We love a good Michael Kors bag. So classic and smart looking. He does totes too! Just look at this one. What a gorgeous bag! We love the shape of this tote. And we have no doubt it will hold everything you'll need. Just throw your lunch in on your way out the door and you're ready for the day!

Maybe simplicity for you is a smaller bag. Not a problem! Check out this smaller, structured tote. It's a little bit more manageable and more portable. If you don't need to tote as many things around, this might be the bag for you! We think this is a great work bag!

Maybe you are longing for a pop of color? We have a tote for that too! Check out this bright red bag by Rebecca Minkoff. Gorgeous! We love the box bottom on this bag. It makes it easier to find things when you set it down. It gives a great amount of structure to this bag. What a beauty!

Stepping up

During the summertime, we're usually wearing sandals. You can check out some of styles we are sporting here! 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. Michael Kors know his shoes alright! 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! We could see these beauties poolside with your favorite solid colored bathing suit.

All this talk about wedges wouldn't be complete without a brightly colored pair. Wedges look great in bright, candy-colored colors. They really make a statement! Like this pair by Christian Louboutin. The studs in the matching pink color are really eye-catching. These are perfect for evenings out!

Warm and cozy

It doesn't quite feel like fall yet. It's still pretty warm outside! And we really wish it would be a bit cooler outside. We can't help but dream of bundling up. Shearling is in! That fur look is very popular this late fall and winter. We'll share some of our favorites with you!

Furry vests. We admit, we love them! They are kind of neat and out there. But they are warm and add a bit of high fashion to your wardrobe. You'll be a winter goddess! This white fur vest from Michael Kors is really wonderful. Wear a solid color long sleeve tee underneath and pair it with a bold statement necklace.

We really like this crystal wildflowers necklace from J. Crew. It looks like ice and really rounds out this winter princess look.

These Burberry boots are way cool! We love the heeled ankle style boot right now. You can wear them with pants, leggings and skirts. And these add in the shearling aspect quite well. And they are going to be quite cozy on your feet. They are like a high fashion bootie and a pair of work boots had a love child. We're digging it! Try pairing them with plaid for a more femine lumberjack kind of look. Let's get cozy!

Cooler weather will be here before we know it! Get out there and start picking out the softest sweaters and warmest boots for winter!

April showers bring May flowers

You've heard it said before. April showers bring May flowers. And it's true! Spring means rainy days a plenty for most of us. But before you go splashing around in puddles, you'll want to make sure you have the right gear. Looking like a drowned rat is not in this season! So lets talk rainy day fashions.

A good raincoat is key. It's going to provide protection from the rain and save your cute outfit underneath! And there are tons of styles and colors out there. Elle recently posted on their favorite rainy day fashion.

One of favorites was this parka style coat by Michael Kors. If it's still chilly where you live, this style will really suite you. It protects you from both the rain and cold. And the blue is a great bright color, perfect for spring! It also has an almost military style feel that's really popular this season. It's a great basic jacket you can wear over and over again.

 A trench coat is also a great option for rainy days. We love the classic old Hollywood feel they have. You'll feel like you're in Singing in the Rain! This one by Rhyme Los Angeles is great spin on the classic trench. We love the slouchy, comfortable look it has. We think it will work great for warmer days when a thicker, longer coat isn't needed.

We have covered jackets, now onto boots! You don't want to get your feet wet. We love the boots Elle choose. Our favorites were the Hunter original short gloss boots. This company is a classic. And their boots come in a variety of both  vibrant and neutral colors. We recommend wisteria for spring! It's a beautiful lilac purple that will really pop against those dreary rainy days.

We haven't forgotten the umbrella. For days that promise heavy rainfall, you won't want to be without one! Bubble umbrellas are very popular.
They provide even more protection from the rain. We adore the two that Elle shared! But, if you need to get one quickly, we've seen them at Target with different colored trim and handles.

We hope we have convinced you that rainy days are too bad. In fact, they can be fun and colorful! Rain, rain don't go away! We want you to stay and play!
