There is something about fringe that lets me unleash my inner boho babe. While some may only associate fringe with festival season, this trend has gone from casual and cool this past summer,  to seriously chic for fall. During fashion week, I saw leather fringe on cool jackets, leather skirts,  and boots proving that fringe is not just for the Coachella crowd anymore. If you are a little weary about trying this trend, I recommend starting small, like with a fringe necklace. The look is so fun and you can totally rock it without committing fully to the trend. 

Speaking of fall trends, I have teamed up with Meagan, from Because of Jackie and a couple of lovely blogger's for a $100 Gift Card giveaway to J.Crew! You can never go wrong wearing J.Crew anytime of the year.

More Pieces of Me Manic Monday, On the Daily Espress Manic Monday, Style to Inspire

The Most Effortless Trend Of The Season

Romper: Peter Som for Kohl's // Sandals: Sam & Libby for Target // Bag: Tory Burch // Jewelry: Michael Kors watch, David Yurman cuff, C.Wonder bracelets

I’d say the romper is a true example of what summer should be like ~ easy breezy!  It is a perfect staple to get you through summer.  

As a little girl, I would wear terry cloth rompers almost everyday during summer.  My favorite was a purple strapless romper that my mom bought for me at Walmart.  Although my style has evolved quite a bit since then, I secretly enjoy feeling like that carefree happy little girl when I slip on my adult onesie romper.

Time to shake off winter's doldrums and spring into action. Spring and summer are my favorite time of year.  Long days at the beach, little white dresses, baring our toes in pretty sandals...I can go on forever  which is why I am so excited about Essie's spring collection 2012. Inspired by the the "self-made woman" who "knows what she wants" and exactly "how to get it" says Essie. As the summer heats up, this is your perfect excuse to try on a sexy, sizzling shade. Try a hot orange mani or pedi – it’s less of a commitment than a bright orange dress, I think, and a whole lot more fun! Here is the line up...

From top, left to right: Navigate Her: new growth green, A Crewed Interest: pretty pursue-able peach, To Buy Or Not To Buy: limitless lilac shimmer. From bottom, left to right: Tour de Finance: incandescent fuchsia futures, Ole Caliente: spicy scarlet fever, Orange, It's Obvious!: headstrong outspoken orange.
