Striped

When I think of striped items I generally gravitate towards navy and white. It's classic, nautical and preppy, three things I love in home style and fashion. However I got inspired by yesterday's post where Sienna Miller wore a stripe on stripe look that was all black and white. While that particular look was a bit too bold for my personal taste it did get me thinking about black and white stripes and how they translate so well from treats for your home to items for your closet. In the past I would shy away from this combo due to fears of looking like Beetlejuice or even worse The Hamburglar but after some research I noticed there are some seriously chic black and white striped combo's out there. A little round up of some of my favorites are below.

Shopbop Spring Shopping Event

I don't know about you but my wardrobe is in desperate need of some refreshing and when there is a good sale like this one it's hard to resist the urge to not buy a few new things despite the weather still being frigid here in Boston. A few items in my shopping bag are below but I will likely narrow it down to a single item so I don't have to eat ramen for the rest of the month.

What items are you craving in anticipation for the warmer weather???

Dying over Elizabeth & James embellished sweatshirt jacket, I would live in this all spring. The perfect neutral color adorned with gold studs that would go with everything in the closet. A dressed up Juicy Couture tee in navy lace will pair perfectly under blazers or stand alone with jeans. I have long been coveting these over-sized Ray-Ban Wayfarers, I might have to finally purchase. Layering necklaces is easy breezy thanks to this Alexis Bittar beauty. A comfortable Kors Michael Kors wedge that will make your legs look longer and be comfortable for walking around - yes please! Mixing stripes and patterns in one easy look with this Nanette Lepore stunner. Can easily be dressed up with a blazer and sandals or down with flip flops.

old school is new school

Everything in fashion always goes full circle, what once was in will find it's way back to the limelight again (lets hope this isn't the case with Z Cavaricci's). Bathing suits are not exempt from this fashion cycle and I am very happy because of it. I can't help notice the trendss for this season are all giving a nod to the 50's & 60's styles and are a little more conservative then what has usually been displayed in the bathing suit market. Could it be the Brazilian bottoms and the no support string bikini tops are officially passe??? Doubtful because woman want to be feel sexy and generally that means showing more then they should (not moi of course, I loathe wearing bathing suits) especially at the beach. The looks below are all images from the past of incredible swimsuit styles that I believe flaunt a sex appeal and an elegant element that is gone from today's fashions. These woman didn't have to show all their goodies for attention nor did they have to be a size zero to look fantastic. I welcome the new styles but don't think it's for every body type (sorry Ke$ha). I have yet to try on a bathing suit since my honeymoon and cringe at the thought of my reflection in a neon lit dressing room and my pale skin under a spot light but let's face it - we will all have to find a bathing suit before summer. Maybe I will schedule a spray tan and a hair appointment for a blow out before I go swimsuit shopping, doesn't a tan always help make your hate your body less???

OLD SCHOOL

Marilyn Monroe is always amazingly stunning in everything she wore - a white bathing suit is a challenge in itself and she makes it look effortlessly chic
