Cool in Corduroy
splenetically Growing up, corduroy has always reminded me of the ’70s, old furniture, and blazers with elbow patches. But thanks to new fabrics, spandex, and stores like Forever 21, corduroy can be fun, comfortable, and stylish once again. And just because it’s spring doesn’t mean you need to wear pink, yellow, or light blue pants. Red or orange skinny pants work all year round and look just as good in the fall as they do in the summer.

Rockin the Blues
The tough rocker chick look may come and go, but to me, it’s always been one of my favorites. I love pieces that have a slight edge – whether it be this drapey silk tank with “chain mail” rings or this motorcycle jacket with zipper details. When pairing things like a rocker top or motorcycle jacket, I like to always be sure to add some feminine details. For example, the flowy cut of this skirt or the high heels adds…

Pairing it with just a plain old t-shirt and a very loud neon pink bag makes it perfect to wear in the summer…

Denim and Tights: Bringing Back the ’90s!
Happy June! Coincidentally, my sister’s name is also June. I remember admiring my sister back in the ’90s when all her and her high school friends wore denim shorts with black tights underneath. They looked so cool. Unfortunately by the time I got to high school, it was an entirely different era. But like most trends, they can come back at any time! I loved these lace tights I found at Banana Republic Republic and although they are a bit…

Shifting to Corals
Memorial Day can definitely brings about some awesome sales. However, shopping during sales can also be incredibly dangerous. I would never think to buy this Robert Rodriguez coral shift dress, but I loved the color, the gold trim, the ’60s shift style, and of course the sale price. Definitely more than I would normally pay for a dress, but the fabric, quality, and design were totally worth it.
