Sweaty Bands

About a month ago I was in Boulder, CO shopping on Pearl Street the day before the Boulder Boulder (an annual marathon).  The streets were packed with vendors selling athletic and outdoorsy this and thats.  Among them were Sweaty Bands. These headbands come in different thicknesses and a million colors and prints.  They are designed for athletes but I wear mine as an accessory.  The Sweaty Band tag line is "OMG...they don't slip!" and it's true, they DO NOT move all day long.  The backside is lined with velvet and I'm guessing the "teeth" of the velvet grip your hair and don't let go.  Whatever it is, no sliding, no adjusting.  They're also super comfortable!

Arm Candy

It's candy time.  Surprise your mom, sister and girlfriend with one of these candylicious arm charms.  They come in a variety of bright colors, perfect timing for spring.  Sold at Target.

The packaging is a little less than desirable so I paired the watch with the May issue of Martha Stewart Living.  It's covered with poppy's for an extra pop of color to brighten your friend's day.

Thanks for finding and sharing this little treasure M.D.

Stepping it Up!

Urban Outfitters got it right this year with their spring shoe collection.  They have a great selection of stylish and affordable sandals. Look for neutral wedges.  Some of our favorites are...

Matiko Modern Cutout Wedge

Cooperative Canvas Strap Wedge

Cooperative Espadrille Wedge Sandal
We Who See Mod Wedge

 

(Never thought I'd say it, but I'm also kind of loving the Dr. Scholl's Classic Sandal.  They remind me of summers by the pool with my mom.)

White Dress, Black Shoes?

Posted by Amanda

Before seeing this photo while perusing spring fashion trends, I would have NEVER paired a white dress with black shoes. Right? BUT BUT BUT, I'm loving this look!  Can't wait to give it a whirl!  What to you think?  Do I have to be a six foot tall runway model to pull it off? (cause I'm not!)  What do you think? Chic? Cool? Minimalism at it's best? Needing feedback ladies! (and gentlemen if you're out there)

Subtle Statements

Posted by Amanda

Blasts of bright colors are a cheery sign that Spring 2011 fashion has arrived.  But when it comes to shoes, it's all about the understated neutrals, minimalist design, and a barely there look that is ultra femme and the perfect compliment to bold print or color.  From boots and booties to wedges and flats, we are loving the softness and versality of this season's hottest shoes. 

Top to Bottom:

Chloe Ankle Strap Ballet Flats (my personal fav)

Pedro Garcia Temple Wedge Sandal

Modern Vintage Daisy Flat Boots

Orange Crush

Last year our love for turquoise knew no bounds.  This year, we are all about orange!  A bold block here, a little pop there, the key is to not be matchy matchy. Embrace your orange crush!
