Fantasizing over this J Crew Maxi Skirt

As you may have picked up on by now, I’m really digging these maxi-length skirts and dresses. They are fashionable, stylish, yet somehow effortless. They also offer endless possibilities! Throw one with a plain tshirt, a button up or a really great cropped jacket and you are ready to go! I personally love the color on the Jcrew version below. Check it out here.

This version is $118, but you can find some cheaper versions at Gap, Ann Taylor Loft and Forever 21. Since this is likely a passing trend, you don’t want to spend a fortune. However, I know I will find myself in one of these once a week for the duration of the spring, summer and fall, so I just might have to splurge!

My First HauteLook Purchase

I thought I’d go ahead and continue on this fashion and accessory trend and share my latest purchase (yes, another one)! I love statement necklaces so when I saw that HauteLook was having a statement necklace event, well I couldn’t be one to decline the invitation, now could I?

HauteLook is flash sale site, on par with Rue La La and Gilt Groupe, which offers high quality merchandise at a fraction of the price – provided you can join the sale promptly at 11 AM EST and get your merchandise in your online shopping bag faster than you can say “I have to have that!” Hautelook offers designer fashion and accessories – including jewelry (obviously), sunglasses and purses, and has expanded into home wares, beauty products, men’s and even children’s clothing.

I’ve ordered my fair share of goods from Rue La La and Gilt, but not HauteLook. I’ll be sure to give a detailed review upon receipt of my newest purchase. And, without any further ado, here she is:

Neon pops of color are perfect for the spring and I’ve been on the lookout for a tasteful, but bold statement necklace. Normally priced at $56.00, I got it for a steal at only $25.00 + $5.95 shipping and handling.

I am already dreaming up outfits which will be perfected by this lil’ gem!

 

Gap Nautical Maxi Dress

Just last night, I picked up this gem at Gap. It is a bit more than I’d normally spend on a maxi dress, but it was my birthday so I thought I’d go ahead and treat myself! I’m already thinking of all of the different ways to wear this dress and the possibilities are endless! Maxi dresses look great on their own, but can take on a whole new life when paired with the right accessories.

Pair it with your favorite colorful, cropped jacket and a bold statement necklace and you can tackle a day out on the town or a date night! Check the dress out at Gap here.
