I did not realize it until I started to put all the pictures on to one page, but a majority of my picks this week have some massive gold wrist bling going on! I don’t know if this is some Freudian thing, wherein my unconscious mind is craving some huge, rapper-style gold watches, or if the glint of heavy metal just caught the attention of the five-year-old in me. Either way, I am loving these light and airy Spring looks with something bold keeping them down to Earth. These ladies are bringing it! (On a side note, before we get to the looks, I just want to say, I may be a little sad that Carla Bruni-Sarkozy will not be as in the limelight anymore since her husband is no longer president of France. If you notice a tear in my eye, just laugh at my ridiculousness, and know that I will be fawning over Duchess Catherine again very soon!)
1. Fashionvibe
I have to admit, the shades are a little too “alien” for me, but everything else is perfect. I love how light it looks, even with it being an all black outfit. The shirt gives just enough color to soften the look, the black is fancy enough for cocktails, but the shorts make it coffee-accessible. If I had ridiculously long legs, this would soooo be my go-to look! via
2. Atlantic-Pacific
Now, yes, she is dressed for the Kentucky Derby, an event that most of us will probably never attend. However, how cute would this be for a late Spring/early Summer wedding or bridal shower? And even though the dress is practically floating away, the nude accessories and the weighty arm candy keep her on the ground. Plus, you have to love that hat!! via
3. Brooklyn Blonde
Just give me the shoes please. via
4. Kendi Everyday
This is what I would have worn to Coachella (you know, if I had actually gone). However, I might show my sweet face at Lollapalooza this year, and this outfit will get some definite consideration from me! I love the flouncy-ness of the shirt and skirt, but it doesn’t overwhelm her frame. Again, the shoes and jewelry lend some heft to an otherwise flouncy look. via
5. Lilly’s Style
I have to admit, I had the biggest smile on my face when I saw this look from Lilly. mixing black and brown is not the cake walk that everyone seems to think it is. It takes skill and usually the mix of another color, but not a color that will overshadow the black or the brown. This look actually reminds me of Ilsa’s outfit in Casablanca, the night that she goes to see Rick to get the visas. It is slimming, elongating and perfectly cute! via
6. A Lovely Escape
Jeans are always too long for me, so I have deep love and admiration for women who cuff their jeans just like me. Especially when they are cuffing said jeans to show off such a great pair of shoes. The ripped up jeans with the fancy heels is like my every-single-weekend look. via
7. Girl with Curves
I love this dress so freaking much. Can Tanesha do any wrong? No, I do not think so. via
8. 9 to 5 Chic
I could lose everything as long as I could keep the feathers. Although the purse is cute too! via
9. Lilly’s Style
Yes, Lilly made the list twice this week. I just love this look SO much! The skirt has such a great vintage feel to it, and I love the fullness that it brings to the outfit. The shoes add a touch of ferocity and the shirt truly looks identical to about 8 shirts that I have hanging in my closet right now. via
10. Pink Peonies
Probably the only way that I could get myself to wear white skinny jeans is to do everything else in black, as seen here. And then what does she do?? She throws on a mighty fist full of gold on her wrist. When you see me wearing this out to brunch next week, please don’t tell people that I copied this look from head to toe. I want my friends to think that I have a little creativity!! via
