Wednesday Wish List: Summer Edition

Erin Dana Belt Bag || ILY Couture Statement Necklace || ASOS Neon Dress || Sole Society Wedges || Gorjana Ring || Prima Donna Sunglasses

I am just now recovering from my 3-day MDW. Sometimes all you need is 3 days of listening to the ocean waves with your toes in the sand. Am I right?

Here's my running wish list of items I am craving for summer. I've spotted this neon dress on several of my blogging buddies and just HAVE to have it. It's SO me, right?! Also I have to admit, I'm lover of a few choice words (we'll just leave it at that) I spotted this Gorjana ring while searching for midi rings. I LOVE it! Also I've already professed my love for these belt bags.. they're officially on my must-have list.

What are some items that you are hunting for this summer? Happy Wednesday lovelies!! xo

Zara Studded Sandal Look-Alike

 

If you're like me and missed out on those fabulous Zara studded sandal-bootie hybrid that hit the blogsphere last spring, stop your tears shoe lovers!!! I just came across a fabulous pair of shooties that look almost exactly like the Zara ones! And.. you won't believe the price!

 

This option is only... wait for it.... $40!!! Yes, for real! So forget your buyers regret and get on it! Happy Shoe Shopping lovelies!!

Kate Moss for Topshop Favs

image via British Vogue

 

It's here! The anticipated Kate Moss for Topshop 2014 Collection officially landed this AM and the pieces are pretty fabulous. You can absolutely see the Kate Moss influence - it's almost as if the pieces came straight for her closet. The prices are a bit steep, so it's probably going to be a 1 piece purchase for most of us, but the good news is that there's lots to choose from. I personally love the beaded fringe cocktail dress the most (pictured above too) and the Pajama Top & Pant set (which is actually for day wear not sleepy time) Which of the below pieces do you love the most? You better hurry though.. a lot of the collection is already sold out! Eeeeek!

 

 

Psssttt you can also shop the collection on Nordstrom & Net-a-Porter

Pineapple Express

1. Zoe Krassen Sweatshirt || 2. Anna Coroneo Scarf || 3. dELIiA*s Dress || 4. ASOS Necklace || 5. Free People Pants || 6. J.Crew Purse (30% off with GOSHOP) || 7. DV8 by Dolce Vita Shoes || 8. River Island Cell Phone Case || 9. Topshop Swimsuit

 

Have you noticed the pineapple craze that's been popping up on practically everything lately?! I think it's absolutely perfect for the upcoming summer months. It kind of gives everything a Miami/Palm Beach/Hawaiian vibe, don't you think? How kitchy is this pineapple shaped purse or the hot pink scarf? It's just the pinch of prep your outfit needs. Which piece are you loving the most?

 

We close on our house today! I can't WAIT to get the keys and start moving everything in. Then it's time to think about décor... yikes! That's a whole other beast to conquer and Bill & I are already disagreeing about how to decorate (who thought a dude could feel so passionately about credenzas and couches?!) Don't be surprised if you start seeing a few home design posts popping up here and there.

D'Orsay Flats For Every Budget

 

1. Old Navy - $25 || 2. Nine West - $50 || 3. Sole Society - $55

4. Jeffrey Campbell - $130 (get 25% off with INTHEFAMILY14) || 5. Via Spiga - $180 || Alice + Olivia - $225 (get 25% off with INTHEFAMILY14)

 

I don't know about you but I am currently obsessing over these pointed toe flats. I've already nabbed one pair of d'orsays but I'm thinking about going after the Sole Society striped ones too! Perfect for jeans and heels or cute summer dresses. Based on yesterday's post and today's, it would seem that I'm really into flat shoes as of late. Who would have guessed? Happy Tuesday everyone!

Wednesday Wish List: White Out

  

Clutch || Jeans || Nail Polish || D'Orsay Flats || Dress || Crop Top || Watch || Cat Eye Sunglasses || Earrings

Lately I've been gravitating towards all white everything. More like obsessed with it actually. Since we haven't found a house to decorate in my new fav color scheme, I decided I could at least interject a little bit more neutrals into my wardrobe. Shop my favorite picks above. Are you into white as much as I am right now? Happy Wednesday!

Pinspiration: Crop Tops for Spring & Summer

With the very short and very brief burst of warm weather I experience last week, I realized it's time to start thinking about my spring wardrobe! And since I scooped up about 3 crop tops last fall, I am ready to start thinking up how I want to style them come warm temps.. oh and probably 2-a-day workouts to go with them. I've also found some amazing options that you can pick up right now!

 I love the idea of a textured crop top with a simple maxi dress. Add a bold accessory and a super fun pony and you've got an instant summer date night outfit.

image via

 Crop tops don't always have to be casual. Go fancy by pairing a short sleeve version with a glittering sequin pencil skirt.

image via

Can I just saw how obsessed I am with this edgy meets feminine look. The booties and black bra really sell it for me

image via

Another awesome casual version involves printed pants and a denim vest. This will help you feel more covered up if you're worried about showing too much skin.

image via

 

I never thought I could pull off the whole crop-top-with-denim-cutoffs look. But this look totally makes me think I can with the oversize shorts and flat sandals.

 

Here are some of my favorite options that are currently up for grabs:

 



Wanted: Hunter Tall Rain Boots

Hunter Original Tall Wellington Rain Boots:

Jade Green || Metallic Silver || Red Gloss || Yellow Gloss || Blue Lily || Black Gloss || Denim Blue || Lipstick Pink

I've spent my last 10 years living in sunny and warm cities in Florida and California. After being back here in Raleigh for the last 9 months or so, I have finally come to terms with the fact that I actually need a winter wardrobe. Which means a real winter coat and a real pair of weather proof boots. I mean it's been raining here all year and with this last blast of winter snow, I have decided to invest in a pair of Hunter Wellington Boots. Now if I just decide which color to get..... Should I go classic black or a bright shade of yellow? What about my signature color pink or a metallic pair? Too many decisions - help!

Speaking of my current wish list - have you entered my giveaway for 2 Belk $75 gift cards? Oh yes that means two winners!

Now Trending: Mules

Okay so I know when you typically think of mules you're thinking of garden clogs or shoes for the "over 60" category. But I promise you these aren't your grandma's backless heels...

 

Sole Society || Zara || Steve Madden

Fabi || Jeffrey Campbell || French Connection

I'm kind of surprised by how attracted to this style I am but I have definitely gone from hate to love. For some reason, I just can't get the thought of a wide leather front and chunky heel out of my head. I think the best part about this 90's revival are the modern touches like laser cutouts, pointed toes or a splash of metallic. Lucky for you I've picked out some options that are sure to fit any one's budget. So what are you guys thinking about this style? Are you willing to try it or do you think you'll leave the mules of the world to Nana?

We Search. We Find. We ShopStyle.

Okay - let's talk shop for a minute.. online shopping that is! I mean if it were an Olympic sport, I'd definitely be the front runner for team USA. Not only am I a bargain shopper, but I genuinely get a thrill out of hunting down a product. This is where PopSugar's ShopStyle comes in!

 

ShopStyle is a fashion based search engine that helps you locate any item you're looking for whether it's a pair of pink floral print trousers or sequin heels. So when they asked me to be a part of their brand new "We Search. We Find. We ShopStyle." campaign, I didn't even hesitate to say YES!

 

 

On Me: Space 46 Boutique Pink Tulle Skirt || Zara Heels (almost identical) || Michael Kors "Bradshaw" Watch || Jennifer Zeuner Nameplate Necklace || Forever 21 BAD Ring

 

Clockwise from Top Right:

ILY Couture Candy Color Necklace (similar) || Christian Dior "Mohotani" Cat Eye Sunglasses || Vintage Brooch || Prabal Gurung Floral Print Blazer (similar) || ILY Couture Fringe Necklace || TopShop 3D Sequin Crop Top || Sinful Colors Nail Polish || Prabal Gurung Neon Lace Up Sandal (similar) || Naven Heartthrob Dress || Banana Republic Glitter Purse (similar) || J. Crew Crystal Shimmer Earrings || Marc Jacobs Rose Gold Clutch (similar) || Express Sequin Leggings (similar) || Blu Bijoux Bangles || Vintage Owl Brooch (similar) || Vintage Sunglasses (similar) || Love Culture Transparent Clutch (similar) || Bamboo D'Orsay Flat (similar) || GiGi New York All In One Clutch || ban.do Glitter Bomb Bobbi & Heart pin || Vintage Dress (similar) || Guess Glitter Pump (similar)

 

I bet you can't guess what the theme for my shoot was.... (ha!) For this campaign, I was asked to showcase and style items from my personal wardrobe and closet. It's no surprise that I was inspired by the color pink & sparkles for my lay down shoot. After all, my personal motto is "Wear Something Sparkly Every Day." I think it just gives your outfit a little something extra. So with the help of my husband, we spent some time adjusting the layout and then snapping some photos (shout out to him for being such a great sport!) on Sunday afternoon. Here's the finished product!

 

One of my favorite features of ShopStyle is that even if the specific item you're searching for is sold out, it will still recommend similar items to ensure that your shopping fix is cured. They also have an app for easy on-the-go purchases. For a bit more detail about how to use ShopStyle, check out the video below with their new spokesperson Miranda Kerr! Happy Shopping!
