Look of the Day- Pretty In Pleats

1) Crystal Twist Headband available at Anthropologie- $32
2) Elsa Sunburst-Pleated Skirt available at BCBG- $228
3) Lash Before My Eyes Top in Bows available at ModCloth- $37.99
4) Mossimo Magnetic Closure Crossbody Handbag available at Target- $22.99
5) Fancy Faux Suede Pumps available at Forever 21- $32.80

It's a little edgy, slightly menswear inspired...yet with feminine details. I have to say, I adore this outfit. I definitely need to get some more grandmother inspired and rock influenced items into my wardrobe ASAP! 

Look of the Day- Seeing Spots

1) Women's Tights in Light Blue available at Uniqlo- $6.45

2) Minnie Cream Polka Dot Dress available at Fred Flare- $48

3) Garden Path Graduated Necklace by Kate Spade New York available at Piperlime- $148

4) Ladylike Colorblocked Crossbody available at Forever21- $24.80

I have to admit...I'm obsessed with polka dots! It's a classic print that stays in style year to year. So chic...it really it timeless. If you took a peek into my closet you'd see way too many polka dot covered items. But really, is there a thing as too much polka dots? 

3.1 Phillip Lim Collection at Target

I was beyond excited to see commercials a few weeks ago for the 3.1 Phillip Lim Collection at Target. Well, the day is finally here...you too can shop the 3.1 Phillip Lim Collection at Target and not kill your budget in the process. The pieces are beautiful (do you really think he'd put his name on something that wasn't?), and so affordable!!!

Here are some of my favorite pieces from his Target collection---

Tuxedo Dress- $44.99

Sequin Dress- $74.99

Grab & Go Pack in Floral Print- $29.99

Dress with Faux Leather in Navy/Black- $49.99

Dress with Faux Leather in Black- $49.99

Tuxedo Pant- $39.99

Medium Satchel in Black- $44.99

Which pieces will you be buying? My only issue with designer collections at Target is that everyone you see on the street is wearing the same pieces...so I usually shy away from them since I don't want to look like a clone. But, this collection is so tempting! I just might have to buy some of them. Decisions, decisions!

Look of the Day- Sweet & Sassy

Two of my favorite colors have to be black and pink. I swear most of my wardrobe is black. You can make all the jokes about New Yorkers and their dark garb, but it really is just so much more practical. But how can you make a full black wardrobe a little more interesting? Adding pops of color, like the hot pink shown below, really gives that extra punch that makes an outfit special.

1) Gardenhead Viola Halo Headwrap available at Urban Outfitters- $24

2) Farewell Floral Peplum Blouse by C.Luce available at Piperlime- $59

3) Neon Pop Clutch available at Forever 21- $19.80

4) Mossimo Faux Leather Quilted Mini Skirt available at Target- $24.99

5) Shoe Republic LA Dysis Black and Pink Single Strap High Heels available at LuLu's- $40

Do you have a color that seems to take over your wardrobe? What is your favorite color to wear?

Beach Blanket Bingo

It seems like lately all I have been doing is dreaming of having a swimming pool, talking about the heatwave, and dripping in sweat. Even on this blog, every post seems to revolve around me talking about just how hot it is outside. I just can't help it. Every day this week the heat index has the temperatures flying well over 100 degrees...and I know the majority of the country is suffering too. So, I thought right now would be a great time to talk about swimwear. I know that personally I need to buy a new bathing suit. But, since I don't go to the local beaches, do not have a trip to the Caribbean planned, and do not have a swimming pool...I guess I really don't need one. Do I???

Here are some great swimsuits that I know all of you beach bunnies are going to love as much as I do---

Dress Like A Celebrity

From her red carpet looks to her casual style, Zoe Saldana seriously is a fashion icon in my book. She's confident in what she wears and knows what looks good on her body. Here she is in a very Californian chic look that all of us can easily duplicate. Jeans and a tee never looked so good!

I put together a very affordable version of this look that won't break your bank. What are your thoughts of this bright and bold look? Will you be trying it this spring?

What's Black And White And Red All Over?

So my weekend is turning out to be 100% not as I planned. I have to admit, I am a big time planner. This is definitely one of the things that is different between myself and my husband, as well as most of my friends. They like to fly by the seat of their pants...and that just gives me anxiety. 

shirt- Xhilaration available at Target

skirt- Express

belt- H&M

tights- ?

necklace- gift

boots- Dr. Martens

Today my plans have already changed three times...and it is not even 2pm! Here to hoping my plans stick for this evening, or I'm going to be bummed. As of now it looks like my husband and I are going to head our for a local raw bar happy hour and then off to dinner. Sounds like a good evening to me!

What are you doing this weekend? Are you a planner, or do you just like to go with the flow?
