We're Loving: PHYLLIS + ROSIE JEWELRY

As we love to share our best, new finds, Phyllis + Rosie was no exception. Thanks to She's Unqiue, a local boutique where we discover many of our favorite jewelry designers, we we're lucky enough to be introduced. Our favorite piece right now would have to be the Coin Necklace. I have it and you would know it if you knew me because I wear it almost every day. It's such a perfect piece for summer. I love it with all white, or any deep-V neckline and I plan to wear pair it with my suits at the beach. Gold looks amazing on top of a great tan. I wear it long or I even double-wrap it for a shorter, layered look. Click an image to shop directly!

We made it a goal that that we would share more of the 'what we're loving' side of this blog on a regular basis. Part of the fun behind this blog anyways is the fun that comes with finding new places to shop. Of course we all have our go-to's, but it's important to "expand your collection," as I like to call it.

I forget how we stumbled across Moorea Seal (I'm sure on Instagram), but when we did it was totally one of those moments where you immediately find/follow them on all social media sites (you don't?) and quickly bookmark the page. The Moorea Seal shop is made up of a carefully curated selection of designers who make and sell beautiful things, all seeming to be fashion, art and home decor related. Obviously, we were initially drawn to the jewelry first and foremost. There is really something unique for everyone, I think. And, they have those great basics that every girl is always in the market for, like a the perfect dainty, midi ring for $8. Knowing a portion of the site's proceeds are donated to five charities (you can even shop by cause), is pretty awesome too.

New Year's Eve, Eve

DSC_1548

This was a holiday look that we recently shared on The DC Ladies blog. We decided since it can easily be replicated, and is equally as appropriate, for a New Year's Eve party that we would share it again. This outfit has all of the right ingredients to make sure that you ring in the new year as fashionably broke as possible! Sequins being the most important ingredient of course...

Summer Beach Tips

Summertime means many beach trips for these beach babes, but packing for the beach isn't always easy. We find ourselves pressed to consolidate our perfected routines (typically by Dad) and determined to not over pack, so it's really important to narrow down our style and beauty rituals to simply the essentials. We've found there are three main goals when packing for the beach: Stay cool, stay protected and stay stylish. See below for some of our tips and tricks when it comes to packing for your beach trips this summer!

Summer Tips with Starbucks Iced Coffee

Coffee is always a must, even on vacation, so we stay cool by swapping out our morning cups of coffee for a refreshing Starbucks Iced Coffee drink. We like to bring enough of these babies to be able to throw one in our beach cooler each morning before we head to the beach.

Sunglasses are always a must to keep your eyes protected during a long day in the sun, which is why we like to pack a few pairs, for backup in the case the ocean eats up a pair. [Made-Up-But-Probably-True Fact: The most common place to loose your sunglasses is at the beach.]

Stay stylish with a versatile cover-up, like this white one from Tory Burch. We don't know about you, but we always treat ourselves to a new bathing suit and we encourage experimenting with different brands. Just when you think you've seen it all, new brands like Marysia Swim emerge with newer, fresher styles to try out. We're so drawn to their suits this summer because of the cool, geometric edging.

SUNGLASSES: Madewell (on sale)
COVER-UP: Tory Burch Tunic
BATHING SUIT: Marysia Swim Bikini

Furla Candy Bags

Looking for the perfect summer it-bag? Meet Furla! I love to make a statement and their signature, rubber handbags (carefully curated in Italy, I might add) do just the trick for me. I love my Mini "Candy" Bag, which Erika picked up at Nordstrom for me, but there are so many more that are simply adorable. We have a feeling these are going to be popping up everywhere very soon! The pale pink just totally suits the feminine, summer vibe I have going on right now - Which Furla suits you best?

Style Refresh

As the seasons change and we get into the warmer months, our daily routines always changes a bit. We like to think of these changes as our summer style and beauty “upgrade,” because the need for all of these changes is due to something that we love – Like the sun, warm weather, salt water…need we go on? There are so many quick and easy ways to upgrade to your daily routine. From a brighter mani, to SPF everything, and even a little change in my coffee routine, we are going to show you our idea of the perfect summer style refresh!

Summer Style Upgrade

Beginning with the basics, here are just seven, simple ways we've upgraded our style this summer:

1. Nivea Kiss of Protection, Lip SPF 30: Literally, feels like butter. Plus, we can’t stress the importance of protecting your lips! Don’t forget, they are important for many things ;)

2. Sonia Kashuk Sunkissed Bronzing Powder: It’s time we embrace our summer glow with a little help from a good bronzing powder. For under $10, the price can’t be beat.

3. Sephora Ribbon Hair Ties: Hair ties are essential on hot days. And this is one of those situations where you say to yourself, “Why didn’t I think of that?” A comfortable, no-pull hair tie that also looks great on your wrist? Sold! We also love that Sephora offers this colorful variety pack.

4. L’Oreal Nail Color, Not A Cloud In Sight: Tis the season to brighter and bolder hues! A new nail polish is the easiest way to upgrade your look with a pop of color.

5. Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist Sunblock: A no hassle, mess-free way to make sure our precious skin is protected from the sun, at all times.

6. Starbucks Iced Coffee Drinks: The essential beverage for the long, hot days of spring and summer! Plus, in the warmer seasons we’ve found that our schedules get a bit more hectic than usual, leaving us less time to brew that pot of coffee every morning. These ready-to-go iced coffee drinks are our solution! They come in so many delicious flavors (vanilla and caramel are our favorites!) so there’s always something to fit our ever-changing, daily cravings.

7. Starbucks Cold-To-Go Straws: We couldn’t resist these reusable straws for our coffee. There’s something about drinking out of a straw that just makes things better.

Of course, there are even more ways beyond these seven summer essentials to upgrade your style. New bathing suits, a new beach tote, mirrored sunglasses, strappy sandals and a bright lip take things to the next level for the fun-filled and fashionable summer ahead (see above)!

Oh, and those Starbucks Iced Coffee drinks, we highly recommend you try these delicious bursts of energy in a jar. You can also pick up a set of venti-sized straws here, while you’re at it!

16 Ways To Wear Tropical Prints

Tropical Print Fashion

ONE / TWO / THREE / FOUR / FIVE / SIX / SEVEN / EIGHT / NINE & NINE / TEN / ELEVEN / TWELVE / THIRTEEN / FOURTEEN / FIFTEEN / SIXTEEN

This was such a fun post to do - I love tropical prints right now in the form of anything and everything. I've found a few (or sixteen) awesome ways to wear this summer-worthy print this season - Take your pick! My personal favorite is number sixteen. Last, but not least, a tropical print blouse from Forever21, that appears to have a matching pair of trousers, which I need both of obviously, for a full-length, tropical suit. Who doesn't want to look like a walking palm tree, really?

Handbags, What?

If you didn't notice before from all of the Stella & Dot I am always sporting here on this blog, or in those classic arm party pictures that I just love to post to Instagram, then the cat's out of the bag now! I am a Stella & Dot Stylist. It has truly been one of the best decisions I ever made. Besides that Stella & Dot such an awesome company to work for and the parties are so much fun, my jewelry stash has never been the same since.

When they first came out with a few purses, then some scarves, and even candles, I freaked. Now, as the main focus of their Summer 2013 Collection, they have released a line of adorable handbags and MORE accessories! From the little poofs that I just die for, to jewelry travel bags and huge totes, we are all in trouble. I wanted to share with you a few of the bags that I'm adding to my collection of samples for my trunk shows. They are so cute to mix and match and there are tons more on the website that aren't shown here so be sure to check them out here!

Stella & Dot Handbags

Elephant Poof, Elephant Getaway Bag
THREE Ikat Poof, Ikat How Does She Do It Bag

Cuyana in Color

There is really nothing I love more than finding a unique brand, like Cuyana. I love shopping from stores that you can't find at a mall.

So, more about Cuyana -

- They donate a percentage of the profits to those who don't have access to safe drinking water; a cause I truly believe in

- Their mission is based on making soulful fashion attainable

- Not only are all of the accessories you will find on Cuyana.com are beautiful, but every last detail, down to their gift boxes (which are fabric-covered, reusable boxes imported from Sweden), are special.

Cuyana is hosting a giveaway in honor of their new Spring, Mexican-inspired collection!
