If you’ve grown a bit sea sick from all the nautical-inspired clothes you’ve been sporting this summer, why not return to dry land and go more utilitarian with the military-inspired pieces dominating stores?  These pieces have a harder look, with cargo pockets, neutral colors and grommet detailing.  Though many of these pieces are quite masculine, the neutral coloring means they can easily be softened with feminine pieces such as floral dresses.  Think combat boots with tights, a floral mini dress and cardigan.  So cute!

The best thing about this style? While military inspired pieces have been pretty trendy for a few seasons now, the utilitarian coats are a classic investment piece that can stay in your wardrobe for years to come. And they’ll come in handy if, you know, you ever need to go on an incognito stalking mission. What, just me? Read More »

This spring, cargo styles seem to have made it out of our 6th grade wardrobes and back into stores and into style. The upside (aside from the genius extra pockets for flask storage, that is!) is that this time around, they are a whole lot cuter then their ’90s siblings. Or maybe it’s just that we are a lot cuter than our former ’90s selves. Either way, I’m a fan.

The best part about this look is that you can make it appropriate for day or night. Yes, cargos are not just functional for recess/military operations anymore, ladies and gents! Cargo styles paired with a form fitting top give you a laid back yet sophisticated/sexy look

Here are two examples I love of a cargo pant and a cargo inspired short for both day and night. Read More »

[I want it, I need it, I can’t live without it. There are so many things on store shelves and racks right now that we want to take home and hang in our closets. Things that are so cute, everyone should know about them. We’ll share ‘em with you here (because we’re that nice), but as far as actually getting them goes….well, you’re on your own with that one.]

If you watched Gossip Girl last week, you probably noticed Vanessa Abrams clad in a very cute outfit consisting of a black military styled coat, grey acid wash skinny jeans, and almond colored Minnetonka Moccasin fringed boots. If you didn’t, you can check out the look here. Gossip Girl fan or not, fringed boots are a hot trend for spring.

Whether you like them short, up to your calf, or knee-length, Minnetonka Moccasin has a boot for you. They’re way cuter than Uggs, and easily just as comfortable (believe me, I own a pair of the shoes!). All of their adorable fringed boots come in at under $100, so if you order a pair you’ll still have some money to invest in the perfect pair of skinnies to tuck into them. Read More »
