Current Obsession

Perfect shirt in linen // keeper chambray shirt // Three-quarter sleeve stretch perfect shirt // Jacquard Dot Popover // Perfect shirt in stripe linen // Altuzarra for J.Crew Odette blouse Last week I picked up the perfect tunic button down from J.Crew similar to this one. I’m absolutely in love with the fit and the style and color are so classic. I’m sure many of you share this obsession, but I can’t help but love every single shirt in J.Crew right now. I think it’s become more noticeable because I’ve finally embraced them … I mean don’t you want one in every style, print, and color? And so much versatility too- they can be worn with shorts, skinnies, colored denim, boyfriend jeans, skirts, under sweaters, or doubled up. Definitely become a big fan. Anyone else loving this look?

1 Piece 3 Ways

 7 For All Mankind denim // J.Crew Contrast baseball tee // J.Crew Venus Flytrap crystal necklace // Tory Burch Robinson envelope clutch // Zara Basic sandal // Current/Elliott boyfriend jean // Polka dot flower pin // Tory Burch Eddie ballet flats // k.slademade Pony Tote // Citizens of Humanity Chloe high-rise shorts // Michael Kors leather strap watch // Soludos classic espadrilles // Loren Hope Lindsay Bracelet via Design Darling Ever since I started doing outfit posts I started shopping smarter. Rather than seeing, loving, and buying, I think about different ways I can style the piece with what’s already in my closet. Since I do this in my real life and think it’s a great way to shop (this may be a no brainer and something you already do), I thought I’d bring it to the blog… with hopes that my styling ideas can inspire an outfit or two for you =) This week’s piece, the J.Crew contrast baseball tee. Who knew a baseball tee could be so versatile? I think it’s passed the test… a must buy in my book!

Guest Post: Miranda from One Stylish Day at a Time

Hi everyone! Miranda here from One Stylish Day at a Time. I’m guest posting for Crystalin while she sips margaritas on the beach in Costa Rica… ugh, lucky girl. It’s okay to be jealous, I’m jealous of her too. In the meantime, let’s talk about some spring/summer trends that are coming our way over the next few months. While there are many trends, there are five that have me more excited than the rest. {Elizabeth and James Sunnies/Cambridge Satchel/Old Navy Blouse/Sam Edelman Sandals/All Saints Skirt (Similar)} Which trends are you most looking forward to? Do you like the more sophisticated spring looks or are you more free-spirited when dressing for warm weather? Thanks for having me Crystalin! Have a safe flight home and make sure and have a margarita or pina colida for me

Guest Post: Devon from Devon Rachel

When the lovely Crystalin asked me (Devon from the style blog Devon Rachel) to share my favorite Spring trend, I immediately thought of prints. On any given day you could see me in a completely random mix of prints. From stripes to florals, I cannot get enough! This season it’s all about having fun with those prints and pairing them in unexpected ways. Pastels and brights are your go-to schemes. I dare you to mix and match— I think you’ll be quite pleased with the outcome.

Guest Post: Tina from East.Loves.West

1. / 2. / 3. / 4. / 5. / 6. / 7. / 8. / 9. / 10. / 11. / 12. / 13. . As you all know, Crystalin is off getting a tan in Costa Rica, and she was sweet enough to ask me (Tina from east.love.west) to do a guest post! Since I know we are all ready for spring, I thought I’d put together a few things on my wish-list for the upcoming season! I feel like white jeans and a chambray shirt dress are great light-weight staples for spring. And I love using tangerine, yellow and sea-foam as accent colors. Leather sandals, and a pair of platform wedges are also on my list, as well as a practical tote bag (loving #9 from Old Navy!). Enjoy! Thanks again to Crystalin for letting me take over for the day, and don’t forget to come visit me at east.love.west!
