Minimalism

I've never been one for minimalism, except recently. Maybe it's that I'm really accepting and celebrating my pregnant frame - to be honest, I like showing off my bump!

Two Ways to Wear...

...lace shorts!

For day, pair them with a knotted blouse, beads, and flat sandals. Remember that one way to wear the chic and clean look of all white, all year round is to mix tones and textures.

For night, mix them with a lace tee, which adds more drama than a plain one and add some structure with a sleeveless blazer. Remember the night calls for accessories so layer up the bracelets and throw on your favorite statement necklace!

Nothing Like The Lion King

If you live in or around Chicago and haven't seen "The Book of Mormon," please, please, please do so. It's incredibly heart warming and not at all anti-religion. Don't believe me? Read this review.

Going Global

The Lucky Community started a contest entitled "Show Us Your Lucky" where the members (all fabulous fashion bloggers) interpret looks from this month's Lucky magazine. The story "Wear a Little...Wear a Lot" featured global and lace as two of the trends to try. For the global look, I piled on patterns and textures with brown as the uniting tone. Tomorrow, I'll rock head to toe lace, so come on back!
