Easter Best With an Edge

My Easter Sunday best. Have a great Easter!

Coming Up Roses

I must have this blazer. It is part of H&M's Garden Collection which everyone is talking about now, as it just hit stores. It is Spring line and also eco-friendly with organic cotton, linen, recycled polyester, and renewable material tencel. My favorite piece is this blazer with roses. Would look great with a pair of tight dark skinnies and sky high pumps. Check out the rest of the line here.

Obsession of the Week

Back to posting my Tuesday Obsession of the Week! I've been slacking but still having weekly fashion obsession need not to worry! This week I am loving cuffing your skinnies or boyfriend jeans. I just got a pair of white skinnies and wore them cuffed with some wedges for an extra Springy look. I personally also think it makes you look a bit taller for all of you shorter ladies. Cuff your pant twice where the pant will fall right above your ankle bone. Pair this look with wedges, flats, gladiators, pumps there is no limit to what you put on your feet with this style! Check out Jessica, Victoria, and Kim for inspiration.

Spring Break Done Right

This post was inspired by a true horrendous outfit sighting. I was stuck in the airport and saw a girl wearing the above. No joke. Homemade Spring Break tackiness. This is not ok.

I understand the excitement of going away for break but:

1. It isn't ok to advertise where you're going too many crazies out there

2. I am all about DIY but maybe a DIY Chloe shirt, last time I checked neither of these pieces were on the runway

3. You should dress for your best self no matter where you go.

So I put together some alternatives for you. For the travel I understand you want to be comfortable, ok so throw on some denim shorts, a nice light blouse, and some wedges. For the beach wear your suit and some bangles to dress it up. Going to dinner and drinks afterward? Throw on a bright caftan and your wedges and you're set. Come on ladies! Dress for your best self no matter where you are heading.

Obsession of the Week

This week I am obsessed with wooden wedges! With the clog making a come back, chunky and wooden platforms and wedges have been popping up all over the shoe departments. In my opinion the higher the better! These are great for your Spring dresses, wide leg linen trousers, rompers, shorts all of your warm wear. I suggest a neutral color to extend your leg and make you look taller. I got the Jeffrey Campbell "Miracle" for my birthday and have worn them non stop. They are not only adorable they're so comfortable!

Fashion Math: Rompers+Blazers

One of my favorite Spring trends that is blooming everywhere is pairing flirty rompers with blazers for a more refined look. This pairing would be great for work (if trendy wear is allowed), lunch/dinner, or a night out on the town. A definite day to night must. Add tights/pumps/flats whatever suits your mood! Check out Kourt and her blazer romper pairing!

Obsession of the Week

Tuesday: Time for obsession of the week. This week I find myself being drawn to cropped tops. Purchased a vintage inspired one from Forever 21 the other day and have been quite obsessed ever since. Pair them with boyfriend jeans, leggings, denim shorts over tights. Be careful dolls, I am not promoting sporting belly baring midriffs Britney circa 1999--these little numbers should skim right above the top of your pants. Don't like the thought of a little tummy showing? Wear a tight cami underneath. You could even make your own go to a thrift store and bust out some scissors! Topshop has quite the collection. I know more will be appearing in my closet soon enough. So 80's throwback love it!

Spring Must Haves

It is only February but Spring is all around! Here are some of my must haves for the upcoming season.

1. different take on the sky high wedge

2. lace and underwear inspired

3. acid wash anything

4. pastel funky cross body bags

5. floral duh

6.stripes another duh

7. neutrals

8. suede neutral ankle boot

Just cruise

My beautiful best friend's request. Sexy and chic cruise wear. Not too early to be thinking about working on our tans, mojito in hand. Plenty of suits, a maxi, nude sandals, caftan for day to night, wooden wedges sky high, over sized shades, and a scarf for a top the ship and as a wrap in the casino.

Trend Watch

As people are taking note of the upcoming Spring trends we can expect to be blossoming soon-I've been seeing abstract print dresses all over the place lately. I think they are a great transition trend from Winter to Spring, change out your tights when it gets warmer. Pumps, ankle booties, or sandals will look great paired with this little number. Jason Wu and Thakoon are designers sure to have this on their list of Spring designs.

lets talk jumpsuits

So I can't decide how I feel about jumpsuits. They have been popping up a lot more lately especially with Spring sprouting some takes on the look for warmer temperatures. I used to think jumpsuit= J.Lo circa Jenny on the Block days but now as the style has evolved I've been eyeing buying one myself! I think paired with the right accessories they can look very chic. A great Spring/Summer look that can go day to night (like the Maxi dress) which are my favorite looks.  I was on Express' website a few weeks ago and saw this cute gray jumpsuit that was long pants and sleeveless. I was really sad to see that it was already gone sold out :( But I have a feeling there will not be a shortage this summer. 

The short style of the jumpsuit or a romper has caught my eye as well and I bought one from Forever21 a little while back, it is green and black with a small belt that ties. When I worked at E! on the Daily 10 in wardrobe, Catt Sadler one of our hosts was always sporting these shorty styles. So I know that the shorts look cute on my 5'2 frame with high heels but what about the long pant style? Can us shorter ladies sport them?

I feel like this trend is a little on the risky side but I feel like if you choose the appropriate style for your body type that it would turn out to be quite a sophisticated look. I will say I do not think that the thick belted waist style of the jumpsuit I am not fan of and think its quite risky for any body type (not flattering) so when shopping for this style ladies:

• look for styles that suit your body type 
  
• look for slimming silhouettes slimmer cut up top and one that slowly bells out towards the bottom (if you're wearing the pant style) 
• if you're wearing the short style...make sure its not too tight around your assets ;)
•  choose the appropriate accessories not to flashy

Here's a look I put together on polyvore on how I would like to wear this jumpsuit trend.
