Oh eyelet!

Nothing says springtime like eyelet! It's such a classic, classy look. And it will keep you cool as it heats up out there. Who's ready for some eyelet?!

Eyelet is so crisp looking. So polished and refined. These shorts really capture that look. We think these would really set the tone of your outfit. Add a bright colored blouse and both colors will really pop. And you are sure to stay cool!

Weddings and social gatherings speckle your calendar all summer-long! And most of them are outside... in the heat. You need to keep cool. This Juicy Couture dress our pick. It's gorgeous. And bustier style is so stylish. Take it any way you want. Add a flower in your hair for a laid back look or a statement necklace for a refined look.

It's important to protect your head from the sun! Have you ever had sunburn on your scalp? It's not fun. But baseball caps are so sporty... not for us! This eyelet one is a little more our speed. It's girly and perfect for a beach day. It's one of our top picks!

Bathing Beauty

Hey you! We're here to tell you that one piece bathing suits are officially in. And this isn't your mother's one piece suit. No, not by a long shot. This is something you do not want to be. Let's transform you into your inner bathing beauty!

Oh, we are excited! Why? Because one piece suits aren't frumpy anymore!! In fact, we think this one by Dolce and Gabbana is cuter than your average two piece. It has some true retro flair. And that halter style top is perfect for a day out on the beach.

There's just something about a red bathing suit. That pop of bright color stands out against the summer sun and surf. And it's absolutely gorgeous. Like this Lisa Marie Fernandez creation. Not your typical one piece! You'll be showing plenty off, don't you worry. And we adore that white sash. Fab!

Let's go in a completely different direction. Like this crocheted one piece from Urban Outfitters. Any hippies out there? Or hippies at heart? This suit is too cool. The color and texture combination is so unique. Pair this suit with a pair of jean shorts and you'll have a pretty cool outfit as well.

So, upward and onward to poolsides and ocean shores! We're ready when you are, summertime!

Checks on checks!

We're calling it! It's springtime! And 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.

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! 

Hello spring!

Springtime is here! You know what we want to put on and never take off.... Sundresses! Oh, a good sundress is a wonderful thing ! What could be more perfect? They are light and airy so you can keep cool in that warm weather 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. 

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 to a springtime wedding or Easter dinner. 

Did you have a favorite sundress? Are you going to run out and treat your self to one of these? Do it! Trust us! 

Groovy baby!

Happy first day of Spring! We told you there was a light at the end of that cold, snowy tunnel. So bring on the sunshine and flowers! Makes you want to embrace your inner flower child, huh? Well you are in luck. 70's fashion is back in for spring and summer. It's time for our version of flashback Friday!

You know what makes us think of the 70's? Wild, psychedelic patterns. Paisleys and all. Like this groovy frock by Topshop. Yeah, that's a lot of pattern. But we think it's really chic! Add in some basic gold jewelry and simple sandals. We think it's a great daytime look for the spring time. Embrace the colors of the season! 

You know what's coming next. Fringe! You'll see it on boots, clothing and even bikini tops. But we think it looks great on handbags. Just like this brown fringe bag by Laura Vela. This the exact bag we want to bring with us on all those spring adventures. And the tassels? Perfect! 

Now you don't have to go all out in bell bottoms and suede vests. We think little touches are great too. A piece here or there, with that 70's vibe. Like this beautiful statement necklace by Zara. We think it's a real conversation piece. And so different! It would look great against a basic black or white top. 

Are you digging this 70's vibe for spring? Either way, spring is here! Be sure to celebrate those rising temperatures. Have a great weekend!

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. 

Florals for spring

We're a week away from the first day of spring! And we thought we would cover floral on the blog today. They are a no brainer for spring. And we hit the mother load on a whole bunch of cute, floral accessories. Here are just a few of our favorites.

Time to combine two of our favorite trends: floral and statement necklaces! We've seen some beautiful ones before. But this one takes the cake! We can't get over this piece by Topshop! We love the mix of pastels, vibrant colors and metals. You don't know what to focus on. It's a little loud but so gorgeous!  This will really make your outfit pop!

Who needs a new pair of shades? You do! And so do we... We pick this pair by Toms! We're crazy about the shape and retro feel of these glasses. They almost look like cat eye glasses. And of course, a pop of floral! Protect those peepers!

And we can't take on spring and summer without a tote! They are perfect for taking along with you on trips to the pool or beach. If you have lots of stuff to tote, this is the way to go! And we love this one by Gap! We love that large floral print. So eye catching.

So get your floral on! It's only fitting!
