5. Solid Mesh Hinge Bracelet sold @ The Limited
6. Studded Strappy Sandal sold @ Zara

This outfit is a combination of some of my favorite items and current trends - striped skirts and studded sandals. I styled this look to be a little more casual with a denim jacket, but it could easily be dressed up with a black blazer, leather jacket, or cardigan.

Inspiration: Purple & Red

1. Sally Pump sold @ Nine West
2. Halogen V-Neck Cashmere Sweater sold @ Nordstrom
3. The 7th Avenue Bootcut City Double Stretch Pant sold @ New York & Company
4. Steve Madden Stud Love - Small Clutch sold @ Nordstrom

Red and Purple - two colors I would probably not think to pair together - but a color combo that I really like. This look was inspired by an image I saw on Independent Fashion Bloggers.

Deals:
New York & Company: Buy one, get one 50% off, 30% off online (Code: 3918)
The Limited: 50% off tops and sweaters tonight after 5PM (Code: Frenzy)

Find: Foldover Clutch

1. Straw-Weave Tab Clutch sold @ The Limited ($28)
2. Textured Fold-Over Clutch sold @ The Limited ($24)
3. Textured Fold-Over Clutch sold @ The Limited ($24)

I love sales. When I get an email blast about a sale, I almost always check it out. So, when I got a message from The Limited about their mix and match sale (buy one, get one free - jacket, pant, skirt) and this floral jacquard sheath dress caught my attention - on sale for $60 - I thought I would check out the deals. While on the site, I noticed that they are having 40% off handbags, and I saw that these foldover clutches were on sale for a great price ($24-28). The foldover clutch in the chevron print reminds me of the Tom Ford dress that Jennifer Aniston wore for the premiere of Wanderlust. Besides these foldover clutches, there are other great handbags - such as a black/white polka dot clutch, snake print bucket bag, colorblock wristlet, and many more.

What a Stud

Valentino Rockstud Pump sold @ Nordstrom
Ivanka Trump Ayla Studded Platform Pumps sold @ Macy's (10% off - Code: WKND)
Valentino Small Leather Shopper Tote sold @ Nordstrom
Poppie Jones Studded Tote sold @ DSW

With its edgy rocker vibe, yet, elegant sophistication, this studded Valentino collection caught my attention. If you are like me, though, and love the collection but are looking for some more budget-friendly options, here are some options. If you would like to see a similar Valentino shoe in real life, though, this girl rocks these pumps at NYFW.

Hope you have a great weekend!

Leather, Floral, Destroyed

1. Tinley Road Colored Vegan Leather Tee sold @ Piperlime
2. Chain Flap Crossbody Bag sold @ Nordstrom
3. Rebecca Minkoff Studded Pavé Leather Bracelet sold @ Piperlime
4. Betsey Johnson Snake Hinged Bangle sold @ Piperlime
5. Nine West Ambitious Pump sold @ Zappos
6. Boyfriend Jeans in Vintage Blue sold @ Loft

Destroyed (distressed) denim, floral print, and leather are all hot trends right now, so I thought I would group them together for a look. I think the floral print does a nice job of offsetting the distressed look of the denim, and leather gives it a rocker, fun look! What do you think? Any of these trends on your wish list for spring/summer?

Some other options...
Faux Leather Tops

Faux Leather Tank sold @ Nordstrom
Tinley Road Colored Vegan Leather Tee sold @ Piperlime
Tinley Road Vegan Leather Muscle Tank sold @ Piperlime

Floral Pumps

Neodans Pump sold @ Nordstrom
Olive Slingback sold @ LOFT
Nine West Ambitious Pump sold @ Zappos

Destroyed Denim

Rich & Skinny Boyfriend Jeans sold @ Piperlime

Finds: Pink, Black & White

1. Rolled Sleeve Neon Top Tunic Sweater sold @ Express
2. Bold Stripe Scarf sold @ LOFT
3. Belted Mixed Stripe Tank Maxi Dress sold @ LOFT

5. INC International Concepts Striped Peplum Jacket sold @ Macy's
6. Ivanka Trump Mildread Pump sold @ Nordstrom
7. Tinley Road Rhinestone Paisley Earring sold @ Piperlime
8. Milly Sydney Multi Clutch sold @ Nordstrom

The black and white trend is all over the blog world (I even did a post on it recently), but today I thought I would add a twist by throwing pink in to the mix. The color combo of pink, black, and white, especially in stripes seems to be another big trend this spring.

It's Friday! Hope you have a great weekend! Any great plans?

That's a Handbag

Now, that's a handbag. What do you think - could this bag fit all your stuff? Would you agree that as women, we like to pack our handbags with as much as possible. (source)

If you are up for trying something new and want to catch the wave of what is trending right now (as seen by a lot of runway street style), you might want to try the envelop clutch.

I am not sure about the envelope clutch. I like straps on my bags - to make them easier to hold and not loose; however, for special occasions, this just might work.

So, if you are looking to try the trend, here are some options...

1. Nila Anthony Colorblock Clutch sold @ Nordstrom
2. BCBGMAXAZRIA Harlow Clutch Bag sold @ Zappos
3. Danielle Nicole Sienna Envelope Clutch sold @ Nordstrom
4. Danielle Nicole Mia Clutch sold @ Piperlime
5. BCBGMAXAZRIA Harlow Envelope Clutch sold @ Dillard's
6. BCBGeneration Rayna Envelope Clutch sold @ Zappos

Piperlime & Spring Sandals

1. Hive & Honey Multi Chain and Beaded Necklace sold @ Piperlime ($34)
2. Pim + Larkin Cabachon Bauble Bracelet sold @ Piperlime ($34)
3. Melie Bianco Alyssa Handbag sold @ Piperlime ($99)
4. Jessica Simpson Jessie Sandal sold @ Piperlime ($89)
5. Tinley Road Long Sleeve Ponte Body Con Dress sold @ Piperlime ($69)

This yellow/green color has been a big trend recently, and when I saw this dress and these fun spring sandals, I thought I would style an outfit around them. It ended up that I found all the items at Piperlime. I love this store - it offers free shipping both ways, which means I can try things out without the expense of shipping. I also love Piperlime's selection - they have budget-friendly to investment price ranges. Today's look all happens to be styled with pieces that are under $100. Enjoy! Happy Wednesday!

Friday Finds: Black & White

1. Popover Matte Jersey Shirtdress sold @ The Limited (40% off - Code: PRES40)
2. Cutout Hammered Squares Necklace sold @ The Limited (40% off - Code: PRES40)
3. Sequin Hinged Bangle sold @ Nordstrom
4. Nordstrom Bead Stretch Bracelets sold @ Nordstrom
5. Elliott Lucca Cordoba Clutch sold @ Nordstrom
6. DV by Dolce Vita Archer Sandal sold @ Nordstrom
7. Animal Trio Stripe Halter Maxi Dress sold @ Ann Taylor (30% off - Code: SHOPCHIC)

Today's finds are black and white - a big color combo trend seen in the store and on the runway. I also picked these because of a sale or free shipping. It's President's Weekend and the stores are rolling out the deals. The Limited has 40% off original ticket prices (Code: PRES40), Ann Taylor has 30% off select full price styles, including the dress featured in this post (Code: SHOPCHIC), and Nordstrom always offers free shipping both ways - a big perk!

Hope you have a great weekend!

2. Tasha Link Bracelet sold @ Nordstrom
3. Georgie Perforated Faux Leather Moto Jacket sold @ Intermix
4. COACH Legacy Courtenay Leather Hobo sold @ Nordstrom
5. Tinley Road Faceted Cabachon Ring sold @ Piperlime
6. J.Renee Frenzy Pump sold @ Amazon

Do you agree that we tend to gravitate to what we like? I starting pulling together today's look based around this colorblock dress and realized that I assembled a similar look in coral, black, and snake print just last week (but a little more casual)… Guess I must like this color combo… Hope you have a great Wednesday! Tomorrow is "heart" day - any special plans?

I agree with one of my favorite bloggers that it is time for some sunshine, so we can wear sundresses and flip flops. Hopefully this little guy is correct and spring is around the corner. So, in anticipation, here is a fun outfit of yellows, greens, and blues.

Have a great Wednesday! And, one last thing, I linked up with StyleElixir for Style Sessions, so be sure to check out this stylish gal's site and what other fashionable ladies are wearing.
