2012/2013 Trend Recap Pt. 5 || The Oversized Clutch

I dont know why, but a beautiful oversized, fold over clutch makes me weak in the knees. Weird, right? I love the femininity and practicality this accessory adds to an outfit. It really holds it's own and doesn't get lost in the beauty of the rest of the look. Surprisingly, this is not a trend I have taken part in - yet. I just haven't found that perfect clutch at the perfect price. I did once, actually, and I'm still kicking myself for letting it go. The whole time I sat there staring at it all I could think about was how clumsy and forgetful I can be and the very last thing I want to do is set the purse down somewhere & forget it there. I pretty much need it to be attached to me somehow. Maybe velcro? hehe - Just kidding!

Here are some of my favorite ways I've seen the oversized clutch styled...

Are you a fan of the oversized clutch?

How do you style yours?

Quiet.

I think my lack of outfit posts lately deserves an explanation.

First up - the 30 x 30 challenge I was participating in. 

I dropped out.

Bummer - I know!

That decision came after shrinking one of my tops, getting bleach all over another, and accidentally ripping one of the 3 pairs of jeans I had chosen. All of the girls graciously told me I could simply swap out the items and no one would mind and a huge part of me wanted to. The other part of me had already put all of my 30 items back into my closet and closed the door on that challenge. So I hung my head and backed out. I'm honestly kinda disappointed in myself. 

The other reason for my lack of activity here is because I've been really trying to focus all of my blogging energy over on my other blog - Those Four Words. I may have mentioned it a time or two....hehe. Those Four Words is actually my proposal & wedding planning company I started a couple of years ago and business is really picking up. I feel like my energies really need to be on my work and on filling our blog with quality content - something I've really slacked at.

I actually have a few posts scheduled here - my usual recurring posts - for the remainder of May. I have a few outfit posts scheduled for June as well. That should give me a little bit of time to get things going in the right direction on my other blog and then I'll be back here whipping things back into shape.

In the meantime - hop on over to Those Four Words. If we can hit 50 followers on Bloglovin' we'll be hosting a giveaway and there miiiiiiiight just be a discount code in the near future that could really benefit any of you lovely ladies getting married soon! *hint hint*

Fringe is pretty much a summer staple for me and if you can't tell - I'm a fan of just about anything those Olsen twin's do/wear!

2012/2013 Trend Recap Pt. 4 || Camoflauge

The camoflauge trend might be one of my absolute favorites to date and I'm crossing fingers & toes that it sticks around for a while ever! I love the contrast it adds to an otherwise feminine look. My personal favorite way to style camoflauge is by pairing a camo. printed tee with a skirt or feminine pants and statement jewelry. It also looks fab. when mixed with leopard print! I love the versatility and endless options when it comes to picking out your favorite camo. printed item!

Funny story about this trend, actually. I have a camo. tee that I found in the mens section at Target and I absolutely fell in love. It's simple yet makes a total statement and I had to have it. When I got home I very excitedly showed my boyfriend. He was jealous and immediately went out and got himself the same tee! Now we have to check in with each other to make sure we don't both wear it at the same time!

Here are my favorite camo. styled looks....

It's Friday!! You know what that means - time to share what has been inspiring me on Pinterest this week!

You know....next to blogging, Pinterest is the next biggest source of inspiration for me! I absolutely love the mobile ap. for it, too! It's so nice when waiting for a meeting or an appointment to just mindlessly scroll through thousands of beautifully styled outfits, home decor and DIY projects - my three faves!

This week, this is what has been Pinspiring me!

If it isn't obvious, mini-skirts, floral prints, maxi dresses & head-to-toe monochromatic looks have been catching my eye this week! I'm just dying to find the perfect floral skirt and maxi! Ideally, I'd like to find a leopard print maxi so it'd be more versatile when transitioning from Spring, to Summer, to Fall!
