Theory Tee Shirt: On sale for $39.90

The “blue jay” color of this Theory tee is perfect for the entire year round.  We hope it’s called the “Stay” tee because it does just that — stay perfectly in place, whether under a blazer or cardigan or paired with a patterned spring skirt.  Made to flatter every curve, the fabrics Theory uses are durable to retain shape, and soft to the touch…not to mention this is machine wash!  What a nice $39.90 gift to yourself (or Mother’s Day present)!

Five Fab Accessories Every Lady Should Own!

Perhaps you are on accessory overload, or maybe you’re having trouble nailing down the basics. Whatever the dilemma may be, Alana from Sassy Fashionista is here to simplify things and show us the five fabulous accessories that every woman should own. Visit her blog for more beauty and fashion insight – think of it as your style blog with sass!

With so many trends floating around, it’s easy to find yourself purchasing heaps of accessories that you don’t need, and will never end up wearing — like that neon pink sequined tote that looked oh so fab in the store. But trends come and go. No one wants to be stuck with a pile of accessories that are “so last season” and end up having nothing to wear without looking très passé . There are a few basics that all ladies should have—and the best part is, they never go out of style.

Pearls: They go with every single outfit you could possibly dream up, and have the power toke any outfit look classy.

A pair of diamond (or faux diamond) studs: These can dress up any outfit and just so happen to look great on everyone. I even go as far as having “emergency” studs in my office and handbag at all times in case I have a style crisis.

A big bright scarf: Scarves can add a pop of color instantly. You can wear them around your neck, or tie them onto your handbag to for a unique touch (which I’m a huge fan of doing). Try to find one that is lightweight so you can wear it year-round.

A structured bag: In a medium size, a sturdy bag will be your best friend. Basic black will do, but I personally go for colors like plum, bronze or teal. Though the colors may sound a bit scary, you’ll be surprised at how much use you can get out of a plum-hued bag, and how many outfits it can actually compliment.

Big sunglasses: Not only do they help block out the sun, they help you beat the aging game. One of the top reasons for wrinkles around the eye is from squinting. So wearing sunglasses can definitely help with that. Plus they just look super chic. Think Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s when picking out a pair.

Once you have these fab basics, you’ll be ready for anything that comes your way.

Deal of the Day: J Brand Suffragette Lace-Up Skinnies

We admit it – we have a bit of a crush on J Brand. It’s a go-to in our quest for comfy, flattering and modern styles. The lace-up waist gives these black skinnies a little edge, and a pair of great black pants (or two or three) is a must in any wardrobe.

It also doesn’t hurt that they’re 50% off. A great deal – and just think about the cost per wear!

Spring Street Style

midtown_girl_logoPeople watching is always a grand activity and way to figure out what’s currently in style, as well as get inspired. Amy from Midtown Girl is here to talk about the street style she has spotted for the spring, and give you ideas of what you might want to include in your spring wardrobe. Be sure to check out her lifestyle editorial blog focused on dating, pop culture, fashion & style and New York City living.

The Spring season is in full bloom when it comes to street style looks – and I mean literally! Strong floral patterns are definitely a huge trend this Spring, worn in a variety of patterns and showcased in various statement pieces of an outfit. So pick one floral piece as your Spring statement for the day and be ready to use the city streets as your own personal runway!

Also seen in Spring street  style trends are the pairing of  ’opposites’ within an outfit.  The pairing of ‘opposites’ consists of mixing & matching fabrics of different weights & textures. So even if you decide to wear just one color (like black, in the street style pic below), it makes for a fabulous way to keep your Spring outfits looking fresh, fashion-forward and garner that coveted street style status.

What kind of shoes are fashionistas wearing for Spring? They have been spotted on the streets wearing wedges in bold colors, adding just the right touch of ‘zhuzh‘ to their outfits. Especially in NYC, a bright cheery wedge will lift & refresh an all black outfit into the current season.

In addition to wedges, gladiator flats have made their presence on the streets as well – here in gold leather – for that perfect pop of color & touch of glamour!

One of the most traditional looks for Spring include the classic & wardrobe staple – the trench coat. The trench is the perfect layering piece for Spring, as it can be worn short or long, sleeves rolled up or left down, collar popped or not. A trench is one piece that every fabulush girl should have in their street style wardrobe – it is the key to instant-chic!

Spring is all about color, combinations and an explosion of florals, so have fun with your street style looks – get dressed, get out, get noticed!
