last resort

For the lucky ones who are escaping to the beach for the holiday- this post is for you.  I came across the Calvin Klein 2011 Swimwear collection, and found myself in awe! I love the simplistic approach to the design, and the heavy stitching creates an athletic aspect for any kind of beach sports you're willing to participate in!

One thing that I'd like to note... be sure to stick to the active swimwear.  The last thing you want is to be caught lying on the beach in your perfect $300 swimsuit when a cutie comes up and invites you to a game of beach volleyball!

Blazers. Quite possibly my favorite trend this winter season.  Preppy and professional, it is sure to add a classy element to any outfit.  Wear it with an embellished T, collared shirt, or worn out band tshirt... any of these outfits is sure to draw looks.  Influenced by both the boyfriend jeans and boyfriend tees trends, this look made its debut on the Spring 2010 catwalk.   But why let it stay in the spring? Mix it with some sweaters and knits to add a cozy look.

I have been a huge fan of the blazer this winter.... go out and grab yourself one from one of my favorite stores of all time: J Crew!  Look for one that is oversized, where you can roll up the sleeves for ultimate comfort and style.
