Trend Watch: Florals

 Midsummer is upon us and the celebs are sporting a lot of floral prints. I like floral's but they can be hard to style because the print is so busy and there's a thin line between pretty and matronly. To me, Penelope Cruz is tiptoeing right around the line but she manages to make that dress work. The best way to keep your floral dress looking stylish instead of plain is the fit (and to pair it with a dainty shoe, ahem-cough-miley, like a flat or sandal). Luckily, there's a floral frock for every shape and size. Above are some of my favorite options right now. Happy shopping!

Summer Tanks for Every Style

I apologize for the lack of post yesterday! I had some computer issues, but everything's back on track.

 As the weather heats up here I've been going through my summer blouse collection and figuring out what's still salvageable for the coming months. Luckily for my wallet, I still love most of my tanks from last year so I won't have to do too much shopping. However, I still plan on picking up a few new pieces to add to my closet. If you're looking to switch things up this summer try some of the styles above.

My normal style is usually pretty girly and feminine with a touch of boho. To mix things up I think it's good to have at least one or two pieces that don't fit into your normal comfort zone. If you're like me, instead of going girly, try going for that really sexy top once in awhile. Or mix things up with a retro tank like the one above. I find that wearing something out of your comfort range once in awhile allows you to break outside of that range in other areas too. To me summer is about opportunities to try new things and reinventing yourself, and I intend to take full advantage of that.
