Pencil Pusher

You know what item doesn't get enough credit? The pencil skirt. It's a hard working piece in your closet that can pull a look together in an instant. Think about it: the button down shirt, the cardigan, the t shirt! Slap on the pencil skirt and instant chic. Today we're looking at the patterned pencil. Let's see what a print adds to this staple.

Nordstrom, Halogen Printed Pencil Skirt, $69

These aren't polka dots ladies, these are stars. Ha! A gorgeous purple with black stars.

Loft, Autumn Bloom Pencil Skirt, $69

This color works for fall because its a mustard yellow rather than a buttery yellow. I love it with this soft t shirt.

Talbots, Textured Floral Skirt, $31

Originally $110 this skirt is a steal and it packs a punch.

Piperlime, Three Dots Fitted Skirt, $75

This is your comfort pencil. No zippers or clasps, just cotton with a hint of spandex.

Let's give the pencil skirt some credit, it does a lot for my closet, what about yours? Oh and did I mention all of these picks are $75 and under? Not too shabby.

Laser Removal

You know I love details. I am a sucker for just that little extra something that gives a piece character. Today we're going to look at a detail that takes time. Something that is more than just a bold color, pattern, or texture. It's the laser cut. Sharp, defined and edgy. Today let's look at some black laser cut tops.

Vince Camuto, Chandelier Laser Cut Blouse, $84

Did you think you could classify a top as art deco? Because I'm about to. How sassy is this blouse?

Nordstrom, Leith Laser Cut Shell, $48

An eye-catching geo print that is ready for a bandeau or even a button down.

House of Harlow, Phoenix Tee, $29

Originally $165. That's right. Thank you Nicole Richie.

Asos, Top with Layered Laser Cut Panel, $40

A little boho and ready for your moto boots.

The laser cut is a great trend and detail that makes quite a statement. While you can wear it in a heel or even a white dress, these edgier black tops are really something special.

Feel The Rain on Your Skin

Does anyone else have a thing for Lauren Conrad? It started with The Hills and then she went all fashion on us and is just crushing it. I'd like to take a stroll down an aisle of Kohl's with you. It is all LC and it is all so good. Her pieces are staples today's picks? Under $40. $40 you guys.

Kohl's, Lauren Conrad Bow French Terry Sweatshirt, $36

See what I mean? Simple and staple. Wear it alone or layer a silk oxford underneath.

Kohl's, Lauren Conrad Lace Slubbed Top, $16

I love a nice slug cotton. So soft. I would dress this up for work with a statement necklace and wear it on the weekend as is.

Kohl's, Lauren Conrad Striped T Shirt Dress, $21

The question is, when won't you wear this dress? Wear it now with a neon belt and later with brown flat boots!

Kohl's, Lauren Conrad Hi Low Ruffle Chiffon Blouse, $17

But really, can you beat this price for a four season floral peplum?

LC is just fantastic when it comes to fashion and her prices are even better.

Top Me Off

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I'm feeling ladylike this morning. Girly, flirty, and feminine. One fall bag trend that exudes lady is the top handle handbag. It's very Mad Men chic. Simple, elegant, and under $100.

Sole Society, Baylen, $49

This cognac beauty is fall. It's got an equestrian feel and the hardware is just subtle enough to blend in.

Shop Ruche, Summertime Stroll Bag, $64

A simple nude bag that you can carry into fall by adding a cool scarf.

DSW, Melie Bianco Annie Top Handle Crossbody Bag, $59

This colorblock vision also comes in a cobalt version but I love this for fall.

Modcloth, Cobalt Charisma Bag, $65

And speaking of cobalt how about this sharp number?

The top handle bag is a simple detail that to me adds just a touch of femininity to your look. Find it in your style and your color but enjoy it all the same.
