Simplicity in Floral

Florals, florals, florals. I am totally loving this trend. This is funny to those who really know me because there was actually a time when I would never be caught in bright colors or even in dresses. I will save that story for another time.

      Since the floral trend made its comeback last Spring I have been intrigued and pleasantly surprised that it can be styled in different ways from casual looks to boohoo chic to office chic without looking gaudy.

      This look is simple yet clsssy. I let the floral dress take center stage yet perfectly complimented by the gorgeous delicate nude shoes. These artfully created shoes are a shoe lover's dream. The fact that they are so comfortable is merely the icing on the cake.

I also kept my jewelry to a minimum and opted for a structured bag for the extra chic vibe.

When unsure about how to style a floral piece- "keep it simple".

Cutout Shooties and Floral Cutout Top

"All the pretty colors!"

"All the pretty colors". That's what my dazed brain thought before I remembered it was only the first week of November. At the time, I had been at one of the stores I frequently go to for some shopping, and all the holiday decorations were out already! Wasn't Halloween a little over a week ago?
   Is it just me, or does it feel like it's a little too soon. We haven't even had thanksgiving  yet!
Not that I am complaining (ok, maybe a little). It just feels like we would be saying goodbye to another year way too soon; but on a positive note, I love the holiday season.
   
Speaking of colors. I resisted the urge to tuck in this colorful top; instead, I let it fall and flow with the slightly flared shape of the skirt. I added a skinny belt for some definition. And, of course the shooties from my previous post "booties to fall for", which I'm in love with. Hit or miss?   Let me know what you think.

The Shirtdress

        Starting up the new week with a post featuring this little number- a Joe Fresh shirtdress also at JCP.
It was literally love at first sight, with what look's like a mixture of camouflage and floral prints.
It's the perfect combination of comfort and style (and affordability, of course). It's got pockets, I don't know about you guys but I love the little unexpectedness of dresses with pockets: perfect for my Iphone that I keep dropping and cracking.
(I have been discovering lots of cool pieces at JCP, quite frankly, I love the new JCP).

 There was a battle of purses. I debated between highlighting the green or highlighting the mustard elements in this dress. But instead of sticking with one color, I thought "why not do both?!"  By simply changing purses I accomplished . I styled the dress both ways. No Jacket means warm day! Yay! Guess which purse I ended up wearing out.

Final Days of Summer

      September is here,  so are the last days of summer and a hint of melancholy.
      But wait! There are Perks, such as Fashion Week which started today, amazing end of season sales, new season trends and the gorgeous colors of autumn.

       Speaking of Perks- I absolutely love the leather studded pumps  and matching clutch I'm wearing in this post. I got them a while back. But thanks to the end of summer, you can snag a pair for next to nothing. You will definitely find use for these stunners during the fall (if you are daring) and next Spring. Shades of white have already been spotted on the runways of Fashion Week and it's only day one.

Florals were so big this season, I thought it would be fun to start the end the summer with the one of the season's biggest trends-the Prabal Gurung for Target Blazer. Yes, I'm in Love with Prabal Gurung as evidenced by the multiple pieces of his Target collection I own. Which brings me to the big announcement.

 I am absolutely delighted to announce "Pip" as the winner of the Prabal Gurung for Target Clutch giveaway! Expect to hear from me soon! Congrats girlie and once again a big thank you to everyone that entered!
     
    As always, thanks for visiting

Florals afloat

Hello Lovelies,

  Florals are everywhere this season and I like those with bright colors, which I can play up or play down.

It's been so hot in Michigan, perfect short shorts weather. I paired these lovely shorts with a structured blouse for a classy look. Metallic pumps were huge last fall/winter but I still love the trend, so I always look for ways to add them in my look.

Spring Shadows

Hey gorgeous,
     I'm actually blogging from New York. It's my third time in the city and I am still in awe of this place. However it's raining cats and dogs today (not even a single moment of reprieve, ugh) so I am staying indoors and dry. However, pics from this post are from days ago and this is the first opportunity I'm getting to blog after so long. Hopefully, I get to blog more often because I am kinda digging this!
