Suspenders the KK and GG Way

When you think of suspenders, you probably envision a clip on accessory for a men’s suit. Insert a fashionista into the picture, and this is what you get…a pair of green suspender shorts, an ivory turtleneck, and a pair of gladiator wedge sandals.     While on a weekend trip to the Cleveland Metro Area, my hubby and I stopped by Chagrin Water Falls, aka Small Town USA, for some quality time. This quaint little square is full of eclectic shops, charming restaurants, and most importantly, waterfalls. Along with a trip to “Pleasantville” comes a fab outfit. The Suspend My Time Olive Green Suspender Shorts from lulu*s were the perfect option. Made out of lightweight fabric, these short-shorts will help you beat the heat and look good while doing it. To balance out the low cut neckline, I paired these suspender shorts with an ivory sleeveless turtleneck (also from lulu*s) and dressed it up with a chunky statement necklace. I polished off the look with my favorite lace-up gladiator wedges and a black and white plaid clutch purse.     If exploring the suburbs of Cleveland is in your future plans, add an afternoon at Chagrin Water Falls to your to-do […]

My Bear Dance Tank

Graphic tees are the “it thing” and they’re being worn all different ways. You probably used to think a t-shirt had to be paired with casual bottoms and flip flops, but the truth is, they’re suitable for way more than that. Tuck one into a skirt, throw one on with embellished jeans, or style one with a cape. You name it – it works. But for the warmer summer months, go for a graphic tank top instead!     Leave it to Current Clothing to introduce me to yet another wonderful brand, Bear Dance. This line of graphic tank tops is truly unique and appealing to many different tastes. When I came across the whale tail top, I was immediately in love. The metallic print dresses it up just a tad, and the fit is amazing. Nothing frumpy about this pretty little thing! Since dressy is always better in my book, I paired this tank with black distressed jeans and black strappy sandals (although in between shooting I rocked a pair of leather flip flops). I accessorized this outfit with dramatic off-white tassel earrings, my go-to off-white clutch and a black cape. It is amazing to me how the addition of […]

Sea Urchin for You maxi dress

I know I said a couple of months ago that the yellow and white pineapple kimono was the last of my Lilly Pulitzer for Target finds, but it would be a sin for me not to showcase this gorgeous blue and white dress while on vacation in Cabo San Lucas. So here it is, for real this time, the last item in my Lilly for Target collection, the Sea Urchin for You maxi dress.   This beaut is elegant enough that is it is suitable for many occasions. You could easily pair it with some dainty high heels for a cocktail evening on the town or pair it with some white or gold flats for a casual yet very fashionable happy hour. Whenever I rock a maxi dress though, I go straight for the heels (surprise surprise). But when you’re only five feet tall, a maxi dress has a swallowing effect unless you give yourself a boost! #shortpeopleproblems     I chose this dress for a romantic dinner overlooking the ocean. There’s no better time to wear a dress covered in sea urchins, sand dollars, and sea stars than when you’re on a beach trip. To avoid the potato sack look, […]
