We're on the cusp of summer my closet so clearly reflects that.  If you've been following along here then you know by now that my style is reflective two basic elements.  Those being, neutrals and a capsule wardrobe.  I really have to admit that I've never been happier than I am now when it comes to building the looks I want to wear.  And, that's likely because a simple color palette combined with 

really good, well-fitting basics let me put together just so many looks I love.  

Today's look works off the simple concept of denim paired with some high-low pieces that easily elevate as well as relax an outfit with minimal effort.  I love a great pair of high-waisted denim as it always seems to hug the body in all of the most flattering places.  This pair looks quite nice paired with an easy short sleeve blouse, a pair of sandals and a really gorgeous tote.  I'm obsessing over this one at the minute.

And, you can just as easily take the look out in warmer weather by swiping out jeans for a pair of Bermuda shorts in a nice camel color for summer.  Trainers are always an easy option to dress a look down a bit or take the same pieces out in the evening along with some scrappy sandals and small clutch.

Gold earrings and a gorgeous pair of sunnies are two items can can't seem to go without.  This pair is stunning with nearly everything you might be wearing this season.  And one of my favorite gold jewelry brands has lots of delightful options if you are searching for something similar to these.

I hope these looks and bits of advice inspire you to build a look that is similar and take it with you wherever you are going.  All the pieces mentioned are linked in the thumbnails below.  Please let me know how you like them!

Hello everyone and happy Monday!  Whether the first day out of the weekend is something you love or you're team "one more day", one thing remains true.  You still want to find ways to dress that suit your mood and your style.  For me, I know that sometimes that means relaxed style and in other moments it translates into minimalist chic that's ready for anything.  For today's post, I've combined both options to give us the best of all worlds.  

This dress instantly caught my eye and with such good reason.  I love the color of course as all things neutral own my heart.  But, the style and shape are equally alluring on this one.  I love the high neckline and easy drape of the silhouette.  Clearly, it would easily complement a variety of body shapes and both petite and tall heights.  

A pair of easy sandals or some nice trainers would again both work with this dress depending upon the look you are going for.  Pop on some gold jewelry and a cute sun hat and you are set.  Contrastingly, if you are keeping it quite casual then perhaps you might want to reach for something a bit more along the lines of this summer sweater and these walking shorts.  

I love the soft look and feel of this one and how it blends so seamlessly from one season into another. Pair it with some Bermuda shorts and a pair of loafers for an easy running around look.  A long handled bag like this one is a closet chameleon and would be a perfect choice for either look.  A pair of rose colored glasses rounds out everything we've done here and finishes off my picks for ways to say to hello to a new week.  

Hope you're all enjoying the last full month of summer and getting ready for autumn.  Just the thought makes me giddy.  Haha, more to come on that in the future.  Til then, happy summer!

By now you know that neutrals. are my most beloved favorite when it comes to getting dressed.  In addition to that, I'm noticing that I am also starting to really enjoy matching sets that perhaps do or do not "match" in the most conventional of ways.  

Essentially, when a said top and bottom color coordinate in just the right way, I consider it to be a matching pair.  Of course, some brands and designers are consciously designing these lovely little sets which is grand.  But, there's nothing saying you can't simply pull together a top and similarly shaded bottom and create your own look.

While it's still July, I find myself loving a long silk and linen skirt offset by a chic silk blend tank in a creamy ivory tone.  And, as fall eventually approaches, I can see myself reaching for a smart blazer worn with a matching shade of Bermuda shorts layered over a nice white or ivory colored tank.

Flutter sleeved sweaters are always a feminine favorite of mine.  This version would look so nice paired with a set of belted linen shorts and a straw hat like this one.  A rattan bag is always a welcome accessory and this one is no exception.

Finally, if you find yourself unable to part with all the wonderful comfort we've become so accustom to then a fleece set like this one might be worth considering.  I love the sleeve and pocket detail that add just the right amount of interest without saying a word.  And, let's not forget this minimalist white set which may be my most favorite of all.  So easy and so of the moment.  It is ultra-comfortable yet somehow always looks so effortlessly chic.  It doesn't get any better than that.  

I hope you're all enjoying a wonderful Monday!

The first week of summer certainly did not disappoint.  I think I speak for us all when I say that it feels so extraordinarily good to have regained some sense of normalcy right now as compared to this time last year. No matter what it is you love doing, I'm so hopeful that you are doing it in great style right now.

Today's post celebrates the everyday moments with some feminine details that are perfect for just so many things right now.  Never being one to simply spend for the sake of spending, my everyday essentials really need to work for their spot in my closet.  I know you've heard me say this before but it really remains true that mix and match pieces are pretty much all I will entertain when it comes to building a look.  

Floaty linen pants, classic style shorts, feminine-detailed tops and cognac-toned accessories can easily combine to create such a great variety of looks.  Each will pair so nicely with one another while creating different looks perfect for so many situations.  Another nice thing is that creating any sort of wardrobe in this way makes such light work of vacation packing which we know is always a good thing.

The links to these pieces are listed below should you find something to love here.  Wherever the first weekend of summer brings you, I trust you'll make it a good one.  Thanks for sharing part of it here with me!

For most of us I think that summertime dressing is all about the everyday easy.  These pieces here today are all simple wardrobe staples that are going to work effortlessly together to create multiple looks, each one perfect for a summery day.  

Delicate florals are a smart place to start.  The pattern is always appropriate and the looks they create can easily become a bit dressed up or down depending upon the mood of the day.  This lovely little blouse is just right for summer and works with everything from Bermuda shorts and sandals to a blazer and maxi skirt.  

Summer knits are also something I can never get enough of.  Whether it be unpredictable weather patterns or the chill of the air conditioning, I always like opportunity to have a way to add a little light cover if I'm ever needing a bit of warmth.  

Sandals, slides and straw totes are my standbys as you likely know by now, haha.  All neutrals all the time of course as they provide the easiest ways to build a variety of outfits from just a few key pieces.  

These pieces are perfect for right now and what I'll be reaching for all summer long.  If you love them too, I've linked them in the thumbnails below for a closer look.  Enjoy!
