I got Paris on my mind. Why you ask? Well...my husband and I will be heading to Paris and Florence at the end of August! This will be both of our first times over seas. We have been talking about a Europe trip forever. And with no real vacation plans this year we decided to book a trip overseas. It's really perfect timing as we will be celebrating my husband's 31st in Paris and about a month away from my 30th. To be honest ever since we booked our tickets I've been thinking about what to pack. Stripes and monochrome are on that list.

I'm no stranger to the feminine tomboy look. I love pairing overly feminine pieces, like this Kate Spade top, with harder pieces like a leather jacket and boyfriend type of jeans. Keeping it feminine is all about adding a sweet and light heel. For me it's my go to chunky white wedge sandals from Dolce Vita.

Weekend Wear: Jumpsuit Style

It was another beautiful weekend in New York! So the husband and I decided to spend Saturday sitting in the sun drinking beers in our favorite local spot. For such a relaxing day I decided to take comfort to the max with my Tobi.com jumpsuit. Jumpsuits are typically dressed up with a pair of sexy stilettos, but for me on the weekends I'm a creature of comfort...so I strapped on a pair of sandal creepers. If these pants were shorter I would have totally worn flats with them. I love that this jumpsuit is sexy, which is perfect for a day/night date with your special someone, but has this island relaxed feel to it. Paired with a simple sandal and jean jacket is the way to go to dress down this look.

Suns out. Shoulders out. I'm all over the off the shoulder trend again. Last Summer I showed you how to wear an off the shoulder shirt to work (read here) but this season I'm about the bare shoulder dresses. These dresses are the perfect summer day dress pair with sneaks for a day out, switch to a pair of heels for a dinner date. I took this Tobi.com out for a spin finally on Sunday as temperatures reached 70 degrees. This dress is super light weight and was just right for enjoying a walking around the hood eating tacos and ice cream.

Style Guide: How to Wear Bell Sleeves

This Spring season it's all about the 70's bell sleeve trend. Of course no one does 70s vibe bell sleeves better then Free People (some of my favorites here and here). But if you are a little weary of rocking this look, you can update this piece with some simple key statement makers.

How I Wore the Look:

1. Use Layering Pieces. I'm totally digging the 3/4 sleeve leather jackets. Mine is from Zara but some designers like Rebecca Minkoff have great stable pieces as well. Quarter sleeve jackets allow you to layer the bell sleeve while showcasing what the shirt is all about...the bell.

2. Accessories. Play around with a throwback accessory like the bandana. Tie it around your neck for motor girl feel. Have fun and do a funky shoe like a pompom on the toe like the Bettye by Bettye Muller shoes.

3. Skinny Jeans. To down play the 70s feel, do pair it with a pair of skinny jeans. If you want to play up the 70s vibe try a pair of flare jeans.

Would you wear this trend?
