One Outfit: Day to Night

One Outfit: Day to Night by thelifeoftheparty featuring long skirts

Juvia white singlet, $54 / J Crew jean jacket / Wet Seal long skirt / Black flat / Scoop flat shoes / Stella Dot tote bag / Belmondo clutch, $68 / Stella Dot chain necklace / Stella Dot necklace

The maxi skirt is one of the easiest pieces to take from day to night by just changing a few elements of your look. Our first look is perfect for a day of shopping and lunch with the girls. Wearing a simple pair of flip flops and a fashionable tote finishing the look with a fabulous necklace with a pop of color. Switch it up for the evening by simply changing those accessories and adding a d’orsay flat and you are ready to go out for an evening with the significant other in your life!

What are some of your favorite transition wardrobe staples?

Simple Summer Style

Simple Summer Style by thelifeoftheparty featuring Birkenstock

American Vintage white t shirt, $71 / Aéropostale denim shorts / Stella Dot initial jewelry / Stella Dot necklace / J.Crew sunglasses / Birkenstock home decor

These jean shorts and v-neck tee are two summer staples I’m certain most women have gracing their closets. I’ve been all over the casual ensemble these days and this outfit is one of my favorite go-tos. Boring, you say? Maybe a little. Comfortable? Yes!

Birkenstocks have made a comeback but I just wasn’t sure if I was willing to revisit the trend once again, that was until I tried a pair on and remembered how incredibly comfortable they are. Not only that but also, I think women have really updated the fashion statement with these sandals. I’m seeing them worn both casually and a little dressed up. So maybe I’m just drinking the KoolAid too but they are officially on my list.

How do you feel about Birkenstocks?

Sunny Beach Days Are Here Again!

Sunny Beach Days by thelifeoftheparty featuring Kate Spade

Topshop white shirt / J Crew swim wear / J Crew swim wear / Tory burch shoes / Kate spade handbag / Jane Norman floppy hat, $22 / Kate Spade sunglasses / COOLA Suncare sun care / COOLA-6oz Sport Continuous Spray SPF 35 Citrus Mimosa

By just adding a few small but noticeable items to your beach look you can spend the day looking oh so fab while relaxing by the pool (or chasing kids poolside like I will be doing). I recently came up with a look by J.Crew using their Cove Floral (See Post here) and here they have that same pattern in a twist bandeau top bikini. Considering the pattern in the swim suite I went simple on a Topshop white beach cover and white Tory Burch Ricki flip flop with logo embossed studs. The Kate Spade New York Vita Limoni Aria tote will finish this poolside ensemble. Inexpensive? It is not. But if you are a lover of those brands it may be considered investment pieces for your style since they are of great quality.

What are some of your favorite looks for the beach. Glamming it up with a tunic and trendy beach bag? Or simple tank and surf shorts? Tell us about it?
