When I first saw this Ostwald Helgason skirt on Shopbop I couldn't stop thinking about it. I absolutely love the colorblocking in this skirt and how the diagonal seams bring a modern edge to this fit-and-flare skirt. So when I finally broke down and bought it, as you could imagine, I couldn't wait to wear it. The best part about colorblocking is that with more than one color in the skirt you are likely to find many items that work with it. The rust/orange/peach color family seems to be my go-to color of the season. It seems to be in a ... Read more...

One Crop Top, Two Ways
One item ever girl needs this season is a crop top. While some might be skeptical, I believe you can pull off a crop top at work. Not all do double duty, working for the weekend and for work, but this long sleeve version by Nicholas is one that totally does. Here's how I styled one crop top, two ways.

You can pull out the blue like I did here by wearing blue ... Read more...
Label for Less
It's been feeling like Summer for quite some time now, but since Summer officially kicks off on Saturday, I thought this weeks Label for Less should be about my Summer go-to which is sandals.

Cobalt Crop Top
Ever since I bought this cobalt crop top from Anthropologie I have been wanting to wear it any chance I get! The color is just so vivid but really works with everything. I've considered navy blue to be a neutral along with the usual suspects but not cobalt, until now. Maybe it's the fact that everything in my closet currently works great with the color cobalt or I'm just now realizing it because I now have a cobalt crop top that is versatile and I adore it! I've been trying to switch it up lately since summer weather came a ... Read more...
Perfect Summer Maxi
Right when the weather started to warm up I was on the hunt for the perfect summer maxi. Now, I have a number of summer dresses in my closet already, that are work and weekend appropriate, but knowing that long hot summer days are in my very near future I would need a few more to mix in so that I wasn't going to be wearing the same few on rotation. Thanks to a perfect collaboration between Banana Republic and Marimekko I found the perfect summer maxi! It wasn't easy to obtain, said dress, because 1. I wasn't able to hit up Banana ...
