Truffle

I first found out about Truffle from one of my PopSugar Must Have boxes and loved the concept.  A transparent pouch that you could use as a clutch or to help organize your purse? I’m in.

I have an original Large Clarity Pouch and love to bring it to the beach to keep my phone, wallet, keys, and Chapstick  sand-free.   It’s great for transferring all of my staple purse items to and from my different handbags (I’m a chronic bag switcher and it helps me to make sure I’m never without a hair tie, nail file, lip balm…).  While it’s perfect for carry-on bags, beach bags or any of my XL purses, my only complaint is it is on the larger size for use in my everyday bags.

When I saw they came out with a new line of goodies – the Clarity Clutches, I knew I needed to get my hand on them. I love the sleek look and fun pastel colors, and was excited to get my hand on a smaller size to use for some of my smaller purses.

Navy Pants 6

I used to give my mom a hard time about liking an article of clothing, then buying it in every color.  So needless to say, I was a little shocked (when cleaning out my closet), to see that the apple hasn’t fallen far from the tree.  Halogen pencil skirts – I own 8, J.Crew Minnie Pants – I own 5, and now these drapey pants – I own 6. Ugh.

While I’ve shared my love for them here and here, I have realized I am finally at a point in my fashion evolution where I want to be comfortable.  Now don’t get carried away, you won’t find me around town in sneakers and a hoodie anytime soon (unless its Lulu), but I am learning that you can be fashionable and comfortable too…

Printed Pants 8

As you may have seen here and here… I have a slight obsession with these fun slouchy pants, and when I hit up the Zara sale last week I knew I needed to have these silly pants ($20?! yes please.).

In the 10 days I’ve owned these pants, I’ve worn them 3 times.  I love that you can dress them up or dress them down and have pair them with everything from a slouchy t-shirt to a slinky tank and blazer.

Wedding Attire 101

The other day I was reading about “20 things that change in your late 20’s” and one of them was the fact you should stop buying white dresses because you won’t have any place to wear them (in reference to the vast amount of weddings/wedding related events you’ll need to attend).  While I will always continue to buy white dresses, it did get me thinking about just WHAT you can wear to a wedding… here are my top 10 do’s and dont’s:

  1. Don’t wear white (even if the bride doesn’t care, chances are someone else will)
  2. Do wear a fun colored dress (bright coral, buttercup yellow, emerald green are all great options)
  3. Don’t wear anything too sexy (remember you are at a family event)
  4. Do dress time appropriate (don’t wear sequins to a day wedding or a sundress to an evening wedding)
  5. Don’t wear black (you want to make sure you don’t look like your going to a funeral, but a chic LBD should be fine)
  6. Do bring a sweater or shawl (churches or outdoor receptions can be cool)
  7. Don’t be afraid to wear prints (floral or stripes can be a fun option)
  8. Do look at the invite (invitations often will help guide dress code & any “themes” you need to adhere to)
  9. Don’t wear jeans (duh)
  10. Do think about your feet (between lawn ceremonies and dance parties, wedges and flat sandals are a great idea)

Here are some great dress options:
