Best Accessorized: By the Sea



The striped tee. It's an essential for your summer wardrobe as dubbed by all the major fashion mags and we have to agree! We always love the nautical look of the navy and white stripe tee, its a classic preppy must-have for anyone summering by the shore or in the city. Understated yet fashionable, relaxed yet put together, it's simply a great look.


One of our fav. striped tees of the season is this Saint James Meridien II tee. The classic brand has teamed up with J. Crew to sell some of their best pieces on J. Crew's websites/catalog and in select stores. We think its the perfect striped tee to wear with a variety of looks for the warmer months and below we breakdown four different ways to wear it no matter where you are headed!

Look 1: Blue and Gold

Pair your navy stripes with chic boyfriend cuffed blue jean shorts and accents of gold for a beachside brunch with your girls or popping around town on the weekends.


Look 2: Studs & Stripes

Give your nautical look a dressed up vibe making it suitable for the city. We like jazzing up the striped shirt with gray boyfriend blazer, white cuffed jeans and studded accessories.

Shoe Lust! Miu Miu Caged Platform Pumps


One of my favorite beauty editors was lusting over these Miu Miu shoes for Spring and I totally caught her obsession. The Miu Miu Caged Platform Pumps are available at SaksFifthAvenue.com and I am just thinking that I may have to pool all my gift cards and buy them for my upcoming trip to LA!

I'm going to LA for work in two weeks and am already trying to figure out what to pack. I am thinking these Miu Miu pumps may just pull all my outfits together. I HATE overpacking and having one pair of shoes to take me from a shoot to meetings to business dinners and drinks may be the trick to simplifying my life! The good news is I have the perfect new bone/blushy bag I got at a Marc Jacobs sample sale this fall that will go with these FABULOUSLY so I won't have to change bags.

I've put together three inspiration looks that should get my through my 2 1/2 days in La-La Land.

Look 1: Blazer and Rock-n-Roll Ripped Jeans
  • Free People Linen Long Seem Detailed Blazer, Bloomingdales.com
  • Joe's Jeans Chelsea Girl Skinny Jeans, ShopBop.com
Look 2: California Laid Back Mini Dress
  • Rory Becca Trapeze Dress, Shopbop.com
Look 3: Girly Chic Evening Look
  • Theory Stay Rosy Ruffle Tank Top
  • Hani Y Ruched Taffetta Skirt
What do you think - should I take the plunge and invest in my "perfect" pumps?? I'll keep you posted on if I do!

Fashionably Yours,
H
