Wild for on Wednesday...Have to Have

so I am going to go out on a limb and assume all of you have heard of Pinterest and more importantly have used Pinterest. Pinterest point blank is pretty fab. BUT,  as much as I love Pinterest, I find it has not been so efficient when it comes to shopping. It is great for coming up with outfit ideas, but as far as making purchases....just not doing it for me. 

Last week when I was in the Hamptons I had the pleasure of meeting Carla Holtze, the fabulous co-founder of Have to Have. Where have you been all my life Carla and furthermore, Have to Have, how have you gone under my radar for SO long???

Wow. This website is mind blowing. Its goal summarized briefly is to steam line online perusing, saving you money in the process. Similar to pinterest you save items you want into your folder, and even better, the site contacts you when that item goes on sale (similar to the Shopbop wishlist which I am obsessed with, except this reaches any online retailer you may choose to peruse). GENIUS.

Trend Tuesday....Light & Airy Dresses

This past weekend I attended a charity event in the Hamptons and realized right as the driver was arriving to pick us up that I had packed all the wrong types of dresses (my leopard print mini was vetoed by all the boys in the house who said wearing animal print to the Nature Conservancy was taboo). What I really needed was a "light and airy" dress that looks absolutely dashing with wedges, since you know, must summer events are outside on the lawn, and heels just help aerate the lawn while making it impossible to walk. 

These dresses are perfect for the hot summer months and simultaneously conservative enough to wear to more formal events. They key is to pick a dress that resembles a tunic/ caftan, then adds some fun jewelry, nude wedges, a clutch and you are set for the night.

Trend Tuesday...Off Shoulder

I am a total fan of the "off shoulder" look. Its revealing...but only revealing enough, plus the collarbone is such a feminine part of the body and definitely worth revealing. The "off shoulder" shirt can be easily paired with a pair of jeans or a maxi skirt making it super versatile. Apparently, the people over at Essie agree because they named this yummy pink color "Off the Shoulder"...

Style Saturday...Colored Denim

I most certainly like to dress well and fashionably, but I also don't love drawing attention to myself by what I am wearing- so it took me a little while to warm up to this colored denim trend. Obviously when I finally convinced myself to buy a pair, I opted for the most eye catching color- red. 


I absolutely love the pair I bought made by Current Elliot (yet another shopbop success!)- an additional perk- Current Elliot is all about the vanity sizing, so I ended up buying a pair one size smaller than what I usually wear, who doesn't love that?


Anyway- in my personal opinion, the bright color of the pants needs to be the focus of the outfit so I am a bit disturbed when people pair colored denim with bright catchy prints - I am sure there is a way of doing it well, I just dont think the majority of us know how to pull it off, so I prefer to stick to the basics. 


While white and black tops are obviously very easy to match with anything, I have pulled several white and black tops that are by no means boring. I am currently obsessing with Helmet Lang - the brand never ceases to surprise me with their ability to create beautiful and well fitted pieces that are unique yet still a "staple" for ones closet.
