Poncho Please!

I've been crushing on ponchos and over-sized sweaters this season. Easy to wear and pair with leggings, denim or leather. Make sure to choose a bottom with a slim fit to balance out the top heavy silhouette. Since my poncho is muted, I like the leather detail around the collar. You can also add detail with a printed or fringed poncho.

Summer Shades

The summer days are drifting away and I'm feeling nautically inspired and pairing navy and white. Though, a disbeliever of the "no white after Labor Day" rule, I'm trying to get in all the white I can before the fall air arrives.

Classic Khaki

Adding accessories can bring an outfit to life. While I admit, the changes on this outfit are minimal; accessories add to a otherwise lackluster khaki dress. The leather "H" belt was such a great find and I can't wait to adorn more attire with it.

Gray Day

Every woman should own an effortless, cotton dress. This is one of mine. It is a throw on and go frock that I can dress up or down; add flats or sandals; jewels or none. The simple shift is comfortable with a cool subdued gray tone and gold zipper pockets. To add some shine, I layered on a favorite Moon & Lola tiered necklace.

Summery Citrus

Why not add some zest to your summer wardrobe with a playful citrus printed skirt? I love the summery feel and bright pop the lemons bring to the outfit. The navy top is a subtle color combo, but the possibilities or options are endless. (stripes, a bold colored tank...)

It's Electric

Not to give the sun any competition, but neon is a summer favorite. This killer combination of tribal design and vibrant color is the perfect wardrobe refresher. The dress is day to night perfection. Not to take away from the dress, simple wedges were a subtle addition. The casual, cool fringe back brings the look together.

Unabashedly Bright

Lilly Pulitzer is almost a southern staple, but you don't have to be a college sorority girl to pull off the cheery prints. My love hate relationship for Lilly continues as I gravitate towards to vibrant colors but shun some of the loud florals that hung in my closet in the year 2000. This simple cotton dress boasts color, but the busy pattern consists of swirls, dots and even a lion if you look closely. I'm a fan of the Palm Beach inspired island attire on this toasty humid day!

White Weather

Though I never abide by the rule to wait and wear white after Labor Day, it's officially the season where it's acceptable to obsessively wear white! Not only is it cool on sun blazing days, but the hue is crisp and effortless. Pair your most eclectic and vibrant accessories to pack a punch against the soft palette. Today's combination is clean white with gold accessories plus a little fun with tortoise and turquoise earrings.

Pattern Pop

I'm always looking for ways to take a basic item and amplify it. Pants are easy; no tights required. As much as I've been doting on pants this season, I was on the lookout for a pant that popped. I fell in love with the black medallion print against regal red. My monogram craze is in full swing and what better way to show off new initials than against cashmere?
