I own these and love them! They take a little while to break in, but they look great with any bottoms. Simple and chic, these shoes go with any outfit.http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/steve-madden-simple-leather-sandal/3135694?origin=category&resultback=2138

This piece is only for a night out. You cannot wear this in daytime because of the low back and beaded shoulders. This really reminds me of Blake Lively's style. Since the color is very light and neutral, you might need a little tan to pull this off.http://www1.bloomingdales.com/catalog/product/index.ognc?ID=521003&CategoryID=11980

Spring Break 2011 is coming up! Bathing suits are one of my favorite things to shop for, because they can be so unique! Certain styles are better for different figures. Small-Chested: Bandeau, for Big-Chested: triangle top. Now is the perfect time to shop for that specil bathing suit!

I Love the whole boho, southern cali look. It gives an effortless, yet pulled together look. Tie-dye can look tacky so watch out. You dont want too much pattern and too much color.

Layering bracelets, once again is in. Gold and black look great together and can really tie together can outfit. A great outfit for these bracelets is a classic LBD with gold sandals.http://www.madewell.com/newarrivals/jewelry/PRDOVR~45146/45146.jsp

Everyone needs a pair of black shorts. They can dress up any top. They add sophistication so any spring/summer shirt. They are a key basic. Make sure they arent too long and not booty shorts. A good length is the where your finger tips hot your leg (thank you dress code). http://www.freepeople.com/clothes-shorts-skorts/iro-stretch-suede-short/

Yes, they have the nickname, "bug eyes", but they are very flattering on certain face shapes. Sunglasses are very essential to protect your eyes from the sun, in a fashionable way. I tried these on in the store and loved them. http://www.michaelkors.com/store/catalog/prod.jhtml?itemId=prod9990036&parentId=cat149&masterId=cat144&index=16&cmCat=cat000000cat144cat149

Bloomingdales included this in their new spring lookbook and it caught my eye. It's fresh and light and looks very confortable. It can be worn to an outdoor wedding or a nice daytime date.

The style of this dress gives a simple plain dress a little spark. Peach is a bright summer color that looks great against a tan. The one shoulder shows a little skin without going over board. Paired with dangling earring and cute wedges would create a perfect summer outfit.

Okay these aren't really a splurge..they are $100. Which is pretty average for jeans. These are from Lucky Brand, which are known for jeans. White pants give you a clean, crisp look in the summer. White is not always flattering..so watch out.

Summer is coming up and it's time to bring out the sandals. I like a kind of boho, preppy style for summer. These Ralph Lauren sandals are polished but have a kind of earthy feel. They are very well priced and are a neutral, so they go with everything!

I know $220 is alot to spend on a bead and string bracelet, but layering bracelets is on right now. This piece would look great with two more layer bracelets in different colors. You can dress it up or wear it casual. It comes in a lot of different colors at bloomingdales.

This is a sick bathing suit from Victoria Secret. They have thousands of bathing suits, I picked this one becuase ive never seen one like this! The tan line might be a little strange, but you will look fierce.

Big trend this past year is the trench. Nautral colors go with everything and give a very polished look. Burberry makes this gorgeous trench, but if this isnt in your price range, many other designers make similar trenches.

Michael Kors is one of my favorite designers. probably in my top five. His handbags are absolutely stunning. My friend has this wallet/clutch in black and it's to die for. Michael makes sname skin look elegant, not trashy. This is definitely worth $118.

Obsession #1

Spring is coming and all brands are coming out with their new insane spring lines. Free People came out with this "Lace Cropped Kaftan" for $228. This piece is great for layering over bathing suits for a day at the beach, or putting the piece together with a cute pair of jean shorts and big earrings for a girls day out.
