Take A Dip!

Dip dyed clothes and even accessories have come back in full force this season! And they are more versatile than ever. You are now seeing not only bright colors being dip dyed but also darker shades so this is a trend that you can find both in day and evening wear! I will show you a variety of both!

Here is my first pick of the day this shaded magenta skirt from Express for $49.50. You could easily play on the bright or dark side of this skirt depending on the time of day or occasion!



How about accessorizing with this dip dyed scarf? Available in three colors, it would style up a crisp white t shirt or tank easily! This one from Kmart for $6.39.



My next three selections are a little more pricey than I like BUT I feel they are totally worth it if you have something special coming up or a little extra cash saved!

I think this dress is amazingly chic! The roped look of the straps is a great detail and sort of gives this dress the "goddess" look. This dress is $169.99 from Bluefly.




Next up I chose this truly elegant silk top available at Nordstrom's for $98. This piece also has the twisted straps and the graduation of colors is like a feast for the eyes!






And finally...for my last piece I chose a stunningly shiny bag! The shading is splendid! Made by Guess and costs $115.





Wasn't that fun? Another great reason why I think this will be one of the best years in fashion yet!

Get Inspired By Nature!

Birds, butterflies, trees and more! They are all part of nature and they are all finding their way to adorn our wears! Everything from shoes, jewelry and dresses.

I happen to be partial to birds...in particular swallows! There is a lot of pretty jewelry out there decorated with these little guys. Check out these cute locket earrings from Target for $17.99.

What about these adorable peep hole pumps covered with a leafy jungle print! Three different colors to choose from and available at Charlotte Russe for $22.99.


Give this butterfly scarf a try with a khaki colored shirt dress to snazz it up a bit. An absolute steal at $5.80 from Forever 21.




Check out this amazing tree patterned dress from Delia's. Its light cotton material is just what is needed on a hot summer day! Price tag: $39.50




And finally I found this spectacular wallet from Urban Outfitters for $36. I love the cool sumi ink inspired watercolor print in the background but most of all I LOVE the gold snake especially because his tail wraps around the entire wallet and also serves its purpose as the snap closure! How innovative :)



Now that's a pretty easy trend to incorporate into your lifestyle...don't you think? Especially if you have a fondness for a particular creature, flower, etc. If nature makes it you are bound to find it on an article of clothing or a pair of earrings or something you can wear! So get looking!

Add Some Height!

Wedges continue to be a popular choice for the upcoming seasons. With so many varieties and styles you can easily spice up your outfit with the right wedge shoe. Not to mention they add great height and length to your legs....and who doesn't love the comfort of a wedge heel?

There are so many to choose from so I had an extra hard time trying to narrow down my selections but here are my top five all over best picks!

First up are these from Sears for $35.99. With basic black you can never go wrong! I love that the cork heel also has a little black block of color as well.



How about a splash of color? Red shoes can easily transform a nice outfit into a fantastic one! These are from Piperlime and are $40!





For something really fun try these satin shoes from Victoria's Secret. They come in two amazing patterns and also black and white. $49 each.



Nothings says summer like white sandals! Plus the detailing on the heels of these shoes makes them unique! Give these a try for $22.99 from Payless.



My absolute favorite pair would have to be these from Baker's. I adore their color and material but most of all the peak hole in the heel! Gorgeous! On sale for $49.99!



That's my round up for today! So, give you feet a break from stilettos and try some wedges! It's beginning to be that time of year again!
