Minty

This gorgeous mint green shrug by For You Designs would be a perfect topper to a white tee and jeans or to throw on with a strapless dress.  And that color is to die for!!  (but also available in lots of other colors!)  Only $55.

Geometric

These gorgeous silk dresses by Italian designer Nivule are stunning.  Geometric in form and vintage in inspiration...the textiles and colors are elegant and subtle.  Each piece is handmade in Italy and the silk is prewashed for an ultra soft look and feel.  Most items are under $200!  Stunning!  See more designs HERE.

Strappy Sandals

It's not too soon to start thinking about sundresses and strappy sandals!  I am trying to plan a spring break trip with my kids and have started browsing strappy sandals on Macy's.  They are quickly becoming my "go to" place lately for shoes and their selection of sandals is pretty amazing.  Hundreds of styles to choose from in every height you could imagine...flat, flip flops, wedges, platforms, strappys, and slides.  Hundreds of colors too...but I especially love the colorful ones, like the ones pictured here, because you can wear them with any neutral outfit to add a touch of whimsy!  The wedges (upper left) and the croc wedges (bottom right) would be my every day sandals, easy to wear while running around town with my kids but still be fashionable.  The other two are clearly a bit more daring, but with their high heels, and bold, bright prints, would make any outfit overtly flirty and fun for a date night!   Check out more styles HERE.

Violet

This eco-friendly sweater jacket by Malowane Inem is handcrafted from linen and dyed to this gorgeous violet color.  Long and so comfy looking...this could easily be dressed up, but I would wear this as an every day wrap with jeans!  LOVE!  Only 88!!

Petals

I love this dress by Leanne Marshall (of Project Runway fame!) The bottom looks like a flower or a cupcake!  Perfect for a special occasion or an informal wedding.  The bodice and the skirt are made of organic cotton and the skirt has been covered with recycled fabric (silk and organic cotton) petals.  Just gorgeous.  Not cheap at $625, but a girl can dream.  (I am lucky that I was able to buy some of her dresses years ago...before she got famous!)

Riding High

I just got these awesome Patriot boots from Franco Sarto at Macy's.  Not only are they super comfortable, they look pretty much amazing with everything I wear.  And...I am normally a high heel girl...so the fact that I am obsessing about these is pretty rare!  I got this light natural color, but they are also available in a chocolate brown...I might have to get that pair too....A girl can never have too many boots right?  (especially in Cleveland!!)  Check out this pic and this one of how I have been wearing mine!

Caped Crusader

Capes are such a cool alternative to a traditional coat.  This gorgeous one by Sophia Clothing is made from purple cashmere, fully lined, and has a funky military vibe to it.  A true statement piece for only $120!! 

Caged Up

With Valentines Day coming up soon...it is time to start thinking about lingerie! This glamorous and seductive Cage bodysuit by Sabrina Chin is gorgeous. Made from sheer mesh panels and soft jersey knit it is designed to create a caged effect which conceals just the right amount of skin. This would look amazing under a sheer shirt too! $179

Ice Princess

These knitted leggings by QooQoo Fashions are amazing...how awesome under a fancy coat as seen here, or with a simple tunic to spruce up an outfit! A little pricey at $60 but completely unique and so cool. (check out all the other amazing limited edition clothing while you are there...all made locally and with their own printed fabrics!)

Hoodie

I LOVE hoodies...and especially when they are as cute as they are comfortable.  This fantastic bright pink hemp and organic hooded sweater by Indigo Inspired looks amazingly soft and is available in 8 hand dyed colors!  Only $98!

Candy

I love brown and pink together, so this cute top by Irish designer Janey is right up my alley!  Super soft brushed model jersey in a brownish-nude is paired with delicate and feminine candy pink organza.  I especially love the super cute gathered cap sleeves.  Very versatile...would look great with jeans and khakis and great dressed up with nice slacks or a skirt!  Only $45.

Spotted!

The A-line shape of this gorgeous dress makes it figure flattering on almost any shape! And, the wide neck and iridescent fabric, in the most amazing green silk with teal embroidered spots, make it perfect for the woman who wants to walk into a party and instantly stand out.  Handcrafted by Scottish designer 13 Threads and available for only $235!!

Arctic Chill

Oh...I love this french terry hooded sweater jacket by Marsilia21.  The sky blue color is fantastic...springy and gorgeous...perfect with my eyes!  Would look fantastic with jeans, dressy slacks (as shown here!), or a throw over for a summer dress!  Plus, its only $98.  Available in 5 other colors too!  Check out the entire collection HERE.

Swing Time

The Flying Snail has always been one of my favorite shops on Etsy...I have a bunch of their handknit cowls and wraps (see here).  But, I am lusting after this gorgeous Swing Party Dress made out of the most gorgeous purple yarn.  So pretty over jeans or over a slip dress for a fun night out!  A splurge at $195...but truly a one of a kind masterpiece....

Hoot Hoot

My nickname as a kid was the Owl and I have still always liked owl things.  But, this amazing gown by New York Couture takes the cake.  The colors, the whimsy, the corset top!!  Fantastical!  I don't have any place to wear it...but oh do I wish I did....how fun to walk in and know that you are the center of attention...just by the fabulous gown!  Check out more designs HERE.

Garden Party

I love these Garden tanks by Rollick....pretty and feminine, they are perfect for the warmer weather coming up!  They would look amazing with jeans and khakis, and so garden-party-ready when paired with a summery skirt.  Only $58!!

Look What I Got!

Okay...so I don't look like one of the Olsen twins...but I have always wanted a pair of Hunter boots...I just think they are so cool looking!  I just got a pair in black...and I love them!  Super comfortable and flat, they are perfect for the rain and snow, which we get a lot of in Cleveland.  Available in a ton of cool vibrant colors, each is made in Scotland by hand!  Worn by royalty, celebs and farmers...how cool is that! 

Skinny Minny

Okay...so I swore I would never get a skinny jean...but I have been trying to fit my boot leg jeans inside my knee high boots, and they just didn't look right.  So, I broke down and bought a pair of denim leggings by Jolt.  They are called the "Pick me Up" and are supposed to give your butt a lift.  They are also called leggings, but I swear you would never know that they weren't jeans.  They look JUST like jeans, only as comfortable as leggings!  No zipper, just one button...they just pull on.  Plus, they are so to move around in.  I will NEVER wear them with flats (I just can't work that look), but with high boots they are fantastic.  And, I swear to God...every time I have worn them...everyone tells me how skinny I look.  So...that alone has been worth the price of them.  Which, incidentally, was only $39!  Available in indigo, black (I got this color!) and dark gray.

These 3/4 Thai fisherman pants by Thai Green Life are perfect now that the weather is starting to warm up.  Made from 100% cotton, they are perfect for yoga, the beach, or just running around.  The pretty patchwork waistbands or leg panel make them funky and whimsical.  Fully adjustable to fit any height and size by folding the pants around your waist and securing them with the attached ties.  Only $11...and available in a rainbow of colors!!  Check out more HERE.
