About to Blossom

Happy almost Friday lovebugs,
Today I wanted to look at a great fit for dresses and skirts that flatters many women: the tulip. Picture an upside down tulip before it blossoms, a little wider at the top and it gets tighter towards the stem. Same thing goes for the clothing, a gathered effect at the waist with a slimmer hemline at the bottom.

Piperlime, Amanda Uprichard Solid Silk Tulip Skirt, $53

Oh look at this beauty. I love the poppy color because its not as intense as your standard red.

Bluefly, Greylin Cobalt Blue Silk Maggie Dress, $46

This picture doesn't do this color justice. This stunning cobalt in silk is perfect for an evening out.

Modcloth, Tulip to Tango, $35

This skit has the most beautiful pleating that will lay perfectly on any shape.

Anthropologie, Embroidered Tulip Dress, $89

Did I save the best for last? Maybe. The detail on these shoulders makes this LBD stand out in a crowd.

The tulip skirt style is a great option for something bit dressier and perhaps more forgiving.

Tote-ally Colorful

Hey lovebugs,
I think one of the easiest grab and go bags is the tote. It's a throw everything in and then some bag. So if this is our go to, then why shouldn't it be bright? Colorful totes that make us smile.

Macy's, Nine West Can't Stop Shopper Tote, $85

Ooooo girl, when I said bright, I meant bright. Neon! Loving this bag!

Nordstrom, Steve Madden Easy Going Tote, $98

This tote comes in all kinds of colors, but I love the magenta the most. It would be easy to clean with the nylon exterior.

Gap, Flat Leather Tote, $98

Gap got this one right, the leather is so soft, perfect for a grab and go bag.

American Apparel, L'Epicier Leather Bag, $98

100% leather, 100% American made. Boo ya.

Totes don't always have to be black or brown in order to go with everything. Mix it up with an unexpected pop of color!

What's Your Favorite Color?

As you know, I'm not really one for pastels. I prefer more saturated and deep colors. So today I thought we would look at one of my favorites. It's a beautiful shade of pink called fuchsia. It's a gorgeous purple, pink color that I find so easy to wear no matter what the season.

Nordstrom, Vince Camuto Goldie Pump, $88

Hello lover. Look at this beautiful, sleek pump that is perfect for a pencil skirt, a suit, or jeans.

Lulu's, Moves Like Jagger Fuchsia Pink Jeggings, $42

These look so comfortable. Well, not the heels, but you could add anything you wanted to these pants: pumps, flats, Jack Purcell sneakers. 

Piperlime, Tinley Road Classic Claudine Coat, $34

A bit more muted which is what you want for a coat. I just love the length, I might add a skinny belt to dress it up.

BaubleBar, Pink Mondorian Drops, $22

These art deco inspired earrings are perfect for a larger stud!

What is your favorite color to wear? Fuchsia for me is so versatile and eye catching, I just love it.
