Lunch Date

The past week and a half was a whirlwind and I have never felt so loved! I wore this hot pink DVF dress to my bridesmaids luncheon and felt sassy yet sophisticated. I paired it with a simple nude ankle strap heel and a few baubles for the ultimate in upscale brunch-wear! 

Dress: DVF, Heels: French Connection (slightly different color here), Clutch: Tory Burch (similar here and on SALE!), Bracelets: David Yurman, Alexis Bittar (similar), J.Crew

Practical Reinvented

The corporate scene doesn't have to mean drab pant suits and lackluster attire. Today at work I channel the sunshine and boast bright yellow trousers contrasted with a charming, but fashion-forward exaggerated peplum top in black. The peplum is dramatic and trendy (notice the exposed back zipper) yet suitable for a business environment. 

Top: Olivaceous (found locally at Uniquities), Crop Pant: Banana Republic (similar here), Ankle Strap Sandal: Zara (similar and on sale here), Bag: Exclusive for Saks (different color, same style here), Jewels: Alexis Bittar, David Yurman

Watercolor

Watercolor is ultra girly and can be dressed up or down easily. The warm tones create a sense of understated opulence. The gathered ruffle on the side adds adds an element of glam. I love that the dress is work-worthy but can take you straight to happy hour!

Ruffles

It's true that you can't go wrong with an LBD, but why not add daring details? I consider the ruffles on the dress a statement piece, but on my shoulders! This is my go-to LBD because of the fitted waist, chic shoulder details and pleated sides that make for one flirtatious frock! (Did I mention the exposed zipper on the back? LOVE!) I'm dying over the ankle strap trend and the sandal pairs so easily with the rest of the look because of the minimalist features, thin ankle strap and the snakeskin back!
