Wrap me up...
...in summer-to-fall wrap cardigans! Whether you find yourself in a seasonal fashion transition (which is starting soon, sorry dearies) or just want to be prepared for ever-present temperature changes (darn air conditioners!), a flowy, feminine wrap cardigan is the perfect piece to add to your wardrobe staples.
I am a particularly big fan of the longer, slouchier, sans buttons, semi-shawl versions that can add a lovely, elegant je ne sais quoi to dresses or t-shirts while having the capability of becoming a mini-blanket in a pinch. Multi-tasking is what we're all about, right lovelies?
Look for these in a deep jewel color or in a floaty, ethereal pale hue and in whatever fabric tickles your fancy - cashmere, silk or cotton jersey, angora...as long as it looks like you didn't put any effort into your chic self, you're getting it right ;)
I promise that you won't regret throwing this on your body or into your bag for that extra layer of prettiness (and warmth) at a moment's notice.
Check out ShopStyle.com for an amazing array of ideas or my go-to website for handmade and custom styles, Etsy.com.
Some of my faves:
DKNY Luxe Knit Cozy Wrap Cardigan (this is the one you'll be seeing in all the mags)
Econica Organic Cotton/Bamboo Hoodie Wrap
Mossimo Black Long Sleeve Open Wrap Cardigan
Arden B Slub Wrap Cardigan
C&C California Stretch Pima "Agnes" Drape Cardigan
Rachel Pally Knit Wrap Cardigan
So go get wrapped up in something irresistibly cozy yet fabulously free of frumpiness!

To jumpsuit or not to jumpsuit...
I say it's a YES.
Whether it's halter or strapless, pants or shorts, I think it's a lovely, sexy, feminine look with a retro, 70's-ish feel. Instead of screaming, it just whispers summer and calls for flowy, tousled hair and a laid-back vibe...
The challenge, however, is finding one that fits just right. For those with long torsos, this will be a bit of a problem, but never fear dearies, I will be on the look-out for the perfect one for you.
Definitely safest in a dark color (think black or blue) and platforms or sky-high heels are a must!
The one pictured above is the Mara Hoffman Silk Jumpsuit - don't you just love the keyhole opening and genie-esque legs? Other ones I've found that are super-fabulous are the Arden B Kimono Split Sleeve Jumpsuit ($58), the Forever 21 Joyce Jumpsuit (just $25!) and the Express Strapless Jumpsuit (love the cobalt blue color - $80).
For loads more options, go to ShopStyle!
Now go bring out your inner Charlie's Angel!
