Floral Fun

Spring is finally here! The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and patterned shorts are adding much needed color to pale winter legs. A hot trend this season, patterned shorts are a great way to embrace the warming temperatures. In contrast to skirts, these colorful bottoms not only provide coverage, but also comfort. Most recently, fashionistas have been taking this comfy trend to the next level by pairing them with more structured and dressy tops. This casual chic combination provides you with the best of both worlds.

Are you constantly faced with the dilemma of choosing between an edgy or girly style? Why not choose both? Combine a fitted blazer that incorporates edgy elements like studs or zippers with a pair of shorts with bold florals. Experiment with different patterns and colors until you find that perfect combination that embodies your unique and one-of-a-kind style!

From State to State

Happy Easter! It has definitely been a while since my last post! I've been studying up on some of the latest trends for the spring and summer months while I was away and thought I'd share my findings with you. This current trend isn't too hard to spot. The statement necklace, or bib necklace, has been slowly merging its way from typical evening outfits into everyday workwear outfits. With a wide variety of styles, the statement necklace is a very easy trend to conquer. Whether you want to ease into the trend with a classic metallic piece or go all out with a cluster of bright baubles, you can easily make the statement necklace work for your personal style. Still not sure you're ready to take the plunge? No worries! I've selected a classic statement necklace that you can win for free! This silver, hammered metal necklace is a great piece that can work with a casual spring outfit, or a sophisticated evening look.  Scroll down to find out how to enter today!

Stylish Sidekicks

Of all the wonderful things that come from Disney movies, it's always a bit disappointing when the sidekicks don't get their fair share of the spotlight. I know what you're thinking. A sidekick isn't supposed to be the main fixture of a film, but let's be honest, the movies wouldn't be half as entertaining without the trusty buddies of the heroes and heroines. Many of my favorite characters in the Disney movie collection are sidekicks. From Meeko in Pocahontas to Little Brother in Mulan, sidekicks always help to add a touch of humor when scenes start to get a little too serious. Always there to lend a helping hand, sidekicks don't get nearly the amount of respect they deserve. I plan to change all that with a post dedicated to the unsung heroes of the world of Disney. With outfits inspired by some of my favorite sidekicks, these looks will have you covered for an afternoon of singing with talking sea creatures, a magical night at a ball, or an all day adventure kicking evil's butt. In this post, these characters will finally receive the recognition that they rightfully earned!
