Style Mondays: Dark Summer

Pretty Connected Style Mondays Buddah Girl Jewelry styled by Tiffany Pinero

Going back to black is a perfect curve ball to throw at your summer wardrobe (especially as we start to transition to fall). While brights and vibrant prints are always a staple for the season, there is an overwhelming presence of cool associated with a dark and daring ensemble. A maxi dress you’ve worn dozens of times over can be transformed with a different shoe choice and some bold accessories. I recently discovered BuDhaGirl, their wrap bracelets and necklace (even wore backwards) complete the look. Unleash your inner

Style Mondays: Tracked out

Cut off short style Lara Pretty Connected styled by Tiffany Pinero

Athletic jackets inspired us on the runways and now are the must have item for summer nights. This neutral piece with yellow highlights by d.brand, adds a touch of cool to everything. Lucky you, d.brand is running a 20% off special (use code “db20” at checkout) — also check out their denim! Don’t be afraid to experiment with colored accents, and mixing styles (track jackets with heels, dress shirts with cut off shorts); just strike the right balance to keep it fresh and modern and not tragically out of place! Speaking of modern, don’t you think a leather cap adds a little extra something to a look too? Keep scrolling for some sporty summer style with an edge.

Style Mondays: Bold + Basic

Lara Eurdolian

I spent the weekend in the Hamptons with StyleCaster at their glorious summer haven (pictures and full recap coming soon!). On Saturday night, Parker New York and HauteLook hosted a dinner and let me play dress up. As one to never pass up a great basic top (it’s a style staple!), I immediately fell in love with this Parker tank that features a partially open back white striped cut-out. The detail makes it more summery and give it a little somethin-somethin. Plus if it’s too risque for the office, just add a jacket over it and then peel it off for after work drinks. The girls from HauteLook introduced me to two new jewelry designers, t+j Designs, and Jami Rodriguez. t+j did the fabulous necklace I’m wearing and make great, affordable statement pieces, while Jami Rodriguez does a lot with chains and charms (two things I’m very into). Both designers will be available on HauteLook so be sure to sign up for their newsletter and stay tuned for their upcoming sales!

Two summer staples: cut off jeans and Keds! After going through my millionth pair of canvas white Keds (I don’t think I’ve ever been without a pair since I was a teenager), this is the first season I’ve opted for a leather edition. And I love them! It’s the Ked’s Corsa Leather style ($50) in white and they are so comfortable and easy to style! I’ve also been on the hunt for the perfect boyfriend jeans in pants and short. So far these pair of Koral’s Los Angeles Boyfriend Shorts ($195) are the best I’ve found (still on the hunt for a pant style).  They are the ultimate in effortless (and versatile) summer fashion! Plus the messiness of the shorts helps compliment the I-have-no-time-to-deal-with-my-hair look, I will be regularly sporting in this heat wave.

Style Mondays: Biker Babe or Skater Chick?

Lara Eurdolian, Rag and Bone

True, rising temperatures don’t always seem to be the ideal situation for a little bit of leather. Sometimes though, in the midst of needing a popsicle and maxi dresses galore,  we get a gem of a day and you can sport this bad to the bone texture. A pair of slick shorts can add some street to the simplest of outfits and lets  be real it doesn’t hurt when it comes from Rag & Bone either.

PC Featured on Heaven Has Heels!

Heaven Has Heels, Lara Eurdolian

This week I was featured on Heaven Has Heels as part of an editor’s “We never leave home without…” series. My answer, sunglasses! Or to be exact, “Sunnies. I pack at least two or three pairs.” (And for the record when I was asked the question it was in reference to traveling… I don’t actually carry three pairs of sunglasses in my purse.)

Hot for Summer: Lace Shorts

JMclaughlin Crochet Lace Shorts

Summer in all its hot and steamy glory is the perfect opportunity for something light and frothy. I’m not speaking gourmet latte’s here, think more along the lines of color with a twist of texture. Need a visual?

Enter J. McLaughlin Easton Lace Short. From the moment I spotted these beauties a their preview they’ve been on my wish list!. Lace has been a huge trend this season and an easy way to create interest in the simplest of looks, while channeling an understated romance. You can pair them with your favorite white tee and grecian sandals or a sleek pair of wedges and a tailored blazer for a night out. Dress them up or down the only issue you will have is giving them a rest.
