For most outings during the warmer months, I love a matching linen-cotton combo set, but you can never go wrong in a t-shirt dress. Something as foundational & classic as this allows your style to shine with the careful consideration of accessories, such as a denim jacket & sneakers, a statement necklace & woven belt, or feathered earrings & espadrilles.
I love the colorblock options, but the solids in black, olive, & navy are likely going to join other must-haves in my cart! How would you style this dress? Which color is your favorite? What are your staple summer pieces? For more stylish posts, check out: pull-on pants in sizes XS-4XL, gauzy loungewear separates, & chic linen dresses for $20.00! Happy Styling!
The 90s are back with a stylish vengeance this season, including the slip dress trend! However, todays pick includes an inclusive slip dress in linen, perfect for an evening outing with metallic sides & a braided belt, the weekend with tennis shoes & a denim jacket, or poolside over a swimsuit.
I especially love the multicolor printed dress, as well as the stripes. If this was available in a maxi dress cut, I’d add them to my cart, for sure! I love sharing these with readers, especially since it’s an affordable find & available in a variety of sizes!
Recently, I’ve discovered some fashion flashback photos of my outfits, including a blazer over a dress or blouse with jeans—all decked out in heels, living my most affordable Devil Wears Prada life. However, I invested in blazers simply for the photo & hardly ever wear these days. Although, a denim blazer is a whole other topper than can be worn for a day in the office with trousers & a blouse or to dress up a t-shirt & midi skirt combination even more!
Actress Jennifer Garner has been a red carpet staple for years, but the consummate brunette’s infectious smile, classic updos or flowy locks, delicate jewelry, & shimmering makeup heighten her natural beauty. She’s appeared graceful & jubilant at countless premieres, awards shows, & special occasions, all while remaining true to her Old Hollywood aesthetic. For Jennifer’s 51st birthday, let’s look back at some of her best beauty & makeup moments on the red carpet!
Which look on Jennifer do you like best? Are you a fan of her movies? What hairstyle would you look to see her in next? For more stylish celebrity posts, check out: Sadie Sink, Allison Williams, Kristen Stewart, & Lily James! Happy Styling!
When it comes to style in the warmer months, while trendy pieces & bold accessories are essential for exploring your sensibilities, comfort is also key! It’s time to break out the linen, cotton, & chambray, along with any denim cut-offs, to pair with the season’s newest must-haves!
I love how pretty & classic this top is, juxtaposing the soft ruffles & peplum-inspired silhouette with seersucker stripes, which will pair perfectly with white jeans, linen shorts, dark wash denim capris, or gauzy wide leg pants!
My latest obsession is a crossbody bag. I’d been using the same one on weekends for a few weeks now, but then it went & broke on me right before a recent family getaway. While I do love using the silver croc-embossed version I recently posted about here, crossbody bags seem to be popping up everywhere!
While this is somewhat smaller than what I usually like to wear, I do love the neutral metallic hue that will look great with a casual look, such as a peasant top & denim cut-offs, or a date night ensemble, like a maxi dress & cardigan. Shoppers, look for this in your local Target stores to get the best deal, which you can see below, is available en masse near me.
Oscar-nominated actress Kristen Stewart is a chameleon when on screen, but over the course of her impressive career, she’s found her style staples, including deconstructed tuxedos, shorts & blazers, jumpsuits, & pants-coordinated looks. In honor of the Spencer actress’ 33rd birthday today, I’ve compiled a collection of images highlighting Kristen’s blend of gender-breaking rock & roll versus old Hollywood.
When it comes to running out & about, whether for fun or errands, a crossbody is my go-to. I’ve fallen into the habit of changing out my massive weekday tote to a smaller crossbody for weekends, especially when needing to be mobile with my little one. This newest crossbody is not only versatile for its removable strap, but also stylish for any spring occasion, including a family party, date night, or al fresco brunch with girlfriends.
One earring style that’s always on trend is a hoop, which has been reimagined in so many varieties & still remains classic. While hoops aren’t my go-to first choice of earring, I do love what I’m seeing with these new styles on sale now!
Which hoop is your favorite? Do you like to experiment with classic earrings? Do you prefer gold or silver tones? For more stylish posts, check out: twisted t-shirts, chambray peplum tops, & windowpane capris! Happy Styling!
The must-have markdown of the season is here! I love a pullover that can go from dressy to casual with the switch out of jeans & sneakers to faux leather leggings & a statement necklace. This is especially the case for a top with statement sleeves that’s worth it to have in every color!
Originally, I ordered the white because the item is referred to as a sweatshirt; however, this is a thin, stretchy pullover material & it was very sheer. Not wanting to layer, I’m returning it, but very much looking forward to the navy & magenta options. The price is just too good to be true & I wish my size was available in more colors. I guess that’s just how it goes with end of the season clearance items!
Now that spring has sprung & 2 local trips are planned between now & early June, it’s time I start looking ahead to summer—in style! While linen does wrinkle & require care when washing, it is a breathable, comfortable, & classic material for a dress. Even better, a flattering & inclusive dress that can be styled up or worn casually.
My favorite is the green, but I did recently get the green eyelet dress I posted about back in February, so I think the blue (navy) will be a formidable option. I do wish there was a thicker strap, but the puckering across the waist is so flattering.
I’m so guilty of—time & time again—succumbing to sparkle. If it’s on sale or a deep final sale discount, I’m shattered! I have no backbone! I want it! I want to style it! I want to write about it!
After all, isn’t every day a special occasion? Rarely a day goes by without wrist adornment & lately, I’ve been layering since there are so many gorgeous pieces that look even more spectacular when paired up with others. I have all 3 of the above & I already have then prepped for outfits this week! They sparkle in the light, have some quality weight to them, & are easy to adjust, so I recommend them for early Mother’s Day presents or just for yourself, if you’re into bling!
It’s taken me a while to hop aboard the puff sleeve trend train, but as these gorgeous spring styles are rolling into my ‘Gram (@styledarlingdaily), I can’t help but think about all of the styling options!
I’m nuts for the minty ‘agave’ top, especially with tropical linen shorts & neutral mules for vacation, windowpane trousers & block heels for work, a pleated midi skirt & ballet flats for a family party, or jeans & sneakers on the weekends.
Let’s all give it up for the one & only Sofia Vergara who got denim joggers right! The actress-turned-fashionista has nailed it when it comes to a combination of comfortable, stylish, & affordable pull- on jeans with a joggers twist. I can’t wait to wear them all the time, especially since I haven’t worn jeans since before my pregnancy in 2018 started to show!
At the recommendation of another blogger, I ordered these in the lightest Bel Air wash, only because the darker Oceana wash was sold out in my size; however, now that I’m in love with his comfortable & trendy these are, I’ve already ordered the Trinity wash before it’s too late!
Spring is the perfect time of year to lighten up those layers & play with patterns. One of my all-time favorites is polka dots, especially in a cardigan that tops off a blouse, jeans, plaid trousers, or a fit & flare dress.
I love a peplum, especially when running errands & in need of a lightweight, comfortable piece that doesn’t feel too constricting, which is why my warm weather wardrobe consists of just such pieces to coordinate with cropped pants & drop earrings, tropical shorts & sparkly slides, or jeans & a duster cardigan. However, I’m not always a fan of the distressed, worn look, but I’m willing to give it a try, knowing that some of these colors will style well with my past-season bottoms.
When getting cozy on chilly nights or preparing for next winter with amazing bargains on heavier items, like sweaters, I love a deal, as well as a multi-purpose item in gorgeous & neutral colors.
I never saw these in my local stores, but I’m crazy for this berry hue. Of course, the navy & gray are sleek options for joggers or faux leather leggings. I love the blend of casual with the cable-knit texture, which offers a unique top for any bottom.
Throughout the year, I like to have fun with my stud earrings, mixing up a quintet of studs in colorful, tasteful, & stylish ways since most days, I fill my 5 piercings in each ear with great variety. I love adding a fruit into the mix, but from time to time, an animal also appears, including birds! I’ve had my eye on these for some time now:
I love the orange-blue-green-white color combination, especially against the gold-tone. It’s a bright, playful addition to any look & adds a spring touch against a tunic sweater & leggings or midi dress & duster cardigan.
The ballet flat isn’t dead! Not when they look like this & they’re 30% off!
SHOP: ballet flats with bows in stripe, black white floral, blue floral, & beige black @Ardene (on sale: $10.43, available in sizes 6-11).
At such a great price & with so many fun & springy details, how can you not order all of them? I love the stripes for a classic tee & jeans look with layered necklaces of the blue floral with a cotton eyelet dress & cardigan. Not to mention the black floral will add some feminine flare to a midi dress. Also, the beige & black is perfect for a casual Friday in a cardigan set & windowpane pants.
I’m a sucker for a chic, slim crossbody bag that will help keep me light when on the go, but also adds to my outfit. Recently, Target has been my go-to for such great accessory finds at an affordable price.
This is a chic option for when my day includes not only a brunch or al fresco lunch plans, but heading out & about for a family occasion in a blouse & trousers, maxi dress & cardigan, or midi dress & drop earrings. Other varieties of this bag (minus the alligator embossed texture) include black, olive, green, & electric blue at varying price points.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Any day gives me an excuse to wear green, but today, especially, I’m excited to share a must-have polished sundress in green & white plaid for spring/summer that I can’t wait to try on myself, which is also available in black too!
The green option is lovely for Easter or other springtime festivities, while the black is a classic, feminine staple to dress up with platforms, wear with laid back slides, or be in casually with sneakers & a denim jacket.
I could spend hours upon hours just zoning out looking at jewelry store window displays, marveling at the beauty, craftsmanship, & sparkle of earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, brooches, & more. When the stars hit the red carpet, the wonder & excitement just amplifies, especially considering the legendary jewelry designers that are featured, along with elegant & dramatic gowns. I can’t help but think back to all of the mesmerizing emeralds that graced the red carpet in awards shows of the past, but I’m so glad there are more vibrant references to add! Here are some of my favorite jewelry moments from the red carpet:

Spring is in the air…somewhere! I can’t wait to get my feet into cute sandals again, paired with a maxi or midi dress or for stylish, but casual Friday at work on sunny spring mornings. We all know that flower embellishments & patterns are perfect for the season, which is why special floral details in our accessories is a fun way to play up any ensemble.
