Not So Blacked Out

One of the biggest trends this spring is black and white. It's sharp and classic and it looks good on everyone. One of my favorite ways to style this trend is in a stripe. Today we're looking at some black and white stripe dresses. Bold and ready for accessorizing.

She Inside, Black and White Striped Dress, $39

So mod. So chic. So sassy. I don't have much to add to this flirty number.

Mango, Dress, $79

This dress is structural and strong. I love the boatneck detail.

Loft, Lou and Grey Black and White Dress, $49

From strong to comfy. This dress is going to be your new favorite tee. Layer on the statement necklace and a contrasting skinny belt.

Nordstrom, French Connection Cap Sleeve Stripe Dress, $82

A preppy, almost nautical dress that is great for work or play. A nice, well made dress that is a quality piece.

The black and white trend will certainly appear on this blog again before the spring is over, but this stripe version is just perfect for an almost-Friday treat.

Show Me Personality

Let's talk comfort. Now that the weather is (fingers crossed) getting just a little bit warmer every day, we don't have to break out the wool and the cashmere. In fact, we can have some fun while still being warm. Sweatshirts were a big trend this winter and they will continue to be this spring, but instead of bejeweled and quilted, let's get graphic and fun. These picks are casual cool and perfect for spring.

Perry Ellis, Heat Seal French Terry Sweatshirt, $58

A great soft terry makes this top great for the weekend. Add on some statement earrings.

Charlotte Russe, Graphic Sweatshirt, $19

Bound to get some smiles in this sweatshirt. 

Modcloth, All's Well that End's Wheel, $39

A great fitted sweatshirt that is a little preppy and a lot comfy.

Express, Graphic Sweatshirt, $39

This sweatshirt was made for me. I'd dress it up by layering it with a gingham button down underneath. Maybe even some pearls.

Graphic sweatshirts are a fun way to express your personality. These tops don't break the bank but they do make you crack a smile.

Wood You Mind?

Sometimes in life you need something solid to count on. This world is always changing and stress seems to pile up. What we need is something solid to rely on, something like wood. That's right. We're looking at wood today. No splinters, don't worry.

Asos, Hard Clutch Bag in Wood, $65

How unique is this bag? It's modern and just stunning with the gold accents.

Neiman Marcus, Kendra Scott Elle Earring, $65

These come off rustic but paired with a dress, you just made wood ladylike.

Anthropologie, Woodgrain Case, $38

There are plenty of wooden iPhone cases out there. I really like this 'wood' case because it's artistic with a chic twist.

Pink Mascara, Nature's Heart Necklace, $52

Wood doesn't alway have to be heavy. Look at this delicate and sweet charm. Perfect for the weekend.

Wood accessories are bold and unexpected. From necklaces to bags this material crosses all styles.
