On My Radar

$5 F21 studs here, here, and here; DaisyGem earrings here and here

My brother-in-law gave me a Forever 21 gift card for Christmas (smart guy) so I scooped up a few pair of earrings from there this weekend. F21 is THE place to go for inexpensive, cute stud earrings. I also found a Visa gift card that had been hiding in my wallet for who knows how long and ordered the awesome jeweled earrings pictured at the very top from DaisyGem. 

I'm also eyeing the two pieces pictured below from ASOS. I can see them fitting so well into my existing wardrobe and mixing and matching with several pieces that I already own. However, I'm trying to be smart and save money since little baby will be here in 3 short weeks. So unless I find more free money hiding in my wallet, these two pieces may be just a dream.

I Love the Flower Girl - Part 3

I Love the Flower Girl - Part 3 by amyshaughnessy on polyvore.com

Today is the last day in my floral trend series. Just to show you how popular the trend is: half of the pictures I saved for this trend series were sold out by the time I was ready to publish each post. Of course, the selection of floral print garments is vast so you should have plenty to choose from should you decide to purchase any.

It seems that I have been including my favorite items at the beginning of each collection. I really love this first long sleeve pink blouse. I think this blouse would look great with a pair of shorts and sandals (you pick your favorite height. I think flats, wedges, or heels would all look stellar with shorts). Fifteen years ago I would have freaked at the idea of wearing a long sleeve shirt with shorts. (I was in high school then so I was pretty much self-conscious about a lot of things). To me, long sleeve shirts were synonymous with winter (as shorts were with summer), so I would have never imagined mixing the two. These days I will try just about anything (except perhaps a dress made of meat; you can leave that to Lady Gaga).

I included a few pairs of floral stud earrings at the end of this collection for those of you who want to try the floral trend but want to do so in a small way. The earrings are delicate and will definitely add a touch of femininity  to your look without being over the top.

I hope you enjoyed your weekend and are ready for the week ahead!

Tribal Prints - Part 3: Accessories

Tribal Prints - Part 3: Accessories by amyshaughnessy on polyvore.com

Calling all minimalists! Here is the last segment in my Tribal Prints series. If head-to-toe tribal prints are too loud for you and separates are still a bit much, then accessories are the best way to capitalize on this funky print trend.

Start with a neutral outfit and add one of these accessories to amp up your look. Just a cute top and shorts would look great with one of the ballet flats. I am loving the Coconuts Brea flat and think it would look super cute with this top and a pair of shorts.

So out of the three segments, which was your favorite overall? I personally like the separates and accessories...although I still can't get over this dress from the first series!
