Fall is a great time to invest in a tweed jacket because you can wear it all the way through spring. A tweed jacket always looks chic and can be worn practically anywhere.Tweed is a rich elegant material that dresses up any outfit. You can create many looks with just one tweed jacket. Try matching the jacket with pants, leggings, skirts, sleeveless tops, blouses, turtlenecks, over shift dresses – the possibilities are endless!

Glam up your favorite pair of jeans with the same tweed jacket you wear to the office. Add a nude peep toe heel and some statement jewelry and you are set to go out! Shopping for the perfect tweed jacket should be fun and easy since most stores/designers offer a variety of styles.

Bright & Fun for Summer

Stay cool these last few weeks of summer with a bright colored flowy skirt. A flowy skirt is a good option to shorts and can be worn for many occasions. Accessorize with chunky bangles and your favorite pair of sunglasses. I think stacking your bangle bracelets looks cute and chic when wearing a tank or sleeveless shirt. On hot days try to keep your make-up light and natural looking. You can set your make-up and refresh your skin with a light mist spray. This keeps your skin hydrated and prevents your make-up from caking.

Spring Business Attire

Spring is a great time to brighten up your entire wardrobe; even your work attire. A basic white blouse and pencil skirt always looks professional. Instead of a white button down shirt, try a feminine blouse decorated with a ruffle or bow. A more feminine blouse will look very attractive; plus you won’t have to worry about the buttons on a button down shirt pulling across your chest.

For a powerful look, add a bright colored fitted blazer over your outfit. Hot pink blazers are hot this season. Accessorize with high heel pumps and pearl jewelry for a classic elegant look.

Fashion tip – Remember to change your purse for spring. Your heavy everyday winter purse should be stored away until next year. You’ll feel invigorated just by using a new purse.

Saluti da Sorrento

Saluti da Sorrento by alegna15.polyvore.com

 This bright yellow sundress is perfect to wear along the Amalfi Coast– whether you are sipping a Limoncello in a Sorrento café overlooking the Bay of Naples or shopping through the streets of Capri. Typically, I advise to stay away from outfits that are too trendy. The cutout feature in this dress is trendy, but the retro feel of the dress keeps it classic. Also, the dress displayed is not terribly expensive. It retails for $92 from Topshop. With a dress like this showing so much skin, keep the accessories minimal. Your body is an accessory to the dress so one or two pieces of jewelry is all you need to look gorgeous.Cork sandals are a summer staple. You may want to invest in a pair of cork sandals that will last a few seasons.
