Travel Essentials!

With spring and summer vacations upon us and while doing my own packing the idea of “the must haves” got me thinking. Of course we want to look fab no matter what part of the world we travel to. Here are some of the essentials I thought I could not go without this season while traveling.

-          Maxi Dress & Maxi skirt – Both hot this season and great on ALL body types

    -    Bathing Suits – My favorite spot for this is Target

         - Cover-ups – My favorite one this season was purchased from J. Crew (pictured)

- Fedora

               - Fun Jewelry

          - Romper – They are all over. I love the fit and they are super comfortable

- Wedges

                     - Summer dresses - remember FLORAL PRINTS are hot this season!

- A light sweater for breezy nights

                                                                                                                                               Bon Voyage!

                                                                     

Spring Nail Polish!

I am a huge fan of fall nail colors and have the hardest time transitioning away from it come Spring. Last week at the nail salon the owner was actually quite impressed with my choice of nail color. Being a regular there she knows how much I love my dark fall and winter colors and how difficult it was for me to let go of the dark and come into light! I did have to do some research to see what catches my eye and best suites me. Some may not consider my picks the best for Spring or Summer but for a girl who loves her OPI –Siberian Nights, MAC-Nightfall, and of course Chanel – Black Satin...these picks will have to carry me through during the Spring. And yes ladies Nail Polish is a GREAT accessory!

-   OPI – Oh…To be @5 Again 

     OPI – Dusk over Cario

     Chanel – Lilac Sky

Denim Shorts…Make a huge comeback!

I’m sure you’ve seen denim shorts in every fashion magazine this season. They are huge this spring and summer season. Even celebrity stylists like Rachel Zoe are on board. Not just any denim short though! The hot and trendy denim shorts are the “distressed pair”. If you are like me you probably threw out any pair that you owned in the past…not to worry…you can get a pair at no cost. My money saving tip is to go through all your jeans and find a pair you can bare to depart with as “jeans” take it to your tailor and turn them into cute distressed shorts...this is what I did. I did take a picture with me to let her know exactly how I wanted it to look.

How to wear it: Of course anyone can throw on a t-shirt or tank with the denim shorts and call it a day BUT come on ladies have some fun with these shorts….STYLE IT UP! Bring out the Fashionista in you! Pictured is just one way I like to wear the shorts. I wear it with sequence top and the pictured heels. I do love it when I get a chance to wear my military jacket (another trendy piece for Spring) with the outfit. Also if weather permits…you can pair it with a cute top, a fitted blazer, and heels or espadrilles.

Seen On: Vanessa Hudgens, Megan Fox, Nicole Richie, Giselle Bundchen

Where to get it: Your own closet (go here 1^st), True Religion, J. Crew, Urban Outfitters, Nordstrom…it’s all over
