The lovely Peacock Necklace paired with a cobalt top



 
Midnight Bloom scarf (black & white scarf with a cobalt trim)

The Madison Tech Bag - this has become a quick fav of mine!
It's so chic & classic being all black, but it has a muted flair with all these leopard accents!!

scarves - the essence of versatility

I have to admit: I never was a big fan of wearing a scarf as of last year. I knew of only 1 way to wear it & it was only suitable for the fall / winter in my mind. Not a year round piece.

Yes - I must live in the back woods of Florida, or under a rock. What was I thinking?!?!

Case & point: meet Stella & Dot's scarves.



 
 
 
 
While there are tons of ways to wear a scarf the traditional way, here's a quick video of 10 ways....
 

 


Let's discuss some "out of the box ways"!

Way #1: a sarong
(this is our adorable CEO, Jessica Herrin - google her)
 
Did you catch how easy that was to wear it as a sarong!?
 
 
Way #2: a dress / vest
 
 
So all you really do here is add the belt to make it a dress.
Omit the belt, and the front opens like a vest :)
(Picture taken from Stella & Dot's instagram feed of style! Just include #stelladotstyle and your picture may be chosen!)
 
 
Way #3: a skirt
 
 
Leave it to my interior designing guru friend, Emily to make it a skirt!
 
Here's a close up:
 
Brilliant!!!!
I love how it has a bohemian vibe to it.
 
 
That is only 3 'out of the box' ways to wear our scarves. The possibilities really are endless.
 
I'll be doing another post this week on options for how to wear as a TOP!!!!!
 
 
Here are some important facts:
  • the scarf measures 40" x 80"
  • it is 100% viscose (need to clean it? dry clean it)
  • it is $59
 
For $59 you get a garment that will literally take you from spring to summer to winter to fall.
 
That's one amazing piece to add to your wardrobe, in my opinion.
 
 
Which pattern is your favorite!?
 
How do you feel about scarves? Love them or leave them?

fashion & fitness friday

TGIF - for real. What a week!

What's on your fitness agenda for today!?
The little man & I will be logging a few miles on the jogging strolling. Our weirdo weather here in Florida has dropped to a tolerable temperature where going outside doesn't result in an immediate sweat fest.

Have you taken the time to look into barre fitness classes or dvds? You really should. It's a fusion of dance (duh, ballet) & pilates. I love it. It is one of those workouts that constantly leaves me "shakey" to the point I feel like I'll fall over. Love that feeling.

Go read about Physique57 & The Ballet Physique. Search your area for Pure Barre or Xtend Barre classes.

While you're clicking around, have you entered my Stella & Dot giveaway!? Today is the LAST DAY to enter!!! Get on it :)

So what fashion trends of 2013 are you going to try!?

As said by Glamour mag....here's the top wearable trends for spring! I DARE you to try something new :)

1. Bermuda Shorts

SHOP



2. Black & White

want to throw in some accessory options?
Stella & Dot Fiona Earrings

Stella & Dot Heiress Hoops in Hematite

see ALL options HERE


3. Peekaboo


4. Statement Sunglasses



5. Bold Stripes



6. Luxe Leather




7. Beautiful Beading


so, if you would rather not wear beaded clothing...you can incorporate this trend by wearing beaded accessories! flats, bag, headband, or jewelry!

look at this gorgeous piece!
Stella & Dot Avalon Fringe



8. Short Suits


modest length short, of course! do not combine this look with the "peekaboo" trend....your butt cheek should not be playing peekaboo with the hem line. just sayin'....



9. Sporty Dresses


with the neckline of these dresses, you should TOTALLY combine with a "pop of color"

like this necklace....
Stella & Dot's Spring Awakening



10. Flats & Low Heels



Spill your beans! Which trend will you try!? Which trend will you avoid the plague!?
