On our Summer radar…..

Posted by styl0421 on June 4, 2013 Leave a Comment

Summer rolls around, and everything seems lovelier. Maybe I am just seeing things through rose-colored glasses from all of the extra Vitamin D, but I want to try new things and be more adventurous. What’s on my radar for the month of June?

First off, I must try the Skinnygirl Mojito. I am a huge fan of Mojitos and love having one in the summer. But of course, I’m not a huge fan of the calories and sugar content. Cheers to this making the cut!

Now let’s talk about the Banana Republic/Milly collaboration. I’m not overly impressed (I think they played it way too safe), but I do love these shorts.

Milly Collection Feathers Short, $55

A collab I’m much happier with the result is that of Target and Sam & Libby. I was in there over the weekend and wanted to buy all of them! Great prices, great timeless yet trendy enough style. Here’s my favorite:

Sam & Libby Karina 3 Sandal, $24.99

This might seem silly, but I can’t stop thinking about ordering a few pairs of these barre socks. You don’t have to wear them specifically for bar method, barre, or daily method classes (although the skids are super helpful during the workout) – and they will give your boring old white and black sock drawer a lift. Aren’t the prints and colors cute?

Who knew socks with skids weren’t just for kids?

Barre Socks in Trekker Orange, $10

Barre Socks in Yellow Stripe, $10

These past couple of months a few of my friends and family members have had new babies. What to get a 2nd or 3rd time Mom? I actually saw this (well not this exact one) in a client’s home recently and had to ask her where she had it made.

Etsy, of course! The shop is called Designs by Nicolina. You can personalized this with your own size and color choices, and I plan to head to Hobby Lobby for a pretty white frame and mat.

‘First we had each other’ Art Print, $20.50

Lastly, I can’t get enough of Gorjana’s ‘Greer Bow Tie necklace.’ It would go with everything, and eliminates the need to have to layer your necklaces because it’s just interesting enough on it’s own.

Gorjana’s Greer Bow Tie Necklace, $80

Hope I’ve piqued your interest with a few things on my radar this month – what did I miss? Please tell us what you’re thinking about for the first month of summer!

Shoes, Shoes, Shoes…….

Posted by styl0421 on May 23, 2013 Leave a Comment

Memorial day weekend is upon us, and shoes are on the brain. In particular, shoes to wear to a wedding. I’ve got a family wedding to attend this weekend out of town, and I bet many of you have weddings coming up in the next couple of months.

I’ve got three stipulations for a new pair of dressy shoes:

1. Not super expensive

2. Must be able to transition to casual (aka worn with jeans or dressy shorts)

3. On-trend but not trendy, persay

To my surprise, I found a lot of great options! I won’t divulge what I purchased (so I can Instagram about it this weekend, ha!), but what I bought WILL be included. Maybe you can guess. ;-)))

First up, something basic and beautiful. Nude platform pumps with just a touch of something different about them.

BCBG Generation Parade Pump, $89

There’s no denying my obsession with these. Subtle animal print + hot pink? Yes, please and thank you.

Joan & David Odelia Pumps, on sale at Nordstrom for $120!!!

Fell in love with these Ivanka Trump sandals/pumps once I tried them on. They look gorge on your feet. A lady walking by me in Nordstrom’s shoe department even said ” You MUST buy those, they are fab.” Can’t argue with that!

Ivanka Trump Mallorie Sandal, $129

Another Joan & David I couldn’t walk away from – gold and black will match almost any LBD in your closet.

Joan & David Siona Sandal, $169

This is the perfect shoe if you need something on the lighter side, color-wise. I love that it has a little bit of glitz to it, but it’s not a super high heel.

Sole Society Savannah Sandal, $59

Need something saucy and black? These lace ups aren’t really a lace up (thank gawd) since they zip up the back (even cooler) and – they will never go out of style.

Nine West Kenie Sandal, $89

This one is a little obvious for a wedding, but sometimes the most obvious shoes are the hardest to find!

Ivanka Trump Anita, $135

Dear Jessica Simpson, surprisingly you make some awesome shoes. Thanks, Style Spies.

Jessica Simpson Jessies, $79

Finally – if you ARE looking for something metallic – this is IT. Silver AND gold – so versatile.

Sam Edelman Allie, $130

Happy long weekend, everyone – and remember to start this season in style!

Summer Hits

Summer Hits

I am currently loving all of the trends that are out there right now for summer and wanted to share some Top Summer Hits!

The Printed Jacket

Perfect to throw on over a maxi dress or for a cool summer night.

Trina Turk Moto Jacket $326

Statement Rings

We have all seen that statement necklaces are all the rage but what about adding some rings in?

Ariella Stackable Rings $38

Anything Aztec

Aztec seems to the the hot print right now -

this skirt is perfect for a skinny tank top and flip flops during the day - and wedges for night!

Midi Aztec Floral Skirt $61

Metal Trimmed Sandals

The little detail of the metal on these shoes take our sandals to a new level. A little bit of dressy with our casual sandals!

Archer Sandal $69

Neon is Back

It definitely brings us back to the 80′s but there is a subtle way of adding a bit of neon to our wardrobe this summer (without humming Tiffany in our head!) This bag is adorable – especially with a plain white t-shirt and some boyfriend jean shorts!

Neon Crossover Bag $49

Happy Summer Shopping!

I have been shopping like a maniac lately. Not so much for me, but for my clients (yay!). Everyone is looking for a few new spring and summer items to pop into their closets – and luckily for them, there’s a lot out there. I wanted to highlight some of my favorite things for you – some are budget friendly too, yippee!

First off, this Skater dress from Asos. It says the fabric is ‘bonded.’ What this really means is that the fabric feels like a scuba diving suit! It’s awesome. Super flattering and keeps it’s structure. Comes in this pretty green color and also coral. Only $84.85.

Having a mini love affair with floral print heels. If you’re not so sure about the floral trend ending up on your thighs, wearing it on your shoes is the way to go. These Ted Baker platform floral pumps are gorgeous, and only $74.

Another style I can’t get enough of? Camouflage print skinny jeans. They go with just about anything, and are trendy in a super casual ‘oh, i just threw these on’ way. These are from Madewell, but are Textile by Elizabeth & James. Oh yeah – they’re on SALE! Normally $192, now $139.50.

Another dress that is just easy-peasy for summer is this ribbed ponte knit number from Banana Republic. I have to give my Mom and sis credit for this one, they found it and I had to check it out for myself. The fabric is stretchy with a teensy bit of sheen, and you can show off those legs ladies! At $98 it’s a no brainer - it comes in black and cobalt blue too.

Another shoe I can’t get off my mind? This BCBG Gamma Mesh Bootie. Originally $275, it’s at Neiman Marcus’ Last Call site for $189. These are TO DIE FOR in person – trust me.

This new necklace from Gorjana is insanely cute on. Trust me on this!!! So original but not trendy, you will want to wear it every day. Greer Bow Tie Necklace, $80.

One last thing. The peplum trend just isn’t going away – and that’s ok with me. It is flattering on a lot of body types – that’s rare. Shopbop has done an exclusive peplum top with Alice + Olivia in some pretty pastels with an exposed back zipper. Mint green and peach. Pretty with white or light denim, white slacks, a printed skirt (as shown), or even dressed down with some cut off jean shorts and cool gladiator sandals.

Have I given you any inspiration? Anything you’re obsessing over these days? We’d love to hear.

“It’s All Good” by Gwyneth Paltrow

Happy Easter = Happy Fashion

Happy Easter = Happy Fashion

Any excuses to wear floral prints, bright colors and/or lace this weekend? I got one, Easter! Not everyone celebrates, but those that do want to look their best.

These are some looks I have been scoping out for this years Easter celebration (and not only for me but for my daughters as well).

Adrianna Papell Scalloped Lace Dress

$138 at Nordstrom

Worn as is- perfection!

Xhilaration Juniors Keyhole Dress

$24.99 at Target

Pair it with a White cardigan and Nude t-strap sandals. This one won’t break your bank either.

Jack by BB Dakota Cherry Chiffon Dress

$59 at Urban Outfitters

Wear it with shoes below and you got the look!

Rilo Wedges

$89 at Lucky Brand

Ponte Full-Skirt Dress

$130 at Banana Republic

Add a big chunky necklace and Floral-print pumps.

Miss Me Jeans, Skinny Floral-Print

$99 at Macy’s

For a more casual look, pair it with a pewter peplum tee.

i jeans by Buffalo Lace-Front Chiffon-Back Top

$25 at JC Penny

Go bold with this tank, white skinnies and shoes below (don’t forget the bunny ears though).

DV Footwear ‘Greer’ Flat

$78.95 at Nordstrom

NEXT UP, looks for my daughters (and yours as well).

Sydney, my almost 3 year old is like a princess and tomboy all wrapped up in one. The first look is what I would like to see her in, the second look is what she will most likely end up wearing.

Isobella and Chloe Dress

$50 at Nordstrom

Darling, sweet, great color and just the right amount of tutu.

Harajuku Mini for Target Toddler Girls Short Sleeve Dress- Yellow

$20 at Target

Love Gwen’s Harajuku Mini line at Target so don’t get me wrong, just not what I would pick for Easter Sunday.

Now for Skyler my 7 month old, she has no choice but to let me pick her outfit. I won’t pick a dress for her though because it is not functional for me to hold her with one on- they ride up so easily. Therefore, I will pick more of a romper style.

Chambray short one-piece

$29.95 at Gap

You can add so much to this, cute hair accessories for sure and maybe even a little colorful cardigan.

‘Ardmore’ Romper Infant

$30 at Nordstrom

Love this pattern and looks so comfortable for the little one.

Here’s to the Easter Bunny putting a Nordstrom Gift Card into your Easter Basket this year!

Happy Shopping, Happy Spring, Happy Easter to all!

My name is Erin and I am currently obsessed with Monogramming.

Yes, it is true.

Lately, I am finding myself obsessed with initials, monogramming – and it may be a problem.

From the home …

to the runway!

My dear friend, Jodi has a business Keepsake Designs by JS that has filled my obsession for the moment and I had to share!

These are my recent purchases that I am LOVING!

For a girls night out …

Island Clutch $35 (Avail in more colors)

At the pool …

Floppy Pool Hat $28 (Avail in more colors)

and for my ‘not so good’ hair days!

I ADORE every one of them! I have already worn my baseball hat to the gym a few times and the floppy hat can’t wait to make its debut for summer!

Perfect gifts for yourself and your friends …

The Ultimate Ballet Flat

Posted by styl0421 on March 26, 2013 Leave a Comment

Today I’m bringing you a GREAT ‘look for less’ story. Last week I happened into a local boutique here in Chicago and fell in LOVE with these Chloe ballet flats. In LOVE.

Via Instagram – follow me at ‘molliestylespies’

I did not, however, fall in love with the price. $485. I think at the boutique I was in they were marked to $525. Here they are on Bloomingdales.com.

Chloe Ballerina Flats, Masha Dancer – $485

The happy ending to this expensive love story? Browsing through my Sundance catalog over the weekend I found THESE!

Everyday Ballets, $130

And, they come in black too!

Everyday Ballets, $130

Happy Spring Break (aka Online Shopping week to escape your own home for a few moments) week!

On Target

Posted by styl0421 on March 19, 2013 Leave a Comment

I cannot stop shopping for spring at Target right now! They have really nailed the trends and the basics this season, at a price point everyone can afford. We have a trip scheduled to Scottsdale at the end of April and I have been looking in my closet lately to see what pieces I’m missing for the upcoming warmer season. One would think that maybe I could wear a few of these pieces now since it’s March 18 – but one look outside at our ‘wintry mix’ and that’s a solid NO. Argh Chicago weather!!

Some things I may or may not have already taken home?

This pleather jacket is SO CUTE on. It comes in 4 different colors, but this blue is gorgeous. And it doesn’t look like pleather. Trust me! The ruching on the side is such a great detail.

Target Xhilaration Faux Leather Jacket, $39.99

The contrast pocket on this hi-low tank got me. Super cute under a jean jacket, comes in three other colors, $12.99. Donesies!

Mossimo Supply Co Hi-Lo Tank, $12.99

I’m always looking for cute but not juvenile (this is a key point here people) graphic tees. These Mossimo ones are perfect. They’re not too tight, not too long – great with shorts, jeans, flip flops or flats.

Mossimo Supply Co Graphic Tee, $14.99

I knew i needed this shirt the minute I touched it. It’s a nice rayon/spandex mix, and is very similar to a style by James Perse that usually goes for $125!!! I tried it on – drapes beautifully. Are you saying – that’s so BASIC! Exactly. Every woman needs a great white casual blouse – think of the jewelry options you can put with this ‘basic’ blouse. Statement necklaces galore!

Converse One Star Long Sleeve button down top, $22.99

Finally, a Stuart Weitzman knockoff done right. Obsessing over these at SW for a couple of seasons, now I can get them for $24.99! Wear with everything. Literally.

Mossimo Pam Wedge, $24.99

One of my favorite ways to punch up a handbag that’s been around the block a few times is to tie a cute scarf onto one of the handles. This fits the bill. Colorful but not too much; the fringe adds to the hip factor.

Global Girlfriend Black Wildflower Scarf, $24.99

Love Target style? Me too – here’s another way to obsess: the Target Style blog: On the Dot.
