Swing Dancing

As we hang on to the last few weeks of summer I thought we would take a look at one of my favorite dress silhouettes, the swing dress. This shape is the opposite of tailored. It's just what it sounds like: swingy. Loose, breezy, soft and comfortable.

Asos, Sleeveless Swing Dress with Pussybow, $42

I'm starting with my favorite. I'm a sucker for green, but check out the movement on this dress. Just beautiful.

Forever 21, Cutout Rose Swing Dress, $27

The elusive long sleeve version that has a gorgeous deep scoop back.

Urban Outfitters, Adidas Tango Swing Dress, $80 $39

A simple, girly polka dot that I would pair with sneakers and a neon necklace. 

Dorothy Perkins, Alice & You Black Lace Swing Dress, $69

Great details on this little lace number. Wear it now with sandals and later with some sassy tights. 

A great swing dress is comfortable, versatile and girly. You can also head to the buffet without worry.

Size Doesn't Matter

Earlier in the week we looked at bucket bags and I mentioned that we would talk the other bag trend: the mini bag. Now for me, the mini bag isn't a problem because I'm a minimalist when it comes to what's in my bag. For other women I know it can be a struggle, so I recommend using this bag for weekends when you can throw it on as a cross body with the essentials and go. The other reason I love this trend is with a small bag, you can afford a large label.

Bloomingdale's, Michael Kors Crossbody Jet Set Leather, $128 $89 

What did I tell you about the label. The man, the legend, Michael Kors. This is your do it all bag.

Diane Von Furstenberg, Sutra Micro Mini Tortoise PVC Crossbody Bag, $165 $82

That's right, DVF. DVF. Double digit DVF.

Barney's Warehouse, Deux Lux Blake Mini Messenger Bag, $69

These colors make me so happy. The pops of yellow in the leather weave and then a yellow zipper. You can't get much happier than this.

Sole Society, Cody, $29

And a nice canvas option that is what I'd pair with a sundress or a jean jacket.

Mini bags make a major statement whether you find a neon color or a big label. It's a trend that works for any style and any season.

Heck Yeah I'm Wearing Flowers

So I got you flowers. I know! For no special reason at all, which in my opinion is the best reason to give and get flowers. Today I got you big flowers, oversized flowers that are a great way to hold onto summer.

Urban Outfitters, Cameo Lift Off Bomber Jacket, $228 $99

Feminine meets moto chic. I love this mix and these colors.

Macy's, Rachel Roy Sleeveless Andi Floral Tank, $44

I love this layered tank that is so delicate and yet machine washable!

Nordstrom, Search for Sanity Print Raglan Sweatshirt, $68

No surprise here that Nordstrom nails it with this transition floral sweatshirt.

Asos, Influence Floral Print Oversized Top with Cuffed Hem, $34

Neon pink with pops of black is the exact contrast that you can pull off with floral.

Big flowers, I mean oversized, in your face, heck-yeah-I'm-wearing-floral prints are a great trend. Try it! I'm telling you, the compliments will be blossoming. See what I did there?

Bucket List

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I've started to get my September fashion mags and I thought we would start off the week with a trend I'm seeing everywhere: the bucket bag. Now you may be thinking, beach bag or Limited Too but stay with me, these are the adult bucket bags with beautiful fabrics and colors.

Urban Outfitters, BDG Beau Convertible Sling Bucket Bag, $39

This is a versatile and casual bag that is great for farmers market mornings and brunch with friends.

Chic Wish, Mint Drawstring Bucket Bag, $37

Oh hi there perfect transition color for summer to fall.

Asos, French Connection Bucket Bag with an Embroidery Detail, $69

This bag was originally $232. It is now 70% off. Just go.

Mango, Pebbled Bucket Bag, $39

This is a great bag to grab and go. Phone, wallet, keys, lipstick. It hits on two trends, the bucket bag and the mini bag (which we'll cover later this week). A two for one under $40.

Bucket bags are far from what your remember as a kid. Think leather, embroidery, saturated colors and more. These are great solder bags or double the strap and carry them.
