Blackout

Though I'm a self proclaimed color enthusiast, black is such an easy color to wear. Today is black on black with the addition of a scarf and a little gold bling for contrast.

Safari Scarf

Today's casual look combines a khaki (yes, two outfits involving khaki in a row!) skirt with your standard stripe top. Mixing prints is a fashion favorite and adding a light weight scarf with wild safari elements amps up a basic look. Feeling the urge for color, I'm prancing around in green suede flats. 

Skirt: Banana Republic; Top: Target (Great Option Here); Scarf: DVF (Similar Colors Here); Flats: H&M (On Sale Here); Jewels: Margaret Elizabeth Bangle, Michele Watch, David Yurman, Chanel Earrings

Jetset Inspiration

The Moroccan inspiration to this skirt makes me want to pack my bags and head abroad! A Parisian stripe top helps keep with the travel theme. I love the marriage of unexpected patterns. All I need is my passport and over-sized sunglasses to hop across the big pond!

Sweater Weather

Temperatures drop and the layers are piled on! Today is a combination of a sweater tunic, leggings, a crisp white blouse and a light scarf for a pop of color. Keeping with the layering (and staying warm) trend, I added a black riding boot. Testing the waters with a bold lip, I took it one step below oxblood with a cider berry.

Stripe Swoon

Graphic designs have been huge this season and stripes have taken precedence in the fashion world. Though they  never really go out of fashion, stripes are reinvented by designers almost every season. The notable trend has me hooked. Nothing is easier than a cotton striped dress!

Beach Retreat

Spending the 4th of July seaside was pure bliss! Sun-filled days call for a fun-filled cover up. The DVF for Roxy line is the best of both worlds; high fashion and beach chic. The cover-up is light weight and relaxed and even has pockets! (dreamy right?) I tried to keep it stylish while protecting my face from the sun with a large straw hat.

A Southern Staple

A white linen dress should be considered a southern summer staple. (not to mention, perfection for the upcoming holiday) It's breezy and simple and color is easy to pair with it! I'm currently crazy for these coral wedges and combined my neon MAC. 

Dress: Old J.Crew (love this one) (and this one), Wedges: Seychelles (here is the updated version for this season), Belt: Target, Bag: Rebecca Minkoff, Bangles: Alexis Bittar (similar here) (and here), Watch: Michael Kors, Cuff: David Yurman,  Bracelet: Lily & Laura, Hoop Earrings: Sheila Fajil (available locally at Gena Chandler & Charlotte's)

Casual Khaki

A khaki skirt is my timeless, in-a-hurry piece. It is easy to match and ideal for a morning that you can't get out the door! The ensemble is relaxed but functional for a work day. Today was a throw my hair in a bun and red-eye coffee kind of morning! 

Blouse: J.Crew Classic Blouse (similar here). Skirt: Khaki Skirt (similar), Braided Belt: Target, Bag: MARC by Marc Jacobs (similar here), Flats: H&M, Sunnies: Dior, Jewels: Sonya Renee, Michele, J.Crew, Moon & Lola, David Yurman, Lily and Laura

Cobalt

I feel so elegant in cobalt for some reason. The color is rich and the modified wrap dress has become universal. The asymmetrical necklace and draped sleeve on one side adds a twist to the otherwise basic wrap or sheath dress. Brown strappy wedges subdue the outfit for a functional look.

Simple Stripes

I'm slightly crazed for nautical stripes. I consider this dress my wear-with-anything frock. It's simple to add a dash of extra with fun accessories. Throw on a pair of colored flats and I'm out the door in no time! 

Striped Frock (similar here), Braided Belt (last seen at J.Crew, but similar here), Flats (on sale here!), Neon Cuff found at Anna & Alice, Fedora , Kate Spade Sunnies, Tortoise Necklace (love this one!)

Bright Brocade

The marrying of mint and gold on these pants is so beautiful and vibrant! Perfection for spring! As to not take away from the pants, I went with a low-key chambray top and a white braided skinny belt.
