Don't Get Your Feathers Ruffled

Sometimes all a girl needs a little ruffle. Let's look at some ruffle collar pieces that are sure to add some feminine flair to your closet.

Modcloth, Great Minds Pink Alike, $49
I love the color of this dress because it's not a pastel pink. The slight asymmetrical hem is eye catching as well.

White House Black Market, Ecru Organza Halter, $49
This is a must have for a woman who has the occasional nice dinner or gala. So easy.

A go to dress for work with a blazer or cardigan, or dress it up with some strappy sandals and drop earrings.

J Crew Factory, Cotton Ruffle Dress, $54
Often a ruffle collar can be closed off for a neckline, this offers a beautiful variation to show off some collarbone.

A ruffle collar may sound very sweet, but depending on your accessories, I think you can style it to make it your own.

Birthday Chic

Hey lovebugs,
It's my birthday. So I'm going to be a little selfish today and pick out a great birthday party outfit. Thank you for reading, it's a pretty awesome birthday gift.

Sequin baroque, the perfect amount of bling.

Could I walk in these? Nope. Can a birthday girl dream? Absolutely.


See how the rounded edges in the baroque pattern compliment the oval earring?

Dillard's, J Renee Bloom Bag, $99
Pleated satin and a great take on the envelope style.

What do you think? Birthday-chic?

Ease Into Mod

Mod is going to be huge this year and we'll be talking about it a lot, but let's ease into with some graphic black and white. A great pattern in a strong black and white is a great statement that will never go out of style.

Bloomingdale's, Aqua Dress Art Deco Sequin, $76
How about this beautiful dress? It is so easy to dress up or down with the shoes and jewelry. I just think the it's so interesting that the graphic is made up of sequins. Very unique.

White House Black Market, Perfect Form Geo Print City Pant, $84
Before you brush off these bold crops, know that there is 3% spandex in them. That's the perfect amount to make these wearable for just about any size. 

Piperlime, BB Dakota Alven Coat, $57
I love the foldover shawl collar on this coat, it's a great option for right now when you don't need a down coat but it's not quiet spring jacket weather.

This is not what I think of when I hear lace, which is why I love it for work or even for a wedding!

A great black and white pattern that is past a standard dot or stripe is just what I need right now.

Not Your Gramma's Knit

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I just returned from Miami on a business trip and I'm feeling warm and girly. Now I know it's not officially spring just yet, but check out these knit dresses that offer a little something extra, some pleating!

Old Navy, Crepe Dress, $22
A fantastically built dress that is so simple and easy. A great cap sleeve, modified boatneck, strong natural waistband and pleating. I just love this!

A great stripe for everyday. I love this deep vneck. The pleating gives this dress great movement. 

Banana Republic, Heritage Pleated Knit Dress, $44
A very sophisticated dress for work or play. You could also layer a white oxford underneath.

Forever 21, Striped Shift Dress, $15
This look very comfortable, and it is a one piece and done outfit. Sure you could add a skinny belt, but why bother, let the dress do the work for you.

A pleated knit dress is a great way to give a bit of structure to a machine-washable and comfy dress. Use the pleats to give some dimension to the skirt of the dress.
