Two Staples

Belt (old): Kohls; Shirt (old): Kohls, Vera Wang

Flats (old): Gap

I wanted to share with you two items I have in my closet I often wear.  These are my go to pieces.  When I am in a hurry I find myself grabbing my leopard flats and belt to add a little something to many of my outfits.  This weekend I was just doing things around the house and running a couple of errands, so I ended up wearing my favorites.  What I like best about these two things is that it can be paired with so much and worn year round.  In a previous post I was wearing the belt with peach and yellow.  I like to wear these with many different colors.  Leopard is considered a nuetral here.  I am sure you will see them in many posts to come.

The Day After

The Day After by erinn06012 featuring canvas tote bags

Glamorous lace top, $28 / Quiksilver cotton shorts / Victoria's Secret beach bikini / A|X Armani Exchange flat shoes / Canvas tote bag / R.J. Graziano pearl bangle / Adia Kibur layered necklace / clipped by margarita25, $22

Often times after a Holiday we are still enjoying our days off of work and family/friends.  I put together this outfit as an example of something you could put on and still run errands, shop, have lunch with your girl friends and still be ready to lounge at the beach or pool.  By adding a hat to the mix it allows you to not have to mess with your hair and keeps the sun out of your eyes.  You will often see me wearing hats in the summer months.  I also still enjoy dressing your swim suit up with your favorite jewelry.  Just because you are relaxing doesn't mean you can't do it in style.  I will be wearing something similiar today as I will be running errands and laying by the pool.  What will you be wearing on your day after?

Stars and Stripes

I love being able to parade our colors this time of year.  Here are 3 looks I put together to celebrate.  You can mix and match the accessories to give you the look you are want to achieve.   For casual look go with sandles or tennis shoes and a big bag.  If you are having a night celebration any of the outfits paired with the heels and clutch will give you a polished evening look.  Wear the jewelry you feel most beautiful in to pull everything together.  I hope you enjoy your July 4th celebration and try a stars and stripes look.  I will be on the look out for my look.

Lace: Night by erinn06012 featuring leopard print jewelry

I love the lace shorts for the summer.  Because I love them so much I want to wear them all the time.  Here are some ideas on how to make your shorts day and night.  I paired them with flats, a fitted Tee, and a bigger bag for running around town, shopping or just hanging out.  To take these shorts to night just add heels, a clutch, and a satin top.  Very classy.  Because the shorts are a nuetral color they could really be paired with any top you like.  I really like the black lace shorts as well.  Try it out.
