Why the Bohemian Look is HUGE for 2014

Let me let you in on a secret: the summer style of 2014 is the native Indian tribal look. If you want to remain ahead of the game and raise your fashion stakes, then this is the look you want to opt for. Some like to go for the full on, headdress look, coupled with tan skirts and accessories, but the key is to really play it down for effortless chic. Think quirky silver jewellery, accents of tan and fringed handbags and you will be bang on trend all summer long. Fringed Satchels: Does our love for fringe ever...

A Little Mint Obsessed

Accessories•Shopping

I have a serious obsession with all things mint right now. Okay, mostly just with mint handbags. And with a price tag under $50 on all of these bags, it would be okay to buy them all, right?! While I should be in Kansas City today for Go Blog Social, there were a few flight issues. It is a long story that I am going to save for another day… can’t complain though! Have gotten a lot done at home. Anyway, hope you have a fabulous weekend! Mod Girl Satchel Clutch Bag Small Crossbody Crossbody Bag with Tassel Quilted...

Leopard Layers

Outfits

I am so happy to have the opportunity to work with Front Row Shop, who sent me some basics to review. This long-sleeve navy t-shirt is just what I’ve been looking for to add to my weekend wardrobe. It is extremely soft and sheer, so perfect for layering, and it has thumb holes. I used to think thumb holes were strange and annoying, but I’ve ordered a couple tops from Ellie for working out that have them, and after wearing those, I now love thumb holes! I simply roll up the ends of the sleeves when I don’t want...

Floral Blazer

Fashion•Outfits

This past weekend my older sister, her fiance and my parents were in town to take care of some wedding tasks. The wedding is taking place in downtown Minneapolis in October, so they get to travel here to get everything planned. I LOVE it because that means I don’t have to travel and I still get to see my family more this year. Win, win WIN! Anyway, to run errands such as choosing the groom’s tuxedo, taking a look at the chapel and wedding photo opportunities (and grabbing a mid afternoon beer), I thought it would be a great...

Statement Bag

Accessories•Outfits

When it comes to fashion and your own personal style, it’s all about making a statement. Sometimes the best way to make a statement is with loud, fun accessories. I typically do this with a statement necklace (because it simply does what you want it to… its in the name after all), but there is nothing better than making your outfit complete with a handbag. Statement handbags, such as this beautiful rustic rose sequin bag, deserve the spotlight in your outfit. Opting for neutral colors or simple structured pieces will help the bag pop and give you a clean...

Moments That Take Your Breath Away

Outfits

When I realized I have seen family I don’t see very often including my aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, mom, dad, grandma and bf’s family all within two weeks. That never happens. How lucky am I? When the bf and I tore up the dance floor at my friend’s wedding to my favorite Lady Gaga song “Bad Romance” and he picked me up off the floor, twirled me around and dipped me at the end of the song. Man he’s good on the dance floor. Man I love Lady Gaga tunes. Yesterday morning when I realized (while I was all...

Metallic Shine

Outfits

Last time I wore this shirt (seen here), I paired it with a neutral bandage skirt, so this time I wanted to add even a little more to already bright and loud patterned top, so I added a bit of metallic shine with my pencil skirt and gold sparkly flats. It was one of those days that I just needed to wear flats to work, and this bow tie sequin gold pair along with my leo flats are my go-tos (even though you’ll usually see me in heels at work). A simple braid on both sides and I was...
