Summer Destination: Bahamas Bound

(Click here for details)

If you missed the first segment in my Summer Destination Series, you can find it here. What I am doing is taking your, my readers', summer destination spots and creating outfits inspired by them. Sharon over at The Tiny Heart is going to the Bahamas for her vacation soon (I know, don't be jealous), so I created several looks for her that I think would be perfect for a Bahamas vacation.

If you are interested in having a few looks put together that are inspired by your vacation (or dream vacation), email me! I'd love to hear from you.

A Little Lace

Lace by amyshaughnessy

After my post last week on lace (you can see it here), I couldn't stop thinking about how pretty the fabric was. I decided to build a couple of outfits around the intricately designed material. I picked two pair of shorts (one with lace trim and one full-on lace) and decided to do a day and evening look.

When putting these together, I actually thought I would like the day look best. It's casual, stylish, and comfortable all at the same time. I love to be comfortable. However, as I might have mentioned before, I love a good heel. With that said, I would have to say that the first look is my favorite. I love the look of a classic button-up shirt paired with feminine shorts. I also love the bright color of the blouse and the equally bright pump. The spiked ring adds a bit of edge to the outfit, which I love.

Which look would you pick?

Have you ever wanted to try a different hair style but were afraid of the commitment? Check out this Virtual Hair Makeover! You basically upload a picture of your face and then 'try on' different hair styles. It isn't perfect but it can give you an idea of what a hair color or hair style would look like on you. If nothing else, it's fun!

Mostly Sunny/Partly Cloudy

One Jumpsuit Done Two Ways by amyshaughnessy featuring zara bags

I was looking through some of my favorite websites, trying to decide what my next post would be on when I saw this jumpsuit. I hate to say that it 'jumped' out at me (so cheesy, I know), but it did. I immediately knew that it was a piece that could be styled many ways. For time's sake, I chose two different looks.

The first look (mostly sunny) is styled specifically for the hot, sunny days that are most certainly ahead of us. I really like pairing aviators and a fedora together. They just seem to be a natural match. The scarf adds a little visual interest to the top of the jumpsuit and looks chic with the hat and glasses. The stacking rings are another cool accessory in an all-together cool look. This is a look that is completely 'me' and I would wear it in a heartbeat! (Did I just call myself cool? Because I'm most certainly not! More like, borderline nerd with hopefully decent taste).

The next look (partly cloudy) is probably more appropriate for those cooler, cloudy days that hit in early spring. Just because the weather may be cool and cloudy, doesn't mean your outfit has to be drab! The bright blazer will keep your arms covered and keeps the jumpsuit from looking too summer-like. I really like the floral scarf with the hummingbird bracelet. The bracelet and delicate earrings keep this look pretty and elegant.

I found several different blazers (here and here) that I thought would be appropriate with this second look as well. Take your pick!

Have a great Wednesday!
