Beyond the Aviator - Metal Sunglasses

Metal sunglasses are almost always in style. And when most people think of metal sunglasses, they think Aviators! And why not!? They are classic and stylish. And thats why I have included some today. But Metal goes beyond Aviators. what I like about Metal frames is the designs and shapes that can be created with them. Designers don't have to worry about embellishments to create the detail, they can do it with the metal, and this creates a more simple look, but still with stylish details and patterns.

Travel in Comfort and Still be Cute

Look of the Day!

Today's topic seems to be traveling, so, I thought I would stick with the theme for our Look of the Day. Traveling can be hard to dress for, especially when flying. You want comfort, but you don’t want to look like a slob when you reach your destination. I have put together an outfit that is very comfortable, but can also pass as a cute, simple outfit. This outfit works best for those traveling to either a warm destination, or during the warmer months. I find it is best to dress in layers. You never know if your plane will be stuffy and hot, or have the AC pumping and be freezing cold. I included a cardigan with this look to keep you warm. Just don't pair it with a belt like it is shown. I do think it is always best to wear slip on shoes. This makes for easy removal during check in. And don’t forget to have a decent size carry on to hold anything you don’t want to check. Choose a cute, large tote bag for your carry on from today’s feature items. I think the DvF tote or the JCrew Boardwalk bag (shown) would make a nice addition to this look. And who doesn't love Gaucho pants? I have worn them during the day and have also worn them to sleep in. They really are the best things since sliced bread! Happy traveling!

Blouse and High Waist Skirt

A great look right now is a plain, cute, white blouse being tucked into a high waist skirt. And pairing the outfit with HOT shoes is a must! This look here is a great way to get started with this trend. its simple, yet chic and girly. The colors are pretty neutral and toned down, so I added a funky orange bracelet to spice it up.

Pulling off Leggings

Look of the Day:
Not everyone can pull off the leggings trend. And many want to, but don't know how! Well there are so many cute tunics in most stores right now, and most of those tunics would pair well with leggings. It might just be a matter of taking some time and trying on a variety of different combos to see what will work for you. Here is a great combo I have thrown together for spring. And the tunic will last you through summer as well! With this outfit I went for the boho chic/ Mary-Kate Olsen look. If you want to try this outfit for summer, replace the boots for some cute flip flops!

Deal of the Day - Chloe Sunglasses

Chloe Myrte Sunglasses - $145 was $290 on Net-a-Porter.com. Not a bad deal at 50% off the original price! And they are very cute!

Classic and Comfy

Look of the Day:
This outfit can go with many occasions. Work, dinner, weekend, etc. I think its great for summer because you can enjoy the warm weather in this cute lace cami, but keep warm when you decide to go inside and the AC is booming! Dressing in layers is very smart for summer because of the AC. You don't want to catch a summer cold! But you still want to break out those cute summer clothes. This outfit is also a great example of mixing your designer pieces with non-designer pieces. And how it all comes together in creating a fab look!
