Socialites, Stripes and Sunnies

Recently with the lack of dress up award shows and just perhaps plain laziness there hasn’t been a certain celeb inspiration for me this week. Instead, I decided to reflect on something that EVERYONE is doing, pinning! Pinterest has become a huge social media phenomenon that is evolving into something bigger with stores selling goods, companies and bloggers alike making their own boards and gathering followers, the limits of pinterest have yet to be defined. I personally jumped on the pinterest train this past spring and have been an avid rider ever since. All pinners will tell you their favorite section of pinterests is the largest like baking, home décor, celebrities, vehicles, photography, nature, etc! But, naturally my favorite is the woman’s fashion section. Here are my top favorite picks!

First, this is one of my favorite looks brought to you by none other than Olivia Palermo. Part socialite, part reality star, part fashionista Olivia Palermo is a bag of interesting. Starting at the top Olivia’s hair is perfection in color and it looks beautifully soft to the touch, just had to say it and her sunnies, cute but plain to compliment the black and white theme of the outfit. Next, the blouse is basically what this outfit is all about. The white collared tie neck blouse is perfection and Olivia pairs it perfectly with a soft cream sweater and loose black shorts. The sweater and shorts are the perfect combo with this blouse because it gives a beautiful but sometimes stuffy looking blouse the ability to transition into casual wear and just look effortless. Clearly, we can’t tell what kind of shoes Miss Palermo is wearing but I am sure they are fabulous!

This next girl maybe supa famous but I have no idea who she is, so for now she’ll be the well dressed model. This outfit is fall/winter perfection because of its layering. The sunnies on top to start are of course great, the tomato-y red jacket is beautiful with great gold buttons and a nice cut that hugs this cute blonde’s body. Under that jacket is the layering magic, a denim shirt or jacket with a striped shirt and big chunky jewelry. YES PLEASE! Everyone knows stripes and chunky jewelry is the way to my heart. With all of that business happening on top of the outfit this girl keeps it simple with staple black skinny pants, and leopard print loafers. Usually I am not a fan of animal prints but in this case it works well. Finally, this outfit is finished out with a brown leather sling bag that is flawless! Unknown cute model you worked that outfit girl!

The final outfit is on yet another gorgeous model and this outfit is just simple elegance. I guess from these models you can tell I really like sunglasses to complete an outfit, also I love this girls pearls! The multi-strand hits at just the perfect length with this crew neck sweater, and the slouchy-ness of this sweater combined with the fitted adorable mini skirt creates a cool, young, but glamorous look. Also, I am not a huge fan of this color yellow on the sweater but it works really well with this girls skin tone, and compliments the tones on her pearls, skirt and clutch. Finally, this dashing young lady completes her look with an on trend oversized boyfriend watch and a charming brown clutch (every girl should own).  A super cute outfit for work, play or evening ;)

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!
