The Pastel Trend. Like It? Or Lump It?

Reminds me of an Easter Egg Hunt,

a little "pretty" now and again. 
And there aint much prettier...than pastels.

Brunch with my Peeps

I recently had coffee with a friend and we realized that it was more than a year since we'd seen each other! She lives nearby, but busy lives unforgivably kept us apart.

This got me thinking....how many other girlfriends had I not cuaght up with? 
That night I sat down with my calendar and texted, emailed or facebooked several friends I hadn't seen face-to-face in TOO long.

After setting the date & planning the menu came the best part. 
What to wear... Sophisticated & sexy? Fun & funky? Floral & fantastic??? 
Which of these best says "Brunch" to you?

I bought the last one—the Grace Kelly.
Because...well, how could I not?

Set Sail with Nautical Dresses

Let me first say, I'm not a big fan of the nautical look.
It is a style that can go very wrong, very easily. 
I shudder to think leaving home resembling
 Mrs Howell or Muffy Regatta Queen of the Seas.

About $70US ModCloth's All for Nautical Dress


 When considering the nautical look, I say
 Be Ye Warned! 
There's a fine line between looking ship-shape 
and being made to walk the plank. 



Elwood Hardline Vintage Black & White Stripe Knit Dress, $90AU at Surf Stitch


I think this collection of dresses is dreamy. 
And although they might fit loosely into a nautical theme,
 my hope is that all of you Dressologists 
make the look your own


Milly Lace-up Cotton Blend from The Outnet on sale now

Throw overboard any notion of navy blazers with gold buttons, penny loafers and straw hats.
 Instead go full speed ahead with the unexpected


Secret Squirrel Lagoon Halter Dress at BirdMotel about $185AU

Combine with fitted leather jacket, leggings, bedazzled sky-high stilettos or chunky ankle boots
You get the picture! Think Anti-Sailor Sailor...


Sexy Printed Cotton Caftan, Victoria's Secret, $59US

Zing some bold personal style into it and 
you will avoid looking like a prop on Gilligan's Island and
instead will be ready for smooth sailing ahead.


Forever 21 Navy & Gray T-shirt Dress, $17US


Kate Sylvester Fredrica Dress at Fashion Artiste $142AU


Thankfully I'm well-and-truly out of 
horrible seafaring cliches...
Ahoy, Matey.
