My Style: Blue Eyelet Dress

Have you noticed that eyelet is just about everywhere in stores lately? Eyelet dresses, eyelet skirts, eyelet shirts – they’re invading clothing racks everywhere.

Blue Eyelet LOFT Dress

I’m not upset about it. There is something about eyelet that screams “summer,” don’t you think? I know it does for me. So, when I spotted this bright colored blue eyelet dress at LOFT this past weekend, I knew it had to be mine.  I love that the fabric is such a bright color (not only is it blue, but the lining underneath the eyelet is a bright kelly green hue) – eyelet doesn’t just have to be a soft shade!

Mixing Prints: Floral

Today I’ve got a fun collaboration to share with you! My blog friend Lauren, from Fizz and Frosting, asked me to team up with her to showcase two different takes on the same trend.

The fashion trend today – mixing prints…featuring floral! We each took our own spin, and it’s been fun to see how it turned out.

My Warm Weather Uniform

The temperatures almost reached 90 last week. Can you believe that? I know that some of you out there are still experiencing snow on the ground, so the prospect of steamy 90 degrees is almost unthinkable. I actually don’t think I’m ready for it myself.

Well, it seems as though it is time to start breaking out my warm weather wardrobe. Do you tend to have a particular style of clothing you wear when the temperatures rise? I know I do.

Black, White, and Yellow in Prabal Gurung

Have you noticed that black and white is oh so popular right now? Well, to be fair: does black and white EVER go out of style???

Prabal Gurung black and white skirt outfit

When the Prabal Gurung for Target collaboration came out a few months back, I found myself at the store the day of the launch…trying on every piece from the collection. Of all the collaborations so far, this was one of the more memorable ones for me. I didn’t want to buy something “just to buy it,” but when I zipped up this skirt I was definitely hooked.
