Structurally Striped

First and foremost today I have to say Happy Birthday Mom. She is an awesome mom you guys, like you don't even know. She is such an amazing woman. I really do not know she does it. Love you mom.

OK, today we're talking stripes, but not just any stripes. Peplum stripes. Stay with me now.

Loft, Striped Peplum Hem Short Sleeve Sweater, $44

I love this top because its a thicker knit then a tee, and it comes in three other colors. 

Nordstrom, Bobeau Peplum Striped Skirt, $38

This is the opposite of your standard work skirt. This is how you walk into an important meeting.

JCPenny, Worthington Peplum Top, $18

So often the strip is a two-tone pattern. this mix of colors is perfect for a peplum.

C Wonder, Boatneck Stretch Cotton Peplum Top, $58

Do you want to be as happy as this model in sunglasses? Look how happy she is! This top is happiness. The 3/4 sleeve is perfect for spring.

A stripe peplum is a great top because it can be paired with bottoms you already have. A black pencil, bf jeans, you name it.

Simple and Sweet

Happy humpday guys,
Today I thought we would look at something simple and feminine, a light yet meaningful ring. This type of ring can take on so many forms, you can find something with a message that is special to you, or maybe your birthstone, or another simple symbol. Whatever it is, you're bound to find it right now, because these light, stackable rings are everywhere.

Dogeared, Infinity Ring, $34

I like to describe this ring as quiet. It demands no attention but it clearly has some meaning.

Madewell, Pave Chevron ring, $15

Just the ring amount of bling for this structurally interesting ring.

J Crew, Stackable Enamel Ring, $38

This chartreuse kind of citrus green is so beautiful.

Etsy, Bezel Set Rose Quartz Cabochon Skinny Sterling Silver Ring, $40

If you're looking for a ring that is unique and probably one of a kind, Etsy is the place to go. These artisans make gorgeous and affordable pieces for any style.

These sweet and simple rings are just perfect to mix into any wardrobe and any style.

Thin Mints

I did very well this year guys, really well. I successfully avoided the Girl Scout cookie invasion. I know. Round of applause for those who have not eaten a thin mint this year. Oh thin mints, those delicious chocolate circles of heaven, how can I even begin to try to replace them? Let's think of something else minty...gum, ice cream, shoes. Ah yes, mint shoes.

Nordstrom, Chinese Laundry Danger Zone Pump, $89

Oh these are amazing, a metallic cap top mint pump. Sorry Girl Scouts, you're not selling anything like these.

DSW, Enzo Angiolini Brandil Flat, $84

Check out the embellishment on these beauties. They remind me of a princess slipper.

Franco Sarto, Maren, $85

This silver mint colorblock is perfect with a new pedi.

C Wonder, Metallic Cap Toe Ballet Flats, $98

There is absolutely nothing wrong with these ballet flats. They are everything you could want in a simple skimmer.

Minty things don't always have to add pounds to your waistline. Try mint shoes this season as an excuse to not earn another 'I ate an entire sleeve of thin mints' badge on your vest. Don't judge, we've all been there.

Metallica

Happy Monday lovebugs,
Right now I am on a plane to Miami for a work conference. Don't be too jealous, I won't see the light of day, but that being said I've never been to Miami, so maybe I'll get lucky and see some sand. Today I wanted to look at metal plate belts. I find they have a great edginess to them that your everyday belt just doesn't provide.

Asos, Metal Plate Bow Belt, $26

This belt reminds me of the Jetson's, but in a how fabulous would this look with an LBD kind of way.

White House Black Market, Metallic Crystal Watchband Belt, $58

To me this has a Wall Street vibe to it that is just perfect with a skirt suit or maybe a peplum top.

Nordstrom, Cara Woven Chain Stretch Belt, $52

I love the intricacy of this belt! It's like another piece of jewelry!

Charlotte Russe, Metallic Plate Studded Skinny Belt, $5

Well you can't beat the price, that's for sure. It's not metal all the way around but I love this pop of orange!

Metal plated belts are such a great accessory because they make a great statement piece. Any belt is easy to add to an outfit, but a metal belt demands attention.
