It's about time to bring out your lightweight dresses from storage, because warm weather is on its way! Even if we aren't there just yet, you can start pairing them with a comfy pair of cowboy boots and a jacket. I'm absolutely loving my new brightly patterned dress by Amanda Uprichard. See below for where you can get the look too!

Bon Voyage

Featuring: Hayden Reis

Bon Voyage... yeah, "Good Trip," to no where! This was clearly a day of dreaming. When I do finally get a chance to cruise on over to the beach, I WILL BE packing my new favorite little Anchor Wristlet, by Hayden Reis. 

"Hayden Reis bags are functional, durable, water resistant and stylish beach/gym/travel totes and accessories made of some of the highest quality Dacron sail cloth in the country. MADE IN THE USA!" These bags make a great gift and are worth the buy with Memorial Day vacations coming up so soon. 

For all of you Real Housewives of Beverly Hill fans, Hayden Reis is now an exclusive brand now being sold in the new KYLE by Alene Too store. Great stuff!

Seasonal Slicks

We all hold a special place in our hearts for leather. Generally black or brown, it's a staple in just about any closet. As of late, its been transformed into the latest spring craze and another classic in the making. Whether it be a jacket, skirt, dress, pant, or short, it's bright, pastel color is what makes it acceptable for the warm weather to come.

Stand on Issues

Raise awareness and funding for some of our world’s most complex issues and keep your feet fashionable with 'BANGS Shoes'.

Fellow Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sister, Hannah Davis, is the Founder of this amazing organization.

Hannah's story began when she taught English in China's eastern Jiangsu Province after graduating from Clemson in 2009. Hannah noticed olive green, army-style shoes worn by thousands of construction and field workers across China, and her ideas started flowing...

Inspired by the utilitarian style of these canvas Chinese shoes, Hannah decided to create a brand that would not only offer high-quality, funky shoes, but also connect people to an ideology she felt passionate about. Combining philanthropy with business to form a social enterprise, Hannah developed a stylish shoe with each color representing a different cause and nonprofit organization. A portion of the profits made from each pair of shoes is invested in its nonprofit partner.

Today's post highlights blue BANGS which represent clean water and invest in efforts by Drop in the Bucket, a registered 501(c)3. BANGS and Drop in the Bucket believe clean water to be a fundamental human right. Check out blue "clean water" BANGS that invest in efforts to provide clean water to those without. You can also make a direct donation to Drop in the Bucket by clicking here.

You can get your hands on a pair of BANGS at Hudson Trail Outfitters in the MD/ VA /DC area!

Make sure to check out one of Bethesda's newest boutiques: Bethesda Scooters & Boards. This eclectic pop-up store offers scooters, skateboards, and surfboards, located on Woodmont Avenue.

Rock the Colorblock

I got Tigers on my mind today. Purple and Orange inspired with a touch of pink. Color Blocking is an awesome way to pair unexpected, solid colored items with other unexpected, solid colored items in your closet.
