Summer patterns: Gingham

We're in love with this sort of retro revival that's taking over the fashion world. Shows like Mad Men are bringing back some really classic looks. One of those looks is gingham. It's one of those basic and timeless patterns that really en captures summertime. Vogue collected some really beautiful pieces and we're sharing our favorites with you.

If Dorothy was to own a pair of sunglasses, we think she would pick these! How adorable are
these? Their shape is quite unique. The round lenses are really retro! And the gingham print is really fun. This is a really great way to spice it up and ditch those boring old shades!

Talk about a clash! We love the flair of this gingham bustier. Cute and sexy meet! This isn't just for the bedroom! This style top is super popular right now! it's okay to bear some tummy and let you hair down. Feel free to wear this to a concert or night out!

We would pair it with The Latex Store deluxe hot pants. It's going to be a great, sexy yet fun outfit! Pair it with some wedges and a cherry red lip for a really retro look.

What you're opinion on gingham? Is it coming back or is it just a flash in the pan? Share your thoughts on our twitter page! 

Jeepers Creepers! Protect your Peepers!

What's your favorite thing to wear in warm weather? Tank tops? Bathing suits? Sandals? We love all of those! But our favorite spring and summer accessory has to be sunglasses! They keep your peepers safe and come in so many shapes and colors. Today we are focusing on sunglasses!

We ran across several articles on sunglasses this weekend. Tis the season! Elle shared 45 sunglasses to update your look. We have to agree. Sometimes the perfect pair of sunglasses can complete change your look. Are you ready for a change this summer? 

These Kate Spade glasses made our top 5. We love the big lenses. They are so fun and over sized. And the Tiffany blue color is great for both spring and summer. Or how about these two toned round sunglasses from Nasty Gal. They are definitely in our price range and quite unique! The gold and neon pink color combination is also something we suspect will be very popular this summer. 

And of course, you can never go wrong with a classic, neutral pair of shades. We love these Jimmy Choo Cat-Eye Glasses. They remind us of Audrey Hepburn! They will easily transition from season to season... that is if you manage not to sit on them! Let's admit it! It happens to the best of us. 

Vogue is also talking sunglasses. They had some really fun choices! We loved these Persol glasses from the Sunglasses Hut. The hardware on this pair is really unique as well as the shape. We might need a pair! These glasses from J.Crew are also fabulous! We love the retro, 50's feel they bring. 

Don't you deserve a new pair of sunglasses? Your spring and summer shopping is never complete without a new pair...or two... or three! 

Easter Sunday Style

Believe it or not, Easter is this Sunday. It feels like it was just Christmas! Don't get us wrong. We're excited for this holiday that marks the start of spring. It's the perfect time to show off your new spring dress, hat or pair of shoes. If you're still deciding on what to wear, we can help! Here's our take on Easter Sunday fashion. 

When it comes to choosing what to wear, it's good to think cute but also modest. But that doesn't mean grandma style! Glamour magazine recently posted about Easter fashion. We loved all the pieces they showed us. Our favorite has to be the Kimchi blue Alabama dress from Urban Outfitters. It's a great loose-fitting shift dress. It's a great basic dress that is really easy to accessorize. This dress seems comfortable enough to wear all day long. Plus, it won't be completely impractical when you're dashing to and fro, searching for Easter eggs. 

We also loved the pair of brocade pants from J.Crew. They have such a fun design and are a bit dressier. We think they would look great paired with a white button down peter pan colored blouse, a gold statement necklace and ballet flats. It's a great way to look dressy but also stay comfortable. And we are all about comfort! 

We found another fun article on Vogue talking all about Easter hats. There are still some out there who go all out, sporting giant hats. But for those of us who aren't as daring, there are other choices! We loved the cloche hat. It's so retro and cute. And we find it to be festive and fun. If the one from Barneys isn't quite in your price range, we suggest Target! We just saw some adorable cloche styles hats in stock the other day. 

We hope our little Easter style guide has inspired you! And we wish you a Happy Easter! May the Easter bunny leave you the biggest chocolate bunny of them all! 

The early days of Spring: What to wear

We’re not really sure what to think of March. Here in Houston, TX, our warm days are beginning to out number the cooler ones. But, some states are still getting snow and ice. Yet our calendars tell us that today is the first day of spring and our clocks have sprung forward.

We were just reading an article on Vogue.com talking about this awkward time as the season change and what to wear.  We’re all growing tired of coats and scarves; and we are aching for sandals and sun hats.  We will get there soon enough! Soon we will be wishing for cooler weather.

Take this time to wear those favorite winter pieces you adore but add in some spring pieces your dying to wear out. Pop your new sleeveless, button-down blouse under one of your favorite sweaters. And if you dare, mix some new spring jewelry in where you can. And of course, sneak in some bright colors. We think bright tights and scarves could really mix up your boring winter ensembles.

If the weather is right, you can even start to incorporate some spring skirts. Recently, Elle shared their favorite 32 skirts for spring. We think this floral pencil skirt from Stella McCarthy is perfect. Or if you crave a different style, this A-line floral skirt from Top Shop is great too!  Both pieces can be worn with tights on colder days and without them when the weather is right. And the floral ties in that promise of spring right around the corner.

So, we dare you all start sporting spring fashion underneath your coats and jackets. And remember, spring is just around the corner.
