Howdy Ombre

The ombre trend has hit every bit of our lives this year; from the ombre pillow to the ombre nail, it's a staple. Let's look at some great ombre trends under $100.

Asos, French Connection Dip Dyed Cotton Dress, $74

I really like the casualness of this dress, it's almost got a chambray feel to it.

Lord and Taylor, Rich and Skinny Dip Dye Cut Off Shorts, $49

Ok my brave ones, my girls who have been working it at the gym all summer, wear these loud and proud.

Nordstrom, Rio Carnival Kite Scarf, $38

The tassels on this scarf really make it. Just gorgeous and fun.

TopShop, Pink Ombre Skater Skirt, $36

There is nothing skater about this skirt, if anything it's ballerina.

What type of ombre have you tried? I love the ombre nail look but man does it look complicated! I think I'll stick to fashion.

Not a Curtain

Hey lovebugs,
I'm back from my very well rested vacation in New Hampshire. I hope you enjoyed the fabulous bloggers who were nice enough to fill in for me while I was away. Today we're getting right back into it and looking a great style of dress that flatters any shape or size, the drape.

Nordstrom, Max & Cleo Lylia, $75

What a stunner this dress is. I'm thinking about getting it for a September wedding.

Macy's, DKNYC One Shoulder Dress, $29

A great priced dress for a Saturday night out with the girls. I'd add some silver earrings and go!

Elie Tahari, Christie Draped Jersey Dress, $62

I'm sorry an Elie Tahari for $62? Just say yes.

Banana Republic, Cowlneck matte jersey dress, $98

I would feel like one hot Barbie in this number.

A dress with some draping can be really beautiful when it lays correctly. For taller, thinner women try the draping tighter to the waistline, for those of us trying to conceal something a loser drape that cascades is the best bet.

Be fabulous today!

Guest Post: A Lacey Perspective

And our last fabulous blogger for a week of guest posts; please enjoy a peek inside Lacey's beach bag!

 

I never go to the pool/beach without my favorite panama hat, bright cover-up, sunnies, sunscreen or a good read. 

 

 If anyone is curious about the book above, I would call it entertaining but not well written.

Guest Post: So Much to Smile About

Hi Capital readers! Liz here from So Much to Smile About. I’m so happy to be helping Kelsey out with a guest post today, and am super excited that she was wondering what is in my beach bag! I love summer and heading to the beach whenever possible (and you’ll find me at the pool when it’s not), so this was the perfect post for me. 

In addition to a cool drink and some good reading material, the most important things I pack are the swimsuit, towel and sunglasses (of course). My favorite swimsuit these days is this one from Old Navy – I wear it all the time. Also, I recently found this beach towel from Bloomingdales and need to make it mine. It’s a reprint from a Conde Nast magazine (and it’s on sale)! And my go-to sunglasses will always be Ray-Bans, either these aviators or the classic wayfarers. Finally, you can’t forget some sunblock (this Clinique City Block is perfect for my face), a fun hat, these sandals and some Bumble and Bumble surf spray to keep my hair looking beach-y perfect. When I’m all situated, I just put in my headphones and listen to some tunes (you can find my summer playlist here). Now, get me to the beach!
