P Squared

Yesterday was S cubed, today is P squared: printed peplum. We ALL know peplum is huge right now, for just about everything, jackets, skirts, dresses and tops. Today I want to look at some printed peplum tops.

Nordstrom, Print Stretch Silk Blouse, $81
A pretty dot print that is perfect for 9-5.

A cheeky little print with a great peachy color.

Modcloth, Rosette for Life Top, $39
Leave it to Modcloth to make a beautiful sheer tie blouse in peplum.

Dorothy Perkins, Ivory Spotty Peplum Top, $39
I'm a sucker for dots, and the darting on this shirt is just adorable.

You can do peplum so many ways, neon, color block, solid, you name it. How about a print with your peplum?

S Cubed

Hey lovebugs,
Happy humpday, we're getting there. And it's going to be a long weekend, so just hang in there!

Today we're looking at short-sleeve sheer sweaters, in particular, cardigans. They're a great transition piece for summer into fall when you want to add a super light layer to an outfit.

A beautiful color and very easy to belt to define a waist.

A preppy sort of sheer. The dolman sleeve is also a great detail to add to this cardi.

Lord and Taylor, J Jones Open Weave Knit Cardigan, $21
Love this open weave knit! So simple and delicate. And the price is spot on.

A pretty v-neck style, makes this the perfect late September cardigan.

Short sleeve cardigans are so easy to mix into your wardrobe, but the open knit, or gauze style is even easier to wear when it's still warm out.

Don't Cry!

I usually wear a simple stud for earrings but when I'm playing dress up or adding some sparkle to a work outfit, I love adding a teardrop earring. There is something very delicate yet classy about the shape and size.

Nordstrom, Kate Spade Paisley Park, $51
You know I gotta post some Kate when we're looking at beautiful accessories. I love these dressed up or down.

These remind me of an Amrita Singh piece but much more bang for your buck!

Forever 21, Crochet Teardrop Earring, $5
How cute are these? I'd pair these with bf jeans and a plain tee for the weekend.

These beauties would be perfect for an evening dinner date. They would capture the light and add just the perfect amount of sparkle to the face.

While stud earrings are usually my go to, I love the easy and fancy feel of the teardrop earring.

Not Your Average LBD

Hey lovebugs,
Happy Monday! I hope you had a lovely weekend. I met up with Rosa and Sara for brunch on Sunday, alway fun to hang out with those ladies.

Today I thought we would look at some LBDs. But not what you're thinking. Today we're talking a little blue dress. The perfect alternative to a standard black cocktail or wear to work dress.


A beautiful deep blue with a great side waist belt that will flatter any shape. I also love this dress because you can pair it with ANY shoe.

A great price for a Suzi Chin dress. This dress is almost sculptural. I love it.

Shabby Apple, I'm Late! I'm Late!, $94
While I'm not sure how this woman ended up in the middle of the enchanted forest with a tea cup, I love this boatneck and lace sleeved dress!

That's right Old Navy. This expensive looking sweater dress, is just screaming for some neon accessories. 

The little blue dress is a great option for fall. It's an unexpected change for work or for a night out.
