Straw Poll

This week's posts have been all about summer favorites. Today we're finishing strong with the straw clutch. I love this medium because it's beachy but structured in shape. It works great for a Saturday dinner al fresco or a destination wedding. The style is so versatile.

Banana Republic, Dot Straw Clutch, $58

How great is this bag? Polka dots in straw? Count me in.

JCrew, Rattan Clutch, $88

This is a strong clutch. It's sturdy, leather closure, and perfect beads to stand on.

Anthropologie, Wittenberg Crossbody, $88

Leave it to Anthro to crush the straw pattern game. The stripes, texture, color!

H&M, Braided Clutch Bag, $17

Simple, under $20, can't go wrong!

Accessorizing for summer is so easy with a straw clutch. Grab your phone, keys, cards, and lipstick and walk out the door.

I Feel Like Bustin' Loose

Let's spice up this hump day with a really sassy dress. The bustier or fitted bodice dress is equal parts sexy and feminine. I think the fit is daring but spot on for those nights that you need to really make a statement.

Amazon, Jessica Simpson Madelynn Bustier Dress, $48

Starting sweet with this floral number that is great for an evening outdoor wedding.

Shoptiques, Lucca Couture Pleather Chiffon Dress, $79

This dress is the new platinum blond Taylor Swift dress. Edgy but girly.

Modcloth, Blockbuster Party Dress, $59

Two things that make this dress extra awesome: a bow and pockets.

Asos, Rare London Lace Bodice Dress, $89

This is a special dress. Pull out this weapon when you to make an entrance or make someone very, very jealous.

The fitted bodice dress is a silhouette that demands attention. It's dramatic and photo worthy for so many summer occasions.

All Tied Up

It's the second day of summer, I'm assuming your toes are looking painted and pretty? Ok good, because I need show you these shoes. Lace up gladiator sandals. Gladiators aren't anything new, and for me, they're quite the statement shoe. Like, whoa girl that's a lot of shoe, statement. These are a bit softer, easier to pair with items already in your closet.

Soludos, Braided Gladiator Lace Up Sandal, $99

Right?! These remind me of this month's pom post but next level. 

Kenneth Cole, Zoom In Lace Up Gladiator Sandals, $44

This is your new neutral sandal. Subtle gold that goes with jeans, shorts, patterns, chambray, you name it.

Bloomingdale's, Vince Camuto Tany Snake Embossed Gladiator Lace Sandal, $98

These sandals are vacation ready. Like bring me something fruity cabana boy shoes.

South Moon Under, Lucky Brand Collette Lace Up Gladiator Sandals, $69

Rose gold, anyone? Yeah, I thought so.

These fun sandals are a little less intimidating than a full blown gladiator shoe and they are more versatile for your summer shoe game.

Beggars Can't Be Choosers

Happy Monday lovebugs,
I hope you had a wonderful weekend. The weather in DC was fantastic and it is really starting to feel like summer. Today's topic is a truly summer top - the peasant top is perfect for warm summer days because of it's loose and breezy fit. This style of top comes in so many colors and styles, I'm fond of the embroidered ones with that extra piece of detail.

Lord & Taylor, Miss Selfridge Peasant Top, $52

This top says summer. Simple with pops of color.

South Moon Under, Patrons of Peace Embroidered Peasant Top, $69

A big scoop neck is casual and dramatic. 

Dillard's, Bobeau Tassel Embroidered Peasant Top, $44

Great color combination and I love that even with a busy pattern, you can still wear a necklace.

Lord & Taylor, Lucky Brand Embroidered Peasant Top, $32

How about a patterned top? What a great way to play with prints.

Peasant tops have come a long way from your hippie Aunt's closet. I think the embroidered options really stand out from the rest.
