Discounted Dip Dyes


Dip dye has been a very popular trend so far this spring and summer! You can find almost everything in dip dye style - jeans, tops, dresses, and more! Many designers have been referring to this dye pattern as "ombre," which I find most appropriate. 



This amazing Ladies of the Canyon Joni Empire Waist Dress by Kiki de Montparnasse is the creme de la creme of the ombre look. This 100% silk dress is available at ShopBop.com for $895 - yikes! This item is on my wishlist for sure, and I hope I can find a similar maxi dress for much, much less!

Looking for a less expensive way to get some ombre in your life? Try this cute Ombre Tunic by Splendid, on sale at ShopBop.com from $81 to $24.30. I love the strawberry color, and the cotton-silk blend will be perfect for summer. This would be a cute beach cover up on its own, and would look great with all sorts of denim.


This Whitley Kros Reef Tee is available at RevolveClothing.com. I really like this one in teal blue, on sale from $83 to $30, but it is also available in mint, coral, and peach sherbert for up to $42. 

Happy Shopping!

Your Opinion On... Acid Washed Denim


So what do you think about the return of acid washed denim? This season we have been seeing acid washed jeans, shorts, skirts - even jackets and vests in every color from original blue to black, grey, red, purple, and every color in between. Even if you can't get the premium acid washed jeans, there are plenty of DIY acid wash guides available online. 

Do you like it, or do you wish the trend had stayed in the 80's?

I am a big fan of this seasons grunge influenced denim trends including rips, shreds, and acid washed. I don't currently own a pair, but I think some acid washed denim shorts would be great for the summer. 


These cute Mineral Wash Natural Denim Shorts are only $32 at AmericanApparel.net. I might have to pick up a pair! Also available in red, purple, and blue.

Bikini Wishlist

Ah, summer! Here in Charleston, the weather is already plenty warm enough to soak up some sun on the beach, or just in your back yard. Summer also calls for vacations and travels. Whether you prefer a mountain lake or a sandy beach, its the time of year to break out your bikinis! I came to the realization this year that I don't like the triangle string bikinis as much as I used to, and am hoping to invest in a cute and functional two piece with a full coverage bottom for this summer (and many summers to come). Of course I could find a simple boy bottom bikini at Old Navy, but I want something a little more unique (and a lot more quality!). Here are some of my favorites so far, starting with the higher prices and working our way back down. 


This cute High Waist Bikini by Diane Von Furstenberg is so retro-cute! I love the color scheme and the cut is fantastic. The halter top is sexy, yet functional, and the bottoms are anything but ordinary. Not only does this bikini offer a lot of coverage, but the stripes are slimming as well. Available at NeimanMarcus.com for $295. 


This gorgeous Viva Maria! Bikini by Camilla and Marc is available at ShopBop.com for $235. I love the cute ruffles at the sides of the bikini bottom - such a cute full coverage alternative to the boy bottom. And I love the simple ruffle bandeau top with detachable shoulder straps for versatility.



Hayden-Harnett has created the perfect bikini for this spring - pin up sexy, yet forgivingly flattering. I love the cute top with buttons, and the ruffles on the sides of the high waisted boy bottoms. Plus, it is the perfect shade of mineral blue, which will look good even when your tan does not. The Leda Ruffle Bottom Bikini Top is $88, and the Bottoms are $98, available at HaydenHarnett.com. 


I just love this bikini by Juicy Couture, available at NeimanMarcus.com. The Pleated Triangle Bikini Top is $85 and the Skirted Bikini Bottoms are $98. I love the skirted bottom and the ruching throughout.  How flattering!

Now if only these bikinis would hurry up and go on sale! Happy Shopping!

ShopBop Sale du Jour


Check out the great Sale du Jour ShopBop.com is featuring this weekend! I absolutely love the See by Chloe Cropped Leather Jacket, originally $895. The Rachel Pally Pocket Cowl Dress is available in Midnight and Sea Green, and it looks totally comfortable (originally $220). Top it all off with the Jeweled Butterfly Wish Necklace by Juicy Couture (originally $48) and you are good to go!

Denim Diva Vanessa Hudgens


Vanessa Hudgens looks amazing (as always!) in her Dylan George Lucy Low Rise Skinny Jeans in Czar Wash at a Laker's game with her boyfriend, Zac Efron. Is that a ring I see? Are they engaged? I love Vanessa's laid back yet sexy style. She always looks great!

The jeans are available at Singer22.com for $219.  I wish I were gifted jeans like celebrities are!

Sale of the Day


Head to ELuxury.com and check out the great discounts on Current/Elliot jeans! The above Skinny Jeans in Trash Wash are on sale from $224 to just $135, and are available in sizes 27 and up. I really like this light wash for the summer!

Easy to be Earth Friendly


Looking for a few easy ways to make a positive impact on the environment? Start by bringing your own bags to the grocery store! Plastic bags take thousands of years to degrade, and our society uses and discards of them with a naive apathy. Why not go ahead and use a (cute) tote bag instead? The above Green is Good Tote is available at HaydenHarnett.com on sale for $20.25. Most grocers also sell their own reusable bags near the checkout aisles for around $2. I think the Earth Fare and Whole Foods bags are quite attractive as far as shopping bags go! My favorite one from Whole Foods says "I Used To Be A Plastic Bottle." I love that my shopping bags themselves might enlighten or inspire other customers. Some grocery stores, like Whole Foods, even give small discounts when you bring your own bags!

A few other simple ideas include carpooling, supporting local farmers and restaurants, running the dishwasher only when full, and opting out of gift packaging options for your online orders. Waste less and save more!

Deal of the Day


I just love this Rock and Rolled Miniskirt by LaROK! This fleece mini with a side zipper will be cute and comfortable at once. And the studs! It must be obvious by now that I am totally in love with the stud trend this season! These are very unique studs - not the standard pyramids we have been seeing everywhere. This skirt will look great with almost any of my basic tops in white, black, or grey. I look forward to wearing it with an oversized white tee, black vest, and black boots!

Available at ShopBop.com for $59.40 in Grass or $138.60 in Black (originally priced at $198).

If this had a french style top, I'd be sold! 

What does your perfect bathing suit look like this season? I am looking for something cute with a boy-bottom. Maybe a halter top or french style top, but I am not a fan of the bandeau or triangle tops. Picky, picky!
