TEAM SATS- Healy/Folden Edition

If you've been keeping up your not only aware of the fab girl group "The Saturdays" but you know I am big fan! The Sats are made up of Vanessa White, Frankie Sanford, Rochelle Wiseman, Mollie King (previously covered) and sweet Miss Una Healy. Una recently married footballer Ben Foden, and looked gorgeous but I am not sure if its Healy any more . . . . .? Regardless, this Auburn haired Irish fashion goddess is not only a pop superstar, wife but also mother to precious Aoife Belle. Here are some of my favorite looks!

This first look is a causal playsuit Una is wearing, with over sized sunnies. First, the cut of this playsuit is very flattering to Miss Healy's petite figure. I also really like the girly print and ruffle combo, this maybe a bit too much for some but Una accessorized this romper perfectly with a simple necklace and sunnies. The feminine print of this playsuit seems brighter in the pinks but but subdued in overall color which really plays well with Una's natural skin tone. Finally, some may say over sized sun glasses are a thing of the past but Una's frame's are a fun octagonal shape with side embellishments which to me make them quirky and unique. In this picture we aren't aware of what kind of footwear Miss Healy/Foden is rocking but I would suggest a fun wedge! Keeping it causal and classy, we like it Una!

This next look is another great causal look for any woman but Una is stylish and pregnant in this photograph! It appears that Una really likes to play with fun prints and this tunic is no exception. This blue and purple multicolored tunic or dress has an amazing one of a kind print with sweet ruffles and lace on the bottom hem. Una paired this cool top with comfy and slimming black leggings, and ballet flats. Una is practicing an IMPORTANT rule with leggings so listen up ladies! When wearing leggings no matter how cute you think your legs or butt are the top you wear with your leggings must cover AT LEAST half of your backside if not completely cover your tush!  Una is rocking the high-low hem trend so I can easily tell from this photograph that her butt is covered! Finally Una completes her look with some elegant simple mid length layering necklaces. This outfit would be comfy chic for any lady but super stylish for those with a bun in the oven, well done Miss Healy!

This final look I like of Una's is a causal summer look! Una rocks a plain black tank with patterned shorts for an easy but stylish summer look. If anything this outfit goes to show you don't need to layer or put a ton of items on to look effortlessly cool, especially in sticky summer months. While the black tank is a basic every girl should have in her wardrobe the shorts are what really make this outfit. I really like these shorts because they are a really fancy sophisticated print that looks like it could be a beautiful tapestry or table cloth but they are printed on a canvas or denim like material mixing high end with causal and very wearable fabrics. Una rocks a few dainty bracelets and classic black sunglasses to complete her look. Once again we can't tell what kind of shoes shes wearing but you could really pair many footwear choices with this look, like classic black sandals, gladiators, a strappy wedge, this outfit leaves a lot of choices for the wearer. Looking effortless in the summer with a cool treat, what could be better?


While Una is a beautiful woman with her own unique and wonderful sense of style, I figured I would leave you with the up-and-coming fashionista in the making Miss Aoife Belle! Suri watch your back!

Top Shop on Top

I feel like I need to apologize for being a slack-a-saurus rex (dinosaur species phased out asap for their lack of motivation for anything including hunting, gathering, etc). Something about the summer, and the heat makes me move reaaaaal slow mentally, physically, everything. Continuing with the lazy slug attitude I decided to just do my top picks from a new favorite retailer Top Shop. I signed up to be notified when a certain dress of theirs came back into stock in my size but I have also received the pleasure of almost daily emails from my dearest Top Shop. Here are my current fave picks

who wears short shorts?

These Co-Ord Boucle Shorts are kind of amazing. First, you have to have a pretty tiny waist and really long legs to pull of shorts these short but the diet would be well worth it! These shorts are fun, sophisticated and classy while still being colorful. I love the color variation in the texture of the pattern, and the fit would be awesome with a black or white blouse tucked in. And if you are on the fashion fast track you would wear these bad boys with black tights and booties in the fall! Not for work, unless your working the corner : )

cool and causal

Next, this romper is super cute. I won't lie, I was probably one of the last girls to jump on the romper band wagon but the fact is unless you style them correctly they look juvenile and sloppy. This particular romper has a really great pattern, beautiful piping on the pockets and a little knotted key hole to make this play suit less play pen and more downtown playful. I would suggest ordering one size up on a romper because if anything is tight the look is all wrong, it should be loose fitting at the waist and very top only! This would be a really cute look to rock this summer.

This final dress is a great answer to the current peplum trend. I can understand where ladies maybe hesitant to rock the peplum trend, especially with really large and fluffy peplums in stores. This dress is peplum trend lite, with just a dainty ruffle at the waist. This dress would be an incredible add to any girls closet because of its form fitting nature this dress would likely compliment any ladies shape, but the modest hem line and collar would make this frock really wearable for a variety of occasions. Furthermore I really like the bold blue color, and I could easily see this dress on a variety of celebs!
