Vacation Mentality

ASTR Caftan / J. Crew Factory Bikini Top and Bottom / Old Hat (Similar here and here) / Ray-Ban Sunglasses

Summer is quickly approaching, but we really couldn't wait for it one second longer. We needed to jumpstart our vacation mentality so we hopped in the car and headed down to Laguna Beach to spend the weekend at a friend's vacation home.

It's good to have good friends with homes in beautiful places. 

If you're looking to get a jumpstart on your summer wardrobe, check out this caftan from ASTR and classic striped bikini from J. Crew Factory. The caftan is too sheer to wear on its own so plan on using it as a coverup or grab a slip to go under it. Even if you're nowhere near a beach, the flowy piece is enough to give you that island vacation mentality wherever you might be spending your days.

Saddle Bags (the good kind)

It's official. I've found the bag I'm coveting this spring. The Chloe Marci Saddle Bag in blush nude is my new favorite. It's not exactly a bargain so I've included four equally drool-worthy options below that are a bit more budget friendly. I think I'm grabbing the Rebecca Minkoff number myself. What about you?

Pleather For The Win

Pleather used to be a dirty word in my fashion vocabulary. Aside from the pretty unbeatable lime green vintage pleather couch that graced my college apartment, fake leather had no place in my home.

Today, it's a different story. There are so many great "vegan" leather options that won't break the bank. This skirt is just one of them. It's the perfect length, has pockets and is currently 33% off at Nordstrom, which means you can get the look of leather for only $56.28.

If leather is your thing, check out this crossbody bag by Rebecca Minkoff. The floral pumps from Banana Republic are no longer available, but there are lots of options out there at different price points including these, these and these.

 

New Year's Eve Dress Roundup

Nothing says New Year's Eve like a little metallic sparkle.

It's the one night of the year when you really can't overdo the bling so do it up with one of these dresses or the Free People jumpsuit. A few options are pretty form fitting, but the t-shirt dress and skater styles are great options if, like me, you've been overindulging just a touch this past week.

The only other sparkle you will need can be found here.
