Wanting/Wishing/Wearing: Accessories - Big, Bold and Bright for Summer

Big bold jewelry on the runway

(Click to Enlarge)

If someone handed me a petite, tiny and ladylike pair of diamond studs or the biggest, boldest and flashiest chandelier earrings...I'd go with the latter, every-time. I love big and bold. I love bright and statement making. I'm pumped to see the Spring, Fall and Resort Runways chock full of statement making jewels. They scream, 'the bigger the better!' And that, my dear readers, is my summer motto! (Not in pants size, but in earring diameter, for sure!) Some speedy-savvy-stylin' below with everything coming in under $150 to get your online shopping fingers click, click, clickin' away. Think of it as a quick way to spruce up last year's tunic or a great addition to that hot LBD lying dormant in your closet. Enjoy!

Wardrobe Essential: Perfect Summer Sandal - Splurge or Steal?

Celebs in great summer sandals

(Click to Enlarge)

This is the exact question I ask myself every year...because in my mind, summer perfection starts with a perfect sandal. The sandal you can wear with jeans and T or dress up with the perfect cocktail dress. The perfect summer sandal is a year-round search for extreme comfort but also not forgoing style. I'm a girl that doesn't like to break the bank on purchases, but for those of you who are willing to spend BIG on this wardrobe essential, I've provided some splurgin'-savvy-stylin' below. All sandals are coming in at $250 or more. If you purchase, be sure to take a pic in your new kicks and tag RWD in the photo on Facebook. Might just see your sweet ensemble on RWD. 

If your more budget minded like me, I've also provided some speedy-savvy-stylin' that rings in under $50. So many adorable looks in this category too...but make sure to breeze through both sections. I found Eva Longoria's adorable Dolce & Gabbana rope and leather sandals featured above. They're yours for $441. I also found some gladiators similar to Cameron Diaz's pair for under $50. A few of my fave steals? The Ralph Lauren Sport Thongs in Polo Tan (love it) for $48.95 and the uber-wearable Teva Anna for $49.99...they will both be joining my shoe collection soon. Enjoy!

Wardrobe Essential: Screen Printed T-Shirt Dress for Summer à la Liv Tyler, Stella McCartney, Emily Deschanel and Emilio Pucci

Screen printed t shirt dresses on celebs and runway
(Click to Enlarge)

T-shirt ANYTHING is fabulous for summer time. Breathable cotton is perfect for those scorching months and thankfully t-shirts are now a go to item for dressing up and dressing down...I love it! I have way too many t-shirts to count, both printed and solid colored. Always on the lookout for a new version, I'm adoring the flock of printed T-shirt dresses that have popped up on my fashion radar recently. Make a statement without staying anything...and add minimal accessories and skedaddle out of the house looking fashionable and put together.  

I have a few solid colored t-shirt dresses and...I love them. It's time to add a printed version and my speedy-savvy-stylin' has me eyeing the Lauren Moshi Happy Face version. I'd most likely wear it over my white skinnies similar to the look Emily Deschanel is donning above. I also love how the other three looks are mini versions and the gams are the statement maker. Either way you sport your version...make sure to add this into your summer rotation pronto. Enjoy!

Collection Covet: Sassy Separates Satisfy at 3.1 Phillip Lim's 2010 Resort Collection

3.1 Phillip Lim - Resort 2010
(Click to Enlarge)

When I saw Phillip Lim's 2010 Resort Collection I seriously wished I'd won the lottery yesterday so I could scoop up every single piece. Chic separates with an obvious theme inspired by swashbuckling pirates...love it. The SHEER LACE pieces are stunning as are the wearable and on-trend rolled hems on many pants and shorts. The casual knits are a go-to piece for any summer wardrobe and the rock-on tee is a spunky addition. Love the entire collection and tried to put together my own 3.1 inspired pieces below, all under $100. But seriously, although you just can't mess around with the fashion perfection that's now Mr. Lim...we can always try to emulate. Enjoy!

Muse of the Moment: Lauren Conrad

Lauren conrad - muse of the moment
(Click to Enlarge)

Lately we've been chatting about SUMMER DRESSES and who better to be our most recent muse than Lauren Conrad, a lady who loves a good dress. Maxi, mini, sophisticated or lady-like...Miss Conrad always looks smashing in her dress choices. I also love that she sports leggings, skinny jeans and cute shorts/skirts quite frequently too. Why is she our recent muse? The way she pairs pieces together re-inspires even the most chic dresser to change...it...up. 

Example? She was snapped matching her bright yellow flats to her adorable headband (above, bottom right). She sported the same ensemble below (middle) and mixed it up by pairing it with maroon heels, a sassy arm cuff and a new Chanel bag (must be nice). Yes, she's THAT lady that mixes and matches in brilliant ways! I've added some speedy-savvy-stylin' below that all rings in under $50. They're all pieces I could totally see Conrad sporting with style. Enjoy and bravo Miss Conrad. We sure will miss 'style stalking' you on The Hills.

Outfit Inspiration: Sunny Day Shopping in Austin, TX à la Prada Marfa Picture by James H. Evans

Prada

Prada at ShopStyle

(Click Thumbnails to be Directed to ShopStyle for Info & to Buy!)

(Click Thumbnails to be Directed to ShopStyle for Info & to Buy!)

RWD and tiny Zola Belle are in Austin, TX for the week visiting dear friends. Shopping, laughing, yummy dinners and lazy days in the sun are on the agenda. These are some of my favorite people from college...and two of the most creative individuals I know. Recently, the married duo and their yorkie (Hollis) took a trip to central Texas and stumbled upon this random 'exhibit' in Marfa, TX. 

Though your eyes may be playing tricks on you, this is not just a stand-alone Prada store, oh no...it's an exhibit of the 2005 Prada Collection, installed as a permanent sculpture on a desolate strip of highway in West Texas and aptly named Prada Marfa (more on the exhibit HERE)

The picture above was captured by amazing photographer James H. Evans (check out more of his pics HERE) but I'll tell you what...the hubby half of my creative Austin duo captured a shot that's a mirror image of the above. Golf claps for him as his image is also breathtaking and truly captures the perfect sunny Texas sky. 

Naturally, some speedy-savvy-stylin' to go along with this great image which includes two Prada pieces; aviators and bracelet. I love the sky blue shorts from Fred Flare and the sexy SHEER Marc Jacobs tank in the perfect shade of summer yellow. GLADIATORS round out the look along with a large square Ba&sh bag for all that Austin shopping. Enjoy!

PS - Gossip Girl fan? It's worth noting that Prada Marfa has recently come back into cultural consciousness since there's a "Prada Marfa" sign up in the Van der Woodsen household on Gossip Girl.

Style Inspired: Tropical Oasis à la Emilio Pucci's Spring 2009 Collection

Emilio pucci - tropical oasis - spring 2009

(Click to Enlarge)

It's warm weather vacation season and I'm yearning for a tropical oasis. I know, I know...I just got back from Florida, but a girl can still dream. Matthew Williamson designed Pucci's Spring 2009 Collection with one single inspiration in mind...the birthplace of Pucci - the island of Capri. It's gorgeous, I've been there, I can vouch. 

This was Matthew's last run as Pucci's head designer and boy, was it a doozy. Enticing every square inch of me to want to flee the states and head to any island, any where. The tropical prints, mesh heels, statement necklaces and barely there bags all have me yearning for one thing...the sun. I've put together some speedy-savvy-stylin' below, both steals and deals. If you're weekend forecast is anything like ours in Northern California, I'll definitely be donning a sweater but daydreaming of warm temps to come. 

Not to worry, I'm off to Austin, Texas next week where the heat is sweltering and the BBQ is awesome...and believe me, I'll be taking my hot new H&M Tropical print maxi with me, along with some NEUTRAL basics and both of my PERFECT summer dresses! Enjoy and add a tropical piece to your summer dressing today!

The Edit - Shopbop Online Magazine - Summer Neutrals

Do you remember when we chatted about a RUSH OF BLUSH back in January? Well, the neutral palette has hit the fashion scene full force and is now one of summer's hottest hues. Lady-like, feminine and good on numerous skin tones, blush colored frocks will not leave you fading into the background.

Wear your snakeskin nude heels with your fave bright yellow dress OR a don a khaki safari dress with your beloved bright pink stilettos. See, work neutrals you already own into your monthly rotation.

Wardrobe Essential: A Throw-On and Wear to Anything Summer Dress

Easy breezy summer dress - claire danes, carrie underwood and katie holmes
(Click to Enlarge)

The true Summer months are quickly approaching which means long hot days and warm starlit nights...late night dinners and BBQ's with friends. I love Summer fashions because dresses are donned all day long. Seriously, all I do is switch out my gladiators for hot evening heels. But the one key piece for easy-breezy summer dressing is that perfect dress. The one you can don as a beach coverup but also sport to a candle-lit dinner. The dress that's comfortable enough to wear racing through the airport and chic enough for a day shopping with the girls. I commend the three celebs above for their easy-breezy one dress wonders.

My perfect summer dress? I have a few...and I always seem to stumble upon their fashion perfection very unexpectedly. One I got from a hole-in-the-wall boutique in the Caribbean and paid $10 for it. It's finally on its last leg as the straps are stretched out beyond repair (boo!) Another I breezed past at TJ Maxx and the emerald green caught my eye. I didn't even try it on and just bought it (I never do that) and it's now always in my summer wardrobe rotation. One things consistent in these stunners; simplicity.

I love that summer dressing doesn't embody loading on the accessories, keeping it simple is key. These dresses can be worn with flip flops or paired with stilettos too. I've sported mine over WHITE wide leg linen trousers and a big sun hat while traveling Europe. Every time I put one of them on I instantly feel pretty, girly and most importantly...stylish.

I can't correctly depict what your perfect summer dress will be, I leave that up to you! Just to help, I've added some speedy-savvy-stylin' (all under $50) below to get you going. Remember, you want this to be your go-to perfect dress to quickly throw on and race out the door. No accessories needed...minimal makeup and messy hair, no problem. The dress makes you feel gorgeous, chic and put together! 

Already own that perfect dress? Tag me on FACEBOOK (below link too) and maybe you'll see your smiling face on RWD. Enjoy!

Reader Fave/Rave: Jordan R Needs Help with Taupe Bridesmaids Dress

My dear friend and bride-to-be, Miss Jordan R, is in desperate need of some fashionable advice for her Bridal Party ensembles. RWD is truly honored to actually be standing next to the gorgeous couple on their special day in August. The look so far? A gorgeous taupe colored and slightly metallic bridesmaids gown. So...the issue? What accessories to pair with it. I told Jordan not to worry...I have her covered. 

Jordan mentioned the idea of loving pearl accents and also wanting the girls to only be in a kitten heel, no higher, as she'll be donning flats under her breathtakingly chic gown. She also has thrown around the idea of some color but eventually we were back to muted tones and metallic undertones. Gorgeous! 

Since I didn't want to give away the exact look of the dress, I chose a 3.1 Phillip Lim Asymmetrical Column dress in a very similar hue. I've shown three different ensemble ideas above that I absolutely adore. The first and last being very classic, playing up the pearls and glam and letting the dress do all the shining. The middle ensemble takes cues from some black tones accentuating the fella's tuxes. 

I've also added some rigorously search out speedy-savvy-stylin' below, with everything coming in at under $50. Metallic, black and creamy-white sandal suggestions along with some gorgeous accessories to take the dress up a notch. Thanks Jordan for letting RWD feature your fashion needs...I am truly honored to stand next to you and Nathan this August. No matter the amount of baubles and glam you give your maids...there will be no out-shining your gorgeousness on such an awesome day. Enjoy!

Outfit Inspiration: Fashionable Pieces for a Summer BBQ Under $25 à la Nicole Richie's Laid-Back Style

Nicole richie's summer style - maxi skirt, cut offs and prints
(Click to Enlarge)

Nicole Richie is one fashionable lady I never tire of. Her style is always, well...her style. She's my automatic go-to for laid-back, boho-chic inspiration. Even though it's overcast, cloudy and fifty degrees here in San Francisco, I know many a reader is heading out to a Memorial Day Picnic so I wanted to give you some pointers/inspiration on what to don. 

I put together two adorable ensembles below taking cues from Nicole Richie's looks above. First up, sweet CUTOFFS with a PAISLEY peasant top...and then a long maxi skirt with an everyday tank. Both looks are worn with awesome GLADIATOR SANDALS and shared accessories. I also adore the beaded hair band for $3.99 and the Exquisite Medallion Necklace for $11.80. Oh yeah, every single piece is under $25! That's right...you're welcome! 

Seriously, so many pieces I want to scoop up now. Hmmm...maybe we'll spend today at the mall shopping the sales instead of our previously planned park picnic since it's so cold. Enjoy and please remember to take a moment and reflect upon what today is all about...we are so blessed to have our freedom.

Stars and celebs wearing a crop top
(Click to Enlarge)

For little pale me, this here is a daring choice. Now...let's go back two/three years and I'd be sporting this all over the Caribbean and Florida. Now that I'm a northern Cali girl and well, the sun just don't shine as much in these parts, I think I'll leave this one up to you, dear tan/sun-kissed readers. If you have abs then this is a definite do for you. Maybe your still doing those crunches to get into bikini shape...take style notes from Kate Bosworth (above) and layer a tank underneath your cropped goodie. 

Just for the record, exposing your mid-drift is no longer a fashion taboo...it's HOT! Some speedy-savvy-stylin' below to get your cropped shopping started early. Be the first to don this daring new trend. Take time to breeze through my awesome selection below. I really love the bright YELLOW hue of the Corey Lynn Calter Marla Cropped Flutter Top for $37.19 (that's such a mouth full) and would totally wear that with boyfriend jeans and gladiator sandals all Summer long. Seriously, if you've already jumped on this trend train...tag me in a pic on Facebook (link below too) and I might just feature your look. Enjoy!

Wardrobe Essential: Sassy Summer Brights - All Under $50

Summer brights on the spring 2009 runway
(Click to Enlarge)

Now, this is why I adore Summertime...seriously! With less than one month to go, as Summer's official due-date is creeping near, I just had to share my fave all-weather fashion trend. Bright, stunning, cheery, eye-catching COLOR. I mix these bold hues into my wardrobe rotation on a weekly basis. 

As our recent trip to Florida came to a close, I promised myself I'd keep donning the bright hues all Summer long, even if San Francisco is known for it's chilly climate. Accessories are a great way to add a pop of bright Summer color to a white dress. I also just sported a great H&M blazer in the same hue as Chris Benz's tunic above. I wore it over a white TIERED dress and it truly made my blue eyes pop! 

Some speedy-savvy-stylin' below to get you going. All the pieces are under $50 so there's no excuse at all on your part. I've made it beyond easy for you to scoop up a bright key piece to sport all Summer long. My faves from below? I love the TURQUOISE Skygazer Drop Earrings for $29.95 and the Matisse Mix Salsa Tee for $34.99 would go perfect with WHITE JEANS/trousers. If great gams are what you have then please snatch up the Pixel Plaid Sunset Short for $43 from Fred Flare. I also adore colored denim and the Blu Bijoux Enamel Bracelets for $28. Enjoy...I know you will!

Style Inspired: Carrie Bradshaw - Sex and the City (Season 1)

Sex and the city - season 1 stills
(Click to Enlarge)

I have something very embarrassing and possibly shocking to share with you. Up until one week ago, I had never seen the first season of SATC! Insanity? Crazy? I know. My sister about choked in laughter when I told her this as she's a devout SATC fanatic...Season 1 ended up on my doorstep a week later. I, on the other hand, loved the movie but have only seen snippets of the popular HBO series...sis now deemed it time! So during my recent trip to Florida...I sat back, relaxed and enjoyed season one during our long cross-country flight. Yes, the time literally flew by. 

More importantly, focusing on the fashion...and boy was I in for a surprise. I absolutely loved it and now know why the obsession took place and still does. Upon watching it, as I naturally do with everything, I'm scanning the choice of wardrobe and taking mental notes. All of the sudden I realized that many of the looks, colors and cuts are very much, back in fashion. Who woulda thought that SATC Season 1 would be on-trend in today's market? 

Check the above stills from Season 1. Pieces that stand out; statement making color-block clutch, peek-a-boo lace, scarves galore, silky satin cocktail numbers, the color pink, fancy feathers and killer heels that are to die for. I told you so. Well, I've put together some speedy-savvy-stylin' below to show you some chic pieces that are 'very Carrie' and would be great additions to your Summer wardrobe. Enjoy and someone please loan me Season 2!

Stella McCartney is just pure fashion genius in my eyes. She always just...'gets it right!' Her new capsule collection for Net-a-Porter is whimsical and lady-like. I love it. I'm inspired to possibly add a piece to my summer wardrobe rotation, but they ring in at a hefty price...the least expensive item being the Cloud Print Shopper for $185. 

But, as you can see, it made one of my top fave pieces from the Collection, highlighted in the collage below. Well if you can't get your recessionista grubs on some Stella, fret not.

Wanting/Wishing/Wearing: Mad for Mosaic à la Ginnifer, Becki and Angelina

I love anything and everything mosaic. Enamel jewelry, killer scarves, long caftans and eye catching dresses all come in incredible mosaic prints and I absolutely adore them. Just yesterday RWD Hubby and I were racing through the Orlando, FL airport and I noticed the gorgeous mosaic tiles on the ground and told him how pretty I thought it was. It got me thinking about the print used in fashion and voilà we have this here awesome post. 

I love how the three ladies above are wearing gorgeous mosaic print frocks and remember to keep the rest of the look simple and understated. Let the tiled goodness shine bright by keeping the accessories minimal. I've provided some speedy-savvy-stylin' below. I'm in love with the Mosaic Dangle Earrings for $14 from Swell (can't beat that price) and the Tory Burch 'Julia' Silk Jersey Dress would be a great Summer Date Night dress as it's sure to turn heads. Enjoy and be sure to add a mosaic piece to your Summer 2009 lineup!

Wardrobe Essential: A Tiered Dress That Makes You Feel Gorgeous

Celebs in tiered dresses
(Click to Enlarge)

Oh honey, this is NOT your Mom's tiered dress. No...no...no! These are sexy, sophisticated and completely figure-flattering! Lately, I've been buying ALL the new on-trend tiered dresses I can get my hands on. Seriously, obsessed...I honestly just can't get enough of them. 

Full and noticeable/subtle and sexy...they've each found a place in my closet, as of recent. H&M has some great finds as does Bloomingdales and Target too. So the prices run the gamut, truly something for everyone! 

As RWD Hubby, Zola and myself are heading back to my hometown in Florida today for a weekend family wedding, I've scooped up a few new tiered goodies for the soirees/bbqs and I can honestly say I'm so excited to don the goods. Naturally, some speedy-savvy-stylin' below because this IS a wardrobe essential...not just something I think you might 'want' to have...you NEED it, believe me! 

Last week, I tried on a white BCBG Max Azria tiered stunner (similar to the one below but strapless) and wow, I had to shield my eyes from the price tag and walk briskly to the register to pay. It was one of those OMG dresses! Where you put it on and you think, 'this...is...bad...ass!' Yep, I felt gorgeous, hot and when I tried it on later, back at the RWD casa...RWD Hubby concurred. A good purchase as it's a timeless piece that I can wear over and over and over again. 

So dear readers, find yourself some tiers and start strutting that hot Summer bod a month early! Enjoy! Oh and PS - I love how Leighton Meester mixed it up above, adding a leather bomber and sneaks to her tiered mini! You know I'll be rotating my tiers into a more casual look just like that! Bravo, Meester!
