We Love Our Boyfriends





We love our boyfriends for many reasons, big and small.   But, when it comes to fashion, one of the greatest reasons is being able to shop their closet.  From the classic white dress shirt to the comfy boyfriend jeans, his closet has long offered us girls amazing inspiration for some of our favorite fashion finds.  For me, it's the boyfriend cardi.  With so many colors, patterns and fabric choices the styling options are plenty.  I think what I really enjoy the most about this particular look is how you can really play up the feminine touches with just right accessories.  For example....


The Cardi Goes to Work:  Pair a super soft mohair cardi with a crisp blouse, pencil skirt and and your favorite mid-height heels.  Add a skinny patent leather or animal print belt, bangle bracelet and pretty pair of earrings and you're ready to join your clients for that business lunch.

The Cardi Goes Out to Play:  Pick a fun color combo cardi like the one featured here.  Navy with bordeaux trim and gold buttons is one look I'm seriously coveting right now.  I'd love this fall inspired-piece best when worn with dark denim skinnies, a menswear looking watch and a great pair of cognac colored boots.  Chill in the air?  Wrap a soft scarf around your neck, grab your cross body and you're ready for a cozy coffee date with your sweet guy.


Happy Monday and thanks, as always, for reading!

Falling for...Jewel Tones















With summer's days dwindling down, my mind is turning to chillier days and the role color will play this coming season.  As we part ways with the soft pastels and bright pops of summer color, replacing them will be their slightly more sophisticated sisters....the jewel tones.  This fall's color palette will be richly adorned with the likes of bordeaux, teal, golden mustard and navy blue.  What I find especially fun, is the way all these colors mix so well and how any all of them can be used to enhance the other.  Picture navy blue with playful peeks of magenta, black contrasting beautifully with gold or even the ever popular animal inspired pattern prints working with a beautiful shade of spruce.  Gorgeous!  So once again I say, isn't it great being a girl?  Have fun playing with color as you reinvent your fall closet!

Happy Friday and enjoy a wonderful weekend!
