swimmy suits

so the weather is finally toasty enough to open up the pool and i'm hungry for sweet suits. here are some of my faves for every shape!

these suits are perfect for pear-shaped ladies! the chunky wedges elongate the legs and dangly earrings draw attention to a perky chest. 

ruffles maximize a boyish shape and flirty details give off an effortlessly feminine vibe.

for sexy hourglass figures, a supportive top and streamlined bottoms are necessities. top off the look with skyscraper wedges and a spicy ring. 

for voluptuous ladies, maximize your curves with a great suit. intricate detailing up top, a curve hugging bottom, and monochromatic accessories keep all eyes on you.

athletic ladies no doubt have fabulous bodies and tiny suits like these are perfect for showcasing them. pair with simple sandals and a flirty headband to keep everything in place for that active lifestyle.

enjoy and happy friday!

:)

blue jays across the usa

okay so my favorite grad, the incredible Nicki DiSalvo, is headed across the USA this summer to share the great news about Westminster College (more information at this link: http://www.bluejayroadtrip.com/) so i took the liberty of throwing together some outfits for some of my favorite places in the USA. enjoy :)

sorry this is being posted so late, but it's been a while since i've done a post for my fabulous besties. love you guys :)

the hot list - may

okay guys, so i'm having trouble adjusting to being able to do whatever i want/not being able to do anything (this crazy thing called work) and i haven't figured out my blog schedule yet, so bear with me. despite the five tornadoes that came at me from all angles tonight, i did manage to throw this list together and try to get back in the groove. here's my hot list for may:


1. braided bracelet: i love the earthy feel of the leather, but let's be honest, i've got to have some bling or i'm not going to wear it.


2. two-tone pumps: number one reason i love these: they go with twice as much stuff (and i've definitely got a lot of stuff).


3. stackable ring: i love the fact that you can sport a single sparkly band or ten brilliant bands and still land lots of looks. 


4. half shirt: this look is definitely tricky to pull off, (especially on glamazons since being tall can make the shirt look like it shrunk in the wash) but with the right jeans, it could easily replace your favorite hole-ridden boyfriend tee (hint hint)...


5. nude flats: all the versatility of nude platforms, none of the pain. 


6. knot necklace: a sexy twist on the statement necklace. (get it? twist? haha.)


7. champagne eyeshadow: what's not to love about an eyeshadow that makes your lids look saucy, instantly whips up a dewy lipgloss when layered under lip balm, and doubles as a highlighter for your cheekbones? yep. that's why it's hot.


8. vintage rock tee: it was awesome then...and hey! it's still awesome. pair it with some red lipstick and wild curls for a sexy upgrade.


9. orange lipstick: okay, this is definitely not for the faint of heart (trust me on this one, you can go horribly wrong), but if you take the time to test out a spectrum of juicy shades for a blue-based spicy mandarin, you'll get to enjoy instantly brighter pearly whites and finally meet the soulmate to your summer glow. 


10. colored earbuds: i'm loving the simplicity of these brilliant little buds. you can mix and match with your favorite tech items    and they are considerably easier to find at the bottom of that black hole of a book bag. 


what's on your hot list this month?

Borrowing from Breakfast at Tiffany's: The Anti-LBD

Don't get me wrong,

the LBD is an essential to any girl's closet. 

Holly shows us that rule in the opening scene!

But just as essential is the anti-LBD.

Some call it the LCD, the little colored dress,

but I believe that the anti-LBD doesn't 

have to be colored... a fun metallic dress, 

for example can serve the same purpose.

While the LBD is great, sometimes

occasions call for a little more pizzazz.

Look at Holly's pick for her anti-LBD:

Her dress is a fun shade of bubblegum pink

with a bow, textured fabric, and a coat to match!

Not to mention the pink bedazzled tiara I'm

sure my mother adores :)

A anti-LBD is the perfect go-to

when you know you want to look fun

and fabulous.

Beading, metallics, jewels, patterns, etc.

are all great assets to a perfect

anti-LBD.

Take a look at a few of my selections below!

Love,

Caroline

Borrowing from Breakfast at Tiffany's: The Shirt

The first time Holly meets Fred,

she has just woken up and slips

into an oversized tuxedo shirt.

 While she doesn't actually wear the shirt with

any outfit, she looks completely 

adorable running around her apartment

in the makeshift tunic!

Below are just a few different options

to rock this classic staple on your own!

Love,

Caroline

q is for quail

alright dudes, i'm so excited to get back in the blogging groove (and finish up this never-ending alphabet post). 


happy tuesday :)

Borrowing from Breakfast at Tiffany's: The Trench

It will come as no surprise to 

regular readers that one of my

absolute favorite parts of Holly Golightly's

wardrobe is her trenchcoat.

It always keeps her warm and dry

wherever she goes: be it at

the train station, down New York City alleyways, 

and on her fire escape.

A trench can be worn over any outfit

and transform it's owner to the

epitome of class!

While a camel or tan color is always 

a classic bet, a bright pop of color or

a print can be a fun way to 

put your own spin on this classic!

Love,
Caroline

Borrowing from Breakfast at Tiffany's: The Robe

One of the most often overlooked

parts of Holly Golightly's wardrobe is,

in my opinion, her robe!

When Fred comes by when 

Holly isn't quite dressed, she just puts

her sassy orange robe on

and she's set!

Having a fun robe can not only make you

feel pampered and glamourous when your

putting on your makeup,

but, if you're in college, is a necessity

for the communal bath!

These options bellow will be sure to keep you

cute and covered!

Love,

Caroline

Borrowing from Breakfast at Tiffany's: The Scarf

So the other night I was the only one awake in my house

(my sleeping hours are a bit different

from everyone else's)

and I had the sudden urge to watch

Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Now, it's not news that the movie is stylish,

it is Audrey after all,

but it is filled with more than just the LBD.

Holly Golightly, and Audrey Hepburn for that matter,

 is the epitome of transatlantic class.

Every piece she wears can be a 

springboard to transform anyone's wardrobe.

Holly's scarf, for example, is a staple

throughout the movie.

Whenever she wears it, it instantly makes

her outfit more glamourous!

Whether it's on your hat, neck, head, or bag,

you can use Holly's scarf trick on any outfit!

Below are some fun option to bring
into your own closet!

Love,

Caroline

Birds of a Feather

Hello friends!

Sorry for our unexpected hiatus,

but schoolwork kind of got the best of us 

and Katy and I decided to focus on that for most of April.

But now it is officially SUMMER!

We're done with classes, back at home (for the time being),

and ready to BLOG!

For my first post back, I want to talk about a trend

a few of my friends have been partaking in recently:

feathers!

While they're not particularly my style,

I LOVE them if you're rocking that 

free spirit, indie-bohemian,

I-go-to-concerts-of-bands-you've-never-heard-of

look.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about,

here are a few of my friends sporting their feathers!

Have you seen this trend?

Do you like it?

Would you wear it?

I'm so glad to be back!

Love,

Caroline
