Short and Sweet

We haven't talked shorts in some time, which is odd because it's prime shorts season. I thought we would go back to some fun basics and look at cotton print shorts. A go to piece in your drawer that is machine washable, graphic, and weekend ready.

Ann Taylor, Rope Print Shorts, $59
Small print, color block and belt loops to add a contrasting white rope belt. 

A cute geo print with just the touch of stretch that you are grateful for after a summer BBQ.

White House Black Market, Floral Printed Short, $29
A great price for a really versatile short. You can easily dress this up with a pink silk top or go casual with a simple tee.

J Crew, Hibiscus Floral Short, $69
And speaking of floral, how about this colorful option that is ready for heeled sandals or a linen tunic.

A simple pair of cotton shorts will be a life saver for you this summer. They work with so many things in your closet and they won't break the bank.

I'm Bringing Bow Back

You all know that I love a good bow. It's a standout girly detail that never goes out of style. Today let's look at some back bow tops that are perfect for summer.

Simple and classic. A great silhouette for an understated blouse.

This is preppy and ready for some white denim.

What a delicate tank that is perfect for the hottest days of summer.

Dorothy Perkins, Lime Frilled Bow Back Top, $35
You don't see a lot of lime anymore. Why is that? I think it looks pretty great with so many skin tones.

Bows are wonderful, and if you would rather not have them as in your face as I would, I think a bow back blouse id a great option.

Gone Fishin'

It's summertime and you're going to the beach, vacation, or how Northeasterners say it "down the shore". Let's have some fun with jewelry that is great for vacation. What do I mean? Fish of course! Yes, fish. Trust me.

Modcloth, Oh Koi Necklace, $24
How great would this look with a maxi dress? Also, can we talk about the price?

Ann Taylor, Shore Charm Bracelet, $44
Leave it to my girl Ann to create a whimsical yet classic bracelet.

A downright artsy piece that is charming and great with a silk blouse or a dress.

How about some real fun. A true stand out piece. Look no further than Betsey.

I love the fish trend because it's such a quirky idea that can be done elegantly.

Don't Midi if I Do

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a great weekend. We're back at it with the 9-5 life so I thought we would have some fun with workwear. The midi skirt has been all the rage this summer with crop tops but did you know you can continue to wear them into the fall and winter with a cropped sweater or a sleek oxford. So today let's look at some great midi skirts with pockets.

We're going to start with the ultimate. The standard, the versatile, the goes with absolutely anything. Oh and it's under $80.


Modcloth, B. Jones Style Skirt, $89
This skirt has a great large print that you can pair with a striped top, crop top, bow blouse, you name it. 

How can you not love peach? It's a bright but not neon-in-your-face color.

I'm a sucker for this purple, fuchsia color. I just love the saturated pop of color. Mix it with emerald, navy, yellow, just have fun with it.

The midi skirt works now with an ankle strap sandal and later with tights and booties, so stock up! And check out the new shop the post feature below to make it easy for you to find the pieces featured!
