Silk Shirtdress

Hello lovebugs!

I'm absolutely loving silk this spring. It's easy to wear and comes in so many colors. Right now I'm loving silk shirtdresses. They are casual and cool and so chic.

Anthropologie, Mod Garden Dress, $99
Who doesn't love this great graphic print. The colors are just stunning. I'm personally picturing my good friend, LPU rocking this dress with some pointy toe shoes.

This dress is screaming for accessories! Belt it, add a long tassel necklace and add  great bag!

Modcloth, Beach Club Dress, $74
The pastel colors are just beautiful on this dress, I also love the pleating on the skirt.

Collective Concepts, Multi Stripe Shirt Dress, $79
Prefer some darker stripes? How about this fantastic number? 

Silk is so perfect for a hot climate and something like a shirtdress is so easy to throw on and walk out the door!

Green with Envy

 Green is one of my favorite colors. A great, rich, saturated green just draws you in; especially when it's near your face. Today, we're looking at emerald, jade, and other green earrings.

Kate Spade, Crystal Cort, $68
(In my very best Carrie Bradshaw voice) Hello lover.  Oh my word look at these beauties. Simple, sleek, elegant.

Neiman Marcus, Lisa Freede Teardrop Earrings, $60
These would look smokin' with some skinny jeans and a silky blouse.

Amanda Rudey, Rock candy jawbreaker earrings, $70
Chunky, funky and perfect for dinner with the girls.

These are so delicate and beautiful. I would pair this would a cobalt dress for summer.

I usually mix colors in my jewelry into my necklaces, but why not earrings? Stud, dangles, you name it, so many styles and so many colors to mix and match.

Pattern Pencils

I love to wear a pencil skirt to work because it comes in so many colors and you can match with essentially anything. Right now, patterned pencil skirts are very popular and just like patterned shorts and crop pants, this is going to be huge.

Ann Taylor, Caliente Muses Print, $88
Does this skirt scream spring or what? I would love to add an unexpected color on top like a silk khaki colored shirt or maybe a nice jewel tone.

Target, Gray print skirt, $18
Who doesn't need a ready to wear to work pencil skirt for UNDER $20?

The mix of pink and orange petals is just beautiful in this micro-print.

Banana Republic, animal print pencil skirt, $69
I love the big print on this skirt, it's graphic and fun and great to spice up your 9 to 5.


Are you wearing brights, patterns or both this spring? How do you style your pencil skirt?

Reader Request: Destination Wedding

Hi lovebugs!

How was your weekend? Did you hit any great sales? I stopped by Macy's on Thursday and got a couple of great Ellen Tracy pieces.

Today we're looking at a reader request from one of my friends, Stephanie. She is going to a destination wedding (yes, I know, we hate her) and she is looking for a dress to go from day to night and it has to have color. Here's what we came up with.

J Crew, Leona, $89
What a great color for a wedding, the light and breezy feel to this dress is perfect for a day wedding and add some bling and heels for night.

Modcloth, Sunset Seeker Dress, $99
A little drama, a little sexy and a whole lotta tangerine!

Zara, open back dress, $59
A very interesting print and cut. This dress is just dying for a photo op.

...and drumroll please...the winner is...
This dress hit all of Stephanie's must have items: color, dance-able, and day to night.

Are you hitting one or 16 weddings this season? What will you be wearing?

Be fabulous today!
