October.
