Five Loves…

 

Hott.  I absolutely love the little booties with shorts.

 

I love all the delicate jewels.  Simply elegant.

 

A simple low bun is lovely for a day when you are on the go.

 

A gal can never have too many hats.  I love this one so much.

 

This is the perfect summer work look – and who doesn’t like taking an extended coffee break with a friend in the summer to enjoy sitting outdoors.  I know I certainly love it.

Are you ready for summer?  The long weekend that turns is upon us, what does it have you loving?

Much love,

Strap Happy…

 

This summer is all about the strappy heel.  A sexy, sleek, minimal look for every woman.  These fabulous sandals do not  have to be paired with a cute little dress, though that is always a great option.  They also look adorable with cuffed jeans and a flowy top.  They transform that casual day look to an evening look in moments.  The only thing you need to make sure with these stunning little shoes is make sure you give yourself a pedicure.  Take the few minutes to put a fun color on your toes – no need to do anything crazy if that is not your style, but you should put something on them.  It will make the strappy sandal look that much more fabulous on your feet!

 

 

 

Do you have a pair of sexy strappy sandals for summer?  Do you ever throw them on with jeans?  Or just style them with dresses?

Much love,

The perfect spring and summer hat.  I have been on the hunt for one very similar to this – and by on the hunt, I really mean looking at pictures since I have not really made time to go shopping.  I should do something about that.

 

It is almost blueberry season.  That basically means when I get anything in blueberry flavor that I can – it just tastes so good.  I love the rich color of blueish-purple that has the perfect amount of sweetness and bitterness that kiss perfectly.

 

How fun and beautiful are these long maxis?!  They scream spring easing into summer and needing to head to a music festival or stroll around the lakes…or maybe that last part is just my six-month cooped-up self is feeling – either way, I want one of these lovely dresses.

 

These shoes are amazing.  Paired with the super cute pink pants.  Hello spring, I love you and have missed you so is what this stunning combo is saying and I would like to second it – all of it.

 

I love every aspect of Samantha Hutchinson’s whole look here, but especially those pants.  May I please find a pair for my own and then pair them with a blazer and say it is okay for the office?!!  I totally think I could make that work…and if not, who cares?!  They are hot and would be perfect for an evening or weekend look .  Purchase justified?!  I think so.

Are you getting spring fever?  Is it spring for you yet?  Does spring fever ever translate into your closet getting a little face lift??  What is on the top of your spring shopping list?

Much love,

Lets Get to the Point…

I love a good heel.  It adds some height.  Lengthens out your leg.  And lets be honest, makes every lady look a little bit sexier.  So, naturally I am excited to see that not only is there a heel trending, but pointed heels are trending for this spring.  My favorite!  I have every style of heel, but my favorite is a pointed toe.  It means business.  It is sleek and chic.  It can be paired with a pair of jeans and a tee, and suddenly you have a more feminine chic look.  Love that.  It doesn’t have to be a sky high stiletto  either – lower heels with a pointed toe still look fabulous.  Plus, I love the sound they make when walking down the street or hallways – don’t get in the way of a lady with these heels on or you’ll be sorry.

 

Are you a heel wearer?  How do you feel about the pointed toe?  How would you make a pair work with your style?

Much love,

B

I’m Only Happy when it Rains…

 

Okay, I certainly am not only happy when it rains, but I sure do love the rain.  It washes away the ick of winter and brings things to life.  Plus, it is a fabulous excuse to wear one of my favorite footing items – rain boots.  When I put on my Hunter rain boots, I feel like I can take on anything – or at least any puddle that may come my way.  Warmer rain is the best because you can jump in the puddles and dance in the rain – there is something truly amazing about being able to let go of any care and embrace that moment that is so exhilarating.  Now, that may not leave you looking the most fashionable, but at least you will have fabulous boots on to go with your soaked look… Rain boots are a more playful boot that allows any woman to let out her inner child by taking a bolder stance with a bright fun color or pattern.  Though classic black even shows a fun side because rain boots in and of themselves give the impression that you are not afraid of a little rain…

Do you have rain boots?  How do you style them?  Do you allow yourself to let go and play in the rain?

Much love,

It’s a Thing {Socks & Sandals}…

 

Socks and heels is a thing, and now this spring the sandals want in on the fun, too.  Especially when it comes to a good pair of Birkenstocks, which as a northern Minnesota girl I am all about.  It also appears this spring the outdoorsy gals will not be the only ones wearing a more hardy pair of sandals, which our feet will love us for, because they are certainly making a statement.  I love that a very natural and practical sandal can be paired with a cute spring or summer look and still be fashionable.  That is what I call a practical fashionista – and we all know we need a day or two like that!

 

 

Will you be rocking the socks and sandals look?  How about with some birks of your own?

Much love,

Fun pants and shoes – dressed as every woman should be that has to go to the office.  Who says we cannot be fashionable and fun at the office?  Love it.

 

Seriously – melts my heart.  I love kittens and this picture snatched my heart the moment I laid eyes on it.

 

Her style is fabulous.  I absolutely adore it.  May I please have this entire look? Love.

 

Little fashionistas.  Love them.  Melts my heart.

 

Glittery gold gets me every time.  Oh how I adore this fabulous look and that glitters can be enjoyed in the daylight.

What are you loving as we begin this fine March?

Much love,

I love her hair.  I love her hair so much that the other night when I laid eyes on it I immediately scheduled a hair appointment for an ombre treatment to my locks.  I have had grown out blonde chunky highlights for son long, it seemed like the best idea to change up my look some.  When I get inspiration, I go with it, instantly.

 

I love tattoos and have been craving another.  Specifically, one on my mid back like this. I would prefer a design similar to this but more with an elephant in it, I know shocking – I want an elephant tattoo.  This is serving as inspiration to get on the designing of my next one…

 

Her look is stylish, chic and simple.  A lovely lady inspiring me this fine Friday.

 

Winter refuses to leave.  So, I am taking this photo and using it as my inspiration to go have fun and play in the snow.  Have to make the most out of everything, right?!!

 

I am absolutely obsessed with these stunning new shoes that I simply had to have the other day when I laid eyes on them.  I still was on the hunt for the perfect Valentine’s Day outfit.  These little gems were the perfect inspiration to be the muse for my whole look, so naturally I had to purchase them – plus, I got 20% off for having on red (which happened to be a pair of Christmas socks due to it being laundry day – worked out well for me)!!

What are you drawing inspiration from this week and loving?

Much love,

Let’s Cap it Off…

 

Flats or pumps – I am loving a toe that is capped off with a different material.  The most common to see is a gold or metallic.  They are so fun – I seriously cannot get enough of them.  I think I really have been on an extreme shoe kick recently, but all I want to do is buy shoes (do not worry – I have been responsible and refrained) – there are so many stunning pairs out there that would look perfect on my feet.  Plus, this style is fun for the office, but still professional looking and translates into an evening look perfectly.

How do you feel about the cap-toe trend?  And is anyone else feeling a shoe shopping craving?

Much love,

B

These Alexander McQueen’s make me speechless.  Love at first sight.

 

And these Christian Louboutin’s are the grown up version of ruby red slippers.  Wouldn’t mind clicking my heels in these.

 

These brightly colored peep toe heels would be perfect for the first spring days.

 

After running around in all those fabulous heels, I am going to need a fabulous pair of flats to give my little feet a break – and these would be perfect.

 

Yes.  Words to live by.  And on that note, I think we may be in need of some retail therapy – starting with shoes.

What is your favorite thing to go shopping for?  Shoes?  Bags?  Clothes?  Or something else?

Much love,

B
