Striking Stripes

Alright, we've focused on accessories this week, so let's bring it back to the clothes. I love a great cardigan, especially this time of year when layering is key in between seasons. We've looked at sheer cardis, patterned cardis, today let's look at striped cardigans.

J Crew, Stripe Gauze Sweater, $59

I love the pops of lime in this sweater. You can also choose from red/navy or pink/white.

The Limited, Striped Pocket Cardigan, $24

This is just waiting for some colorful accessories. Maybe a tangerine lip?! 

Loft, Striped Sheer Open Cardigan, $49

This is great for weekends or for travel. I love the pops of yellow.

Madewell, Striped Poppy Cardigan, $72

Madewell got it right here, leave this cardi open to show the pop of pink. A great vneck is great to leave a cardigan open as well.

Striped cardigans are a great and easy way to mix pattern into your outfit, and they're never going out of style. You can also layer these cardigans on top of a solid dress.

Nuts and Bolts

Hey lovebugs,
We're sticking with the accessories today and getting a little manly. Nuts, bolts, and screws. Stay with me. Let's make them look chic.

Dorothy Perkins, Bolts on Mesh Necklace, $15

These bolt-style beads are great because they mix gold and silver, making it easy to match with everything.

Neiman Marcus, Marc Jacobs Bolt Friendship Bracelet, $38

A grown up friendship bracelet that comes in a variety of neon colors.

Topshop, Nuts and Bolts Bracelet, $20

This bracelet is so funky. It reminds me of some awesome badass girl who took shop class in high school.

C Wonder, Screw Stud Friendship Bracelet, $38

This is how you do nuts and bolts in a girly way. I love the mixed materials used on this bracelet!

See? We can steal from the boys: bf jeans, bf oxford, and now some awesome jewelry.

Hands Are Tied

I'm a sucker for bows. Always have been, always will be. I like them on clothes, shoes, bags, you name it. But today we're looking at bows on bracelets.

Kate Spade, Skinny mini bow bracelet, $78

Of course when we talk about bows, we have to start off with the girl herself, Miss Kate Spade.

Nordstrom, Cara Bow Bracelet, $38

This is so much fun and so different. I would layer this with a gold watch and bangle.

Saks Fifth Avenue, Marc Jacobs Tiny Bow Bangle, $58

The nice thing about this bangle is that you don't have to bruise your wrist trying to slide it on. This one has a hook and hinge closure.

Dillard's, Bow Leather Bracelet, $20

Leather and bows. Now we're talking ladies. And it comes in four colors.

So how are you wearing bows lately? Simple and sweet or bigger and bolder? Try out these bracelets with your next arm party.

Compact Safari

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I spent mine at home for the Easter holiday. Such a great time to recharge.

Today I thought we would look at an easy, goes-with-everything clutch. I'm talking about leopard. It doesn't always have to be Jessica Rabbit sexy when it comes to leopard, let's look at some affordable options.

Asos, Aldo Mendola Leopard Clutch, $42

This is so chic. I love the hard lines matched with the shiny patent leather.

Kohl's, Jennifer Lopez Kristin Faux-Fur Leopard Hard Case, $13 (!!)

Way to go J Lo. Clearly you are still looking out for us girls from the block with this price point.

French Connection, Disco Leopard Clutch, $39

Hey girl hey!!!!! Are we ready to get on that dance floor?

White House Black Market, Haircalf Clutch, $31

I really love this with an LBD because its very understated while still memorable.

A small leopard clutch is a beautiful and easy way to add interest to your outfit. Simple, compact, and goes with everything.
