Red Riding Hood

I cannot believe we've gotten this far into winter without talking about capes. A huge mistake on my part. Please forgive me. Now then, I give you the cape. The easiest outer layer there ever was and ever will be. I prefer a darker color with this item because you will get a lot of use out of it so it needs to be versatile with your outfits.

Nordstrom, Trouve Faux Leather Trim Cape Coat, $76

A lovely mix of brown and black. It will go with pretty much anything in your closet.

Forever 21, Femme Boucle Cape, $47

You know Forever 21 is serious when an item costs more then $30. So hold everything kids, this is good stuff.

Macy's, Big Buddha Wrap, $72

A lighter option in a beautiful carmel that is zip and go.

Asos, Bonded Check Cape, $49

I love the plaid peeking out of this cape. The toggles are also a great detail.

It's difficult to find a cape for under $100, and now that it is mid-winter the sales on these items are starting to show. Pick the color and style you are looking for and make sure you don't settle. This style isn't going away, you can find just what you're looking for eventually.

Hole in One

Yesterday we did mesh. Today kind of staying along the same lines with the open knit sweater. This cheeky option is great for a more casual look.

Dorothy Perkins, Blue Stitchy Fluffy Sweater, $31

I'm in love with this sweater and the reasoning is perfectly explained in the name of the item.

Mango, Interwoven Wool Blend Sweater, $34

What does Miss Mackenzie always say? Navy or nothing? Amen sister.

Lord and Taylor, Vintage Havana High Lo Sweater, $68

Classy and edgy at the same time. I'd layer on a neon necklace to pop.

Shopbob, d. Ra Stockholm Pullover, $63

A cozy drop shoulder sweater that is perfect for skinny jeans, boots, and an oversized scarf.

These chunky open knit sweaters are a comfortable yet chic option for weekends. Effortless but put together.

Oh Sweetie, I See Right Through You

The weather has been a bit wonky lately. One day you can't feel your face and the next its all 50 degrees like its no big deal. What's a girl to do? Especially when going out, do you do the chunky sweater? Too sweaty. How about a nice blouse? Boring. A nice compromise is the sweetheart mesh top. Stay with me. All of the intrigue of a date night approved outfit with the coverage that is necessary for January.

Charlotte Russe, Mesh Necklace Peplum Top, $21

OK so please remove the necklace, it's ugly. But I had to post it because of the price. And a great peplum can be worn as is or add a skinny belt.

Bluefly, Annalee and Hope Black Lace Sheer Yoke Sweetheart Bodice Long Sleeve Top, $34

A little lace is just lovely and I like that it continues all the way down the blouse.

Asos, Curve Body with Sweetheart Mesh, $25

When you wear this bombshell of a top, try not to make the face this model is making. It's not a good face. Just smile because you know you look incredible.

Modcloth, The Answer is Sheer Top, $34

And a short sleeve option. I love the pin dot pattern here as well.

What do all of these tops have in common? A sweetheart neckline. This very small detail adds just the right amount of femininity to an otherwise sassy top.

What a Stud

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a fabulous weekend. It seemed to fly by but let's just churn it out this week and get to the next one.

Today we're looking at some stud earrings. Something so small but the right one can make quite the impact. Oversized or a stand out color, make a statement.

Sole Society, Oversized Oval Crystal Stud, $39

These vintage inspired beauties are handmade so no two are alike. Unique and stunning.

Nordstrom, Tory Burch Extra Large Logo Stud, $78

Is this a lot to spend on an earring? Yes. But this is an earring that is a classic. It is the LBD of stud earrings. Never going out of style.

BaubleBar, Coral Facet Frame Studs, $28

Now this is how you do color. Bold, ladylike, and rectangular. Rectangular! Game changer.

Anthropologie, Proviso Posts, $28

These remind me of something I would find in my grandmother's jewelry box. They're stately and something to admire. 

Studs are an often overlooked accessory. A simple pearl earring is just fine and a great option, but why not something bigger, something bolder. And someday, someday far from now we will own these.
