Pattern Purse

Yesterday we looked at some great red clutches, today let's stay with the purse topic and look at some great patterned bags!

Gap, Ikat Canvas Tote, $44

Loving the double strap on this tote. And the color and pattern combination is very casual and chic.

Last Call Neiman Marcus, Turn-lock cross body sequin bag, $80

So many great things going on here, sequins, color, pattern, hardware. Great little bag for the weekend.

Macy's, Red by Marc Eko Handbag Wound Up Tote, $49

A mutli color chevron tote! How great for spring?

Nordstrom, Tasha Caged Minaudière, $88

This clutch is downright tropical but in a great dressy way. The bamboo inspired closure is a great added detail.

Pattern is always fun to wear, especially when its with an accessory like a bag or scarf.

Ruffles and Flowers

Hey lovebugs! Happy hump day! We're getting there!

I love a great girly clutch and today we're looking a great red clutches with some extra flare. These bags have fantastic ruffle details that add an extra bit of interest to an otherwise small piece.

Nordstrom, Sandra Roberts Rose Clutch, $98

I'm obsessed with this bag. It's a great night out bag and the color options to choose from are endless.

Nordstrom, Ruffle Chiffon Frame Clutch, $78

These great petals remind me of the cherry blossom petals here in DC. The bow is a great touch.

Franchi, Taylor Red, $90

I really like the square look of this clutch and gold touches are really special.

Endless, La Regale 24997 Clutch, $75
This clutch reminds me of the bottom of a great skirt. This playful layering of fabric is fun and flippy.

Sometimes a sleek patent leather clutch is what an outfit calls for; but sometimes go for something a little more whimsical.

Drop It Like it's Hot

The drop waist trend seems like it's everywhere right now; but how do you wear when you're not walking the red carpet? Let's look at some great options for right now when E! isn't knocking on your door.

Macy's, Nine West Dress, $67

I love the change in stripe direction on the waist and the short sleeves. I'd add a neon bauble necklace for a great pop of color.

Alice and Olivia, Stapen Drop Waist Tunic Dress, $78

Anyone else think this model looks like she's about to be attacked? Just me? Ok. Let's look past that. Great jersey material dress that's just screaming for sky high heels and a night out.

Modcloth, To Peach Her Own Dress, $87

Stay with me on this one; I'd unbutton at least four buttons and wear a great detailed lace cami underneath to break up the color. Maybe a straw floppy "Kentucky Derby-esque" hat.

Anthropologie, Marian Flapper Chemise, $34

A simple chic silk shift. Fantastic color.

I think the biggest advice to wearing a drop waist dress is trying it on first. Each dart and line runs differently and you really need to see it on and not online to decide if its right for you.

Silver and Black

Happy Monday lovebugs,
We're back from another weekend and back to the grind. How was your weekend? I had a great brunch with Nikki, Rosa and Sarah yesterday, it's always great to get some inspiration from fellow bloggers.

Today I thought we would look at a great trend in watches: black and silver. It's so chic and easy to pair with any outfit.

 Nordstom, Timex Easy Reader Leather Watch, $65

So masculine, I would layer on a ton of bangles and maybe even a charm bracelet.

Fossil, Sydney mini face watch, $95

A great stainless steel watch is softened by a great circular face.

Asos, Watch with double dial, $53

Simple, chic and minimalist. Very professional.

Lord and Taylor, Jolie silverstone square watch, $45

I love the industrial look of this watch. And the price is just right.

It seems like every designer is coming out with their own watch line these days- what are you going to be wearing?

Be fabulous today!
