Summer Fridays are the best, right? Ok so not everyones boss lets them dress this way to work but many of you get half days, right? Every once in awhile it’s great to dress down and this is the ideal summer Friday look! You can never go wrong with a lightweight chambray shirt and cargo shorts. I know summer is coming to end but there are still a few weeks left of warm weather so take advantage of these beautiful days! Oh, and you can wear a chambray shirt all year long so it’s definitely a great investment piece. (FYI it’s on sale and this rarely happens so… TGIF!

This past spring, the runways were filled with various shades of white; every tone imaginable from ivory to eggshell to cream and yes, vanilla (yum)! I personally love a monochromatic look no matter the color, but there is something about a white monochromatic outfit that takes fashion to the next level. Monochromatic dressing means wearing separates of one color that have different textures or similar shades of that color to create an overall solid toned look. This may sound a bit mundane but trust me, wearing one color is anything but boring! In fact, the outcome of a monochromatic outfit can be just as striking as wearing a vibrant color or pattern.

Ahh its vacation time and if you are anything like me it’s all about packing efficiently (and hopefully light)! With that being said, you always want to be prepared. For me that means having one bag… yes you heard me, one bag that can do it all!  No matter where you are traveling this August a crossbody is a must. In the city? Hello! Wow are you going to carry your ice coffee and take a selfie without a crossbody bag!? At the beach!? Carrying towels, coolers and chairs…crossbody all the way!   Continue Reading

I believe that the duster is here to stay! For a moment, I thought it might be a temporary trend but the duster is back this season! It’s actually a fab way to dress up any look. You all know how much I love a denim jacket but sometimes it’s nice to jazz things up a bit with a fun alternative such as a duster. Many  dusters are light enough to wear on a summer evening and “cool”enough to wear as more of a blazer look during the fall.
