Delicate Dressing: Flutter Sleeve Frocks

The detail style of a sleeve may seem small and unimportant but it doesn’t have to be – and these flutter-sleeved dresses prove, in fact, that it shouldn’t be! These would all be great dresses on their own, no matter what the sleeve style. But the great thing about a flutter sleeve is that it adds an element of whimsy and flirty-ness to a number of looks. All these dresses are completely different styles. You have your traditional, classic-yet-of-the-moment wrap dress, an a-line baby doll, and an empire waist graphic floral number that looks like it’s be great to go out in. Each one is definitely augmented by the addition of a fluttery sleeve. And don’t be worried about the extra detailing drawing too much attention to your arms – if you have shoulders you’re less than proud of. As is the case with the wrap dress, there are plenty of options that offer a longer sleeve which can be the perfect solution! For more spring trends click on over to The Find!

Style Essentials: Our Top Ten Comfortable And Stylish Cardigans

If you were to send me off to a desert island and only allowed me to bring 5 pieces of clothing, one of those items would definitely be a cardigan. At any given moment you can find me wearing a cardigan while eating brunch with friends, running errands around town, or even going out dancing. It’s one of the most versatile pieces of clothing a person can have! It’s great in wintertime for some serious cold weather layering or wear it as a light jacket in the warmer months. There are lots of cardigan styles out there and while all of them would look good with jeans and a t-shirt (then again, what doesn’t look good with jeans?), some may look funny if you pair it with a dress. I know I’m not alone in loving cardigans. As the press is going wild over Michelle Obama and her clothing choices, one of her style signatures is a cardigan. Whether she’s wearing one over a sheath dress or slacks, she always manages to look fabulous. What’s her secret? It’s all about the proportions and how clothing falls on the curves of your body. That means you should always buy something that fits you and not the mannequin! Keep reading for a taste of our top 10 cardigan styles and how to wear them, and be sure to check out the slideshow for more ideas.

Let a sheer gown be the reason! Your wedding day is your day to shine and show off.

Choose from these picks that all grant the freedom to flaunt but still carry enough class not to provoke protest among bitter-ended (and really, just jealous) relatives!

Hot In The Hive: Jeweled Animal Rings

I’m the kind of person who loves to find and wear distinctive accessories for any occasion. Nothing beats dressing up a plain blazer with a few distinctive pins I borrowed from my grandmother’s bureau or stacking a bunch of bracelets together on one arm. And when it comes to rings, the gaudier the better! Cocktail rings aren’t reserved just for cocktail hour anymore, so why not wear the biggest, flashiest one you can find? One thing to keep in mind though: to avoid looking like an aging matriarch from a soap opera, I suggest sticking to just one ring. That means you should make it count, embrace the animal kingdom and slip on a jeweled animal ring. Whether it’s the octopus, parrot, or elephant, it’ll be sure to spark up some interesting conversation! Now the biggest problem is choosing your favorite!

Price: $178
Who Found It: facadeindreams was the first to add the Jeweled Animal Rings to the Hive.

Influential International Style: Alexa Chung

Sometimes, when you see a girl with seemingly effortless style that you know you would look ridiculous in, even if you were wearing literally the exact same clothes, it can make you jealous. Okay, maybe that’s just me. But in the case of British model/television host Alexa Chung, it just makes you want to be her slightly less cool friend. Having modeled for the likes of Urban Outfitters, Antipodium and Vivienne Westwood, it figures that her style boasts eclectic choices as well as informed classics. Think mixing white t-shirts with fancy shorts and a simple tote bag, pairing it with messy hair and actually not looking insane. She takes experimental choices on red carpets, always, always dresses for her own body, and always looks comfortable in her own skin. Check out my slideshow for ways you can mimic the lovely Alexa Chung’s style and maybe someone will want to be your slightly less cool friend!
