Lace Blues

You know what's hard about lace? You immediately think white or cream and it's not exactly white lace season any longer. That doesn't mean lace is out of the game. Oh no, I've got you covered. Black and blue lace. Stay with me. It's professional, feminine, and perfect for day to night.

Loft, Blue Underlay Lace Skirt, $79

What did I tell you? Scalloped hem to boot.

Asos, Darling Eliza Lace Skirt, $30

The high waisted style of this skirt makes the bow grown up.

Piperlime, Lace Pencil Skirt, $89

Hits right at the knee for a perfect work skirt. I'd pair it with a teal blouse and a bright sandal.

Ann Taylor, Tall Lace Pencil Skirt, $84

I think my favorite detail might be the grosgrain ribbon waistband. 

Lace isn't just for summer and these navy and black options are perfect for fall.

Brilliant Idea

Sometimes I am chock-full of ideas for posts. Brimming with trends to try and sales to spoil. Sometimes I'm at a loss. And when that happens I often turn to The bf and ask 'what should I write about?' And sometimes he's helpful. Sometimes. And today is one of those times: let's look at some burgundy clutches.

Banana Republic, Gemma Burgundy Box Clutch, $79 sold out but this one is on sale for $50 with code BREXTRA50

Doesn't this remind you of something your gramma would have and in the best way possible?

Dorothy Perkins, Oxblood Asymmetric Clutch Bag, $28

How about a mixed media clutch with a wristlet option? Yes.

Free People, Harper Vegan Clutch, $48

I love the fold over detail and the pebbled leather of this oh-so-soft accessory.

Yoox, Tantra Across Body Bag, $35 $27

An envelope style with a little metal. Love it.

Sometimes The bf has some great ideas and these maroon, burgundy, oxblood, whatever you want to call are a great addition to your fall collection.

What a Stud!

Let's get a little rock and roll today. A little wild from my usual prep-classic style. I'm talking studs. nothing offensive, but edgy. A little unexpected. And I love these studded skirts because I can balance them with a feminine silk tie blouse or keep it sassy with a jean jacket.

Bloomingdale's, Studded Flare Skirt, $54 $47

I'm starting with my favorite. The vertical studding lengthens the legs and the flare does exactly what it's supposed to do. 

Target, Athens Blue Studded Ponte Pencil Skirt, $24

A sassy pencil option that is in a sturdy ponte fabric.

Guess, Studded Wrap Skirt, $79

Love this wrap with gunmetal studding. The back also features an exposed zipper.

Tulle, Rockin' Around Mini Skirt, $39

Not so much for this trend? How about the quietest of options that still fits the bill.

The studded skirt is a fun way to inject some energy into your wardrobe. Whether you're a prep, rocker, or boho, anyone can pull off this trend.

I'm Glossy

Happy Monday lovebugs,
Are you feeling a little sleepy this morning? I am. Could have used one more weekend day. But alas, let's pump up the coffee and look at some high gloss bags. Bags that don't scream with color or pattern but rather shine.

Shoptiques, Olive Clutch, $69

Hello gorgeous. Oh my. Look at this geometric beauty! And that gold shoulder chain? Yes.

Aldo, Scotti, $85

A few weeks ago we looked at gorgeous top handle bags, and this one also fits the bill. 

Express, Patent Bowler Bag, $59

I love this for a travel purse. Fits my laptop and I can use the shoulder strap. The nude color matches any outfit.

Nordstrom, Ivanka Trump Travel Clutch, $95

This isn't just a navy clutch, it's a sapphire clutch. It's sophisticated and chic and it's perfect for a night out or to throw into a larger bag.

Add some high gloss and shine to your bag rotation. These beauties are eye catching without being show stealing.
