Fell in love with this crop top and started imagining all the styling possibilities for spring and summer— This take would be perfect for a day date or even Sunday brunch.
Bette Franke was spotted on the streets of Milan in a green army jacket and striped shirt. Her look gets an instant edgy downtown feel with the black leather mini skirt and booties.
Two years later and I am still crushing on the romantic half updo from Balenciaga S/S 2013. The gold halo hair piece makes for a stunning statement detail, and would be perfect for a spring or summer wedding complete with textured waves.
This look is great inspiration on how to transition your favorite knit into spring— throw it on with a small leather bag, classic jeans, lace-up flats and you're set!
These street style shots from New York City serve as major inspiration for pulling off a white-on-white look. With statement sunglasses, a low bun, delicate arm band and black pumps, this casual chic take on the trend is totally worth copying.
Morgane Bedel has recently come on my radar. Her edgy black-on-black spring look here is just one of the many reasons. I love that she always has a fresh-face and can't get enough of her long wavy hair— How do Parisians always manage to look so incredibly effortless?
One of my favorite go-to outfits is made up of all basics - the swing trench, skinny trousers, and a gingham button-up. My trench and shirt from Banana Republic are long sold out, but for anyone interested, I was excited to find very similar pieces at J.Crew and J.Crew Factory:
Shorter length is key for a swing trench - I had to alter mine extensively, but this one conveniently comes in petites! I love both color options and the little details, and pricing seems rather fair for a lined jacket at J.Crew these days. At their factory outlet, everything is currently 50% off (ends Monday night) including the classic navy gingham shirt up above. I actually haven't tried J.Crew Factory petites before, but ordered a few items during this sale: navy striped skirt, leopard belt, and this chambray shirt as mine is starting to wear thin. If sizing runs true to J.Crew's regular store, then the shirt should fit but skirt will need waist alterations. They also have some adorable petite dresses for spring worth checking out.
LOFT is also having a pretty good sale - use CYBER50 through tomorrow to get 50% off sitewide plus free ship at any price! I love a bold print and this this one will look adorable with a solid belt and cropped denim jacket. This sale is also a good opportunity to pick up some jeans online, since so many of the petite cuts/washes are web exclusives.
The popular scalloped lace dress first introduced eons ago (see on me) looks like a signature design that's here to stay. This spring, Ann Taylor brought back a variation that is currently 40% off with code GOSPRING, and LOFT has one as well eligible for the 50% off & free ship. I haven't tried on either, so anyone who has...please share thoughts as to how they compare! The AT is pricier but from the photos on zoom, it looks a little more elegant and better quality than its LOFT counterpart. FYI, mine from 2011 was taken in along both sides - this year's versions look like they would need similar alterations to achieve a fitted look.
A few weeks ago I opened up this amazing parcel from Feel Unique. As time goes on I'm becoming more of a fan of Feel Unique. Whenever i'm wanting some beauty related for someones birthday present it's the first place I stop and look. I love how whenever you type for a discount code for Feel Unique online there's normally a 10% off code or offer of some sort as well.
I've never been the biggest fan of Topshop nail polishes but this dark purple didn't disappoint. It's been a great colour for when I want to be a little bit more bold with my nails. It lasts a few days without chipping too!
Topshop foundation is something I'd never thought I would try. I'm used to MAC foundations which don't come out the bottle this thin but it was so good to try a new foundation. Once blended in this foundation was quite sheer coverage so on days when I don't feel like wearing as much make up!
