Bloomies Friends and Family Picks

By Whitney

As I mentioned earlier, Bloomingdales Friends and Family for spring is going on through April 6.  Take 20%  off of everything and there is lots and lots to choose from.  Besides the below, I am loving this amazing bikini, this necklace in every color and these perfect studs that take you to work or to a party.  Go perk up your spring wardrobes!

Ray-Ban Icons Ice Pop Wayfarers (love these in all of the colors) – $128 (were $160)

A Great Pair of (Affordable) Pants

By Whitney

The moto trend is in full effect.  Pants with leather patches, zippers and strategic quilting seem to be everywhere this season.  I wanted to find a pair that weren’t “too much” and could actually be paired with what I already had in my closet (my style doesn’t exactly align with this trend) .   I was looking for a basic pant with a bit of an edge.  At Bloomies f&f last week I found a great pair that were under $100 and satisfied my exact needs.  These Aqua black pointe knit leggings are great.  Two zippers and a patch of quilting going down the side of the leg are subtle features that pair well with just a basic t shirt and a cool necklace.  The best part?  They are $78.  A great price to pick up on a trend that probably won’t last too long but one you’ll want to get in on.

Aqua Quilted Pointe Zip Pants – $78

I’m loving the emerald green and the lizard combo of these flats.  Too cute with navy or trendy burgundy skinnies.

Tory Burch Eddie Flats in Malachite Green – $200($250 without code)

These pants NEED to be in my work rotation.  I can’t imagine a pair that I’d wear more.  Blazers, button down silk blouses, sweaters…everything.  No better fit than A&O either.

Alice and Olivia Andrew Skinny Pants – $194 ($242 without code)

This collar is spot-on trend and the neutral color can give spice to just about anything.

Juicy Couture Punk Rocks Collar Necklace – $118 ($148 without code)

I posted on these booties before but they’re right up Lauren’s alley too.  The plum would look great against black tights and the cut of the ankle will flatter your leg.

Sigerson Morrison Lamar Booties –  $260 ($325 without code)

Two trends in one; emerald green and leather.  This jacket is just awesome.

Aqua Luxe Leather Jacket in Bottle Green – $287 ($358 without code)

Shoshanna Trunk Show Recap

by Lauren

On Friday I had the pleasure of attending the Shoshanna trunk show at Urban Chic’s Georgetown location.  I have been dying over Shoshanna’s bright prints and colors this season and the amazing merchandising and displays at UC made it even more apparent: Shoshanna is killing it this spring.

Urban Chic teamed up with “Petite Social” whose tag line is “Little Celebrations. Big Style”
What a great event planning concept! The candy displays were colorful and perfect for the
occasion.

I really gravitated toward the orange and blue mixing of patterns.  I especially loved the Zulu print
& leaving no trunk show behind, I walked out with a pair of Zulu print shorts and this silk top, which
will do double duty as a layering piece under a blazer for work & an easy
top on a summer night.

My other favorites:

1. Faye Printed Dress

2.  Zoe Color Block Dress

3.  Belle Twill Dress

4. Mia Tropical Dress & shorts in the same print (awful picture but they are
great, trust me)

5. Tillie Printed Dress
