Style Watch: Crazy for Cork.

Crazy for Cork.

Cork has been a staple this season for designers such as Kate Spade, Tory Burch, and C.Wonder. Every where you look, you can find a cute cork piece that will act as a neutral to your every day summer look. Cork as a material is extremely versatile, you can easily dress it up with fancy gold jewelry or shoes. I LOVE cork for the summer especially the Kate Spade Keds!

Black & White Beach.

Black & White Beach.

Stripes & polka dots are my go to patterns from the summer. Dress them up or "cas" them down, they add a bit of prep to any look you are going for. When styling polka dots and stripes I prefer to stick with neutrals in the print such as black & white, navy & white, red & white, etc.. However when working with a plain color scheme for the patterns I love to add a splash of color to the outfit in the form of a small accessory or accent piece. In this look i love the bright red handles of the tote to offset the neutral black and cream. A little bit of color can really change the hole look to any outfit, making it more exciting and fun.

Here's my take on mixing polka dots & stripes for a fun day at beach.

Fab Finds: Pottery Barn Wallets

Pottery Barn Wallets

Pottery Barn is usually know for the fabulous (and personalized) home decor. Recently when stumbling upon Pottery Barn Teen's website I discovered adorable wallets & coin patches that were on sale! I absolutely love these colors and the fact they they can mix and match are great (not to mention that they can be monogrammed!). I think that these a perfect summer wallets & great graduation gifts.

Since these items are on sale they may be little stock, so get them before they are gone!
