Crushing on Crop Tops

7 Comments

The beauty of a crop top is it is not the 90’s belly shirt.. you don’t necessarily have to have a flat tummy to rock one.
Choose the right bottoms such as high-waist shorts or a flare skirt and anyone can rock a crop top. Contrary to what people may think, crop tops are actually very flattering on many body types because it bring attention to the ribcage, below the breasts and above the waists, which is usually the thinnest part of women’s (curvy or not!) bodies.
Have you rocked a crop top this summer?

Red Solo Cup

4 Comments

For some reason, the red solo cup country song really makes me think of the start of summer. I love barbeques, going out on the Long Island Sound boating, playing backyard volleyball, and just enjoying the beautiful weather. This weekend, since it’s Memorial Day, I will try to be festive with some patriotic colors as well as really pay honor to the people that serve. Thank you for all that you do. My dad is a navy veteran and anyone who chooses the path to serve our country is a hero in my book.
What are your Memorial Day weekend plans?

Wednesday’s Look for Less

5 Comments

My rule of thumb is to splurge on the classics and save on the trends. A LBD that you will wear to every other fwedding? Splurge. That romper that you want to wear for a bachelorette party? Save. A classic trench for every season?  Splurge. You get the picture! Invest in your classics and get the look for less on some looks to save some cash for your next fashion investment.  Once in a while, however, something is so unique, that you simply have to splurge in fear that you may never come across it again.  This is best to do on vacation, especially since there will be a fun story behind the piece!

What pieces do you think are work splurging on?

Distressed to Impress

10 Comments

When I was in high school and college, I lived in my Hollister ripped jeans.  I remember shopping with my mom and she would say, “You want me to pay for these jeans?”  Distressed clothing, including torn and faded jeans, are still a staple in my wardrobe.  I love how you can dress up distressed denim with some pumps or dress them down with some casual sneakers.

What is your favorite distressed piece of clothing? How do you style your ripped jeans?

Topshop Valentine

Topshop Valentine

As a Topshop ambassador I am a little bias but I do LOVE their feminine yet edgy pieces. I love this wrap skirt and scalloped shirt and those bow shoes, I totally have on my wishlist. Although I hate the commercialization of Valentine’s Day, I’ll take any excuse to wear hearts & pink.
