Summer Street Style

Check out the Summer St. Style of Women who are Doing what you Do — going to work, running errands, and partaking in some weekend fun with buddies. Now that’s inspiration you can take right to the steaming sidewalk!

SummerStStyle-rockindress

She’s ready to rock in a breezy patterned dress that is feminine and fun! Keeping it monochromatic, she lets the textures of her outfit do the talking. Show off your girly charm in a cute patterned dress and add edginess with black ankle boots!

SummerstStyle-Allie

Allie rocks this casual yet chic look with a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, basic white tee, and cropped jacket. Get a pair of jeans that hugs your curves just right!

SummerStStyle-LorraineDesanctis

Lorraine brings some edge to her cozy, all-jersey outfit with fresh accessories. A pair of mirrored sunnies make any outfit — no matter how simple — look extra-fancy.

SummerStStyle-ChambrayBuddies

Buddies Olga Kavardakova and Klara Widing complement each other in soft chambray.

SummerStStyle-TaylorBagley

Taylor Bagley’s throw-on-and-go patterned dress is in a shape and style that’s a must-have this season.

SummerStStyle-Taylor

This simple, all-black outfit gives Taylor a unique and edgy look. There is no need for lots of colors or accessories to be fashionable. Remember, sometimes less is more! Rock a simple black tank with a surprise in the back.

SummerStStyle-mellowyellow

This yellow romper is loose, lightweight and totally chic. She accents the one-piece with all black accessories.

SummerStStyle-Kym

Kym Ellery keeps things in check with a scarf-print pair of pants. Simple, black pairings let those pants really shine.

SummerStStyle-Elizabeth

Orange you glad you wore that outfit? Elizabeth looks fab in a caged-sleeve, orange top with matching flats! She styles her look with equally cool dotted distressed denim.

SummerStStyle-MichelleWilson

We’d love to look like we’re on the way to a fashion workout. Thanks for the gymspiration, Michelle Wilson.

SummerStStyle-brightblazer

Combining a patterned pant with a simple tee is a staple, but adding a vibrant blazer makes for a fun and flirty statement. Nude flats and an oversized bag complete the look. Paint the town with this turquoise jacket!

SummerStStyle-LolaOdetola

Lola Odetola is tomboy on top, girly girl below. The key is to make sure the lines of each are pared-down and on the more structured side.

SummerStStyle-Orange

If you haven’t noticed, orange is so in style! Spark up your outfits by adding a bright statement piece such as an orange bag  for a splash of color!

SummerStStyle-combatbuds

Take on the city streets in a must-have pair of combat boots! Just like Alex, Holly and Kyra, no matter what color you choose, you can take on the world in style. Strut your stuff in these boots!

SummerStStyle-leathershorts

Textured black shorts are subtle yet unique. Grab a black bag to complete your outfit!

SummerStStyle-skorted

The skort is a must have for summer! The beaded top dresses up the look, allowing her to look fierce and fabulous.

SummerStStyle-Hadar

Hadar’s different hued pieces pull her look together seamlessly! Her blue pants, white tee, coral sweater, and beige scarf give her the perfect laid-back look that is right on trend! Drawstring pants are casually chic!

SummerStStyle-classydress

At a length that is just right, this dress is perfect for transitioning from the office to a night out with your girls. Get a classy black and white knit dress!

SummerStStyle-wedges

Brown wedges go with almost any outfit!

SummerStStyle-ElenaMoussa

Elena Moussa introduces the “daytime robe.” Wear yours with a shorter-length dress and casual sneakers.

SummerStStyle-Jie

Printed maxi dresses are an easy way to wear something different and unique. With so many options with different patterns and colors, make sure you have a jean jacket that you can use to complete your outfits!

SummerStStyle-Shorts&Tank

Keeping it simple with a black tank and brown bag, she shows that faded jean shorts aren’t going anywhere. A summer favorite, she knows how to rock it with gladiator sandals and some shades to keep her looking cool and sophisticated even in the hot summer sun.

SummerStStyle-SuarezSisters

The Suarez sisters bring boho to Brooklyn. Don’t be scared of clashing patterns, as long as you’re doing them in like, neutral hues.

SummerStStyle-ThandoHadebe

Thando Hadebe shows us a great way to wear a pair of overalls …. with a printed shirt, simple sandals, and a smile.

SummerStStyle-Chevron

Sometimes it’s hard to look both sexy and cute, but this outfit accomplishes just that! The chevron halter top shows her entire back, but isn’t overly sexy paired with some black shorts, a small clutch, and casual sandals.

SummerStStyle-Dots&Denim

With an oversized denim vest and slick shades, this stylish civilian knows how to keep a collared dress casual and proves denim looks good with polka dots! Mix a dotted dress with a denim vest for a grunge yet girly look.

What’s Your Summer Style?

XOXO

diy-blurred-lines-halloween-costume-you-know-you-want.w654

If you’ want some attention the Halloween, you’ll love this costume via the Blurred Lines video. All you need is some skimpy nude colored clothing and high self-esteem, as you will be wearing pretty much nothing else.

HillaryDuff-DayoftheDead

Grab your creativity, a Halloween makeup kit and take that flower crown you haven’t touched since summer to follow Hillary Duff’s lead with a trendy homage to the Day of the Dead.

JessicaHart-Sandy

You probably have the makings of a ‘bad Sandy’ costume in your closet, just throw on a wig to cop Jessica Hart’s costume.

Girls Night Out Musthaves

GNO When prepping an outfit for a hot summer evening, look no further than these GNO essentials.  Here are party-ready pieces that are tastefully alluring, but also incredibly fashion-forward.

GNO-jumpsuitAsos: Chic Jumpsuit with Open Back ($76) If you’re less of a dress or skirts girl, you’ll appreciate this sleek jumpsuit. Just add a jeweled necklace for a visually intriguing result!

GNO-skortZara: Mini Skort ($50) in Geranium. Skorts are perfect GNO material. Why? They’re dressier than a pair of shorts, but offer more coverage than a tiny mini skirt.

Summer Party ClutchBlessing-Co: Summer Party Clutch ($28) This graphic party scene clutch is just the right size for holding your keys, lipstick, and cell phone for all those numbers you’ll collect.

GNO-jacketSass and Bide: Not the Enemy Embellished Jacket ($590) Add a jacket, like this one to your outfit for extra polish (silver chain embellishments give off a rock ‘n’ roll vibe).

GNO-coatedskinniesPaige: Hoxton Coated High-Res Skinnies ($199) in Black Coated. Skinny jeans are great, but try a coated pair for girls’ night out. They’re flashier, which is just what you need for an after-hours event.

GNO-blouseNasty Gal: Sweet Dot Crop Blouse ($32) Bring out your feminine side with this sheer polka-dot top, downplay its cutesy feel by layering it over a lacy bra.

GNO-strappydressTopshop: Strappy Hem Dress ($84) Your summer tan will pop in this halter body-con dress! Plus, wearing white is your chance to stand out in a sea of black.

Green-Crossbody-bagBlessing-Co: Mini Crossbody Bag ($20) in Mint. If you want to go hands-free (best for holding more than one cocktail 😉 ) this cute cross-body is a sure bet.

Have a fab Girls Night Out!

XOXO

Hot Red Dresses!

I am a huge fan of modifying the LBD (Little Black Dress) to fit the occasion, season, or company. For example, a Little White Dress is perfect for summer cocktails at a rooftop bar. While on vacation in the Greek Islands, a Little Blue Dress is a great option. And on Valentine’s Day, why not go full-on feminine (and sexy) with a Little Red Dress? Here are a few favorites:

ASYMMETRICAL

VDay-ASYMMETRY

Three different versions of the here-to-stay asymmetrical sleeve trend shown here. Cover up without looking conservative with the BCBGeneration Pleat Flounce Dress in Ruby Red (on sale for $51.99 at 6pm.com), or add a more plunging neckline and subtle crystal beading with the Laundry Asymmetrical Shirr Bead Dress (on sale for $40.79 at loehmanns.com). Or take the focus entirely to your stems in the maxandcleo Women’s Alanna Cocktail Dress ($66.60 at amazon.com).

VA VA VALENTINE

VDay-SEXY

Sometimes, it’s time to just go there. Short, red, and tight. Emphasize your decollatage in the Asos Sexy Pencil Dress With Cut Out Back in Red (on sale for $35.08 at us.asos.com), or show off your Justin Timberlake-approved sexy back in this Rare Skater Dress With Chain Strap Back (on sale for $27.18 at us.asos.com). You could also choose to simply show off your curves with a hip-hugging dress like this Donna Ricco Seamed Stretch Twill Sheath Dress ($98 at nordstrom).

CONSERVATIVE

VDay-CONSERVATIVE

As many guys will tell you, sometimes the sexiest girl in the room is the one leaving the most to the imagination. Test that theory in this Calvin Klein Sleeveless Ruffled Cap Sleeve Red Sheath ($89.98 at macys.com) with an adorable ruffled sleeve. Love the nautical collar on this Esme and the Laneway Dress ($74.99 at modcloth.com), and for a well-tailored sheath dress with a modest hemline, try on the French Connection Annie Jersey Dress (on sale for $58 at neimanmarcus.com).

Be a Red Hot Valentine!

XOXO
