A Little Extra on Top

Hey lovebugs,
For me, details make or break an outfit. The smaller tweaks are what make sure you're remembered. One trend that I'm really loving that embraces this sentiment is the embellished collar. This probably won't be the last time we look at this trend this season. It's a good one for any women because there are so many options.

Nordstrom, Embellished Collar Silk Top, $44

A great minty color in a breezy silk makes this top great to stand alone or to layer with a blazer.

Wallis, Grey Embellished Collar Jumper, $49

I may need this in my closet. This is the perfect standard gray sweater with a little extra umph.

Asos, Darling Pleated Top with Lace Collar, $55

There is so much you can do with this top. Leather pants, a pencil skirt, skinny jeans. The details are lovely.

Topshop, Bead Collar Swing Top, $56

There is something so playful about a swing top. I'd add a emerald cardigan and leopard skinny belt to this top.

There is something so understated but so noticeable about the embellished collar. It shows that extra effort that you put into your outfit.

See Right Through You

Alright let's get a little sassy on this hump day. I'm thinking sheer. I love a beautiful sheer blouse for the end of summer/early fall because it's professional but also weather appropriate.

Zara, Long Sleeve Blouse, $59

Simple navy and red is a great combination for this pin point dot print. 

Modcloth, Love Ballad Tunic, $37

This sweet blouse is easily dressed up or down. I love the tunic button style and the tab sleeves.

Nordstrom, Lush Chiffon Baseball Tee, $34

I kind of love this shirt. It's a great laid back top for Saturdays or watching the game at a friend's place.

H&M, Tie Front Chiffon Blouse, $29

And then there is the simple solid sheer. I'm a sucker for a tie front so this one is a clear winner for me.

Sheer blouses are a great option for September. Pair them with skinny jeans or tuck it into a pencil skirt.

Would You Like a Bag with That?

You and I both know that Philip Lim is doing Target. September 15. Huge deal. Huge, huge deal. I have already enlisted my mother in suburban Pennsylvania to go stake out her local Target. But today we're going to look at non-Philip Lim Target bags, because they're killing it.

Target, Merona Wine Navy Tote, $39

This is such a beautiful work bag. Double handle, space for files, lots of pockets it zippers closed. 

Target, Brown Wood Mid Bucket, $29

I don't always love bucket bags, I think they look messy. But this one has some structure to it. A great lush color as well.

Target, Hobo Bags Me Red Flap Closure, $29

Saddle bags are huge for fall but if you're like me, you can't afford the Coach version. This deep red will do just fine.

Target, Satchels Me Navy Zip Closure, $34

How about a rich navy bag? Oh I love this. The hardware is great and the foldover is a great detail.

Target is doing a fabulous job finding great pieces that look rich to fit into your lifestyle. I love these bags but I will also be hunting down some Philip Lim's this month!!

Reader Request: Music Festival

Hey there lovebugs,
Happy Monday to you! I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today's post is for a reader who is going to the Virgin Free Fest next weekend and needs some outfit help. While we can't control the weather let's hope for mid 70s and sunny.

Jeans/Top/Crossbody Bag/Flats/Earrings

Ok let me break this down. Jeans, obviously. A slight roll will keep the hems from dragging in unspeakable things. Speaking of stepping in unspeakable things, these shoes are $17 from Target. They're chic but you're not going to be upset if you spill on them. Working our way up. I love this top. It's got leather sleeves and a fabulous print, perfect for 'I'm not trying to hard but I also look amazing.' And accessories. These earrings are rocker but they also pick up the chevron shapes in the top. Finally the crossbody bag. It may look small but let's be honest, you don't want to be lugging a tote on your shoulder. Pack your essentials and have both hands free.
