Style Files: Ethereal + Edgy Beachfront Looks

March 30, 2012

Posted 09/12

{Ethereal – 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 }

{Edgy – 1 || 2 || 3 || 4 || 5}

With this beautiful weather this weekend we are hoping to take advantage of the lake we live near by that has a beachside! I lean torwards the one piece looks (the idea that less skin is more mystery;)) and dreamed up a few beach side options for you all. And many of them are steals! Which would you go for? Edgy or Ethereal?

Fun links for your weekend:

1. I love that Stephanie and I were on the same page with our DIY’s yesterday! So cool.
2. This looks like the perfect summer party to me:) Dancing and the outdoors!
3. Easter in a box for grown ups or for kids. Brilliant.
4. I am pretty sure Payless has never had cuter shoes .
5. Finally, a one stop shop for scarves and 50 ways to tie them!
6. My new favorite shop for little ones.

We send out helpful tips and resources, and inside news just for our email fam.

Loving those H&M aviators. You can’t beat $10! But I think I’d go ethereal. Great finds!

Ethereal. I love me some polka dots. I’m also leaning toward a one-piece this year… maybe a cute retro one?

I’m a fan of both, but those ethereal sandals from H&M are calling my name! I might have to stop at the mall later!

Enter to win a pair of earrings from Wendy Mink Jewelry (valued at $123)!
