Sheer excitement

We're happily preparing our closets for fall and winter! Who's ready for those cooler temperatures? We're in hot pursuit of a very promising trend. Check it out!

We found the Thakoon Ribbed-Bodice-Sheer-Band Dress to be really stunning. It's a real spin on a classic black dress. We love the sheer fabric elements that we're added to this dress. The simple triangle of fabric covering the deep v-neck. And we're in love with that beautiful stripe of sheer fabric around the skirt. It's an excellent way to subtly incorporate sheer into your fall look. And it will always be in style.

This sheer Stella McCarthy sweatshirt is really cool. We love the athletic look it can give to an outfit. It's the perfect layering piece. Wear a bright colored dress or tank underneath for a fun effect. It's a great way to continue wearing your favorite summer patterns and colors into the fall.

We love this bright coral sheer top from BCBGMaxAzria. The color is a great warm, bright yet muted color for fall. We think it's a great piece to wear to work. Simply add a cardigan for the office. Add a statement necklace for even more fun!

Sheer is great for all occasions. We're ready to embrace this fall fashion trend. Are you? Want to incorporate this look into your latex look? You're in luck! We have transparent blue, pink, grey, black and natural colored latex. Give it a try!

So hot in, so hot in here!

Don't you wish you could just walk around naked? Legally that is... And not possible. We only bring this up because it is HOT outside! We're burning up! And naked is not the answer. But a neoprene bathing suit? Yeah, that just might work.

This look is hot!! It's one of the biggest summer trend thus far. Neoprene is the same material that scuba suits are made out of. But these suits are much sexier than a scuba suit! Just check out this one by Triangl. This line actually got the trend going. But we are in love with this suit! Bright, bright colors and bold black outlines. It really makes a statement. Great for the beaches of Miami or sunbathing in your own backyard!

And now for something completely different... This cool suit by Stella McCartney. It's like nothing we have ever seen before. We like this unique look. It allows for that fun bikini look with a little bit more coverage. And that print! So lovely and so different. We're digging this neoprene suit!

Neoprene actually reminds us of latex. It fits right to the skin and looks great! And the neoprene plays a little better in the water. Are you going to give one of these a try?

Show us a little wedge

During the summertime, we're usually wearing sandals. We're sure most of you are as well! And if we're not wearing sandals, wedges are our shoe of choice. The add something special to any outfit. And something about them make you feel like you are instantly on vacation. Come along and let us show you some of our favorites!

We all have that favorite pair of brown sandals. You know, the ones that go with everything? Well, if you can manage to part when them at any point this summer, these wedges just might fill the void. You can find them at Urban Outfitters! This pair is gorgeous. And the don't just have to go with dresses and skirts. Shorts and wedges is a great summer look!

Summertime is a great time to bring in some retro style to your everyday look. That classic, bombshell look never grow old! And it's so much fun. It's almost like dressing up! These Dolce and Gabbanna wedges hit the nail on the head. The back and white polka dot pattern and circle clasp bring such flair! And that floral graphic on the side? Too cool!

Wedges aren't always cute and flirty. They can be edgy too! This pair by Marc by Marc Jacobs is what we are talking about. They really make a statement! We love the solid black color. And the pattern underneath is cool too. Pair these with a pair of acid wash high waisted shorts and crop top. Now that's a good summer look.

Glittering gold

You know, we're always looking for pieces that can transition from one season to another. Classic pieces like this can effortlessly transition season after season, year after year. We think gold jewelry fits into this category. From bright colors in the summer, sweaters in the fall, neutrals in the winter and floral in the spring. Elle collected some great gold jewelry pieces and we'll share some of our favorites with you!


We're in love with this whimsical gold whistle necklace by J.Crew. It's so delicate and fun! This long necklace will work with so many outfits. Try it with a simple tank top for the summer or a button down top as we move into cooler weather. This is a piece you'll wear over and over again.


A simple pair of studs will really serve you well. They are so versatile. We love these gold, spherical asos stud earrings. The have a fun, vintage look to them. Their simple style makes them easy enough to wear with almost anything! We're talking sundresses to baggy sweaters. A simple pair of gold studs like these are a necessity!


We're swooning over this Giles and Brother skinny gold cuff. It's so sleek and delicate. It's going to look beautiful on your wrist. Wear it by on it's own or stack it with other brackets. It's great for casual summer outfits and semi formal fall evening looks. We don't think we can resist!

This Sarah Chloe heartbeat ring is just too cool! It's a great conversation piece. If you tend to lean towards unique, interesting jewelry, this one is for you. Rings are great for all seasons. They always add flair and fun to an outfit.

Peek-a-boo!

We've been getting some good temperatures out there! A sunny day here and there. Slowly but surely, spring is emerging. And we're a little too excited about it! Ready to show a little skin?

That's right. Off the shoulder tops! A little peek-a-boo shoulders action. We haven't seen them all winter long. It's time to give them a little sun! 




We think this look is great all summer long. We like this laid back, yet refined look. Like this Antik Batik peasant top!  It's got that cool, boho look. It could even make a great bathing suit cover up! Pair it with a long, layered necklace. What a beautiful look! 




Get ready. We're about to combine two of our favorite warm weather trends! Crop and off the shoulder tops! We said it! We love this one by H&M. It's nothing fancy but it pairs well with skirts and shorts! And you can show off that tummy. What an easy summer look. 





Looking for something in between? We got it. This top by Forever 21 is what you are looking for. This will show off just a little midriff. And it's going to be so stretchy and comfortable. We would pair this top with some crop pants. Such a beachy look. 

Are you ready to show a little shoulder? We sure are!! We're ready to sport this look all spring long.

Don't mind our flowery language...

Winter is coming. We know this Want to stray away from those winter neutrals? Or maybe you just want to mix something new in. We got the perfect thing! Floral! Yes. Floral in winter. Think we're crazy? Keep reading and you can be the judge!

A black dress can really serve you well any time of the year. Add a little something special and it's even better. We gave a tiny gasp when we saw this dress by Christopher Kane. Isn't it gorgeous? We love the scattered use of floral on this dress. And the colors really pop against the black of the dress. We think this is a great way to wear floral in the wintertime. Pair the floral print with a darker color. 

If it's pretty chilly where you are, pants are a must. Skirts and dresses might not be warm enough. Not to worry! Check out these floral pants! A little wild but pretty neat, right? And they are this great corduroy texture. That means warmth! Pair them with a solid color navy, cream or black blouse. You have the prefect lunch date outfit! 

Mix up your regular work wear. Add in a floral top to make you outfit really pop out! We like this one. The print is so interesting. It's not your typical floral pattern. And it will pair nicely with your own dress pants or skirt. Such a polished look! 

We hope we have inspired your winter wardrobe. Let us know what you think!

Let out your inner animal!

Who doesn't love a good animal print? I mean, we do! It's a great way to talk a walk on the wild side. You can make it really bold or super subtle.  And of course, we have a few favorites!

Skirts are our favorite thing to wear in fall. You can wear them with or without leggings or tights. Try them with boots or flats or even sneakers! Make it your own! We love this MSGM wool leopard skirt. It's super sexy! We would add a neutral black or tan top. Maybe add in a flash of red on you fingernails? So classy and fun! Perfect for work or a night out!

We can't deny it... We really love this Thakoon Addition coat. It's certainly a statement piece. Throw this coat over a neutral outfit to avoid clashing patterns. Try mixing bright colors like red and royal blue. It will really make you pop against the drab backdrop of winter!

Maybe you're not quite ready to rock a bold animal print all over your body... And that's okay! Small steps! Shoes are a great and subtle way to add animal print to your look. We are lusting over these Valentino flats. They are so rock glam! We're in love.

Show us how you rock animal print! Take to twitter and show us your stuff! Rawr!

Colors of fall

It's almost time for that first fall manicure! We're ready to do away with the bright summer colors and paint on some beautiful autumn shades. Elle featured 40 beautiful shades for fall. We're going to narrow it down to some of our favorites.


There's just something about a deep red color that instantly puts us in the fall mindset.  It's rich and makes a real statement. This almost ruby color is gorgeous. We are crazy about this Essie nail polish in Bordeaux. It's such a sexy color! And it will work great in the winter as well.


Not all fall nail polishes have to be dark. We think this blush is lovely. It's Italian Love Affair by OPI. Believe us, this is really going to lift your spirits mid fall. It will certainly warm your fall look up! This pink will look lovely against the tans, taupes and blacks of fall. We adore it!


Metallics are a must for fall. They add a harsh contrast to the muted colors of fall. We really love that look! It adds a bit of edge to all the warm and fuzzies of fall. Our favorite? Gunmetal grey. This one in particular. It's has so much depth and variety of color. We can't wait to put this one on our nails!

We hope we have pumped you up for that first fall manicure! It's certainly time for a polish change!

Summer dresses

Summer is on it's way and it's time to discuss one of our favorite things.... Sundresses! Oh, a good sundress is really happy making! What could be more perfect? They are light and airy so you can keep cool in that summer heat.

Wow! Check out the colors in this dress! We're in love with this Dolce and Gabbana sundress. The shape is so classic! This could easily be seen on any woman in the 50's or 60's. And the buttons are just precious. As far as styling, we would recommend a up-do. It's going to give more attention to the stripes and colors on the dress. Wear simple pearl earrings to continue the classic look the dress is bringing. Keep it simple and light! 

If you are fond of floral prints but a little bored by the same old same old, this Zara dress might be perfect for you! That's a whole lot of color!! But don't worry! You can pull it off! These colors are really going to pop against your tanned skin. And the simple shape is certain to flatter a variety of body types. Live it up before the summer is over! 

A bright colored sundress is a must have. Neutrals are great and all but nothing beats a pop of color! This Topshop dress certainly has that pop! It's a really beautiful shade of yellow. You're like a ray of sunshine! And the detail on the bodice adds a real soft, feminine look. Wear your hand down is loose, tossed curls. This is the perfect dress to wear as you soak in those last moments of summertime. 

Did you have a favorite sundress? Are you going to run out and treat your self to one of these? Do it! Trust us! You'll get plenty of time to wear it before the summer is over. And when it starts to get cool? Add a pair of oxfords and a chunky cardigan! It's so easy to transition your summer clothes to fall with just a few items!

Let's get nautical!

It's time to get nautical. Yeah, you heard us! Memorial Day has come and gone. We're ready to sport that seaside style. It's a great polished look that works all summer long by land and sea!

We can't resist a cute dress... especially if it's covered in anchors! Yeah, we're talking about this one by Oliver Bonas. It's the perfect dress for a lunch date by the water. Just add your own sandals and delicate gold jewelry. This is a piece you'll be going back to all summer long.

Have you found that perfect beach bag yet? Better hurry up! The beach is calling your name. You know what... we have just the thing! Check out this L.L Bean canvas tote! It's such a classic look. And plenty of room for all your necessities. And you can even have it monogrammed!

Even your bathing suit can have a nautical feel! It's especially fitting actually. Check out this suit! It's cute as button. It has that great classic shape! And the bow?! We can't even handle it. You'll be turning heads all summer long!

Here's a little bonus... Want to add a quick piece of nautical flair to your outfit? We have a quick fix! How about this cute bow? Take two small sections of hair from the front and use the clip to secure them in the back of your head. What a great look!

Easy and breezy!

Nothing beats a summer dress! It's a great way to stay both cool and cute! They are great for casual days and dressier events. And chances are, you'll have all sorts of fun events to go to this summer! Weddings, dinners and vacations! You'll want to look your best. There are some great sun dresses out there for summertime. Let's take a look!

Kate Spade is one of our favorite designers. We loved this Kate Spade Saturday shape shifter dress that they picked. We love the simple back and white line design. It's simple but adds some whimsy. And the cutouts on the side are very popular in dresses this year! We think this dress would work perfectly for more formal events. And the basic print allows for plenty of freedom in the accessories department!

Looking to add more color to your summer wardrobe? How about this printed floral dress from the Gap? How fun! We love the loud, blue, yellow and white print! It's simple circle skirt and short sleeved style top is pretty standard among summer dresses. It's going to be something easy to slip on quickly and head out the door. We recommend accessorizing with a small brown or black  braided belt to add to emphasis on your waist. Add pair with a pair of brown sandals for a  laid back, casual look.

This dress is so beautiful! It's a gorgeous printed maxi dress by Diane von Furstenburg. We love the vibrant pink background color and abstract white design. If this doesn't scream summer, we don't know what does! Going somewhere tropical this summer? Wouldn't this be the perfect thing to pack along to wear to dinner? Wear your hair back in a messy updo, wear a pair of wedges or dressier sandals and you have one great look.

Those were just a few of our favorites. Feel free to browse the list and see what your top 3 dresses are!
