How to style on the go!

It seems like we are ALWAYS on the go. Whether commuting to school or work or taking off on a  vacation.  It can be a serious challenge to create outfits that work for not only catching that cab but also look professional behind a desk. Or even more seriously from airplane seat to airport pickup.

Shorts:

When you need to pull together a professional look but you've got to catch the subway.... and then walk to work.. or catch a bus... skirts and dress can be a downer especially in gusty weather. These shorts give us the confidence to move fast without the flash and works great everywhere else. 

Grown Up Rain Gear:

       

Rain is great for plants but not your fave pair of heels! That's why the must have for every closet is a good pair ofrainboots. We take it a step further with these fashion savvy boots that your gonna want to rock even on a dry day!  Worried about your purse getting splashed? Ditch the DIT plastic bag cover and go with the jelly purse to protect your electronics and spare your fave purse!

Sneakers:

Presenting the no duh way to commute when we are on our feet all day! These sneakers not only feel comfortable, they are totally on point with this seasons normcore trend. 

Leggings:

Leggings are amazingly comfortable option on a long journey and are even better when you need to look put together upon arrival. Perfectly paired under a sophisticated knit top, they will make getting through security or sitting in the back seat just a little more comfortable

Stretch Knit Dresses:

Serious comfort ahead! Dresses constructed out of stretch knit material are sooo comfortable and so perfect for when you are on the go. It's hard not to look polished in one of these dresses when you pair them with a statement necklace and heels. Bonus points- they won't wrinkle! 

Here are a couple of "on the go outfits" we styled. Take a look:

This outfit is for the girl on the go to the office! We styled these comfy quilted leggings with a chic houndstooth top. The chic quilted bag will perfectly play up the leggings. Accessorize with a soft scarf and classic pumps. Don't forget a great watch to keep you on time! 

This outfit was inspired by way out west and to be way comfortable for the girl on the go! The stretch knit dress is optimal for catching that bus when paired with a great pair of booties. A cross-body bag will stay on steady on your shoulder. You are never really dressed without a smile and a great accessory like this necklace!

Get going in this totally comfortable work frendly outfit. Don't stress about missing that morning meeting. Layer on this sweater and knit skirt with some slip ons. Throw on your favorite shoulder strap bag and you will be out the door in no time!

Manicure Monday: Trends inspired by your mani!

Unsure of what trends to try? Need some insight on your style? Look no further than the tips of your fingers! Here is some style inspiration based on your current/favorite manicure.

If your always painting your nails neutral/natural colors:

You like to keep things simple and classic. Your fave prints are the ones everybody knows- polka dots, stripes and why not, they look good on everyone! A classic is never out of style. Mix it up by trying these prints on unexpected pieces like denim. Or go crazy and mix'em up. Even good girls can have an edge; pick a classic item with twist- like this quilted purse covered in chains!  Gravitate to lace;  it adds interest to any outfit and is just as sweet as you are. Try out these styles!

If your nails are cool hues or dark shades:

You are completely in touch with your creative side and you aren't afraid to express it through your clothing! You are willing to go for the more daring trends. That's why we think you should embracing these bewitching pieces. Pick unique and mysterious accessories like moon pendants and natural stone necklaces. Heeled booties and fringe details are other ways to unleash your inner artist. Denim is your current fave fabric whether in distressed over sized boyfriends or chambray dresses and shirts. Go ahead, express yourself!

If love bright bold colored manicures:

You love the spotlight! You aren't one to shy away so here are our picks for some dramatic fall fashion. Even as summer ends, the brights go on! Steal the spotlight in color-blocked ensembles. Accessorize up with statement necklaces in the boldest and brightest colors. Contrast your brights with futuristic and sporty materials-mesh, neoprene and lucite. Most of all just have fun!
