Chi-don't you know?

One of my favorite styles of pant is the chino. It's clean and simple, easy to care for and you can wear it with anything. Let's look at some good standards to add to your wardrobe.

Lands End Canvas, True Slim Chino, $59

You really can't beat the price with such a vibrant color. 

Loft, Girlfriend Chino, $59

A gf chino? It's got the relaxed leg but more fitted through the hip. 

J Crew, Waverly Chino, $79

A good standard from J Crew, they do the chino very well.

Gap, Broken in straight khakis, $49

These come in a rainbow of colors but I'm loving the oxblood.

Machine washable, plenty of colors, and plenty of styles. The chino is a great investment piece that won't break the bank.

Maximum Sleeves

We all know and love maxis, they're comfy, versatile and they've been a huge trend this summer. So how do we fall-ify them? Simple, just change the material to something a little heavier and add some sleeves. Let your accessories do the rest.

Piperlime, Pim + Larkin Rugby Stripe Sweater Maxi, $79

A peek a boo leg slit is the perfect surprise to this simple sweater dress.

Old Navy, Belted Jersey Maxi, $25

The dolman sleeves dress up this otherwise simple dress. There is so much you can do to accessorize: jewelry, denim jacket, switch out the belt, the list goes on.

Bon Ton, Calvin Klein Variegated Stripe Maxi, $68

This scoop neck is a great contrast to the horizontal stripes. I'm liking the braided belt as well.

Nordstrom, Ruched Maxi Dress, $88

A beautiful emerald color makes this dress look like a tall drink of water.

Maxis aren't going anywhere with the weather changing, change up the layers and the accessories and you keep the look.

Round Em Up

The lariat style is a bit of a throw back. It's an interesting necklace style that makes you stand out rather than just a long strand necklace. You can find them with jewels, bling, or just plain metal. So let's get a little retro and take a look at these lassos.

Shopbob, Gorjana Cross Lariat Necklace, $70

I started with this necklace because it is so delicate and simple. Clean lines and nothing too busy.

Boticca, Weather the Storm Necklace, $74

This necklace is adorable, a storm cloud and lightning bolt. Come on.

Zappos, My Flat in London Miss Socialite, $44

A great key emblem with Swarovski crystal accents make this dressy but not blingy.

Max and Chloe, Bee Charming Outer Space Zipper Lariat, $30

I saved my favorite for last. An astronaut, alien, and flying saucer. LOVE THIS.

The lariat style came from the cowboys, it's a style of lasso. Now it's a great way to mix up your standard strand.

Laced Up and Ready to Go

Hey there lovebugs,
Let's get a little sassy on this Monday. Something a bit edgy, a bit daring, a bit awesome. Let's look at some lace up heeled sandals. They're eye catching and sexy, and they're perfect for transitioning to cooler nights.

Express, Cut out lace up heeled sandal, $88

I would pair these with bf jeans, a sleeveless blouse and a killer pedicure.

Macy's, Material Girl Shoes Racie Sandal, $39

A great sale price for these patent leather spikes.

Mia2, Elaine Sandal, $26

I really like the cut out pattern on these sandals, and the style reminds me of a modified mary jane.

Express, Heeled Ghillie Sandal, $98

One review described these as "comfortable". I know. I think it's the padded sole and 1/2 platform.

These lace up heels are perfect for the end of summer nights. Pick a color, pick a style, stand up straight and get your strut on.
