Trend Alert! Let's Go Fishing
I have been fishing around (if I must say) for an uber cool unconventional hemline lately. We all know floor grazing maxis are a current must, but what about something more unique and dramatic? Fishtails, also called 'high-low hems' are hitting the runways!
I personally have been looking for a fishtail floral maxi that resembles this one:
This dress is a vintage beauty, handcrafted into a fishtail maxi. GirlOnAVine, $169.00
I love the dramatic effect of these dresses. They are so fun!
This version is for sale at Nastygal
The high-low hems are great, you can go as dramatic or subtle as you please. They allow for maxi elegance and girly playfullness! This is one bandwagon worth jumping on, cause this trend is here to stay!
Ohh, the beautiful life!
Love,

Make a Statement
If you're anything like me, you have a multiple closets and dressers FULL of clothing...yet still, on those random, bad weather, wake-up late types of days, you feel like you have absolutely NOTHING to wear. Those days are by far the worst days imaginable. To me, there is nothing worse, than being late in the morning, already feeling like you look like crap, and then being unable to put together an outfit that takes the tired out of your eyes. You end up storming out of the house 15 minutes late, and bitter because for the whole day you will hate your outfit. This same scenario happened to me, one day, a couple months ago, and I vouched to fix something in my wardrobe so this wouldn't happen again. After many trials and tribulations, I have come up with two life saving styling tips!
Tip Number 1: Find the perfect STATEMENT necklace!

A cool statement necklace has helped me leave the house on time since my little fiasco a couple months ago. It is so easy and stylish! I love to wear mine over almost anything, but especially over a crisp white blouse and jeans:
It's amazing how much glam a simple necklace adds! I got this one at Forever 21 for $7.80:
A statement necklace uses little thought for a lot of style, which makes it my number one style tip. Here are a few others I love:
LBVie $18.00
Anthropology, $58
Forever 21, $5.80
Topshop, $60

You definitely don't have to go over the top with these, just have fun and play around. Next time you're in a jam, or think your outfit is too boring and simple, throw a great statement necklace on! I promise, it will increase your chic points instantly! :)
Life saving styling tip Number dos:
Let's save this one for another post :) :)
Ohh, the beautiful life!!

Step into Summer: Swim Edition!
Every year, as summer approaches I start dreading swimsuit season. I seriously cannot stand to see another woman wearing a triangle string bikini, drab, terry cloth, strapless swimsuit cover, and $1 Old Navy flip flops. I understand there is a time and place for everything, but just because we are going to the pool, or beach, or whatever, doesn't mean our sense of fashion has to come to a screeching halt. There are so many ways to be chic at the beach, starting with an uber cool swimsuit cover.
I think the problem with swimsuit cover-ups is just that...it doesn't have to be a 'swimsuit cover-up.' I typed 'Swimsuit cover-up' into google and came up with the same boring terry cloth strapless things. Think outside the box! Here is what I will be wearing over my swimsuits this season, and no, none of them are labeled 'Swimsuit Cover-ups'
Vintage Floral Brushstroke Rayon Blazer, $28 LBVie
Swim Romper, Urban Outfitters, $34
Kimono, Top Shop, $100
Crochet Tunic, Topshop, $60
Tent, Slouch, Star Zip-up, LBVie $24
Feather Dress, Top Shop $55
All of these beauty's can easily be worn to the beach! Pair them with a statement necklace and bright platforms, you've got yourself some serious beach fashion!
Vintage Statement Necklace. 1930s Heavy Bib. Bells, $120 Pinguim on Etsy
Jeffrey Campbell Frank Red Leather Rainbow Platform Sandals, $99 LuLu's
Vintage 1960s Italian Suede Rust Color Peeptoe Platform Sandals, $58 LBVie
Start with a cool cover-up and looking chic on the beach has never been easier! I am still looking for the perfect retro inspired swimsuit...but I currently have my eye on a few :)
In a Daze-y Two Piece, Modcloth $89.99
Beach Fireworks Swimsuit, Modcloth, $119
These are getting me so excited for pool weather!! :o) Can't wait!
Oh, the beautiful life! LBVie!!
