April 30th

I love this look. To me, it is just effortless and comfortable. As my blog continues, you will notice that my Versace tortoise sunglasses are a staple, I can't get enough of them. My Rag and Bone orange denim leggings bring a taste of spring to my ensemble thanks to the bold color and my leopard wedges nicely add to my look. Also, you'll notice that my necklace will be a staple in many of my looks which I purchased from Primark in England. Primark has some of the best and most innovative accessories at extremely affordable prices. I always stock up when I'm in London!!

Stripes, Stripes, & more Stripes

Stripes are everywhere this spring and they will definitely be around for summer. What I love about this trend is that you can keep it simple or bold by mixing different stripe patterns. Despite how you like to wear the trend there is something for everyone. One of my must-haves for the season is the blue and navy maxi skirt from J.Crew.  I haven't worn it yet, but I had to have it!

Swimsuit Season is Quickly Approaching...

While I was at the gym last night it occurred to me that swimsuit season is almost here! Naturally that motivated me to workout a little harder, but it also got me thinking about what swimwear looks I want to be wearing this coming season. Right now, I'm all about the one piece. It's extremely fun, flirty, has an understated sexiness, and comes in all of this seasons hottest trends. These are some of my favorites of the season!

Jeffrey Campbell, One of My Favorite & Affordable Shoe Designers

What's not to love about Jeffrey Campbell? I have been wearing his shoe styles for years, and every season he gets more creative and innovative. Some of my favorite styles for this spring/summer are color block (of course!), cut-outs, pastels, fringe, and white. Here is what I found in the Jeffrey Campbell arsenal for SS'12 that I am obsessed with!!

Colorblock Denim, You Can't Live Without

This is one of my favorite denim trends of the season. The colorblock panelling is not only slimming, but I love the menswear inspiration. The pops of color keep the look fresh, and while these styles may look the same, each brand did a great job taking a different spin on the trend. J Brand incorporated faux zippers on both the front and back pockets, Hudson went bold with bright highlighter colors, and Rag and Bone went streamline and sophisticated. A season must-have!

A Classic Twist on this Seasons Hottest Trends from J.Crew

I absolutely love J.Crew and this summers collection truly excites me. I think it's great how they took this summers biggest trends and put a classic spin on them. All of these are must have, affordable pieces, that would be a great accent to every wardrobe. I know that I want them to be part of mine!

This floral print is charming and adds a fun flare to a traditional pencil skirt.

Of course, we can't live without polka dots this season. This polka dot pattern on the cafe capri pant is bold without being overwhelming.

Denim, denim, denim! I adore this denim shirt dress. Worn loose or belted, it is extremely flattering, and a great addition to every wardrobe.
