Who says you can’t dress like a cake? I’m totally stealing this sweet ladylike look and pairing it with a simple shift dress. Embrace the girly.

Happy Friday and happy College Colors Day. Just wanted to end the week with a few pretty accessories that just so happen to be GW Buff & Blue colors. But really who doesn’t love the classic combination of navy and gold?

Hi there! It’s Liz from the fashion and style blog, Sequins & Stripes, and I am thrilled to be filling in while Nikki is on her summer vacay. When it comes to packing for a summer trip, there isn’t much that you have to pack to ensure a stylish stay. Here are my summer packing essentials to make sure you are on trend during those hot days:

I’m heading to Wisconsin tomorrow to spend a week with family on Lake Michigan. (And I’ve got some great guest posts lined up for you!) I except it to be just super beautiful and relaxing. I also think that I’ll spend most days in a bikini, t-shirt, shorts, and flip flops, however I can’t stop dreaming about outfits that are just a little more luxurious. Think leopard print, saturated colors, metallics and layered jewelry. I’ll have to plan an occasion for playing dress up like this when I get back!
