Denim + Lace

Mixing something very feminine with something more masculine is the oldest trick in the book when it comes to styling. It keeps a look from being too saccharin or too boyish, the perfect balance. And no combination is as easy as soft lace and classic denim. I feel like this combo especially looks great during season transitions, like right now. Here is how I would wear it...

Shirt: Cloth & Stone $88, Skirt: Trina Turk $248

Romper: Liv $196, Jacket: Madewell $118 

Top: Cupcakes & Cashmere $100, Jeans: Paige $179

Top: J. Crew $50, Jeans: J. Crew $115

Skirt: Cupcakes & Cashmere $95, Shirt: Loft $59

Top: Anthropologie $68, Jeans: Madewell $135

Shorts: Anthropologie $68, Shirt: Madewell $70

Dress: Madewell $168, Jacket: Treasure & Bond $52 (on sale) 

Happy Monday!

What I am Packing: Memphis

We are headed to Memphis this weekend without the babes (!) to celebrate my MIL's birthday. Matt's Southern family there is so fun and friendly, it is going to be great weekend. I hope to hit up some local spots as well so I can share next week. Any suggestions? It is going to be steamy there all weekend, so I am packing light. Here are the pieces I am squeezing into my carry on and hoping I do not sweat through them. 

1. The best white tee to wear with everything. J. Crew. 

2. The white tee and my favorite denim cut offs (J. Crew) will be perfect for walking around. 

3. My Claire Vivere goes with everything in my book. Easy to pack too. 

4. My new favorite sandals from Madewell. 

5. I love this graphic stripe skirt (Theory) to wear with the white tee for dinner. 

6. For the party, I will sport this Alice + Olivia. It is one of the most flattering dresses I own. 

7. I am rediscovering the amazingness of MAC Lip glass in Pink Poodle. 

8. Light and breezy dress for a trip to Graceland. These ASOSs skater dresses are the best. 

9. The heel that goes with everything. Stuart Weitzman 

10. My Jennifer Zeuner bracelet with the kids names on it to remember them while we are away.

Enjoy your weekend!

Making a Comeback: The Denim Dress

Remember that denim dress you sported in the nineties? You know, that one from the Gap that you wore all Spring and most of that summer? Well, it is time to relive that time, but I promise it will be so much better. Instead of scrunch socks and keds, pair with booties or ballet flats and your fav tote. Loving this and really did they ever go out of style? 

1. I bought this one from J. Crew. It is crazy soft and comfortable. It feels like I am wearing a nightgown all day. $122

2. The dark wash of this Current Elliot could make it dressy enough for a night out $220

3. I love the wash of this L'agence style $154

4. I know a lot of ladies who would rock this Asos Maternity dress with their bumps this Spring $$75

5. Worship this MiH shirt dress with the longer hem in the back $285 

6. The bow back of this Asos smock dress is sweet  $76

Denim Topper

The easiest jacket to add to your Fall closet is a denim one. Cropped, bleached, biker, dark wash. Any style can easily top off your favorite warm weather looks to get you through the chiller temps. I am in the market for a new one and love the styles that these ladies are sporting. 

It is hard to pick which style to go with. All four of the below are similarly cut, with a slim fit and sleeves ample enough to fold up. I  have always gone with dark because it seems so versatile, but these more vintage washes have me second guessing. 

1. Gap / 2. J. Crew / 3. Rag & Bone (on sale) / 4. Rag & Bone

A smart shirt, scalloped shorts, that midi style skirt you are dying to try, a comfy t shirt dress, or a printed maxi would be a nice addition, right? 

1. Club Monaco / 2. Asos /  3. Asos / 4. J. Crew / 5. Chinti & Parker / 6. Asos / 7. Velvet 

It weirdly feels like Fall already, although I am sure that it will be hot as hell again in a week or two. Getting excited for shopping for real clothes. I have taken yoga pants to a whole new level during these last weeks. Happy shopping!
