Shall we Crochet?

I haven't fully gotten on board with the all over crochet look, but I am liking smaller details of it found on pieces.  The trend is nice for summer because the crochet pattern and texture is very breathable.  What do you think of some of these?

Macy's, Sleeveless crochet collar tank, $12

You certainly can't beat the price.  I would pair this with some green shorts.

Forever 21, Chiffon and Crochet Tank, $23

Now this is classy.  I like the modified v-neck and the uneven hemline.

Dillards, Sangria Sleeveless Crochet Neckline Dress, $50

I really like the gathered skirt on this dress, makes it a bit dressier.

French Connection, Daisy Doile Mini Skirt, $90

Talk about the perfect warm weather navy skirt.  This is divine.  I love the waistband detail as well.

How are you wearing the crochet trend? I must confess, I don't own any pieces yet but I really like the idea of them for summer.

Ruffled Up!

You all know I have a sweet spot for all things ruffle, and today I found a more subtle way to incorporate it into your wardrobe.  A ruffle sleeve is a more discreet way to add some detail without feeling super-girly.

Asos, French Connection Ruffle Sleeve Tee, $28

This top is perfect for summer.  I really like the variation of the stripe direction on the sleeve.

Kohl's LC Lauren Conrad Ruffle Chiffon top, $23

You know, I'm happy the Hills is over because that LC can really dress a woman.  I love this top! And it comes in four other colors.

Forever 21, Ruffle Sleeve Open Knit Dress, $28

A fun take on the crochet knit trend.  The tiered ruffle makes a statement.

Neiman Marcus, Ali Ro Flutter Sleeve Dress, $94

I want to wear this now with metallic heeled sandals and then in the fall for an evening out with black tights.

A ruffle sleeve is a little less in your face than an all over ruffle, but I think it adds a nice touch of femininity to any outfit.

Navy and Silver

Hey lovebugs!
Today I wanted to talk about a color combination that I think is perfect for this heat wave: navy and silver.  This color combo is crisp and makes a statement and in this heat, and sometimes you need a little extra oomph to make that happen in this weather!

Nordstrom, Pleione Tie Neck Smock, $53

Hello elegance.  I love the sleeves on this tunic, I would pair it with earrings like these...

Stella and Dot, Signature Clover Chandelier Earrings, $49

These are so gorgeous.  Not too chunky and just the right about of bling.

 

Macy's, DKNY Sleeveless tuxedo dress, $79

I really like the pewter/silver color of this dress, I would pair it with these shoes...

Free People, Matisse Bows and Arrows Sandals, $58

These are so simple and no nonsense.  I would love these for weekends.

Modcloth, Midnight sun dress, $43

You really can't find this kind of beauty for under $50.  This is perfect for wedding season.  I'd pair it with these shoes...

J Crew, Nicola platform heel, $52

I love the idea of a sweet dress with a side of 'hell yeah she's working those heels!'

So what do you think of this color combination? I think it's so fresh and clean even for being a darker tone.

Nail Polish Inspired Post!

Hi there lovebugs. Happy Monday to you.  I hope you had a great weekend, and I hope you stayed cool!

Today I thought we would do a nail polish inspired post because they're so much fun.  Today's color is from the OPI Pirates of the Carribbean line: Mermaid Tears.

Anthropologie, Druzy wrap bracelet, $30

I love the ease of this piece.  It's got an airy feel to it.

Ann Taylor, Crossover Front Top, $44

I adore the detailing on this top. And it will be perfect for fall with a cardigan.

Modcloth, Juice Bar Sunglasses, $12

How much fun are these? I love this with pink lips!

Urban Outfitters, Kimichi Laser cut skimmers, $34

I'm picturing these with white skinny jeans and a hot pink pedicure.

What do you think of the color? I really like it for summer, it's such a departure from the neons or pinks.  It reminds me of vacation!
