Top Ten Trends of Summer {No. 4 Mules}

The mule sandal is my pick for Summer Trend No. 4 {see No. 1-3 here}.  I was a bit turned off by this one in  the beginning cause it brought back bad memories of those big black clunky slip on sandals from my high school days-- you know the ones.  But then I was at DSW at the mall the other weekend and tried on these Charles David ones and actually liked them quite a bit.  Thinking about ordering them actually.  

Anyway ... below you'll find the works - inspo pics, a roundup of my picks, and a few outfits I put together ...

I'm currently craving black and white basics that I can mix and match together to create endless outfits {I'm imagining that jumpsuit with that white blazer and those zara heels together!} or use one piece as a base for an outfit and then add color and texture in with other pieces in my wardrobe!  Whatever your style- you have to admit these items would be great staples in anyone's wardrobe!

Happy shopping!

Happy Monday y'all!  Hope everyone had a great weekend and a fabulous Mother's Day! Today we're diving back into the Summer Trend series with a new trend to try this summer -- Yellow!  This hue seems to be popping up everywhere this Spring and it's going to stick around this Summer too.  Seen on celebs (if Emma Stone is doing it then you should probably be doing it too!), bloggers, and fashionistas everywhere.  I love this trend because you can go balls deep if you'd like (a la Mira Duma in head to toe yellow pant suit) or if you just want to dip your toes in the trend so to speak-- just add one yellow accessory, shoe, or bag to your outfit!  This is a trend anyone can try!
