Funny story: I was visiting some friends in LA over the weekend and my girlfriend whom was just returning from the restroom comes over by me and says to me in a low voice in my ear as she was returning to her seat "I don't know if you care but Nicole Ritchie is in the bathroom". Without missing a beat I said "Yes I do care, I love her jewelry and I am going to check it out". You got it I stalked her to check out her jewelry! She had great pieces on very bohemian and tribal inspired. Loved.. :) I complimented her on her jewelry as her and her girlfriends talked about some bracelets they had made custom from a jewelry designer for about $1,000 a piece. I guess with the price of silver that's not too bad..
Floral prints~ Yes literally.. "Every thing's coming up Roses" From dresses to skirts and tops a like; florals are everywhere. Especially in the way of short and flirty skirts that move. Lilly white skirt $32.00 nordstrom. Lucky brand embroidered flower skirt 52.90 Lucky. I have seen a variety of skirts and floral dresses from H&M 12.99-29.99. as well as higher price points. You can invest as much or as little as your willing in this trend.

| lilly white skirt Flower Hair Accessories~ Right in line with the bohemian 70'S influence and the royal wedding. Adding a flower in your hair this summer is fun simple and inexpensive. I found one for $3.95 at a cute new store in Del Mar called Urban Girl. You can also find them online at Etsy anywhere from $6.00 to $20.00    These are just a few summer pieces to keep your looks updated for not a whole lot of cash. And don't worry ladies if you don't feel quite a hundred percent wearing white pants.. Your not alone. I get women asking me all the time about how and if they should wear them. The answer is yes!!! You just have to find the brand and style that fits you right. The great news about white pants you don't have to invest in them every season.. In fact to change the look of an older pair of white denim that I've had for a few seasons I had them taken in slightly in the legs and cropped. It created a skinnier capri. This updated look allowed me to not have to go through the daunting task of finding "a"white that fits right. Stay tuned next week for more style tips and tricks. Guys I'll have some tips for you too! If you need any personal styling tips or wardrobe consulting feel free to contact me: cyndiolin@yahoo.com As always Ciao for now and Happy Shopping!! |
