Summer Breeze

Quiksilver dress

Elizabeth and James blazer
Ralph Lauren Collection sandals
3.1 Phillip Lim 31 hour bag
Lilly Pulitzer bangles

Hey guys! Today I'm back with a great look for almost any occasion over the summer. This light, airy dress is a perfect LWD (little white dress) that can be easily dressed up or down. I decided to pair it with a classic but on-trend mint green blazer, which adds the perfect amount of structure. To top it off I chose cognac sandals and a a beautiful minimalist Philip Lim bag. Can we just take a minute to enjoy how luxe, timeless, functional, and buttery-soft it is? Absolute perfection. Bright, cheery bangles bring in the rear and continue the sherbert color scheme.

Hope you guys have a great Memorial Day weekend!
XOXO,
Kate

Minty Fresh

Reiss pumps, $245
ASOS clutch, $27

Now that spring is about to kick into full swing, I'm more ready than ever to break out the pastels. I paired a simple black skirt and pointy-toe heels (so pretty) with this stunning Juicy Couture blazer. I recently bought myself a similar one from JC Penney by their Olsenboye brand, which is headed up by Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Honestly, I was amazed that a $20-ish blazer (I know, such a deal!) could make me feel as chic/fabulous/amazing as I did while wearing it. Since then I am convinced a striped black and white blazer is a staple - it goes perfectly with so many things! I placed a simple yellow polo underneath it and finished off the look with a mint green clutch. Remember this post where I said mint is a major trend? Well, I know that was a full two weeks ago, but it's still totally true. The best part about this clutch is how affordable and easy to work into an outfit it is - ideal characteristics for a trendy piece. Anywho, I think the stripes plus yellow plus mint plus pointy toe heels equals one fantabulous outfit. 

Have a lovely week, everyone! 

XOXO,

Tip Your Cap

Hi all! Today I decided to post a feature on one of my favorite things to ever grace a shoe: the cap-toe. A cap-toe shoe is great when you want to mix things up a bit. They come in all varieties of styles, from classic and neutral to bright and bold. Whether your shoe style of choice is flats or heels, there's bound to be a cap-toe look for you. Hint: Take note of the shoes capped with metallics -  I've seen them everywhere lately and they're slated to be big in 2012. Also, those mint-green beauties above? Since mint is major and they've got the metallic cap going, with a pair of those on your feet you'd be knocking out two trends at once, in just the right way.

Have a lovely week!
XOXO,
Kate
