Breaking the Shell

We're getting a little hard core today on the blog. You have your array of clutches in your closet and they're great, but they aren't exactly what you want to grab this weekend. I hear you. I'm here for you. Today let's look at some clutches that stand for themselves. No, seriously, today we're looking at hard shell clutches.

Nordstrom, Glint Linear Ridge Clutch, $58

I love this clutch for a special occasion. It comes in gold and silver, but I prefer this gunmetal. Understated and still fancy.

Marciano, Pearlescent Minaudière, $98

This clutch is like a piece of art. I love the glamour but it's also very modern.

Asos, Skinny Dip Spectrum Clutch Bag, $73

When talking hard shell, you usually think metallic. Enter this beauty. Break tradition.

Shoptiques, Black Translucent Case Clutch, $65

Dress this bag up or down, its ready for date night or jeans.

A hard shell clutch is something a bit different when looking at a smaller purse but I think it makes a nice statement piece.

That Sale in the Window

Ok lovebugs, today we're looking at a trend that's gotten a whole lot of attention lately. I say lately because we've looked at this pattern back in June. The windowpane print. It's similar to a plaid but monochrome in color. The pattern can vary in size which is great to match proportion to your body type.

Loft, Windowpane V Neck Cardigan, $59

100% cotton and 100% fantastic. I love the balance of the black and light blue.

Express, Windowpane Sheer Full Tights, $19

Starting simple? Try these sheer tights with a pencil skirt (of any color).

Old Navy, Pixie Pant in Windowpane, $17 (!!)

No, really, these pants at this price. Just go. Go now.

Lord and Taylor, Panacea Windowpane Cuff, $18

You thought this was just for clothing? Check out this great modern yet preppy windowpane cuff.

So there you have it. A lighter-feeling plaid print in the windowpane trend.

Flounce Much?

What are your favorite words? Do you love potato, effervescent, what word in this lovely language speaks to you? One of my favorite words is flounce. It's flirty and fun. It describes a personality and today it describes a skirt hem.

A beautiful, shimmery blush satin makes this skirt absolutely perfect for work, drinks, and date night.

A lovely midi length that is...wait for it...machine washable.

Let's end with a print. How lovely is this floral? Two layers of flounce for maximum impact.
