As a little girl, Tinkerbell was one of my favorites…she had style, free spirit and an amazing ability to whip the boys in shape. Well, move over Tink, Peter Pan has something on you this spring…a fabulous, eye-catching collar.
Yes, Peter Pan collars, or my less favorite name “Pilgrim Collars,” are a great way to spice up a basic outfit. Drab to fab in an instant! Where the tuxedo shirt was your go to for winter, your Peter Pan shirt will be your go to for spring.
You can go bold with a collar like this one from F21 or to try the trend in a more subtle way, go for a collar in the same color as your blouse like this onefrom ASOS.
If you are not in the market for another shirt, never fear, dresses with Peter Pan Collars are popping up everywhere…
They can be casual, paired with lady like ballet flats or dressed up with platforms and an oversized cocktail ring.
Whatever look you choose, the Peter Pan collar is a subtle way to add femininity and yes, whimsy, to your look.
I’ve been desperately searching for a grown up interpretation of this trend and I’ve finally found it in this skirt!
Aztec prints have been a summer trend for the last few years, but presented in ripped tees and styles that appeal to the high-school set, I usually skip them because they just feel a little to young for me.
Higher-end lines like All Saints always seem to strike the right balance with this print but it’s been a real challenge to find anything that looks sophisticated enough (at a budget friendly price) for those of us who are over thirty!
And then came this skirt…which works for two reasons, the muted color palette and the sequins. I can’t wait to wear this out once the weather gets a little warmer and I plan on styling it similar to the picture for both day and night.
A classic white button-down helps balance out the sexiness of the hemline and dressiness of the sequins…when it comes to shoes, you could just as easily style it with flat gladiator sandals or a pair of high-heel sandals!
Sometimes I feel like a broken record when I talk about the necessity of a fabulous nude pump in every woman’s wardrobe.
This shoe is perfect for hard to figure out fashion situations where you stand in front of the mirror asking “what shoe would look good with this?”…it’s perfect for those days when you feel 10lbs heavier and need an instant slim down and it’s essential on any day when you want to look chic, sophisticated and put together.
I’ve had my nude (almond-toe) Louboutin Pigalle pumps for more than six years now…it was one of my first big splurge items and in that time they’ve more than paid for themselves. I’ve worn them countless times and they still look just as good as they did on the day I bought them…with the help of my very talented cobbler!
But lately I’ve been into a pointier toe…like the new Pigalle update, called the Pigalle Plato. This toe feels so fresh and while I’m tempted to splurge again, I have a feeling this toe is more of a fad than a classic look.
So when I found this style from Nine West I was beyond excited. The shade is slightly cooler than the Louboutin, but the toe and the thin platform are almost identical. And for under $100 you can’t beat the price! I own this style in a black satin version and they are one of the most comfortable pairs of pumps in my closet. I wore them out right after I bought them and NO blisters!
If you are in the market for a new nude pump or are looking for an update to the ones you have I can’t recommend a better choice!
With so many of us heading out for Spring Break or a little cold weather get-a-way, I thought it would be fun to spotlight the “local trends” in one of my favorite warm weather destination…Miami!
Miami has so much to offer its locals and visitors. From gorgeous beaches to endless shopping, there is something for everyone. When they aren’t in bikinis, Miami-goers are often found wearing vibrant clothing.
During a warm day, there’s nothing quite like relaxing at the pool or beach! A Leaf Chiffon Caftan Dress from Jennifer Lopez is perfect for Miami because it’s vibrant and easy to throw on over a wet bikini.
