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.

Nordstrom, Sondra Roberts Floral Cork Clutch, $78

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

Shoptiques, SR2 Sondra Roberts Quilted Cork Clutch, $79

Zoom in on this bag, it's got beautiful gold vertical stripe. 

White House Black Market, Cork Clutch, $44

Wristlet with a modern look. Simple, clean.

Macy's, Evie Clutch, $67

This bag is going to be your go to for every sundress in your closet.

So spice up your accessory game and try some cork, and then pop some cork because you got a great deal.

Spring Sneakers

How about some spring-ready slip ons? Sneakers that are casual, sporty, and chic. I love my Steve Madden slip on quilted sneakers because they are comfortable and easy to wear. These colorful pairs are going to be perfect for the warmer weather.

Hello spring! How cute are these in blush?

Dr. Scholl's, Madison Memory Foam Slip On, $49

A beautiful sneaker that will go with everything. Jeans, printed crops, you name it.

Nordstrom Rack, UGG Fierce Geo Performance Slip On, $59

I'm obsessed with these sneakers. Highlighter pink and comfort for days.

Nordstrom, Sam Edelman Pixie Slip On, $48

I had to throw in a printed option. So pretty.

Sure it will be sandal season before we know it, but when your pedicure isn't ready, opt for these pretty sneakers.

Capturing My Attention

Call me crazy but I think cap toe is making a comeback. Of course there is the classic Chanel ballet flat.  But the modern cap toe is sleek and it's modern. If that doesn't sell you, it's a comfortable flat, how can you say no to that?

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Gretchen Pointed Toe Flat, $76

Let's just take a moment to breathe in these flats. Pair it with pearls and call it a day.

Topshop, Swift Toe Cap Slipper, $40

This shoe is Pink Ladies meets T Birds and that's fantastic.

Tommy Hilfiger, Pointed Cap Toe Flat, $54

Such a beautiful fall shoe. I love the mix of deep merlot and gray.

Ann Taylor, Ruthie Quilted Leather Cap Toe Flats, $88

Quilted and a patent toe? Sign me up.

Playing with the cap toe trend is so much fun because you can pair a typically 'buttoned up' shoe with bf jeans or suede pants.

This Wine Has Great Legs

Last year we had a lot of variety in the jean category. We saw coated denim, quilted, washed, jegging, and more. This year I think we will be seeing a more colorful look. Deep greens, blues, and even reds. Today we're dipping our toes into the wine pool (best idea ever, right?) and looking at some deep merlot denim.

Mango, Skinny Newpaty Jeans, $39

Talk about a steal. These jeans are the perfect shade of burgundy and I love the look with chambray.

American Eagle, Utility Legging Jean, $44

A great military/cargo pocket makes these perfect for a casual Saturday.

Saks off Fifth, Rag and Bone Skinny Jeans, $89

These designer jeans are 51% off. Such a great deal.

Landsend, Not Too Low Rise Slim Leg Jeans, $69

I used the backside picture for these jeans because I want to change your mind about Landsend. These jeans rule.

A deep burgundy jean is going to be the go to bottom in your closet. It is great with fall colors and it will transition beautifully to winter sweaters.

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!

Denim: A Do

Happy Monday lovebugs,
If you are an east coaster you noticed a distinct fall breeze this weekend. It took me a bit by surprise and I was searching for my jean jacket to layer on top of my outfit. This search was not a good one, not because my closet is a mess (it is) it's because I don't have a jean jacket. I know. So today, let's go shopping.

Levi's, Classic Trucker Jacket, $59

We've got to start with the classic. Levi's. You can't go wrong with this beauty.

Nordstrom, Halogen Denim Jacket, $29

Looking for a faded option? This one is on major sale.

Forever 21, Quilted Denim Boxy Jacket, $39

How about something totally different. Denim and quilted, so unexpected.

JCPenny, Joe Fresh Long Sleeve Denim Jacket, $35

A very chic dark wash that you can wear with a jumpsuit on the weekends or a corduroy skirt.

I really love denim jackets for fall. They are easy, you can throw them in the wash, and they are great for layering. Have fun with a thin fringed scarf or grab some pins and add a quirky twist to your jacket.

Bullseye

Happy Monday lovebugs,
Today I need you to focus. I need you to hone in on one store that is just crushing the handbag game right now. It's Target. I know, right? But seriously, I cannot get enough of these bags right now. Let me explain...

Target, Women's Satchel Handbag, $44

Oh hey there perfection under $50. This color isn't quite winter enough for hunter green but not spring enough for emerald. It's a happy fall medium.

Target, Polka Dot Pattern Satchel, $49

Personally I'd tie a pop of orange or yellow to this bag in the form of a silk scarf. But then again, a simple polka dot is pretty chic for fall.

Target, Quilted Satchel Handbag with Chain Detail, $34

Ladylike, feminine, insert the adjective, it doesn't matter, this bag is gorgeous.

Target, Crossbody Handbag, $26

Very retro for fall which is quite hot right now. I love the mix of colors with the clean lines.

If you haven't been there recently, I suggest you get to your nearest Target asap. These bags and so many more are ready to live in your closet and not break your budget!

Mixed Media Blitz

Let's talk outerwear. We're somewhere near the halfway point of winter and I don't know about you, but my wool coat isn't exciting me anymore. That's why I've been eyeing these mixed media jackets. They are giving my coat closet some energy and still keeping me warm this winter.

Saks Off 5th, Jessica Mixed-Media Motorcycle Jacket, $74

This jacket is almost 70% off right now. I love the tough girl style with the softer quilted sleeves.

Modcloth, Sport Yourself Out Jacket, $20

Speaking of amazing sales, check out this jacket. I love some buffalo plaid and this makes it a little preppy!

Lord and Taylor, Mixed Media Bomber Jacket, $66

Simple details, including the contrasting zipper makes this coat pop.

Macy's, DKNY Jeans Mixed-Media Bomber, $89 $55

I liked this bomber because its not the usual cropped waist. It's a bit more relaxed and casual.

So let's mix up the outerwear conversation and mix in some alternatives. Mixed media coats.

Target (yeah, I know), Colleen Quilted Tall Boot, $29

This isn't brown. This is cordovan. Deep, luxurious chocolate brown. And on sale for under $30? This is a must have.
