Feminine Camo

blouse (J.Crew 20% off), pants (GAP no longer avail, LOVE THESE & THESE), shoes (DVF), belt (Banana), tote (Kooba--obsessed with THIS), bracelets (Stella & Dot, J.Crew), watch (Cartier), ring (Anna Beck)

Can I just tell you how many times I've worn my camo jeans (see similar HERE)?  And the best part, I've paired them with different tops each time.  You all know I've done the Gingham look, I've paired it with a pale pink striped blouse & flats, a navy & white striped tee and chucks, a chunky cable knit sweater & ankle booties--pairings for days!  I have to say; however, this girly take on camo may be my favorite yet.  I'm loving the juxtaposition of girly vs tomboy.  If you've sported the camo, would love to know how you're styling them.  Y'all make it a good one!

PS--The Shelf  (new items added) & the Pomegranate Tote Giveaways end this evening---Thanks to all who have entered thus far!

It's Personal

shirt (J.Crew), monogram (Moda Alterations, Lexington), shorts (HM), jeans (DL1961), belt (J.Crew), ring (Lagos), watch (Michael Kors), chucks (Converse), wedges (Rafe), necklace (Maya Brenner), shades (Ray Ban), bag (Kooba), ring (Anna Beck)

I knew the moment I saw This J.Crew Striped Popover, I would have to have it--but then again, I knew everyone else would, too!  Classic & fresh, it's a staple that will stay in your closet for ages.  With that being said, I wanted to spruce it up a bit & make it stand out.  Solution--the monogram!  What better way to add a unique touch than slapping on a "Laverne & Shirley-esque" Initial on it?  I have to say, I've worn the hell outta this sucker and plan to do so through the duration of the spring/summer.  Alright, gang, make it a good one & make sure to check out The Shelf Giveaway from yesterday--I added a few additional items & will continue to do so!

Distressed Trench

trench (Zara--similar), tee (HM), jeans (7 for all Mankind), shoes (Michael Kors--Fun Option HERE), belt (J.Crew), tote (Kooba options HERE & HERE), shades (Michael Kors, necklaces (vintage), watch (Michael Kors), ring (Lagos), bracelets (Asos & Stella & Dot)

Inspired by a spread in this month's Lucky Magazine (with Brit on the cover), the tagline, "Metallics Make Everything Cooler," immediately caught my eye.  I fell in love with the idea because the metallic elements definitely elevate this classic stripe & trench look.   To me, this is what inspiration is all about--dog earring & pinning some lovely looks, perusing your closet, and turning them into your own!  Do tell, where do you look for inspiration?  

Y'all have a fantastic weekend....we're getting a little warm spike so I'm sure ours will be spent outdoors.
