I’m really into blush and nude/light tan purses right now….so here is my round up of the best ones just in time for spring!

photo1-15

Marc Jacobs – Too Hot To Handle Bentley Leather Tote

Color: Cement

Price: $498

I shouldn’t love this bag, but I do! The color is that perfect mix of blush/nude, and it’s just all around a great tote. It’s big enough to hold anything you might need, and has the attachment for a side-banger strap, which I love. Life is better with side bangers.

Kate Spade – Holden Street Olivera

Color: Pebble

Price: $378

This is the perfect purse to get for business purposes. I have always wanted a light colored briefcase-esque bag that looks professional but can also be an everyday purse. I think this does the trick. I love this bag in the nude pebble color, however you could always get it in black or red if that is more your style.

Forever 21 – Unstructured Faux Leather Tote

Color: Taupe

Price: $24.90

This is a much more wallet-friendly option. If you like the idea of the light tan/blush purses, however don’t want to invest $300+ …this is the purse for you! It is always a good idea to check out places like Forever 21 or Aldo for cheaper purses. They always have ones that look relatively similar to the higher end brands, but for very affordable options.

Tory Burch – Marion Slouchy Tote

Color: Light Oak

Price: $595

This bag is a gorgeous blush color. It is definitely a spring bag. I love all things Tory Burch, so this had to be added to the list! You can never go wrong with a little TB. This bag is at the slightly higher end of the price range, however it is well worth the investment.

I’ve recently been looking online for a new dress to wear to a wedding in Florida. What better place to start than Lilly Pulitzer? Their dresses are always fun and summery, perfect for beach weddings. I stumbled across this wrap/cape scenario and I think it is a must have! Throw it on with jeans or white jeans and you immediately look classy and put together. AND it looks super comfy. Win-Win. So what do you think?? Is this not the cutest wrap ever!!

Time For A Mini Hipster Shoe Sesh!

I recently bought some Vans. It was a weird day in my life. I have always been a prepster who was strictly opposed to Vans. They were so hipster..so skater..so not me. But as I have been living in the mountains, I have become more intrigued by them. Everyone up here seems to wear them, so they must be comfy right? I vowed never to try them out…until one day I stumbled upon these bad boys: Vans Chevron Slip Ons. Obviously..I had to have them. I mean they were chevron print!! If there was ever going to be a time that I gave in to this hipster-skater trend, this was the time. So I bought them. And they are very comfy (for the 5 minutes I tried them on). I haven’t actually worn them yet, but once fall gets here, I am going to incorporate them into my wardrobe (but only when I’m feeling a hipster vibe).

Here are some other “Vans”-esque shoes I found…supposedly they are in right now. Designers like Givinchy have even made some! Who would have thought…

So browse the links below and see what you think! (Vans seems to be the only company that has done the chevron print, but leopard is ALL over the place!)

Are you into this trend?? What is your favorite slip on shoe??

Mani Monday: Essie Sand Tropez

One of my favorite nude nail polishes is Essie: Sand Tropez. Everyone should have this in their nail polish collection. It’s a great color for any season. I especially love it for special occasions where you don’t want a crazy nail color, or for the upcoming fall season. Wear it with a black turtleneck sweater and crisp jeans and some serious gold jewelry. It’s understated yet always in fashion. When in doubt…go nude.

I am SO excited for fall. Totally over this summer weather. The other day it was 35 degrees up here in the mountains, so fall is definitely on it’s way! In honor of the upcoming season change….here is my current obsession:

Emerson Ankle Boots from Free People

Not Your Daughter’s Jeans (NYDJ) are unreal. I had heard of the brand for a while, but thought – as the name states – that they were more for moms. And then I was at Nordstrom Rack…and boom! There were a lot of the Not Your Daughter’s Jeans on the racks. I had just recently heard from my mom that my aunt raved about her NYDJ and said my mom HAD to try them. So I thought, why not. I’ll give them a try. I needed a new pair of jeans. I tried them on, and was so shocked. I have gained about 20 pounds in the last few months, and jeans/pants were just in general not looking good. But the NYDJ jeans looked great on me! Theyslimmed my stomach, and got rid of my love handles! They come up higher than normal jeans(around my belly button) but it’s perfect because then you don’t have the love handles popping out. They also have a hint of stretch, which makes them comfy and slightly more forgiving. I was shocked and very happy. It sounds corny, but my new NYDJ really helped my self confidence. I’ve slowly been working on loosing the weight I gained, but I am happy to know that I have a pair of jeans I feel comfortable wearing until that happens.

Not Your Daughter’s Jeans are sold at many major department stores. If they are too pricy for you, check out Nordstrom Rack. I got mine at a very good price!

So what do you think? Are you a fan of Not Your Daughter’s Jeans?! Let me know!

Lately, I’ve been super obsessed with gold rings. I’ve been seeing this “midi ring” trend, but had not gotten to a store to try it out for myself. Well, I finally ended up on a shopping spree this past weekend – and found the best midi rings! I decided  I HAD to buy some. After all, I had been admiring them on Instagram for a while. So here it is…my new favorite trend! #midirings ..What do you think??

IMG_1935

So as you can see, I actually wore some of the midi rings as actual rings. The ring on my pinky is a midi ring, but fit my pinky as a real ring as well. The one on my ring finger also fits on the middle and pointer finger, and sits higher on those. The ring on my middle finger is a Kendall&Kylie for Nordstrom ring that my sister gave me last year. It has a chain that connects the bottom to the top. It’s pretty cool in a hipster way. Basically, midi rings are the perfect solution if you want to wear a lot of rings because the sizing can fit on any finger, it just depends what look you want!

The three midi rings in the picture were all purchased at Nordstrom – they range from $6 to $8, and were sitting in decorative bowls on the checkout stations.

What do you think about this ring trend?? xoxo

I have been eyeing this clutch for a while, and I need someone to convince me to buy it. It’s gorgeous and would go with everything. I can just picture it with a crisp white button down, skinny jeans, and some fabulous riding boots or heels. It’s definitely more of a fall bag, but I think I could make it work in the summer. And, a leopard clutch ALWAYS goes with a little black dress. So that’s an option. I’m just so obsessed with this clutch, I think I am going to have to buy it. It’s by Clare Vivier, and costs $210. This is roughly the cost of a smaller Kate Spade or Marc Jacobs bag. I think it’s on par in my book with those designers just based on the cuteness factor. I think I’m sold!

What do you think? Would you buy this bag??

Summer = Sandal Time!!

/ Powder Babes / Leave a comment

Here is my fashion pick for the day: Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s Madden Girl Karizma Sandal!

_8807691

 

I mean how cute are these?! They just remind me of the perfect sandals to wear with like a white shirt/tank top and jean cutoff shorts. Kind of a casual cool hipster vibe. These are definitely sandals that my sister could pull off. She looks like Kendall Jenner.  It’s a little obnoxious because I look nothing like Kendall Jenner haha but I have come to terms with it 🙂 I just love that the Jenner girls are making their mark on fashion. I think their jewelry/clothing/shoe lines are WAY cooler than their older sisters (the Kardashians) line at Sears. Their lines are just more hip and cool, in that not trying hard way. And they have teamed up with Pac Sun, Nordstrom, and Steve Madden. That alone tells you how legit they are. I’m definitely a fan!

If you like these sandals as much as I do, check them out here: Kendall and Kylie – Karizma Sandal

It’s the perfect time to buy, because Nordstrom has recently just put them on sale! They are only $46.77! What a steal!

What sandals are you eyeing for summer??
