Fresh Picks to Follow – Chambray Styles

One of the major trends from this past spring and this summer is the chambray shirt. This light blue cotton fabric is an instant classic that every fashionista should have in their closet. I’m not sure why I haven’t bought a chambray shirt before, but it’s definitely on my list of things to add to my closet. You can find these shirts in various styles, thinner fabric and tailored designs. These days, chambray is not only used for shirts, but it can be found on more structured designs like pants, pleated shorts and dresses. Individual chambray pieces are also very versatile. You can wear a chambray shirt to work with a pair of trousers or throw it over a sundress for a weekend outing. Chambray also works perfectly with metallic fabrics, sequins, bright colors and of course any neutrals. For this week’s Fresh Pick to Follow, here are my top 10 chambray pieces to make your wardrobe pop. How do you style your chambray? Let me know!

Moody Style: Baby, You’re a Firework!

I hope that you all had a safe and Happy 4^th of July yesterday. I had a pretty spectacular day with some very special friends. My day started off with a 5k race at 7:30 in the morning – I’ll post a race recap later in another post. After a quick breakfast, I headed to the mall for a quick visit to Anthropologie. I couldn’t miss out checking out the extra 25% off sale. I plan to post my shopping bag of some of the goodies that I found. Later in the afternoon, I went to a barbeque for a few hours and I ate a ton of food. In the evening, I planned to attend a pool party to get a little sun, swim and then watch the fireworks. Unfortunately, it started pouring rain around 6:00pm and it continued after 9:00pm. So needless to say, I didn’t get to swim, but the rain stopped just in time for a beautiful firework show. How did you spend your 4^th of July? Let me know!

Fresh Picks to Follow – Stars and Stripes

When I was younger, I remember every year when my family and I gathered together to celebrate the 4^th of July. We watched local parades, caught some rays at the beach or at a pool, ate delicious barbeque and watched dazzling fireworks at a park or downtown by a river. As I get older, I always go back to my childhood memories. These days, I’m lucky if I get to a barbeque or the beach. And I haven’t been to a parade in several years. How are you all spending your 4^th of July holiday this year? I don’t have any plans yet, but I’ll be sure to let you know. In any event, whatever you decide to do, you’ll want your outfit to be the perfect blend of style, stars and stripes. If you can’t think of anything to wear, you can’t go wrong with anything red, white or blue or anything with the American flag on it. I’ve also pulled together a list of 4^th of July inspired clothing and accessories that will make you feel proud to be an American. For this week’s Fresh Pick to Follow, here are my top 10 red, white and blue pieces that you can wear to express your pride and patriotism. What do you guys think about all of these red, white and blue styles? Let me know!
