Put A Spring in Your Step!

I find it so hard to pull together outfits in between seasons. By the time it is early spring I am SO tired of my winter wardrobe that even though it’s still chilly I am more then ready to shove my winter ware to the back of the closet and pull out my light and airy spring pieces! However, this will just leave you cold and miserable so how best to transition from your winter wardrobe you are sick of and is probably too heavy for the warmer days and into fresher spring items that aren’t too light weight for those still chilly nights? I have 5 pieces for you that will help you freshen up your outfits and make you feel springy but still keep you covered for that balmy trying oh so hard to be spring day!

 

1. a leather jacket in a lighter weight (leather is all the rage this spring) or just in a lighter color that will instantly feel fresh and not winter!

 

2. A jumpsuit! They come in so many fun colors and prints this year, and its still covering your legs so not too summery, AND easy to throw on a jacket!

3. So sick of black leggings and dark denim? Instant spring feel with distressed skinny jeans or denim in a lighter wash.

 

 

4. Can’t even look at your knee high riding boots or black suede booties? A short boot like this distressed moto in light tan or many of the pastel booties out right now will do the trick!

 

5. A cool layering piece to throw over everything. Light and silky to relieve you of the chunky knit you might throw out the window. Layer over skinnies, jumpsuits, maxis, you name it!

What to Wear?

Well girls, wedding season is upon us and you know what that means: showers, bachelorette parties, luncheons, engagement parties, and the multiple “big days” you will be attending. The underlying issue, the eternal question, the panic moment, WHAT TO WEAR? Have no fear we have a guide to get you through your ENTIRE wedding season with a breeze and many a style compliments heading your way.

A few tips before you peruse our carefully cultivated wedding season picks:

1. The main dictator of what to wear to a wedding is what time of day the ceremony is taking place and where’s the venue. That will tell you everything about the level of formality.

2. Always, always dress up and dress nice, even if the wedding is not exceptionally formal it shows respect to the bride and groom on their important day.

3. You can never go wrong with romantic and feminine, lace is a great go to!

4. It’s totally fine to wear black but try navy! Navy looks great on everyone and is a great alternative if you still feel black should not be worn to a wedding.

Mod Moment

The 60′s had some amazing style brought to life and solidified in fashion history by some serious style icons. Brigitte Bardot, Jane Birkin, Twiggy, and Jackie O are among some of the infamous. 60′s shift dresses, high necklines, short hem lines, boho hats, matte makeup, big statement jewelry, boots and chunky platforms still inspire us today. Andddd naturally, we were beyond excited to see spring’s runways having a serious Mod moment!

Black and White

They say in life nothing is black and white. Well that is not entirely true this season, at least according to the fashion gods. So much black and white came down the fall runways and what a beautiful sight it was! The contrast and the simplicity was so refreshing while still making a bold statement. Pair this look with a rich red or burgundy hue on your lips and you are instant glam! With all the color, prints, and embellishments this year I am feeling really attached to the sleekness and no nonsense of everything being just what it is… Black and White.

In the Navy

I am so happy to report that navy has made a strong come back this season. It is one of my favorite colors to pair with almost anything! Navy works as a neutral back to almost any bright, white or yes even black! We know the age old saying of not pairing black and navy together, but we don’t believe in that “rule!” The result? Navy and black is one of the chicest combinations. It adds an element of depth to your all black outfit that is subtle but noticeable all at the same time. I for one, am so excited to add even more navy to my wardrobe.

Poolside Manner

I will admit, I own more caftans then dresses. Crazy I know. But nothing says exotic vacation or elegant pool party better then a caftan, for this reason, as well as there are just so many gorgeous one’s, I am caftan crazy. Pairing a caftan over your swimsuit makes an instantly chic pool outfit. I love that you can lay out and then go to lunch and look instantly put together. On top of just a pool side look, add a little slip dress underneath and voila, now you are in a beautiful maxi dress. Here are some of my favs all courtesy of Net-A-Porter.com
