Stripes-they're classic, timeless, edgy and fun. Every season we see designers taking stripes to different levels offering new ways to wear and accessorize with stripes. Here are some of my favorite stripe pieces for the summer.

May Lust List

1. I have fallen in love with sheer blouses. I own at least one in every color- but not this color. I spotted this blouse when browsing online and absolutely loved it. The bright neon color is great this spring and can be a great transition piece going into the summer. This one can be found online at Modcloth for just $38.


2. Pink, Pink and more pink. I love pink for a summer/spring nail color. This coral color is part of  Butter's 2012 Collection and can be found at Beauty supply stores for around $14.


3. Recently I was gifted some incredible bangles from World Market. They have amazing details and are in great colors for this summer. During my weekly online shopping haul I saw these striped bangles with great color and sparkle details from Bloomingdales for $28.


4. Summer time means fun big totes. I love this coral striped bag from J.Crew. It's perfect for a vacation, just running errands or a day by the pool. It also comes in different summer shades!


5. For a while now I have been on the hunt for a new digital camera. While I am not a professional photographer by any means, I am looking for something other than a snap and shoot digital camera. Something one step down from an expensive SLR digital camera at that is user friendly for me-the beginner. Oh ya, and that doesn't break the bank! Yesterday, while watching TV I saw a commercial for this baby- the Olympus PEN compact camera. It offers everything I am looking for and comes in great colors!


6. It's bathing suit season in Arizona! I tend to be slightly picky when it comes to suits. I don't want something everyone else has. I absolutely love this suit from Mary and Paul! The bows are such a great detail. Each piece of the suit is sold separately and is a little pricy, but I think it is so worth it!


7. It is hot in Arizona. When I say hot I mean the less clothes you wear the better off you will be. That's why sundresses are so amazing. I have recently started stocking up on lightweight fun patterned dressed from all over and saw this piece and couldn't wait to get my hands on it! The fun pattern and great colors make it a great piece for the summer! Only $58 from Dorothy Perkins.

8. These cute sandals come from one of my favorite online shopping sites- ASOS. They always have great deals and an AMAZING selection of whatever you are looking for. These leather flats are a great addition to a summer dress or pair of shorts for $61.

Day to Night Look: Neon Yellow Dress

When I shop I always look for items that are versatile. If I can only 

wear it once or in one way, it isn't worth buying to me. 

This neon, hot little number is great for any occasion. Not only is neon
so in this season but it can add the perfect pop of color when done
the right way. I love these two looks. You can pair it with a jean jacket
 and flats for a fun spring look or

 dress it up with some strappy sandals and a clutch for a night out.  

What your most versatile piece of wardrobe?

Spring Statement Makers

I love bold accessories. My motto is the crazier the better. I tend 
to not wear earrings much but I love dressing up an 
outfit with a unique necklace or some wrist candy. Here are some 
tasteful but funky pieces that I am lusting over!

Spring Sandals

Being fashionably in this season doesn't mean you have to go broke. In my quest to find amazing spring sandals I discovered that I can still get those amazing spring looks for less.

For college students or those just on a budget- it is still possible to look a million bucks this spring. Here are a few of my favorites for under $50.

Color-block

Sure color-blocking has taken the world by storm in the clothes we wear but in our shoes too? Yes, color-locking is going to be a popular trend this season. Whether you're wearing sandals or wedges, this season expect to see color-blocking everywhere from the office to the beach. The color-block wedges above add a perfect pop of spring colors to any outfit and are only $50 from heels.com.

Detailed Sandals

Simple sandals are a thing of the past. You better get rid of those flip flops. You can now accessorize with what you wear on your feet. Check out these cream tasseled sandals from H&M. They can take a pair of jeans and t-shirt to a whole new level. Did I mention they are affordable- only $15.

Patterned Sandal Wedges

Patterned wedges were big in the fall. Why wouldn't they be big in the spring? This trend will continue to be popular this spring. From Aztec designs to polka dots, I imagine everyone will be owning at least one pair of patterned sandals wedges this spring. These funky stripes and floral designed wedges above are from ModCloth.com and won't break the bank. Only $40.

The Infamous Platform

The 70's are back and they are better than ever. This season expect to see the revival of the platform-in funky colors too. Wear them with short shorts, a maxi or fun dress and you will be sure to turn heads. In a good way. These bright pink platforms from H&M are funky and perfect for this spring. Get them in stores for only $25.

Studded Sandals

On your clothes, on your purses and for jewelry. Why not on your shoes too? This look can make any look edgy. Similar looks can go for near a hundred dollars. No worries though. H&M has you covered again with their studded sandals costing only $15.

Bright Colors

Sure pastels are great but bright colors are here to stay. Say yes to bold hues, primary colors and neons this spring. Check out Steve Maddens Turquoise Sandals above. At only $50 dollars these shoes are sexy and fun. Pair them with some skinny jeans and a light sweater for casual spring look.

Jelly-Revival

Jellies are so ten years ago right?- wrong. While I loved this trend then, I love it even more now. Sandals or wedges the jelly look will be worn everywhere this season. Looking to dress up a look or keep it casual- this shoe is right for you. These Jelly sandals from River Island can be found at asos.com for only $32. The bling makes them even better!

March Lust List

Spring is here-officially. This season I am loving colored jeans. 

While I have selected colors, I am dying to get a pair of mint colored skinnies.
Also loving--any type of sheer blouse. They are comfortable and versatile.
