Say My Name

Happy almost Friday lovebugs,
Today we're looking at monogram rings. Monograms are a great gift for the holidays, and I think a ring is a small and simple way to show your personalized piece.

Personalized From Me to You, Silver Monogram Ring Round, $59

Simple, great edges, something any girl would love.

DKM Accessories, Monogram Enamel Stretch Ring, $34

How preppy and fantastic is this ring? It also comes in two other colors.

JL by Janet Leigh, Personalized Custom Initial Letter Ring, $30

Delicate, simple, and a little rustic!

Emily Rose Jewelry, Monogram Sterling Silver Braided Ring, $59

The braid makes this piece look antique. 

Whether it's a gift for someone else or yourself, a simple monogram ring is a simple piece that will go with everything.

Happy Stripes

Today's post is courtesy of The bf. He suggested a post on wide stripes. So let's go with it. A pattern that is strong yet casual.

Gap, Happy Stripe Crew Sweater, $49

Do you know why I love this sweater? Because it has the word 'happy' in it. And that is the perfect way to describe this sweater.

White House Black Market, Striped Peplum Pullover, $39

Marked down from $80, this quiet peplum shirt is perfect for work or play.

Dillard's, Jessica Howard Striped Shift, $31

How cute is this little shift? With or without tights, I'd add a neon skinny belt and walk out the door!

Loft, Cotton Wide Stripe Sweater Blazer, $74

I like this blazer because it's not a stiff and stuffy. A great sweater type blazer that is great to pair with jeans or an LBD.

I think The bf nailed this one. Wide stripes are fun, versatile, and as Gap puts it, happy.

Be fabulous today.

Power Flats

You all know I love a great flat. And there are so many types of flats, ballet flats, mary jane flats, dainty flats, but today we're looking at what I'm calling power flats. The 'I mean business flat'.

DSW, C Label Hudson, $34

A slight metallic hue to the deep red paired with some studs. Heck yes.

Nordstrom, Classiques Entier Elina, $77

A cap toe metal? Don't mind if I do. Why yes, I will be owning this business meeting today.

Zara, Studded Slipper, $49

Sleek, a little masculine, but a lot powerful.

Nordstrom, Ivanka Trump Abello, $80

These are my perfect understated but, holy cow these are perfect, flats. A pointy toe, bow, in a perfect black.

So there you have it. Flats don't always have to be sweet and dainty, and pumps don't always have to be the power shoe. Swap out heels for some strong flats. Your feet will thank you.

Be fabulous today!

Hike Up That Waist

Hey lovebugs,
Whether you are still in bed enjoying a day off or back to the grind of the 9-5, I hope you had a wonderful weekend. DC had some stunning weather.

Today we're looking at a really lady like trend that will look great on anyone. The high waisted dress.

Modcloth, Office Orientation in Cobalt, $54

A beautiful brunch with the parents, work, or day party dress in a saturated blue.

Dillard's, Ralph Lauren Metallic Gathered Dress, $96

A very classy deep v-neck makes this dress just perfect for holiday parties.

Lord and Taylor, Muse Colorblock Dress, $52

I really love this dress with some big drop earrings and black tights with sky high pumps.

Urban Outfitters, Cooperative Scalloped Peplum Dress, $69

How gorgeous is this dress? a tiered scallop with a lace peek-a-boo, and a well defined waistband.

High waist dresses are perfect for elongating the torso and legs. I love the definition that they give an ensemble vs a tunic or blousey style.

Be fabulous today!
