Monogram Necklace

Monograms? I mean who doesn't love them? A monogram necklace can add an unexpected twist to any outfit. I have been thinking about purchasing a monogram necklace for a couple of weeks now and I have come up with the perfect one.

 The font is really what makes this necklace stand out. This necklace comes in two different colors, sterling sliver and rose gold. I cannot wait to wear this in 6-7 business days.

Have a wonderful day!

Friday Finds #2

Friday Finds #2 is now under way...Is it just me or did that sound like a plane pilot? Let's get down to business everybody....

 

 

When I saw these shorts in Clothes Mentor I knew I had to have them. The damask print is so beautiful. These shorts are very versatile.  You could dress these shorts up or down. If you wanted to dress down the shorts you could go with the classic denim shirt and sandals.  To dress them up get a white top, statement necklace and some heels.

 

Brand- Gap (Clothes Mentor Consignment) Price $12.99

 

 

Stripes and Bows are two of my favorite things. The color of this shirt is the perfect summer color. Wearing white shorts with this shirt would really bring out the blush color and your summer tan.

 

Brand- Abelle Boutique (http://www.abelleboutique.com/Home.aspx) Price $21.20 (They were having a 20% off sale.)

 

 

 

Tory Burch is one of my favorite designers. When I found these shoes in ETC. Consignment store I went crazy. I was so excited because a couple days before I was thinking about buying a pair. I am so glad I didn't!

 

Brand- Tory Burch (ETC. Consignment) Price $46.00 (regularly $225.00)

 

 

Have a great day!

Where have I been?

Hey guys! It seems like forever since I last put up a post! This summer has been hectic with the end of the school year, golf and summer plans. I have decided to put up a posting schedule. Every Monday I will upload a new outfit post and every Friday I will post my top finds for that week. As for posts on the weekends that will be a surprise! Over this break of blogging it was my birthday and I wanted to share two gifts I received.

A Michael Kors watch and a pair of Ray-Bans.

 

 

These two accessories are great summer essentials.

 

Be on the look out for some great new posts. Have a wonderful day!

Favorite Blogs of April

Merry May everyone! I am so excited to share my favorite blogs with you this month.

The first blog I have been reading this month is http://southerncurlsandpearls.blogspot.com/. Lately I have been loving the preppy style. I think this style is very sophisticated and anyone who is wearing something preppy whether it be Jack Rogers, pearls or a Long champ bag are always very stylish. So I always find myself reading the blog and loving her preppy style.

The second blog is http://wonderfulseabreeze.blogspot.com/. This is also a wonderful and preppy blog. One thing that I enjoy about her blog is that whenever she posts anything whether it be a outfit post or a wish list, it is always enjoyable and to the point.

The last but certainly not leas,t is http://www.littlemissfearless.com/. Where do I begin? This blog is absolutely fabulous. Her pictures are crystal clear and I mean how cute is her blog name? She always has on a cute pair of sunglasses to match each outfit. The Ray-Bans I am jealous of!
 

 

Have a blessed day!

Today's Bargain: Michael Kors Bag

I was recently shopping in Marshall's when I came across this bag. It was screaming, "Annika! Annika!". I immediately grabbed it off the rack and put it in my shopping cart. One of my all time favorite designers is Michael Kors, so I was amazed when I came across this bag. One of the reasons I bought this bag was because of its color. This neutral color can go with anything. Which is great for the upcoming Spring colors and crazy trends.

Favorite Blogs of February

I take great interest in reading other fashion blogs. They are truly fun to read and can provide wonderful style tips if you pick the right ones. 

 I remember being on Pinterest one day and seeing the most cutest outfit ever. I immediately checked out the blog. After getting hooked, I began reading every single post. The reason I enjoy reading this blog is she shops for the best deals and is able to put together an awesome outfit for a reasonable price!
http://www.jseverydayfashion.com/

 

 I also found another blog on Pinterest that caught my attention. On this blog you will find tons of 'Outfit Posts' (hints the name "Outfit Posts").  It is definitely a blog you should check out. She has an adorable pair of  green Hunter Rain Boots that I just adore.  I am sure you guys remember my recent post on Hunter Rain Boots. ( http://styleforlessbyannika.blogspot.com/2013/02/hunter-rain-boots.html#links)

http://outfitposts.blogspot.com/

 

The last blog I have enjoyed reading this month is really an eye catcher. I absolutely adore her sense of style. Her Spring style is perfection.  The way she paired an ombre skirt with a top, heels and a statement necklace gave me inspiration for some future outfits.  If you haven't seen her blog yet you're missing out.

I would like to send out a special thank you to my favorite February style bloggers.  I appreciate you letting me mention your blog in this post.  Every little style tip helps in making the perfect outfit.  Thanks ladies!!
