Style Your Stems: Floral Pants

⫸⫸⫸

Style your stems in floral prints and patterns. A fun and fresh way to wear pants, these bold and colorful botanicals are truly statement-making.

With a little structure, these pieces look ultra fresh and modern. Don’t complicate things with a game of layers. Keep it simple. Try a cropped sweater or delicate tee for an effortless daytime look and silk cami and blazer for night. Add a great pair of sandals or heels and you have created the 1/2 & 1/2 (part elegance/part edge).

Summer Favorite: White Maxi Dress

♛♛♛

The versatile white maxi dress is a summer essential. Worn day or night, these dresses are light, breezy and comfy.

For daytime, play with some detailed sandals and fun accessories. Gold looks great with white – try-on a ton of gold bangles or bracelets. For nighttime, switch it up with some wedges and a statement accessory. A bold necklace or vibrant earrings will shine against the all-white canvas.

To avoid looking matrimonial, accessorize wisely. Add some color or texture with a belt or scarf. Try to steer clear from head-to-toe white.

Weekend Ensemble: Ella Moss

✯✯✯

In the winter, layering is key. Be on the lookout for a great vest. Currently, there are so many different styles and textures to choose from; faux fur, leather, suede, long, cropped, draped, asymmetrical. Think of your body type when choosing a vest, cropped and belted vests can overwhelm the frame. Lengthen your silhouette with a longer style or darker color.

This weekend, experiment with layers and add a vest. Weather it be menswear-inspired or 70’s-inspired furs, it will be a great in-vest-ment.

Have a great weekend!

Weekend Ensemble: ella moss

This weekend relax in a maxi skirt and racerback, or dress it up by adding some chunky heels and jewels. 

The maxi skirt trend this season is one of my favorites, due to its comfort and ease. This ella moss black maxi is a great casual-chic basic that can be worn running errands, to the beach or out on the town. 

Maxi skirts will be a staple in every closet this season. They come in an assortment of colors and patterns, styles and fabric. The polished and fluent look of these skirts are feminine and graceful. The maxi skirt is a trend that will continue to flourish in seasons to come.

Have a great weekend!
