earmuffs

With snow in parts of the country, I decided to highlight some fun earmuffs to keep your ears cozy and warm during those snowy days.  Kate Spade always has fun and colorful winter accessories and this year they have some fabulous earmuff options.  J.Crew and Ralph Lauren also have some fun options.  

Have you seen the new tech earmuffs designers have come out with this season? Such a fabulous idea!






Do you like wearing earmuffs during the winter?

pink & patchwork.


I kind of love this picture.  It's just so me... it doesn't really show off my outfit, but I think it's still cute.

trend: tunics.

One of my favorite summer trends this year is the tunic.  Tunic tops look great with straight leg jeans.  Tunic dresses are great for parties or as a swimsuit cover-up.  Tunics are so versatile and fun!

I love this Lilly Pulitzer tunic top.  I think it would look great with white jeans and gold wedges for a night out with friends or to see a summer movie.  I particularly love the coal color and teal embroidery on this tunic.



This navy and cream tunic is great for warm summer days and is a great shirt to take from day to night. 





This J.Crew tunic is great as a casual summer dress or a swimsuit cover-up.  I would pair it with Jack Rogers sandals and a straw tote.  This is a perfect item to pack on vacation, since you can use it for two outfits.



Three-quarter length tunics are great to wear to a summer movie.  They add a little more warmth (for the freezing theater) while still being cool and summery!








How do you wear tunics?

Sweet Summertime

If you have already been to the beach this summer, than I am extremely jealous of you.  I have been taking a summer class, so I haven't been able to make it to the beach yet this summer.  I have, however, been able to go to the pool some, which has been wonderful!  Although, I have to be so careful that I don't get sunburned... but despite this I still love being out in the sun during the summer!


For those of you who have been reading for a while you probably know that I am kind of obsessed with straw bags during the summertime.  I have a straw bag very similar to this one from Target and I use it all the time!  It is the perfect bag to take to the pool or beach.

Vineyard Vines has a great selection of swimsuits this summer.  I particularly love this one {well, I actually love them all... how can you not?}  Tory Burch has a great selection of adorable flip flops that are perfect for any summer outfit.

Being extremely fair with blonde hair and blue eyes does not make for the perfect combo outdoors.  My eyes are super sensitive to the sun and I have to be super careful so that I don't turn into a lobster.  So, I pretty much never go outside without a pair of sunglasses! I have a pair of Ralph Lauren sunglasses from a couple of years ago (similar to the ones above) that I wear everyday.  I would die without them!

It is very important not to forget the sunscreen when you're outside for long periods of time.  Even if you don't think you need it, you do! You can get sunburned on an overcast day and the sun can still damage your skin if you're not getting a bad burn.  So be careful! Remember to pack this Neutrogena Wet Skin Sunblock, it's perfect for the beach or pool.  But, don't forget to put some SPF on your lips too!  I particularly love this Sugar Lip Treatment, it is one of my favorite summer essentials.

Happy Summertime!

The Straw Clutch

A couple of years ago I got an adorable straw clutch from Lilly Pulitzer.  It is one of the best purchases I've made in a very long time! I use it all the time during the summer.  It goes with so many different outfits, whether it's jeans and a cardigan or a sundress with heals, this straw clutch is so versatile.

 {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

Lilly Pulitzer always comes out with adorable bags for the summer.  This clutch is the perfect bag to use with a sundress or a pair of jeans.

This J.Crew Brompton straw clutch is a great clutch on-the-go.  It is so classic and easy to throw together with just about any outfit.

This Ralph Lauren Claridge Clutch is a nice darker option for a straw clutch.  I tend to wear a lot of white and bright colors so a light colored clutch tends to work better for me, but this RL clutch is so perfect for those of you who prefer a little darker handbag.

This Ted Baker clutch is perfection! How can you not love a straw clutch with a bow on it?!

For a more nautical look, this Lilly Pulitzer clutch is the perfect thing.  The navy and white stripes with the anchor emblem make for a great summer bag.

Let's be honest, I love all things Tory Burch!  I wish I could afford to buy everything TB comes out with.  This Tory Burch Woven Paten Clutch is great for the summer!

What is your favorite summer bag?

pop of color.

This past week I have really been feeling like bright colors everyday.  I think I am truly in the summer mood now that I have finished all my finals and have a week before summer classes start.  I am so happy to get a break, although I don't really feel like it's much of a break since I have to go back to school so soon...

I just love bright colored pants, capris and shorts.

Do you like colored pants?

cute, yet comfy

Ever just want to be comfortable, but are worried about looking like you just got about of bed?

I do all the time!  Whether it's a crazy day of homework at the library or just running errands...it is important to remember that you will feel better if you look better.  I hate feeling like I haven't gotten dressed all day.  It really slows down my level of productivity.  But, there are still days when I just want to be comfy.  Here are a few go-to ideas.

Pixie pants from J.Crew are perfect for the fall (or Florida winter) when you need something a little thicker than a legging, but still want to be comfortable.  I love the legging-look for comfy-casual-days, I think leggings are a cute alternative to the sweatpant.  Since they are a more fitted look they can definitely make your outfit seem more put-together.  I love this bright pink Lilly tunic with themThey are also great with just a button-up shirt or a cute tee with a blazer or coat.

Smith Hollis.

I mentioned a while ago that my cousin was pregnant... well she gave birth last week to a baby boy named Peter Smith Hollis II.  I cannot wait to meet him.  He is so cute!  I Skyped with him last week so I kinda met him.  But, I cannot wait to hold him and see him in person.  Everything went well and we are all so glad that Niki and Smith are home and healthy.  Now it's time for all of us to spoil him with presents all the time!  Baby clothes and toys are so cute... it's hard to resist buying everything.

Isn't this Ralph Lauren sweater adorable?
