Denim Everything // I think if we’re being honest, you’re not going to see me in a Canadian tuxedo anytime soon. But UGH girls like Jess make denim-on-denim look sofa king cool that I recently found myself hitting “checkout” on an order including one (1) denim jacket, one (1) denim skirt, and two (2) pairs of jeans before I realized what tf I was doing.

Sets // Not your mother’s sweater + skirt set. Unless your mother is Taylor Swift.

Skirts // Revolutionary, right? Idk guys, I think they’re going to have a real moment this spring + summer. I’ve been on the hunt for some silk top + maxi skirt pairings for wedding season and am praying I don’t receive any dirty looks from your conservative great aunt.

Straw + Wicker Bags // Yep, still a thing. And I am here for it.

Three Fall Trends I Love

Speaking of trends, it’s hashtag fall fashion time.

If you know me, you know I’m in denial and have put on non-white pants approximately one time since May 1st. But with the rosé drying up and the first day of autumn wreaking havoc arriving tomorrow, I figure it’s time to face reality.

Solution? Go shopping. Here are three fall trends I’m flirting with.

Velvet // I’ve been all over velvet for the last two holiday seasons, but I feel it creeping in even earlier this year, in lighter transition-wear styles and colors. A-ok with me. I mean velvet leggings? Yes PLEASE.

Millennial Pink // Blush for fall? Come again? Thank you Pantone for making my dream a reality:: Pantone Ballet Slipper snuck its way onto the FALL(!!) 2017 Fashion Color Report and if Pantone says it’s true then it must be.

Round Bags // Circle purses, canteen bags, call them what you will. Cult Gaia aside, who could ignore the overkill of round bags this summer? Hi hey hello. Just because straw and wicker headed out the door with Sam Summer doesn’t mean this circle bag trend isn’t going to find a way to carry itself into PSL season.

Four Spring Trends I Love

by 2 Comments

Trends have got me bad again. While you won’t be seeing me in a choker any time soon, I’m digging these four spring looks that have been making their way around Pinterest and the basic biddies of America.

Bell Sleeves // I definitely meh-d at this look when I spotted it in spring preview catalogues, but seeing it on bodies has swayed me. There’s some kind of romanticized old glamour about them, and while the prints and layers can be over the top, pairing them with white and denim jeans make the look everyday chic.

Palm Print // Palms are still comin’ in HOT. We visited The Beverly Hills Hotel while in LA last week, so they are back on my mind and then some. Screw Hawaii, there are no reservations about wearing tropical prints in the city right now.

Fabric & Fringe Tassel Earrings // While I will always love the beaded tassels that took the fashion blogs of the universe by storm a couple years ago {100% snaps for Lisi for making that happen}, I’m digging the new fabric-wrapped and fringe tassel earrings. They tends to be ever bigger, but they’re so LIGHT and I can now make it through more than two hours without withering in pain!!

Wicker Basket Bags // Straw totes were hot-hot-hot last summer, and no doubt that they will continue to be, but I am absolutely high on wicker basket bags right now. My family’s Nantucket basket purse will always be my favorite, but an affordable, functional option with a strap? I’ll take two.

Which of these spring 2017 fashion trends have you fallen victim for?

Trendy is the Last Stage Before Tacky

–Karl Lagerfeld

Lilly Pulitzer Tassel Top
I’ve fallen into the trap of trends worse than ever this spring. Tassels! Poms! Metallic mirrored sunnies! I’m a walking cliche, right down to the bare shoulders [which hey surprise attract sunburns more than ever as I’ve learned the hard way].

I’m gonna give myself a one-time pass on boarding the trend-train this spring, only because it wasn’t that I was tryyyying to follow a crowd. I was merely emotionally invested in The Bachelor, and I saw Lauren Bushnell wearing off-the-shoulder tops and flip flops, so I bought off-the-shoulder tops and flip flops.

Don’t know who everyone else stole the idea from.
