Cute Hoodie - Now on Sale!

The Semaphore Hoodie from this post is now on sale (now $39.95, was $68.00).

Cute Hoodie

Hoodies are great for everyday casual wear. Easy to throw on and always comfortable, no wardrobe is complete without this simple cover-up.

The Semaphore Hoodie is dressy as far as hoodie goes - the perfect casual-chic piece. It looks so pretty when open with the drape-front, and looks equally good buttoned up too.

Long Cardis

Recently, I've been enjoying my shorter length tops and sweaters (the ones that hit at high hip or are cropped - with a cami or tank underneath). I've been enjoying how my waistline looks higher, thus my legs look longer, and in turn, I look taller.

However, I'm intrigued by the longer length v-neck cardigans that have been hanging around.

I love the bright colors that are available in the Lux Basic Long Cardigan.

For a supremely soft and lightweight cardi, the Michael Stars Long Cardigan Supima Long Sleeve definitely fits the bill. It looks so relaxed but still clean and put together.

When buttoned up, the row of buttons create a vertical line which is helpful for creating the illusion of length. However, it is important to make sure that this style doesn't mess with your body proportions too much making your torso look long and your legs stubby. Tall girls don't need to worry about this, but some of us may not want to make our legs look any shorter. Also, it's important to check where the cardigan ends on your body - don't need it to end right around the widest part of your hips because that's just going to emphasize them.

Bright Sweater-Jacket & Skirt

The 525 Toggle Hoodie is a thick knit toggle sweater-jacket is a great substitute for a light jacket on those spring days. The lovely lemony color is perfect.

A bright colored skirt will definitely make a statement this spring, especially in this sexy and shapely Susana Monaco Slim Skirt.

Layering Time

Cardigans are so perfect as the weather starts to fluctuate. A light layer than you can easily remove if you get too warm is great.

The French Connection 'Ella' Knit Cardigan is such a gorgeous color. Scoopnecks are very flattering for most figures and is a nice in-between a crewneck and a v-neck. The 3/4 sleeve is also great. Sometimes long sleeves are too covered up for my liking, but what use is a layer if it's not going to cover something?

Jeweled black buttons finish off this simple, yet adorable sweater.

50% off right now (was $98.00, now only $48.90!).

Tulle

I'm a big fan of Tulle. They have some great stuff with reasonable prices (there's even plenty of good stuff in the sale section). Here are some picks.

The Stretch Twill Belted Jacket is such an easy basic (also comes in black and cherry). The waist cinching belt makes it more figure friendly.

A simple Retro Print Jersey Belted Dress is perfect for a warm summer's day. Light and ethereal with a fun pattern in pretty colors.

Warm weather should be arriving soon, but this Waffle Knit Funnel Collar Sweater is a neutral color and so this item can be worn during these last few (hopefully) cold days then put away for next winter. I love how the different textures and exaggerated funnel neck collar make this neutral colored sweater way more interesting.

Bold Colored Sweaters @ J.Crew

Left to Right:

Solid Kelly Jacket,

Cotton-Cashmere Primrose Cardigan,

Corinne Sweater Jacket,

Academy Cardigan



The bright, bold colors that have been hanging around J.Crew lately are phenomenal. They're just the thing to brighten things up and get you in the mood for spring.

A substantial sweater jacket like the Solid Kelly Jacket or the Corinne Sweater Jacket are perfect replacements for a blazer and have a different look.

The ruffles on the Cotton-Cashmere Primrose Cardigan combined with the juicy color creates a playful/flirty look.

And not to forget the gorgeous Academy Cardigan, a cardigan in a beautiful shade of green in a classic v-neck cardigan, but this cardi is made fresh with the addition of a few patch pockets and contrast embossed buttons.

Pattern V-Neck Cardigan

When I saw the Tory Burch Ivory Detailed Silk Cashmere Knit Cardigan with the red pattern at the front, I was hooked.

I like wearing a v-neck cardigan open since it creates a nice vertical line (which helps you look taller). When crewneck cardigans open also create this effect too, but all my v-neck cardigans drape better.

Hot Sweater

This Back Snap Logo Cardigan comes in a color appropriately called "Stop."

Snap details at the neck and on the back make this sweater a little edgy and interesting.

Plus, it's a great deal at $49.99 (marked down from $98.00).

Greens & Yellows!

Left to Right: Gap Waffle Crewneck Sweater, Cotton Emporium Waffle Weave Cardigan, Daks London Satchel, Ella Moss Peacock Bow Tie Top in Dijon, Gap Half-Ribbed Empire Henley, Cozy Fringed Scarf

I am such a huge fan of greens and yellows right now. I really think yellow combines really well with loads of colors (green included).
