i have been looking for a summer hat.  i reached out via facebook to my peeps.

my requirements:

- wide wide brim

- thin material, breathes

- classic – mostly neutral but interesting

- no floppy – need ultimate sun coverage

i got lots of responses and i couldn’t believe it but, DUH i forgot to look at target.

i did, and i got a couple hats that were very reasonable and i LOVE them.

ciao ciao and happy shopping!

check out target’s latest summer wear:

thebrightbit.com had a fun time checking out some pieces from The Row.  Super expensive and Super fun to online browse / dream about / get modest inspiration from / check out MKA

this one is so springy pretty:

The Walking Company was kind enough to send me a pair of CUTE CUTE black clogs from their exclusive Dansko ProXP line.  I absolutely love them!  They are perfect for all types of occasions and they really really are so comfortable, while still being super stylish.

The Walking Company partnered with Dansko to create the Dansko ProXP, the newest innovation in Dansko’s Professional clog collection. Perfect for professional and casual users, the lighter, certified slip-resistant Dansko ProXP features a supportive and removable footbed for a softer feel on the foot.

While I was anxiously waiting for my new shoes to arrive, I visited my beautiful and expecting friend.  Guess what?  She was wearing the EXACT same shoes!  She told me that she had heard people raving about these shoes: nurses, teachers, moms, and cute prego ladies.  She told me it was perfect for anyone who is on their feet all day : super duper cute!  No one would ever know they are also comfort shoes!

She said that not only did the shoes help her feet feel better, but that it had helped her sore, hurting back through the final weeks of pregnancy!  She has a desk job and the Danskos helped correct her back and neck problems caused by her being pregnant + sitting all day.

When mine arrived in the mail and I started wearing them, I have to say I found this to be true.  I personally don’t like high heeled or wedged shoes because I am so clumsy.  I didn’t feel this with the Danskos!  They made me feel supported and FABULOUS!

For reals guys, I would highly suggest these shoes.  I LOVE them!

Here are some great deals and modest options from Old Navy:

wouldn’t it be fun one year to do an “anti-valentine” date outfit?

you know – using colors that are normally off limits on the day of pink and red.

i played with some green items {shock! before st. patricks and after christmas?!} i think they could definitely work.  i also think paired with the right shades – red even looks good.

ciao ciao and happy shopping!

Fossil has got some pretty cute things right now!

Loving this dress from Madewell right now. It’s hard to love that price tag though…

This wedding got me so excited!  Such a pretty simple affair.

My mind began to spin with wedding inspiration.

Mango has me going crazy with ideas for work outfits right now!  The jewelry especially is a steal right now.

I love options like these – they are great for re-mixing and they are a good combo for pretty + professional.

p.s. I cannot even handle this on trend and pretty $40.00 dress

I have a pair of old UGG snow boots that I continue to drag around California with me because I love them. I can’t give them up. What if I live somewhere snowy in a couple of years? If you have to go out in the snow you might as well be wearing a fun pair of boots. Whether its a classic boot or one with fun colors, you should have a snow boot you love enough to hold onto. Even if you move to California.

wedding season is just around the corner!

love this modest beautiful gown.

j-crew always has fashionable modest options or choices that can be easily altered.

here are some “Christmas party – worthy” red dresses i could NOT get over at ASOS.

Merry Christmas!!

classic. classy. winter – perfetto.

so pretty maternity!

A statement necklace is a great accessory when it comes to party season. They immediately dress any outfit up.  Kate Spade and J.Crew make my favorite jewelry.

If you’re going to a casual holiday party but want something a little blingy, go for a top with some sparkle. These tops would look great with jeans and heals. Sparkles always dress up a pair of jeans!

This is a great party dress. For new years eve? AND it’s available in plus sizes too!

It’s time to be thinking about those holiday parties. So to kick off the party season lets start with the “little”  black dress. The black dress is a great “go to” option. It’s classic and very easy to style . And chances are you’ve got one in your closet. Dress it up with a cute pair of tights and heals and have fun with the accessories.

i need ALL of these from beklina.

good lengths and necklines, no?

don’t forget to sign up for the bright bit giveaway!!

the winner of this headband will be announced tomorrow morning on thebrightbit.com

I’ve put together a few thanksgiving outfits. Whether you’re eating with roommates and friends, headed out to a restaurant or carving the turkey with your future in-laws, there’s an outfit for you.

• Thanksgiving outfits should be comfortable (you’re going to be eating a lot).
• Though the elastic waistband of sweats might be great for your expanding belly, make sure you feel confident and happy in your outfit!
• It’s the start of the holiday season, so be festive (that does not mean wearing a sweater with a turkey on it).
• Plan what you’re wearing early (you’ve got a week), not when there are five things that need to go into the oven.

I love boots. I look forward to fall, knowing I can wear boots everyday. You can wear them with anything and everything (I know, I do). They work with dresses and skirts to jeans and cords. Boots are definitely a great investment piece!

love this shirt cardigan and skirt!

all around $20!!

make sure to head over to thebrightbit.com today!

there is a customized dress of choice and holiday headband giveaway!!!!
