Black and Gold and Neon Pink

Another day, another outfit. Lily wanted to make an appearance. Again, the shirt I'm wearing is from T.J. Maxx, my jeans are from Forever 21, the bag is also from Forever 21 and my shoes are from DSW (unfortunately they don't sell them online so you'll have to visit your local store to check for them!) 

Here are some similar options to create this look:

Blouse: option 1, option 2

Earrings: option 1, fancy option, fun option

Jeans: option 1, option 2

Purse: option 1, clutch option, Cole Haan option (that I love)

Heels: option 1, option 2

And here is the polyvore outfit:

Chiffon blouse / J Brand skinny jeans / GUESS shoes / Leather handbag / Gorjana long feather earrings / ASOS spike jewelry

Summer Shoe Trends

This weekend I’m taking a trip to my boyfriend’s family beach house. I’m super excited because we haven’t gotten to the beach this summer and I love it down there. Another factor in my excitement is that there are outlets and shoportunities everywhere in the neighboring towns. I put together a list of summer shoe trends that I love and will be keeping my eyes pealed for.

Embellished sandals / Betsey Johnson wedge sandals / TOMS slip on shoes, $55 / Giuseppe Zanotti wedge sandals / Splendid high heel shoes / Nelly Shoes high heel shoes, $62 / DV by Dolce Vita thong sandals / Flat shoes / Bootie boots

1.     Bright Comfy Flats

·   I love my red classic TOMS, I wear them all the time and they are definitely my quick go to. Similar to these are Sperry topsiders which have great patterns

2.     Mint

·  Mint is definitely a huge color this summer and these heels are great to match with pretty much anything. Mint has quicly become a neutral and since it’s so popular, the color with be everywhere!

3.     Patriotic

·   Especially with 4^th of July festivities (and it is an election year) the red white and blue is a great trend to follow. These wedges would look great with a white sundress

4.     Neon

·  Like mint, neon is everywhere you look! These are a great pair of color block heels but any pop of neon makes an outfit instantly more fun. Neon is a great look for day or night so if that BQQ turns into a night out you’re all set!

5.     Metallic Accents

·  I love this trend! It’s like jewelry for your feet! Which is great because I wasn’t ever a big fan of anklets and toe rings. It adds some sparkle and it ties a look together when you wear fun jewelry. Spikes are a common addition that are edgy and cool.

6.     Aztec Patterns

·   I’ve seen this pattern all over. It’s great because its colorful and fun- perfect for summer! It also has so many colors that you can wear solid colors and still not have a boring outfit. Wedges are great too, they don’t sink into the grass at a BBQ!

7.     Leopard

·    I’ve always liked the look of leopard thrown into an outfit and these loafers are perfect for that. They go with pretty much everything and they are a great alternative to plain black or brown flats. I love the look of leopard and red together. 

8.     Chunky heels

·  These have been something I've wanted to try but I want to try a pair on before I order them. I'm hoping they look good because I love them. I'm picturing them with a hi-low cotton skirt, they would look awesome!

9.     Embellishments

·   I'm totally into this one- the more glam and sparkle the better! Beading, sequins, and glitter work on everything- casual flats to night-on-the-town pumps. These sandals are great because they can go either way!
