Nautical

I have always found something completely relaxing about the nautical trend. When I see little striped shirts worn with cute sailor pants I automatically feel like I should be on vacationing on a boat in the Rivera or the Caribbean. It seems that the nautical trend is going to be huge this spring/summer since it was seen on the runway and I could not be happier since to me it is a better trend than the skull and cross bones which just reminded me of poison and not of relaxation…

A Night Out...

I really love going out with my friends or hubby and having a good time and love to dress up and look nice. I personally loved the column dresses that the celebrities where wearing during the Golden Globes.

Newport News strapless column dress for $59 in a soft jersey knit with a trumpet silhouette.

John Hardy Ayu Silver Leaf Cuff $3,595.00

I really like the carved sterling silver leaf cuff.

The round toe and the classic pump look has a retro look with a modern twist.

mini dresses

This Spring/Summer the mini dress is a big trend. I think this style is so cute and you better remember to take good care of your legs or this will just not look good on you.

Hoss
Eyelet Dress $345


This little eyelet number reminds me of something that would have been worn in the 60's.
I expecially like the square neckline.

Rebecca Taylor Rosettes Mini Dress $385.00

This dress is such a beautiful red and it incorporates both of the hotest Spring trends the mini and the floral.


Wet Seal Surplice Ruched Dress $19.50
This is a much cheaper version of the Rebecca Taylor dress and if you know how to sew you can add little roses on the bottom of this dress.

Wet Seal Side Pocket Babydoll Dress $19.50

How adorable is this dress? I really like the little pockets it totally makes the dress.

Proenza Schouler

Proenza Schouler is the new GO International for Target. I made sure that I went to Target to inspect this new line and see what it was all about. There are a few pieces that are really cute and you should check it out for yourself.

Silk Colorblock Dress - Williamsburg Navy/ Black $44.99

This dress looks so much better in person that the pictures do not give it justice. It has a lovely design around the chest area and overall has a very flattering fit. The dress is made of silk so it does have sexiness to it and it is perfect for a night on the town.

Silk Bubble Print Colorblock Camisole - Wild Dove $24.99

This top is also really cute and I really like the attention to detail on the adjustable straps which a huge thing for me since I usually would need to have to take it in.

Stripe Crop-Sleeve Cotton Jacket in Wild Dove for $44.99

The cut and the fabric of this jacket looks like it would cost more than $44. It is such a great Spring coat and would go with almost anything.


Contrast Bound Woven Top - True White $22.99


I really liked this top on the web but when I went to get it I was shocked on how thin the fabric was. If you are into wearing the whole black bra under white shirts than this is totally for you, I was sadly disappointed in this top.

Does anyone find it weird that they chop off part of the models head?

Style.com lookbooks

While reading one of my favorite blogs Blogdorf Goodman she said that she had become addicted to the style.com lookbooks. Since I was not really sure what a lookbook was I had to check it out and now I am totally addicted too! Basically a lookbook is you find your favorite looks, models, designers… and you create a on line book of your favorite shoes, dresses, models, bags and organize it however you like. All of the images can be found on Style.com and it is really easy to put together. Please feel free to

I particularly like this tweed jacket and expecially the two large buttons and collar. Rachel Bilson was seen recently wearing a jacket very similar to this.

This has the best of both a cropped jacket and a trench all rolled up into a neat little package.
