Black and white striped jeans are our wish list. And this pair of black and white striped jeans by Hudson are really up our alley! They are quite a statement. Depending on what you wear on to top, you can really dress these up or rock them out. We find them to to be really versatile.

Warm weather isn't that far away... And this swimsuit takes us straight back to the 1950's! We're in love with this two piece bandeau swimsuit by Norma Kamali. It's a very different style from most of the suits we're seeing this summer. The twisted style of the top is so interesting! You'll surely gain a few compliments in this bathing suit!

What a classic pair of heels by Zara! These shoes will easily transition with the seasons and years. The basic style and classic color scheme are so versatile. We think these would look great paired with any of our dresses. If you're looking for a new pair of heels, these could be just the pair!

Focus on gold jewelry!

As we began to plan out our fall wardrobes, we're always looking for pieces that can work in every season. These timeless pieces can effortlessly transition season after season, year after year. Gold jewelry falls 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.

Summer is halfway over and we have yet to cover one of our favorite summer clothing items.... Sundresses! Oh, a good sundress really put a smile on our face. They are the perfect late summer clothing item. They are light and airy so you can keep cool in that August heat. And they are an easy option! You only need to pick out one clothing item. How easy is that!

Elle shared 18 summer sundresses to wear right now. We loved all of them but we're just going to share a few with you today. Let's jump on in! 

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!

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!
