Going in Circles

There is something quite simple and dramatic about a hoop earring. The hoop earring is as classic as the pearl. It goes with everything and you can dress it up, down, and everything in between. There are a zillion hoop earring options out there, today I thought we would look at some classic but unique gold and silver earrings.

Amazon, Jules Smith Girls Night Out Hoop, $28

See? Unexpected but not distracting.

Shoptiques, Officina Bernardi Silver Hoop Earrings, $70

I absolutely love beaded metal. I think it is super feminine and a bit warmer than a standard flat metal.

NY & Company, Oval Shaped Hoop Drop Earring, $9

How night out at the museum are these earrings? So very chic!

Etsy, Hoop Sterling Silver Icicle Earring, $68

These earrings are magical. They are light and mysterious and best of all, handmade in Seattle.

Hoop earrings are not just from Mean Girls era, they are the accessory that will be with us a century from now because they don't age and they don't go out of style.

Stay in Your Lane

Let's play with stripes. Particularly black and white stripes because they stand out. They make a statement that no other color or pattern can. People tend to fear horizontal stripes because it exaggerates width, but I'm here to tell you that in monochrome in the right cut and fit, it accentuates every awesome part about you*.

Shoptiques, BB Dakota Portia Stripe Skirt, $73

Well this is quite the number. Wear this skirt when asking for a raise and work it.

Shabby Apple, Steamboat Skirt, $62

These stripes have a beautiful fall to them. It creates a very subtle chevron side.

Simply Be, Closet Striped Skirt, $87

Check out this waistband. It's going to nip in in just the right place to make you look incredible.

Nordstrom, Halogen Stripe Tie Waist Tiered Front Skirt, $69

Like I said earlier, let it hug your curves and if you don't have curves, this skirt loves you too. The way the stripes contrast in direction will create the perfect illusion.

Embrace the stripes. Thick, thin, horizontal, chevon, just have fun with it!

Gray Matter

Have the fall fashion magazines taken over your coffee table? The pages and pages of trends that create a leaning tower of fashion in your living room? I hear you. Where do we even start? I think we should start from the bottom, the shoes. I am loving gray suede for fall. It is such a rich neutral that is cool at the same time.

Asos, Public Desire Colette Heeled Boots, $73

Check this price you guys. OTK suede boots for UNDER $75.

Nordstrom, Corso Como Del Pump, $98

Own that big meeting in comfort and style with these go with everything pumps.

Amazon, Steve Madden Walis, $89

Zappos, Nine West Modesty, $89

Oh hello lover. We've got the go to shoe for fall, ladies. Tassels FTW.

Gray is such an easy color to pair, try with offbeat hues like moss or merlot to really take things to the next level.

Brunch ASAP

Hey there lovebugs,
I hope you had a great weekend. I spent mine in Syracuse, NY watching my little get married. After the festivities, we needed some post-wedding brunch goodness and hit up a pretty fantastic waffle joint, which inspired today's post.

Bloomingdale's, Michelle by Comune Brunchies Top, $38

Perhaps the perfect Saturday top. Add a to knot and some punchy stud earrings.

Nordstrom, Topshop by Tee and Cake Bacon and Eggs Pocket Tee, $40

The real shortened version of bacon is bae. Nordstrom just gets me.

Express, Champagne All Day V Neck Tee, $24

I love the simplicity of this tee, it ironically looks high fashion. You can tuck this into a suede skirt for fall and be ready for the day.

Modcloth, Life in the Breakfast Lane, $29

150 reviewers can't be wrong. This tee is soft, truthful, and stylish.

When you have a case of the Mondays, it is totally ok to start counting the day until the weekend. I hope these tees ease your pain!
