Show a Little Back…

 

On Saturday, I went shopping with my yogi gals.  One of the cutest trends that I was loving is an open back – even if it was just slight.  It is a look that is sexy and modest at the same time – I absolutely love that.  I am not one that loves low cut shirts, I don’t feel covered enough – but an open back I can do and feel confident.  I personally need to wear a bra, so I am a huge fan of throwing a little lace bralette under the fun flowy open back shirts.  Perfect for a summer day or evening look – especially if headed to an outdoor music festival.

 

 

 

Do you have any backless dresses?  Do you go braless?  or rock the Carrie Bradshaw look and confidently allow your bra to show?

Much love,

Five Loves…

 

How hott is this look?!  Yesterday I may have been wondering if I would dare with white pants, but she’s got me thinking it can look good – real good.

 

There is something about this image that I absolutely love.  I love the look.  I love the sitting down in public, not caring about what she could be laying in because she simple needs a break – we all have been there, just maybe all haven’t laid down on the steps.

 

Stack those rings.  Don’t mind if I do.  I can never seem to have enough rings on my fingers – love the way it looks.

 

The perfect look to run off to brunch without having to take too much time getting ready?!  Yes, yes it is.  This is totally one of my Saturday morning go-to’s.

 

This is my other Saturday morning go-to.  Coffee and a good book in bed – I absolutely love a slow Saturday morning.

What is your favorite Saturday morning treat?  Can you tell I am excited it is the weekend?

Much love,

Do You Dare {White Jeans}?!!

I love the look of a good clean pair of white jeans.  And so does everyone else these days it seems – or enough that it is certainly going to be a trend this summer.  The only thing is, white is not the most flattering color when it comes to pants and how the heck do you keep them clean?!  So, I was thinking, do I dare try this trend?!  Those thighs – no one wants to call attention to that area…but then I realized, isn’t this the same exact fear we all had years ago when skinnies came back on the radar?!  And now look at us, we are rocking those skinnies like it is our job.  So, I say no need to stress over the thighs and enjoy the trend if you like it.  Plus, it at least gives us an excuse to go shopping – but make sure to not splurge on the purchase unless you are certain you will wear them all the time.

 

So, lovies, will you be embracing the white jean trend?  Do you dare?  How would you style them?

Much love,

Just a Little Tie…

 

The trend is everywhere – the elastic hair tie with a little style added.  You can find these little gems in any color your heart desires, add a little sparkle to your pony tail at the office when you mean business – and when you take the hair down, it is a lot cuter on your wrist than a plain elastic hair tie.  I am one of those gals that cannot leave home without a least one hair tie – typically on my wrist.  Now, I love arm candy, but I do not love the look of black boring hair ties on my wrist, so this lovely trend is perfect for me.  I just make sure to select a color for the day that works with my outfit.  I tend to start the day with my hair down, but by the end of the day it is typically up – it is my sign to colleagues that I mean business at the office.  It can get pricy to buy them in every color, but the best part is they are super simple to DIY – no need to be little miss crafty to make these babies.

Have you jumped on the trendy soft elastic hair tie trend?  Are you more a fan of the plain or sparkles?

Much love,

Bohemian Dreams…

 

The sun is finally shinning and may stay out for a little while.  With that, lovies, it is time for summer fashion.  This week I am dreaming of a bohemian summer – some looks are perfect for a summer festival and then some even come in a pencil skirt so that bohemian spirit can even make it to the office.  Summer rays draw out that bohemian spirit in everyone, especially this little lady.   Bright and bold prints, paired with flowy tops of neutrals and layers of bangles create the perfect bohemian look.  If you tuck in that flowy shirt, it can be an office appropriate look, too.

 

 

 

Does summer bring out your inner bohemian spirit?  How do you make this style work for your day job?

Much love,

Bold & Beautiful {The Brow}…

 

A look can be changed with that finishing accessory or statement lip color.  However, that is not the only thing a woman can do to completely change her look and feel for a day.  This season a raising trend is to darken those brows to stand out in a bold and beautiful way.  I do not wear a bold brow every day because it does make such a statement but I love when I do.  There is something majestic and mysterious about a bold brow.  The woman with a bold brow leaves you wondering who is really behind such a beautiful and bold face.  This look can be accomplished by starting to clean up your brow with some tweezers and then using a pencil or highlighter.  I personally prefer to use the Bare Minerals Brow Kit – it has everything you need to create the perfect bold brow.

 

 

 

How do you feel about a bold brow?  Would you dare be so bold?

Much love,

Off the Grid…

 

Spring is here and with that so are spring fashion trends.  One of my current favs is the grid pattern.  They are popping up everywhere and it is such a fun way to work in a little pattern to your every day look.  I love when a good spring trend doesn’t have to hurt the pocket book, either because you can find cute options at all the trendy stores.  That is the best because then there is little risk in trying out a trend to see if it is a trend for you to fully embrace.

 

 

 

Are you all about the grid trend for spring?  Do you like it as a top, skirt, or full on ensemble?

Much love,

Dolled in Denim…

 

Now, denim is certainly a staple in most everyone’s closet, correct?!  At least a good pair of jeans.  It has lasted through the decades and is a look everyone can pull off.  However, denim does not always need to be on bottom.  In fact, it looks adorable as a top when paired with a cute spring print skirt – even a great look for the office.  Denim can also be paired on denim.  When the shades are complemented just right it looks fabulous, which happens to be one of my favorite trends raging as of late.  I seriously cannot get enough of this lovely fabric…

 

 

 

What is your favorite piece of denim in your closet?  Would you ever wear a denim top with a skirt to give it a more professional feel?

Much love,

B

Five Loves…

 

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,

B

Cuff & Roll…

 

Spring is here.  It is finally starting to warm up and the snow is melting – it is divine.  That means, it is time for one of my favorite looks for spring and summer.  Cuffed jeans.  Even better when you pair them with heels to give your look a little more class, but I also love a pair of TOMS or Chacos, too – staples for the Minnesota gal.  There is no need to put that favorite pair of jeans away for the warmer months.  If you need a little leg, and I mean a little, roll them up to give them a nice little cuff – it’s perfect.

 

 

How do you feel about the cuffed look?  What about for the gents out there?  I personally think this is a look for both genders.

Much love,

B
