Fashion Friday : Summer Trend - The Chevron Print

One  of the hottest prints this season is the Chevron print. This zig zag print is showing up on everything from couch pillows to blouses to throw rugs. Seen from the runways to gas stations and everywhere in between! If you do not already own at least one item in Chevron print, you should. This print is versatile and flattering on almost every body type.

For the warmer summer weather try a dress, cut just above the knee, in a bright color. The longer sleeves on this LaPosh dress will also carry you into Autumn and beyond without being too heavy for summer.

Another idea: Pair a Chevron print blouse with bright colored trousers and large, chunky jewelry. This combines several summer trends without looking like you are “trying to hard”. If you are wearing an oversized blouse, be sure to pair it with slim cut pants, so as not to add extra bulk to your outfit! Try Chevron shaped rings and bracelets to add pizzazz to your outfit.

A fabulous way to rock the Chevron print is with an amazing pair of wedges from Anthropologie. These trendy shoes would pair easily with everything from jeans to a cotton dress to a little black dress.

Sweet 25!

Happy Monday Friends!

So this isn't going to be an average week for me.  On Thursday, I celebrate 25 years of life and I couldn't be more excited!  I admit, birthdays just aren't as exciting as they were as a kid {dreaming up my birthday party months in advance, telling the world they're invited to celebrate, and popping that party hat atop my blonde blonde little head and screaming at the top of my raspy little lungs IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!  What can I say?  I was one exuberant kid.} For whatever reason, every birthday after 20 has included tears of "oh my goodness!  I'm becoming an adult!"  {I assure you, Hubby has heard his fair share of birthday woes.}  But this year feels different.  I don't know if it's the whole new life, new season thing or if it's simply because I've survived half {blonde moment....oops!} a quarter of a century and I have a whole lotta thankfulness in my heart for what God has done in my little life, but whatever the reason, I'm excited!  Forget sweet 16!  Sweet 25 is on it's way and I'm ready to embrace it!  So in honor of "Birthday Week" I'm bringing to you a few fav's from the internet....

This tangerine bag from Francesca's caught my eye last month and I've been thinking of it ever since.

Perfect compliment to those bright spring outfits, headed our way, huh??

I'm a major fan of these "Love Candy" prints by Jen Ramos of Made by Girl.  

Her "Blogs & Coffee" print is a favorite too....

And since we're talking prints, this "Know Your Value" print from The Wonderfully Made Boutique is just too cute for words!  {I simply don't have enough wall space for all of the prints I love.}

Also from the *Wonderfully Made Boutique, their signature Friendship Bracelet is just adorable {and in my favorite color}!

I love the Glory Fringe necklace from *31Bits.  

It would go with anything.

And lastly, I have to say that I adore these Chevron Mini Custom iPad Cases from Pencil Shavings Studio on Etsy.  

What's your favorite internet find these days???
