Crazy for Coral

I must be crazy for corals right now because I went to Urban Outfitters and picked up this coral Breezy-Button down shirt. And then I went to Anthropologie (of course I had to stop there) and found this adorable tee. 

Here are some other beautiful coral items for the summer.  Many of these products below are on sale so take a peek.

1. M.A.C. To the Beach Lipstick $14

2.BDG Breezy Button-Down Shirt $38

3.Hobo Rachel-Vintage Clutch Was $128 Now $78.80

4 Anthropologie Stormy Weather Creamer Was $16. Now $7.95

6.Amrita Singh Nello Earring $100

7.Patterson J.Kincaid Olvera Pocket Dress Was $128 Now $89.60

And here is the curated tee I got from Anthropologie. This dark coral top is simple and bright but the best part is the ruched sleeves. I paired it up with a brown animal print skirt from Loft, a metallic silver Michael Kors belt, Chanel sunglasses, a couple of silver bracelets, and brown patent leather platform pumps from Stuart Weitzman.  I wore this to work with a cardigan and the heels and then switched to flat sandals for dinner and a nice stroll on Newbury Street.

Sequins for all

I love  Alice + Olivia  and I noticed some amazing new arrivals on the website.  I especially love all these sequins items above from the summer and fall collection. 

Tips for wearing sequins

1. Wear one sequin item at a time and avoid mixing with other distracting patterns.

2. A sequin shirt looks amazing paired up with a pair of dark skinny jeans or leggings.  Add a pair of  heels to make a bold statement.

3. If you wear a sequin item during the day then dress it down by wearing flats and minimal jewelry. Consider layering with a boyfriend blazer or cardigan.

4. If you are unsure about wearing sequins then start off by adding some accessories such as a clutch or ballet flats.

My brother and sister in law  gave my daughter this adorable Alice + Olivia sequin dress a couple of months ago. Since, I am not sure when Ariyana is going to wear this lovely dress I had to take a few pictures of  her.  Yes, I had to bribe her with a twizzler! She wanted the Popsicle (she calls it an Ice Pop) but that would have been a disaster with this white silk dress.

Have a great weekend!

In the City

I did a post earlier in the week on dresses from Anthropologie and shared with you the first dress I bought from Anthropologie. (here) I also did a post last month of floral dresses. (here) Can you tell I am a little obsessed with florals and dresses at the moment?
Here is the second dress I bought from Anthropologie.   The Anthro In the City Dress is a silk dress featuring adjustable spaghetti straps.  It is light weight and perfect for the summer months.
 Have you added a cute floral print to your wardrobe for the summer?

And here is one of the dresses I purchased last week from Anthropologie. It is the Secret Treasure Dress in Navy. I added  a yellow woven belt I got a couple of seasons back from Anthropologie.  I wore this dress over the weekend to a family cook out and it was perfect for the warm weather. I like the dress because it conservative and dressy enough to pair up with heels and a cardigan for work.  And I love any dress with pockets!
Stay tuned this week for pictures of the second dress I bought.
