the leopard sandal

Happy Hump Day! Today we're talking a summertime must-have :: the leopard sandal. You've heard me say it before that you can absolutely use leopard as a neutral. It's true! And leopard doesn't have to be "fancy." It can be casual, understated and the perfect pop of chic. I love these simple ankle wrap-arounds by Seychelles. The best part? You don't even know you are wearing shoes, they're so comfortable!Pair your leopard with a simple short, your favorite maxi or sundress

You can score my Seychelles leopard sandals from Modcloth for a steal!

Here are some other fun options to satisfy your leopard craving ::

So add some pep to your step with a leopard sandal this summer! Don't be afraid to use it as a neutral and mix with simple patterns like stripes and polka dots. A step outside your comfort zone will yield a multitude of compliments and new outfit options in your wardrobe!

the perfect weekender bag

Happy Monday, y'all! Today I'm curing those Monday blues and taking you back {or ahead} to the weekend. I've been searching for the perfect weekender bag for quite some time now; not too big, not too small, and nothing so heavy I feel like I'm lugging it around. My husband's only request of me when we head to the lake for the weekend is "Can you please consolidate all of your stuff into ONE bag?!" Why yes, hubby; your wish is my command. Enter, the Stella & Dot weekender bag.

Not only is this bag the perfect size, it also zips out to expand even larger when you need that little bit of extra space. The leather is the perfect color, handles are sturdy, and this baby comes in multiple patterns and colors! My favorite has to be the elephant print. I love when red and purple combine and compliment one another perfectly.

Here are all of the fabulous pattern options ::

So ditch the duffle and consolidate your weekend necessities with the Stella & Dot Weekender. You'll be able to simplify your packing and add some order to that crazy busy life of yours.

made in america :: part one

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a Happy Fourth of July and a relaxing weekend. Our beach trip is officially over, and I am still refusing to accept that it's back to the real world. Anyone else? So in honor of the great U.S.A., we're kicking off a series highlighting some of my favorite brands and products that are made right here in America...

Today for part one, I'm highlighting a fun little company based here in Atlanta that makes beaded tassel jewelry :: Just Peachy. Rachel with Just Peachy Blog is a fellow fashionista and her lovely tassel necklaces were a welcomed addition into my casual wardrobe! These are so easy and fun to throw on with anything from a tee, to a basic dress by adding some bright colors & some tribal flair.

This  beaded necklace with hints of coral and lavender paired perfectly with a basic navy + white striped tee.

How about this citrine green paired with fuchsia accents? Two of my favorite bright colors combined into one. Perfect for pairing with chambray and much more. {paired here with chambray LOFT romper}I am also loving Rachel's other tassel necklaces {like this peach tassel below}, some of which are available in her ETSY shop. {custom orders welcomed}

LIFEstyled loves supporting local businesses and products! If you have any suggestions or own a business yourself, we'd love to hear from you!

Stay tuned tomorrow for part two of our 'Made in America' series, where I'm sharing my new favorite beach coverup and many more fab items from a fun Chicago company!

stay stylishly patriotic this 4th of July!

The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and today I'm bringing you some outfit inspiration to stay true to the red, white & blue in style! Whether you're headed to a backyard barbecue, the lake or beach, or a fireworks show in the park, you can ditch the Old Navy flag tees from 1990 {yes, you know what I'm talking about! Don't act like your family of 4 never did the matching Old Navy tee move on the 4th of July...}

How about pulling the colors together in a simple, non-cheesy way? Not only are these pieces great for your 4th celebrations, but they are classic staples that will remain versatile in your closet for the rest of the summer ::

 Here's how you can get the look ::

Stay cool, stylish + patriotic this 4th of July!

more is more :: stacking your arm candy

Happy Wednesday! I apologize for my brief blogging hiatus; I've been all over the city and back these last few days, and the daily grind gotten the best of me! Today I'm back and bringing you some jewelry inspiration. You've all heard the saying, "Less is more." Well, ignore that when it comes to adorning your wrists. It may be applicable in other areas; Less is definitely more in terms of balancing your earrings to your necklace, and vice versa. But your wrist can be constantly over-adorned! There are virtually no rules here - mix your metals, mix and match various bangles, and experiment with colors and textures. Stack with your watch, or stack on the other hand. Mix vintage with new. Get my "anything goes" drift? Here's some inspiration + some of my favorite arm candy ::

Here are some of my favorite stackable bracelets & bangles ::

So start mixing + stacking! You might be surprised at the combinations you love, and already had in your jewelry box.

my FAVORITE go-to necklace

Happy Friday, y'all! Today let's talk about my favorite necklace. This necklace screams my name every time I open my jewelry box, and it's no wonder why. It's versatile, neutral, fun and sophisticated. Enter, the fabulous, timeless and perfect PEGASUS.

I'm not kidding when I say I wear this several times a week. And with a not-so-cheap pricetag, I have TOTALLY gotten my money's worth. It goes with everything, from day to night, from casual to formal.

See? I told you I wear it all the time ::

...the Pegasus really has it all! If you're looking for the perfect neutral and versatile addition to your jewelry wardrobe, look no further. I can promise you WON'T regret it!

Wishing you all a happy, stylish weekend ahead! Until next week...
