Neon Nouveau

June 11, 2014

I’m sure it comes to no surprise when I tell you that I added another a-line skirt to my ever-growing collection (I’ve got a blog name to live up to after all!). Big, flouncy skirts have been my jam lately (see my recent favorites here, here and here), but this neon number definitely takes the cake.

The ultrabright, chartreuse hue is no doubt a head turner, so I’m letting it take center stage and pairing it with black and gold everything: a sleek sleeveless top, simple ankle strap heels and my new favorite necklace.

Summer Stripes

June 5, 2014

By now, you probably know that I’m a big proponent of mixed prints. It’s a fun way get creative with your wardrobe and if you haven’t tried it yet, you should! If you’re just starting out, start off with some stripes because they’re the easiest to pair: floral and stripes, leopard and stripes, random geometric patterns and stripes — you name it, you can pair it!

For something a little more advanced, try mixing two of the same prints in different (but complementing) sizes and colors. A little striped cami paired with a colorful striped skirt? It’s the recipe for a sizzling summer outfit.

WEAR
Top: Express
Skirt: Gentle Fawn (c/o) (I recommend sizing up)
Necklace: Sequin (c/o)
Clutch: Lulu*s (c/o)
Bracelets: Forever 21, Sequin (c/o)
Shoes: Zara (similar)

Pastel Palette

June 2, 2014

Hey friends — I hope you had a wonderful weekend! My parents were in NYC for weekend adventures #2. This time around, I took them to my office to see where I work (guaranteed recipe for embarrassment!), then we wandered and ate everywhere from midtown to downtown. We also catched our very first Manhattanhenge — one of four days out of the year where the sunset aligns perfectly with the city street grids. I couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.

So when it came to weekend wear, a whispery white dress was the name of game. Just like the LBD, the little white dress is the perfect blank canvas for any outfit. You can let it stand on its own or throw on few colorful accessories. I obviously opted for the latter with a pastel palette. I’m all about this powder blue scarf (um hello … pom poms!) and a yellow perforated bag for the perfect pops of pastel.
