Feeling Flowy

Maybe spring is really in the air or I'm just feeling pent up in my sweaters lately.  I am just loving the flowy blouses that are out right now!  What are you craving for spring?

Ann Taylor, Washed silk camp shirt, $53 with code TAKE40
This shirt is just beautiful.  It comes a a handful of soft colors too.

Modcloth, No more no less top, $38
Ruffles=spring.  This blouse is adorable.  I'm thinking boyfriend jeans.  

The colors here are like a watercolor painting and the tie is such a fantastic detail.

I like this top because of the cap sleeves which makes it work appropriate without layering on a cardi.

Those are some of my picks.  I just love the feeling of something silky and flowy right now.  Bring on those May flowers!

Be fabulous today!

The Doctor Is In

Purses are essential.  Some women have one go-to, some women have hundreds.  I would say I'm on the lower end of that spectrum around a couple dozen, but I'm sure The BF would beg to differ as we do share a closet!

One purse style that is a great one to own as a standard bag or to add to your collection is the doctor bag.  It's roomy, lots of pockets, and just the right amount of hardware.

Limited, Exotic doctors bag, $70
This chic little number goes with black or brown and the faux-croc pattern really makes it pop.

Urban Outfitters, Kimichi blue straw bag, $58
I really like this texture for spring and the double handle is a great option too!

I really like the masculine quality of this bag.  I'd pair it with neon or something bold.

What do you think? Would this be your go-to bag?  I really think they're easy and quick when you're running out the door.

Easter Dresses!

Lovebugs, Easter is this weekend.  Remember when it was just Christmas? Wild. Ok, everyone celebrates this holiday differently but one trend is pretty standard in most households: the Easter dress.  Something floral, maybe something pastel, overall it is the outfit that sets the tone for your warm weather wardrobe.  No pressure.

Here are some of my ideas for a great Easter dress.

Modcloth, ready for ranuculus, $53
I love this cheery print and the neckline is so beautiful.


I am in love with the colors here.  Just gorgeous.

This is very dramatic and trendy. I really love the light color- I would wear pearls with it.

LL bean, Kennebunkport dress, $49
You will be hard-pressed to find a seersucker sheath this cheap.  Add a pink skinny belt to define the waist.


As you can tell I'm all for pinks, yellows, and girly things when picking out an Easter dress.  It's the only holiday when going overboard with ruffles, lace, and even a matching hat is ok!

Be fabulous today!

Angle to the Right

Oh Mondays.  So lame.  I hope you had a good weekend though!

Today I thought we'd jump right into some jewelry.  I was grabbed by a new style I saw in one of my magazines over the weekend.  Angular jewelry.  Gives the accessory some edge!

J Crew, Hazel bracelet, $40
The brass in combination with the bling is so opposing, but it works!

I'm loving the symmetry but also the sharp lines of these earrings.  For me it's like art meets an Excel doc.

Urban Outfitters, UO Geometric necklace, $29
Sharp edges really give definition to this piece.  Subtle, yet statement.

Kenneth Cole, Pyramid Bangle, $32
Kind of industrial no? I like these with a suit!

What do you think? Do you prefer the rounded edge and more feminine jewelry?  I think these are great to mix in when you're in ruffles and silk.  Have fun with it!
