For the Summer... Go Wild!

For my third look teaming up with the brand Fashion Spy, I went with this great printed frock!

My heart is always in the fall and winter when it comes to fashion looks (I love layers!) so my trick to get through summer is to "visually" layer! When you choose a dress that has such a graphic print, you draw the eye in and add visual depth so there is no need for a cardigan or jacket (and who want that on a scorching 90 degree day?!) This dress fit the bill perfectly and the sweet little key hole in the back is just a bonus!!

Black and White... With Touches of Green!

So in my new endeavor to start bringing you little things here and there, I found this great blouse to go in my new little shop! I love that it is sheer so it is great for the summer with the sleeves rolled up like I have it styled, but I also love the idea of carrying it into fall and winter with maybe a great vest over it! (note to self- remember to do a post with a vest when it starts to cool off!)
It is on trend with the black and white graphic print and then I love the added pop of neon green along the top back and down the side panels! I paired it with my mint green skinnies to do a fun green color combo!

The highs and lows... in floral!

 

Still pairing up with design house Fashion Spy, I got to play with this great high-low floral frock! The dress comes with a mustard-colored tie belt, but I decided to put my new J.Crew belt with it. I also went with my trusty go-to studded clutch and gladiator wedges to roughen up the sweetness of the floral dress a bit!

Go zero to sixty's... in 3.5!

Ok so follow me for a second... You know the part of the movie in Grease where all the girls go to cheer on the guys when they drag race? Well say that happened in the 60's and I had a guy that was about to go dragging- I would wear this!! Haha- ok I went a little over board with my back story, but you get my point! It just makes me happy to look at- and I felt even happier in it (and really flirty and dare I say... A bit sexy!)

I don't think I have shared with you that I get the awesome privilege to help my fashion designer friend sell her designs (Fashion Spy) to boutiques all throughout the south when the Atlanta market comes to town! So this past market when I first walked into our booth and saw the new collection for the first time- this mod little frock stole my heart! Is it not the sweetest thing ever?!

So I knew I had to do a post on it! I love the on-trend black and white checkered pattern and then the added touch of the peter-pan collar to soften the feel of the dress.

 I am so excited to say that I will be teaming up with Fashion Spy to bring you some looks she has been working on for this Summer season! Get ready to get outfit inspired!
