Denim Jackets

Hope Everyone had a great weekend!  It was so nice out!  We spent most of our weekend outside with our family that was visiting us for the weekend.. I was able to wear shorts and a maxi dress, which made me feel like summer is finally on its way.  While out and about in my maxi dress, I wanted something in case I got cold (at night, in the restaurant, and because I'm just always cold!).  However, I felt like a cardigan and a maxi dress just looked frumpy.  I've been seeing denim jackets everywhere lately, and they happen to look great with a maxi dress.  When I think of denim jackets, I'm transported back to the 80's when I thought they were cool.  Like all good fashions, they're making a comeback.  Celebrities are wearing them all the time, and every retail store has them on their floor.  Guess we all know what my next purchase is going to be!  I've listed a few of my favorites that I've found below.

Watercolor Trend

Watercolor fashions are on the rise.  Several celebs have been seen incorporating this trend into their red carpet style.

I love the feminine and romantic look it creates in a flowy dress.  Both the soft pastels and the bright colors mixed with the look of handmade brush strokes creates a unique and stylish look.  This trend can be found in anything from dresses to shoes.  Wear this as an all over piece, or as an accent to add an interesting pop of color
.

Floral Print

Yesterday was the first official day of Spring.  It sure didn't feel like Spring to me.  I was in Minneapolis where the temperature was a high of 21 degrees.  Yikes.  While I'm waiting for the weather to warm up (even back home in Atlanta), I'm dreaming of Spring appropriate clothing.  Floral print just screams "Springtime"!  You can find this print everywhere right now; anything from shoes, to pants, to accessories.  Make a bold statement with floral pants paired with a solid top, or add a subtle accent to your outfit with a clutch or a pair of pumps.  I've listed a few of my favorite floral pieces below.

Crossbody Bags

Anyone who knows me, knows I love a BIG bag.  The bigger the better.  I'm always the one that has an umbrella, band aid  nail file, etc.  I'm always prepared.  I love the look of a big bag (plus it makes you look skinny!).  However, between carrying a diaper bag, a child and who knows what else, a large purse can sometimes be a hassle.  I guess I don't really need to bring my large Louie to the park, right?  A small crossbody bag is my solution.  They're everywhere lately.  They're small, but can still fit the necessities, they won't fall off my shoulder while I'm carrying 10,000 other things, and best of all, I love the bright spring colors that are out now.  I just need to decide which one to buy!

Leopard

Maybe I've been watching too much reality TV surrounding Jersey lately (Snooki and JWoww, Jerseylicious, etc.  I know, judge away) but I'm loving leopard!  You don't need to go overboard with head to toe leopard, but an accent or statement piece looks great.  I've listed a few of my favorite finds below.  Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!  I came home from my trip yesterday and the Hubs surprised me with roses and a Marc Jacobs bracelet.  Yay!  He also told me that he made dinner reservations for tomorrow night.  While thinking about what I would wear, I found this cute heart dress from Forever 21.  Its perfect for a date with your Valentine.  I've listed a few other options aw well, for a perfect Valentine's date dress.

Cap Toe Shoes

Cap toe shoes are popping up everywhere.  Celebrities have been seen wearing them a lot lately.  You don't have to spend a fortune.  You can create the look through these simple DIY steps, or find affordable options.  I've listed several below.  Enjoy!

I have to admit, I wasn't really into the Superbowl last night.  The only thing I was looking forward to was Beyonce.  BTW, she killed it last night.  I almost died when Destiny's Child reunited on stage.  While the Hubs watched the game, I browsed around on Pinterest.  I came across this outfit and loved it!  Individually, the pieces are pretty basic, thus it was really easy to recreate.  I pulled pieces from Forever 21, Asos, and Lulu's to pull off an affordable copycat of this outfit.  Enjoy!

Thrifty Thursday- Pastel and Neon Skinnies

With Spring just around the corner, pastel and neon skinny jeans are beginning to pop up everywhere.  If you want to rock this trend, but don't want to spend a fortune, I have good news for you.  Forever 21 has several styles of skinny jeans in a TON of colors!  The best part is that they're only $25! The hardest part is deciding which color(s) to get!

Black and White Style

Black and white fashions are everywhere lately.  It was a huge trend at the SAG awards with celebrities on the red carpet.

You don't have to be a celebrity to rock this style.  This trend can easily be incorporated into your everyday fashion.  I love the simplicity of a chic black and white look.  The style is so versatile.  Keep it simple with a black and white dress, or get a little crazy with polka dot pants.  And, with the abundance of bright colored accessories hitting the streets for Spring,  its easy to change the overall look with a splash of color.  See below for some of my favorite finds.

Sparkly Sweaters

With the weather getting a bit chilly lately, I've been rummaging through my closet pulling out all of my sweaters.  I have to admit, I'm a bit bored with them.  I'm not sure if its the boredom, or getting into the holiday spirit, but I've been gravitating towards sparkly things lately.  A bit of sparkle can spice up an everyday sweater.  Embellishments, sequins, sparkles, and metallics are everywhere right now.  Check out some of my favorite finds below.

Leather Skirts

When I think of leather skirts, an image of a bad 80s/90s style pops in my head.  However, leather skirts have reemerged as a current hot trend.  There's so many ways to rock a leather skirt.  A feminine top such as lace, can add a soft contrast that is perfect for daytime or date night.  A pair of tights extends the trend into fall/winter.  A black top, killer heels, and a smokey eye gives an overall edgy look perfect for a night out.  Check out some examples below!

Chunky Chain Link Bracelets

Chunky chain link bracelets are a great accessory.  Wear it alone, with a chunky watch, or stacked with other bracelets.  I've been loving this one from J.Crew, but there's so many options out there.  I've listed a few below.  Enjoy!

Burgundy Skinnies

Its officially Fall!  Although the temperatures are still "Summer-like", football season is here and so is Fall fashion.  While Summer brought neon colored jeans, Fall brings deeper, jeweled toned jeans.  My favorite are the burgundy colored skinny jeans that I've been seeing everywhere.  Pair them with a casual shirt or sweater and flats for day time.  Dress them up with a blouse, heels, and cute jacket for night.  I've listed some cute and affordable options below.  Enjoy!

Little Black Dresses {LBD}

As much as I love the color black, I've recently discovered that I don't actually own a lot of it.  Maybe that's because its summer and I've been drawn to bright colors (that have some how taken over my wardrobe).  However, I'm now on the hunt for a cute, casual black dress for an upcoming family picture.  Since I was spending most of my night searching for one, I figured I'd share my findings with all of you.  I've posted a few that caught my eye.  If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear about them!

Friday Frugal Find

I was surfing around some of my favorite online shops and I came across this great dress from Old Navy.  It comes in several colors and its on sale for $19.99!  There's also a coupon right now (online and in-store) for 25% off at Old Navy.  How can you say no to this dress with a steal like that?!  This is the perfect transition dress into Fall and cooler temps.  Wear it with a pair of flats, a belt and cute cross-body bag.  Dress it up with a pair of pumps, blazer, and large bag for work.   As the weather gets cooler, wear it with a pair of boots (with or without tights) and a great leather bomber jacket.  With a cute basic dress like this, the combinations are endless!

Fun Cosmetic Bags

While shopping the other day, I came across the cutest black and white chevron printed cosmetic bag at J.Crew (see below).  I have no problem constantly buying makeup, but I never splurge on a new cosmetic bag.  Sure, I have tons in my closet from all the "freebies" from cosmetic brands, but I've carried the same one in my purse for years.  I guess I've never changed it because its small enough to fit in my purse, but big enough to hold all of my make up essentials that I use throughout the day.  When I got home, I started thinking that my bag is dull and I "NEED" a cute one.  There's so many great ones out there!  See below for some of my favorites.

Sassy Sweaters

As much as I love Summer, I'm finding myself dreaming of Fall already.  Maybe its because most retailers have just launched their first round of their Fall assortment (or because I'm counting down till football season starts - GO NOLES!).  That means that sweaters are popping up everywhere.  When I was shopping this past weekend, I kept swooning over all the cute sweaters on the racks.  I had to come back to reality and remember that its still 90 degrees out.  But that doesn't mean I can't start compiling my list of things to buy once the weather cools down a bit.  See below for a few of my favorites.

Frugal Finds - Striped Blazer

I've been eyeing this Givenchy striped blazer that I've been seeing lately on celebrities.  Unfortunately its about $1600.

  

Luckily, I've found several similar styles at a much more affordable price.  Check them out!

Arm Candy

I love bracelets, bangles, and big watches.  Thus, I love the current arm candy trend.  I'm sure you've seen multiple pictures around Pinterest of all the different variations of the arm candy trend.  Here are a few of my favorites, as well as some of my favorite finds to incorporate this trend into your everyday style.
