Street Style – All Dressed Up …

imageIs it just us, or is the weather a little bi-polar this season? It seems as if the climate can’t decide on sunny and warm or cool and breezy.


And if the weather can’t make up it’s mind, we can’t make up ours on what to wear every day either! Easy solution? The day dress! Anything from a flirty sundress to a classic sheath or shirt dress works and whether they’re printed, colorful, striped, neutral tones, flared, maxi or mini, a dress is always a stylish and versatile option.


Simply throw it on and add a cute pair or sandals or boots (whatever the weather permits) and dress it as up or down as you please! A little cool? Add a cardigan or cropped jacket and thigh high socks or some tights for extra coverage that you can remove as needed!


A gal can never have too many dresses so click over to our “All Dressed Up!’ Collection for shopping inspiration!

Video Style Steal – Adele ‘Rolling In The Deep’

Got The Blues … And Loving It!

imageThis season, it’s all about wearing bright colors! Pop colors are eye catching and fun and stand out that much more in the sun!


While tangerine orange and electric pinks are great, they may be a little too loud to wear in a professional or dressier setting. Colbalt blue is an ‘it’ color this season with it’s bold, head turning hue and versatile qualities.


Bright blue shorts or flat sandals on the weekend look casual and cute while being just unique enough, while a fitted pencil skirt or cropped blazer are perfect for the office! Match cobalt blue accessories with cream and neutral tones for just a pop, or opt to try the new color clash colorblock trend (try lemon yellow or saturated plum) that’ll really help you stand out!


This is one time we love having the blues!
