Style Guide: An Afternoon In The Park

Now that we’re well into spring, my mind is starting to drift to lazy days spent outside. One of my happiest memories growing up is trekking to the local forest preserve for a family picnic. It was so nice to see everything come back to life again — us included! — after the humdrum winter months.

The only problem? Well, let’s just say I wasn’t the most fashionably conscious lady back then — certainly not like I am today. So to make up for it, make sure you pack these eight essentials the next time you head out to the park…

Picnic basket, $39.99 | Straw hat, $34.50 | Checkered shirt, $39 | Binoculars, $12.99 | Bird Bingo, $29.95 | Comfy pillow, $28 | Lilly Pulitzer tumblers, $25 | Floral picnic blanket, $45

What about you, friends?? Have you taken any picnics yet this year?? What was on your Must-Pack List? And just for fun, what’s your favorite picnic food? xoxo

Style Guide: Cool Coachella Chic

Let’s just state the obvious: I’m not sure I’d be cool enough to attend Coachella. The famed music and all around awesome festival, which kicked off last week in California, is a veritable who’s who of what’s hip in 2016 — I’m guessing it’s sort of like the Woodstock of our generation. But like I said, I don’t think I’d pass the Cool Factor Test to get past security.

I am, however, a budding fashionista, and next to the music, Coachella is ALL about putting style front and center. So! How about we live vicariously through these seven picks and enjoy our own little Coachella…

Tassel necklace, $38 | Neon tropical flower garland, $19.50 | Body glitter, $7.99 | Patterned dress, $69.95 | Printed fan, $14 | Purple sunglasses, $20 | Wallet, $18

That’s it…all I want to do for the rest of the day is prance and dance through a field, swaying to the music of my soul. Who’s with me?? xoxo

Style Guide: St. Patty’s Day Sparkle

Don’t let my red hair fool you: I have zero Irish heritage in me. But that still doesn’t mean I couldn’t look for my pot at the end of the rainbow today!

Funny t-shirt, $16.99 | Leprechaun socks, $4.02 | LOVE tote, $14.95 | Hair set, $10 | Jade beaded bracelet, $48 | Four-leaf clover necklace, $58

Style Guide: Valentine’s Day

When we think of Valentine’s Day, we typically think of teddy bears, flowers and chocolate. But fashion? That’s not usually at the top of the list.

Classic red dress, $42 | Metallic rose gold head scarf, $20 | Mixed Emotions Heart Pin, $10 | Gold heart ring, $24 | Rhinestone necklace, $13.99 | Owl-shaped lip gloss, $3.90 | Faux swede pumps, $24.90 | Coin purse, $58

Style Guide: Desert Boho Chic

Today, we have our very first Style Guide inspired by a movie! Over vacation, Janelle and I watched Thelma & Louise for the first time. I know, talk about being some 25 years late, but I found myself enthralled with it and will be sharing some of my more critical thoughts on the film on Thursday!

But on the surface, I couldn’t help but notice a third main character: The Southwest. The desert provided the perfect backdrop and piqued my interest in all sorts of new fashion trends. Here, a round-up of some classic Southwest Americana picks as inspired by the film…

Stone arrowhead necklace, $33 | Brass geometric cuff, $35 | Leather burgundy purse, $67 | Western booties, $53.97 | Studded belt, $60 | Felt Western hat, $21.77 | Tribal temporary tattoos, $9.99 | Go Your Own Way tee, $29.99 | High-waisted jeans, $17.90

Thoughts, friends? Do you have a favorite boho look? I don’t know about you, but those flashy tattoos look fun!!! xoxo
