Loving the look of maxi skirts and leather jackets definitely casual chic. Great lengths indeed.

GINGHAM AND MEMORIAL DAY

Happy Memorial Day! Today's post is inspired by gingham, the "all American" print, which has inspired picnics all over. When I was a little girl living in Dallas, Texas my mom and dad would take my sister and I on picnics, I remember my dad bought my mother the mother of all picnic baskets, the basket was huge, and the inside was  yellow gingham, and the plates and cups and napkins were all yellow, I just thought it was the best thing since sliced bread, and I use to want to go on a picnic everyday just so that I could carry that beautiful picnic basket. So here's to fond memories, happy holidays and being with those you love most. Enjoy and Be Inspired!

VARSITY BLUES

I have always wanted a varsity jacket from my high school days, they symbolize so much, they're like sporty fashion bragging rights, they're all American and have caught  the eye of high end designers, yes, varsity jackets have gone from coveted high school letter-man jackets to an on trend fashion must have, but remember, there no JV players here. Enjoy and Be Inspired!

 

The outerwear trends I am loving from Fall/Winter are the varsity jackets; sporty, the new peacoat; sporty chic and the macintosh; sharp and tailored.

More Asos...

LEATHER JACKETS...SPRING SKINS

I love a go-to piece that I can just throw on and it instantly charges my outfit from blah to bam! Or from too casual to slightly edgy. These jackets pack a fashion wallop, they're light enough for those spring/summer cool nights and cool enough to wear just about anywhere. Enjoy and Be Inspired!

Give a frilly dress an edge, add spice of those lighter hued shorts, and of course jeans and t-shirt need added dose of cool.

More Calvin Klein...

Here are a few jackets that won't put too much of a dent in your pockets

PASTELS, SHERBET & WATER COLORS

Soft and light, candy coated goodness, pops of color to delight the senses, you can sweeten up your look, just don't overdose on the sugary sweetness of these pretty little things, and water colors in aquatic hues from the ocean deep, have me daydreaming and lusting again...Enjoy and Be Inspired!

I simply love the color mint paired with everything from from soft peach to yellow, to pinks and lilacs.

The sky blue cloud pants aren't my really my thing but give me a frilly ball gown and I'm down to make a mad dash barefoot on the beach.

Ah yes...I have an obsession with water colors, whether it's art, accessories, fashion, or whatever, see those colors in that dress above, the turquoise color in that dress just pops out. I love the dreamy, cloudy hues, and the contract of dark and light colors...give me more!

BELL FLARE

My love of flare leg jeans and slight bell bottom flare jeans knows no boundaries, they are so boho and bad ass, and they give your butt a lift and accentuate the hips and elongate the legs. Enjoy and Be Inspired!

My inspiration is Jane Birkin in Paris 1974...

Très chic!
