Blue's Clues

Modcloth top / Topshop jeans / Zara sandals / Bauble Bar Bangle (Pre-Order 3 weeks)

More and more I've been warming up to wearing navy blue. It's actually kind of becoming my favorite neutral (yes, people can have favorite neutrals - at least according to me.) Couple that with my admiration of peplums and this top was a dream come true. Summer is the perfect time to take advantage of wearing white pants, and these girly Zara sandals were begging to be added to the look. Already have a pair of thong sandals you think need a little spicing up? Look no further than this easy tutorial. Navy happens to look absolutely lovely with pink, and this bangle is the perfect little accessory to complete this dainty look.

Hope you all have a lovely rest of the week!
XOXO,
Kate

P.S. Recently I've really been liking Christian music artist Dara Maclean. Not only is her music is real and uplifting but I've seen this girl in interviews and she is 100% authentic about giving glory to Jesus. If you'd like to give her a little listen, check out the video for her song "Free" below. :)

Opposites Attract

Topshop blouse / Sandro pants / Jil Sander sandals / Kate Spade bag (Similar here and here) / Cezanne earrings

Hey all! Hope your weekend has been going well. Today's look is something I would be happy to wear basically anywhere. Peter pan collared shirts are feminine and timeless, while the white pants are a tailored classic great for building any look upon. Having a simple black nylon purse in your repertoire is great because while it is extremely low maintenance, it still somehow looks super chic (a very Parisian idea, no?). Pearl earrings are a great go-to piece of jewelry and really play up the classic and vintage vibe of the outfit, while these sandals are sexy, casual, and, put simply, perfection in a shoe.

XOXO,
Kate

Polished in Pink

J Crew top

Karl jeans
Stuart Weitzman heels, similar here
Rochas bag
Majorica earrings

Hey guys, how have you been? Today's look is so fresh it nearly cools me off just looking at it (corny, I know...). As soon as I saw this J.Crew blouse I knew I wanted to style it. The color is beautiful and will complement nearly all skin tones, and while the lace ups the femme factor, its shape keeps it polished and crisp. The glittery heels add the perfect amount of springtime sparkle - so fun! I kept the rest of the accessories simple and clean: pearl studs and a supple nude clutch finish it off just right.

XOXO,
Kate

Hooray for love...and these perfect summer outfits. Check out Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand in gingham button-downs, slim white pants, and white flats. A classic, casual, and stylish look for relaxing on a warm summer's day - be it shopping or milling about on the ranch. To quickly catch the full view of their outfits, skip to the very end. Or, you can just watch the entire great performance. :)
Below, some suggestions for re-creating the look.

Fresh and Fun

Fresh and Fun by Pretty Keen featuring heel pumps

Trina Turk stretch top, $198
St. John Yellow Label cotton stretch pants, $395
Valentino heel pumps, $745
MARC JACOBS 'Lola' Eau de Parfum, $88

 With summer in mind, I decided to post this set I put together for a contest held by Nordstrom a little while ago. My main objective was to keep the look...fresh and fun, what else? The colors are so enticing, and just exude a summery chic, resort-style feel. The structure of the shoe is so beautiful, it's no wonder they're Valentino. Slender white pants are a wardrobe staple and have just the crispness the other pieces need to really be rocked. And the perfume? Well, the bottle just seems to fit, doesn't it? ;) 

XOXO, 
Kate 
P.S. Happy (belated) Cinco de Mayo!
