Trending : The Envelope Skirt

If you watch the fashion trends, then I'm sure you've seen the new take on the wrap skirt. The Envelope skirt is a super cute asymmetrical cut skirt. This cut flatters most shapes and is being seen all over the runway. This style skirt comes in a variety of lengths, textures, and colors! I was sitting down with a cup of coffee and came across a post in the latest edition of Lucky Magazine! Here's a picture via Instagram!

 
I really love the nautical print skirt featured in Lucky! It is Cotton, $289 and will be available mid February at whit,saks.com! Check out these other cute envelope skirts! Details below on where to grab one for yourself! There is a fit and price for everyone! What are your thoughts on this trend?

The polka dot trend is such a classic! This pattern has been around since the beginning of fashion. From big dots to small spots they are everywhere. This pattern can go from classy to fun just by adding the right accessories. If you are hesitant to cover yourself in these dots, then you can easily opt for the dotted accessories! Everyone can pull off this trend, so don't feel overwhelmed if you are worried about head to toe dots! Just grab a cute handbag or pair of shoes and flaunt your new dotted look! Here are a few of my picks!

15 under $50 : Tops for Fall

With no time for myself I seem to gravitate toward late night shopping and browsing on the Internet! Working at home and home schooling my youngest son during the day doesn't leave much time for anything else. By late afternoon I have to prepare myself to stand over my oldest and make sure his homework is done and that he doesn't irritate and torture (not literally) his little brother. My boys are a full time job themselves! After dinner ( home cooked and takeout) I'm so sleepy that I barely have time to spend with my husband before I am ready to get cozy in my bed and wrap myself in my blankets. When my head hits the pillow you might as well stick a fork in me because I'm done!

While browsing for some cute fall tops I came across several I loved. Here are 15 I picked to share with you and they are all under $50. How great is it to look amazing and not break the bank! Here are my 15 for $50! Check below for prices and where to find these looks. What styles will you be wearing this fall?

It's All About The Nautical

I know I've mentioned this before, but I'm telling you again...I love nautical inspired fashion right now. From anchors to ship wheels and all the pretty stripes this trend is one of my favorites. This sea worthy inspired trend with it's simple patters is a classic.

My grandfather was in the Navy when he was young, and my grandparents house was filled with nautical trinkets. Ship clocks, lighthouses, and a huge mirror made from a ships old wheel the nautical feeling was all around you. That mirror is still hanging in the living room of their old house, and has been there since I can remember. I love it!

Random bit of info for you...I was actually named after a song called "Brandy". My mom did change the spelling, so of course I'm Brandi with an "i" not a "y"! The song is about a girl who fell in love with a sailor.I'm putting it below so you can check it out if you haven't already heard it! Back to my point, and that is this...Nautical is still one of my favorites.



Here are a few cute Nautical inspired pieces. How do you feel about this trend? Is it a yay or nay?
