Strappy

Do you guys watch Project Runway?  It is one of my FAVORITE shows.  And in this past episode, Edmond (one of my faves!) made a gorgeous pant suit complete with a cloud inspired vest.  It was one of my favorite looks of the week.  And the gorgeous, strappy top that he made, reminded me of one I have in my closet that I’ve never posted to the blog.  And so today, I thought it would be fitting to share a classic black and white look complete with a bright a lip.  A perfect Fall date night look inspired by one of my favorite shows!

Leather and Lace

I love this time of year when I can transition my summer dresses into the Fall season.  And even more than that, I love that I don’t have to put my white items away after Labor Day!  Because as perfect as this white lace dress was to wear during the summer months, I actually prefer it dressed up with Fall ready accessories.  And if you didn’t buy this FANTASTIC faux leather jacket last year (it is my absolute FAVORITE), it’s not too late, because Nordstrom brought it back again this season.  It really is just that good (and it’s under $100)!

Coral Crush

Sometimes I find that daytime events can be a bit tricky to dress for.  So when I had the chance to celebrate with my sister-in-law at her baby shower while we were on vacation a couple of weeks ago, I was feeling a bit stumped as to what to wear.  I knew I wanted to wear my new chiffon skirt from the Merle Norman store in Draper (see this post), but it felt a little dressy for a daytime event.  So after tearing through everything in my suitcase, I settled on a bright coral t-shirt tank (tied in a knot to tone things down a notch), and of course went with my all-time favorite tried-and-true neon coral pumps, and gold accessories.  And to be honest?  I LOVE the way this outfit turned out and think it would be the perfect choice for a plethora of occasions-day or night.

Bag Lady

I love handbags-like really love them.  They are my jam, if you will.  And every spring when I receive my annual bonus, I like to treat myself to a new one as a little reward for a year of hard work.  Usually I know without a doubt which one I want to add to my collection (last year was an amazing limited edition yellow studded Michael Kors), but this year I am on the fence.  It’s obvious I am gravitating towards a tote, but there are so many gorgeous bags available this spring that I just can’t seem to make a decision.  So I have to ask, which one of the below bags is your favorite?  And what style handbags are you all craving this Spring?  Spring "It" Bags
