Something blue

It's so hard to stay in the moment. We're always looking towards the next thing, planning ahead. It's a good habit for sure. But it's also important to be present. So on that note, we want to think on spring! It's absolutely lovely out there and we have been waiting all winter long. So, let's breathe some life into that closet of yours. It's easy!

If this doesn't say spring, we really don't know what does! This shift from Rejina Pyo is just the look we are going for this season. Light blue material and straps. Easy to pair with a sweater or cardigan on chilly mornings. And can we talk about the precious button detail? What a great piece for everyday wear. Perfect for all those adventures you'll be going on! Just pair with a basic pair of white sneakers and go!

Jean is big right now! Shorts, pants, skirts, overalls... you name it! Even dresses. Just like this piece from J. Crew. It's a bold piece but is actually a rather playful look. Once again, we're all about those buttons! And it can easily be dressed up or down. We would pair this dress with light floral prints for the day. Maybe a scarf worn in the hair or belt? And go for bold solid colors for an evening look!!

Eyelet you a lot!

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!

Scuba Style

Have you checked put neoprene yet? You know, scuba suit material! It's popping up everywhere. This high tech fabric is hot! Check out a few of our favorites.

We're big fans of neoprene! It has a cool feel to it. And it really hugs to your body. Here's a great example of that! This dress by MSGM. The pleats are just lovely. We love how the begin in the bodice and extend down. Such a slimming look! And the maroon color? It's going to look great in every season!

A basic skirt is a must! We're sure you have your little latex skirt. And a body con skirt is great for a night out! A neoprene skirt might just be your new favorite. Like this skirt by Kenzo. It's the perfect flash of color! Dress it up or dress it down. It's up to you!

Going for a casual look? We have just the thing. Check out this sweatshirt by Alexander Wang. It looks like jersey but it's neoprene! It's going to guarantee a cool, modern look. Pair it with a pair of print leggings and a statement necklace for a daytime look. Try something a little different!

Summer fun

Who is ready for beach days, patio dining, and grilling out?? We are! Those days are on their way. And we want to be ready. Every girl needs a few cute, summertime dresses in her back pocket.We collected a few that really inspire and excite us.

Our go-to this spring and summer, daytime and evening? Maxi skirts and dresses! We love the boho, laid back feel they have. It's an easy look to pull off. The sweatpants of summertime, if you will! We think this one by Zara is perfect for an evening out. The bold print is gorgeous. And we think the v-neck would look great on some many body types. Pop on your sandals or wedges and you're out the door!

Soon you will be sporting a tan. And a lighter color dress looks so great against tanned, summer skin. Whether it be poolside or out on the town. Check out this gingham sundress by Modcloth! Well, we aren't in Kansas anymore! We love the strappy tank top and flow-y skirt. This would be a great outfit pick for Memorial Day later on this month!

A little floral dress is a great thing to keep in your back pocket. It will do in a pinch! Put it over your bathing suit or wear it out to lunch! Our pick this time around? This beautiful dress by Band of Outsiders! It that great flow-y and fun shape. It's going to work for so many different events. A great everyday dress too!

Hopefully this will keep you inspired as things start to heat up! Keep it fresh and fun!

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! 

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!

Bye boots! Hello sandals!

We can't forget about spring and summer shoes! They can really add the perfect touch to your summer look. This season, we encourage you to go wild! We want to see colors and patterns galore. Let's go crazy!

Let's ease into sandals and wedges. How about a nice flat? This pair by Sigerson Morrison are simple in design and look great with both skirts and pants. That little strap around the ankle is to die for! And what a fun color! These would be great to wear to work. Add in fun summertime style without break the dress code? Score! 

Wow! These sandals by French Connection are too cool! The color combination is so striking! They will certainly add a twist to your style. How fun! We love the mixture of colors and texture. And the thick straps will give your foot plenty of support. What more could we ask for?

Nothing says summer like sandals. That's all we wear during the summer. These gladiator style pair from Freepeople are very tempting! We're really digging the bright neon green-yellow trim. These are everyday shows with a bit of a pop! They go a bit out of your comfort zone but still easily fit in with the rest of your wardrobe. They can be worn for casual and semi formal events all summer long. 

Now, raise your hand if you're going shoe shopping this weekend. Or right now... We know we are! Share your fun spring and summer shoe wear with us on Twitter! 

Rainy days are on the way!

Those spring showers are on the way! And we'll take them over all this snow. And after all, it's what makes the flowers grow! If you're going to be splashing in puddles soon, you might as well be properly outfitted! Here are few rainy day items that we have our eye on.

First things first! Rain boots are a necessity for a rainy day. Nobody likes wet feet! Try this pair from Modcloth on for size. They have that classic shape with a adjustable buckle on the back. We think they are so much fun! They will help you pull off a polished rainy day look.

You're nothing without a good raincoat! It's the only way to salvage your outfit. And you can really show off your style. Let's keep that classic style flowing. This Chloe trench coat is classic rainy day style with a little twist. We love all the little details like
the buttons and belt!

Let's go ahead and finish off that rainy day look. When you're caught in downpour, you want to be without this. An umbrella! You have to have one! We're rather fond of this one by Hunter. The bubble shape is fun and super effective when it comes to keeping you dry!

Let's talk gingham!

Getting a bit tired of all the floral prints? It's okay to admit. To be honest, we are too. But good news! There's another print moving onto the scene. It's nothing new but it's classic! Say hello to gingham!

Bralets are perfect for spring and summer! They have a real fun look! So sweet yet sexy! Check out this one by Topshop. It has a fun little peplum around the bottom. We would love to see this paired with one of our own latex skirts. What a look that would be! 

We all seem to be a bit Mad Men crazy right now. Who else is loving all the outfits? Maybe you want to give the retro look a go? This dress is just the thing! We're head over heels for this Oscar De La Renta dress! So many things to say... That collar, the belt and pencil skirt! It's the whole package! You'll never want to shimmy out of this one. 

You don't really any more Americana than this! We're loving this gingham skirt by Stella Jean! It has such a classic shape to it. And bigger check print really works. We can't help but think about the fourth of July! Wouldn't this be fun to wear while watching the fireworks?! 

So gingham? We think we'll be sporting it this spring and summer. Such a classic!
