Go Boldly

Hey there lovebugs,
Happy almost Friday to you. Last month at about this time we looked at some floral pants. Today we're going to continue the floral trend but look at some bolder prints. Some flowers that just can't be contained in you usual, expected colors, patterns, and shapes.

Dorothy Perkins, Floral Printed Mesh Dress, $79

Boom. Now we're talking floral. I love everything about this dress: the shape, the gathering at the waist, colors, oh I just love it.

C Wonder, Silk Graphic Floral Print Blouse, $99

How about these big ol flowers? Modern, graphic and so much fun.

Lord and Taylor, Tracy Reese Floral Shift Dress, $98

This floral has more of a disco vibe to it. I would pair it with some killer high espadrilles.

Modcloth, Work of Pop Art Top, $49

How about this top? There is so much fabulous going on I'm having trouble not adding it to my cart and checking the heck out at modcloth.com.

Florals aren't just for your pretty Sundays or meeting your grandmother. Try out some bolder colors, some bigger patterns, try some unexpected florals.

Stop, Tassel Time

Yesterday I mentioned a tassel belt that could be added to a maxi dress; but really, the tassel belt can do so much more than just that. I love this option because it dresses up and gives some personality to an otherwise utility piece. 

Anthropologie, Tasseled Jetty Belt, $48

Hello preppy perfection. 

Mango, Tassel Link Belt, $39

This belt reminds me of a Chanel bag. So gold and so timeless.

Shopbop, Madewell Woven Tassel Belt, $30

A great casual option to pair with a dress, chino shorts, any pretty much anything else you can think of. 

The Limited, Tassel Accent Belt, $39

A textured faux-leather makes this budget friendly belt perfect for work. I'm thinking a black pencil skirt.

Tassels are a great detail on jewelry, bags, and shoes. Now, try it with a belt.

Don't Max Out My Card

Hey there lovebugs,
At this point in life, the question is who doesn't own a maxi? The maxi dress is the perfect go to for the warmer months. I for one, was late on the trend but now I have a handful in my closet and couldn't be happier about it. Today let's take a look at some maxis under $50. That's right, maxi dress, mini price.

Macy's, Bar III Printed Maxi, $49

A beautiful geometric all over print that is breezy and boho.

Target, Mossimo Tiered Maxi Dress, $27

A beautiful sunny print with an empire waist and sweetheart neckline. The dress screams summer.

Old Navy, Women's Tulip Hem Maxi, $39

This maxi offers the ultimate canvas to do whatever you want with it. Add some big statement earrings or a long tassel belt, or contrast the pink with an unexpected colored sandal.

JCPenny, Stripe Tank Maxi Dress, $34

Staying on the black and white trend with this option. It has an understated elastic waist to help define the hourglass.

Maxi dresses do not need to blow your budget. Look for machine washable fabrics and colors and patterns that you can add your own flair to.

Future is So Bright

Let's have some fun on this Monday. It's mid-May, it's warm, it's time for sunglasses. Sunglasses in my opinion should be a whole lot of fun. It's an accessory that doesn't have to be classic, you take them on and off a handful of times during the day, so why not make them stand out? Let's take a look at these fabulous patterned shades.

Neiman Marcus, Toms eyewear Gigi polka dot, $98

Navy polka dot. Does it get any better? I love these summer ready shoes. Perfect for jeans, sundress or even a suit.

Urban Outfitters, Amigo printed square sunglasses, $14

The vintage surfer trend is one that I'm still working on getting behind, this however, I'm all over it. Summer meets Saved by the Bell.

Nordstrom, Isaac Mizrahi New York 50mm Cat Eye, $98

I'm struggling with these shades. I cannot decide what I love more, the lavender, the retro shape, or the blurred graphic sides. 

Modcloth, Chevron and On, $11

The ombre on the glasses is so feminine. The shape means business.

How do you style your shades? Are you a tortoise classic kind of girl or something a bit more eye catching, something patterned?
