Brilliant Idea

Sometimes I am chock-full of ideas for posts. Brimming with trends to try and sales to spoil. Sometimes I'm at a loss. And when that happens I often turn to The bf and ask 'what should I write about?' And sometimes he's helpful. Sometimes. And today is one of those times: let's look at some burgundy clutches.

Banana Republic, Gemma Burgundy Box Clutch, $79 sold out but this one is on sale for $50 with code BREXTRA50

Doesn't this remind you of something your gramma would have and in the best way possible?

Dorothy Perkins, Oxblood Asymmetric Clutch Bag, $28

How about a mixed media clutch with a wristlet option? Yes.

Free People, Harper Vegan Clutch, $48

I love the fold over detail and the pebbled leather of this oh-so-soft accessory.

Yoox, Tantra Across Body Bag, $35 $27

An envelope style with a little metal. Love it.

Sometimes The bf has some great ideas and these maroon, burgundy, oxblood, whatever you want to call are a great addition to your fall collection.

Dotty Darling

I saw these gloves and I knew I had to do a post on them. Target nailed it with these gloves. They're the perfect mix of grown up and fun. They're leather and polka dot.

 Target, Merona Polka Dot Leather Glove, $16

Love. 

Here are some other polka dot glove options.

Yoox, Vero Moda Gloves, $25

Adorable wrist details and the price is nice too.

Mango, Metallic Polka Dot Print Gloves, $29

These adorable gloves also come in khaki. I love the embossed dot detail.

Ann Taylor, Polka Dot Gloves, $39

And of course we needed a big ol' dot. These fit the bill.

A good glove can be fun and fashionable and it can be an investment piece. Think about your winter coat, your scarf, and have some fun with it!

Pleated Please?

Morning lovebugs!
Happy Monday to you.  Did you have a good weekend? I sure did.  Relaxing, a little bit lazy, a little bit social- just my kind.

Today I want to talk about a great detail to add to your wardrobe.  When done correctly it is super chic and preppy, when not....balloon-like.  Pleats!

Tommy Hilfiger, Chambray pleated skirt, $36!!!

Chambray (denim) is huge for Spring and Summer! Add pleats and adorable pockets and you've got your go-to item for the season.

Topshop, pleated frill dress, $90

I'm loving this swingy, airy dress for Spring.  Great color and the pleats add dimension to the silk.

Macy's, Shutter pleat cardigan, $60

This detail is quiet and sophisticated.  Perfect for work or pink heels!

Yoox, Adam by Lippes, $29

Let me be clear: I don't approve of pleats on shorts or pants unless you try them on; because 9 times out of 10 you will look like you're going to take flight.  However, if you find silky, soft shorts that are pleated, like above- snag them.  They're gorgeous.

Nordstrom, Halogen double pleat blouse, $58

I love this flowy top for work or play.  The color and pattern is so interesting and the pleats make a unique neckline.

So when you buy pleats, think two opposites: very flowy and light or very structured and preppy.  The inbetween will give you an extra 10 pounds!
