March Styling Inspiration: Lounge Ready Feminine Looks

Soft feminine layers are perfect for easing into Spring- keeping you warm, while transitioning into dresses and skirts, this month's styling inspiration is filled with neutral layers, simple feminine pieces and accessories that create easy romantic looks that are lounge ready...Watercolor ruffled dress with a neutral boyfriend cardigan -pair with flats for an easy romantic look -Anthropologie December Catalog

Shades of blue make a polished but laid back look for spring -J.Crew February Catalog

Floral top made even more romantic with a rich blush tone cardi- Fossil's Spring line..also love the nail polish.

Lovely lace from Fossil's Spring line

This lace vest from H&M's Spring line adds such a romantic free-spirit dimension to skirts or jeans- love it.

Whispy cotton candy-like volume is perfect for Spring -its so very pretty but also nap ready.. ;)

- Elisa Sednaoui for Elle Italia February 2011

Pop of color with neutrals and great accessories makes this look polished but easy and approachable- J.Crew February catalog 

I love this cardigan- the drape and the gathered sleeves. Goes perfectly with this dress- again various shades of the same color- paired with great accessories.

Blanco Early Spring Campaign Alejandra Alonso by David Dunan

..never underestimate the power of a great blouse with rolled sleeves..

I love early spring looks that you could wear to the office, lunch or a date but just as easily lounge around (or even take a nap) in on a chilly early spring day. Have a lovely day everyone!

Fall Olive Shimmer: The Marriage of Military and Sequin

Don't you just love it when your favorite things come together?

Military is back as a huge fall trend -these olive and khaki hues make all women who wear them look urban chic and ruggedly-feminine. But why stop there? Adding sequin, gold shimmer and shine takes this look from military-issue to khaki bombshell, in a look I like to call olive shimmer.

Jeep and Aviators are optional but highly recommended ;-)

(que Johnny Cash Jeep Commercial Music)

This look is so intriguing because of the combination of very masculine (military /aviators) and very feminine (sequin, gold) pieces. The result is a sultry head turning look.

Layer your shimmery pieces with olive & khaki, pair with aviators, or rugged ankle boots.

Tory Burch Panzi Sequined Dress

Accessorize your military pieces with feminine jewelry like a multi-strand gold /or statement necklace, or a sequin skirt.
