A couple of weekends ago, I went to the mall to fix my phone at the Apple store and saw a beautifully decorated window with a selection of jewelry I could not say no to. Despite promising myself not to go in any stores, I felt as if I simply had to and I was escatic about what I "accidentally" got myself into. Not even aware of the fact I was walking into Kendra Scott, a company I have been familiar with for a long time as I used to rent their jewelry from rent-the-runway, I was obsessed with every piece in site. What I was most excited about was the Color Bar, a new element of the brand that allows customers to customize any type of jewelry, controlling the color, type, size, etc. and then watch the store associates create it right there in the store. Not only is the jewelry beautiful but it is personalized and makes the shopping experience that much more fun. Above our some of my favorite items and a pair of earrings I bought that day (top left). Visit the Kendra Scott website or a store near you to see what the buzz is about and find the jewelry item that suits you!
4th of July Baking
While this is a little different from our typical fashion/style posts, the week leading up to the 4th is all about getting in the festive, American spirit. One of our favorite things to do is bake, and what better occasion than July 4th?
Every year I try to come up with something to make but always resort back to this one cake. This flag cake, courtesy of Ina Garten, is the best dessert and really fun to make.

Trending: One-Pieces
One pieces are a simple way to avoid stressing over how you look in a bikini this summer. Especially with July 4th coming up, I'm sure most of us can agree that isn't always easy. Try going for a cutout one piece, like this one from target, that brings the attention away from your stomach and onto your face.
This narrowing shape is sliming on ALL body types. Finding one with a busy and bright pattern is especially flattering as it hides anything you don't want to show on your stomach.
This suit is very similar to some of the one pieces that Mara Hoffman made this summer but is literally a fraction of the cost. Let us know what you think by commenting below and following us on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest!

Navigating SHOPBOP
Shopbop always offers a really nice selection of pieces and accessories coming from an array of designers and incorporating a variety of different styles. They also always have an incredible sale that is filled with rows upon rows of really cute shoes, tops, dresses and everything in between. However, my biggest issue with their sale is that it takes at least a full hour to sort through the 40 pages of apparel that are on sale.
SO, to make everyones life a little bit easier, we pulled a few items that we've been eyeing for a while. Click the links below to see if there are any you love!

Skirtin' Around
A super hot trend right now is a skirt and matching crop top set. BCBG Max Azria has an amazing selection of these sets for the summer, most of which are 40% off! After multiple trips to BCBG, drooling over the chic cropped jackets, and sets, Lindsay finally went for the purchase. This high wasited blue and white patterned skirt shares a matching top that is also very flattering.
She decided in order to make the most of the purchase, the skirt and shirt need to be worn separately when possible. Yesterday, for work, she paired the skirt with a simple, blush Madewell blouse. She added her new H&M heels (that were less than $30), her stylish Karen Walker sunglasses, and a bunch of her favorite jewelry from Neely by NVB. Also from Neely by NVB is the Brown Evie bag seen here, that is a perfect size for an everyday work bag.
What also makes this bag so special is that the colors of the bag represent each school that Neely's team visits on their college tours. While Lindsay obviously loves the Washington and Lee Generals Blue and White, she decided the Brown University's colors were more neutral and would work well with any outfit, as it does here.

Item of the Week: Clare V. Clutch
I came across this Clare V. Clutch the other day on Revolve and instantly knew it was a must for the blog. While some people prefer to be more subtle with their accessories, others (like me) prefer to wear more neutral clothing matched with something that pops. Whether its jewelry, a bag, shoes or a cute pair of sunglasses, find the balance that makes you most comfortable.
This Margot Flat Clutch in electric blue is perfect for the summer as it is a color that truly never goes out of style (or season). Try pairing it with a white shift dress or a soft gray ensemble to see the best outfits come to life.
