I think I speak for many women at the moment when I say I'm still really loving the galdiator shoe trend.  Gladiator flats are so easy to slip into, whether it's a day of perusing the mall or lunch with the girls, they just work.  This year the focus is really on cuffs, and ankle embellishment.  I came across this beautiful Kelsi Dagger gladiators, but for those looking for a less expensive version, head over to Aldo for something super similar.

As the summer quickly approaches (it's June already!? whoa) I find it harder and harder to stay focused on a more formal attire, and not slip into more casual outfits.  The heat, the humidity, the season; it all makes me want to don something funkier with a carefree attitude to go along with it.  I put myself in these heels in the morning but ended up rocking flats (which is so unlike me!) by the afternoon.

 
Do the seasons and weather affect your fashion 'tude?



I have created new items for my Etsy shop and am sharing them exclusively with you all first!  These are the first A.Co Designs embellished tees.  The extra long tees feature a great chiffon ruffled collar or double rosettes on the lapel area.  The jersey is stretchy and super comfy, and for just $16, it's an easy and inexpensive way to dress up any outfit.

Tee & ruffle/rosette colours are customizable - just ask.

Seduction jeans, Bamboo gladiators (not shown, but last seen here),
Suzy necklace, Louis Ardene watch, gifted bracelet, Aldo & Hot Diamonds rings

I found the fabric for this top on a recent jaunt to the fabric store.  I'd seen the material several times in my previous trips there, but didn't buy any (although I was very drawn to it).  I finally realized what to make with it: a tee!  It turned out great; it's a stretchy jersey material, boat-necked in an a-line cut.  Great for casual days, with jeans or leggings, a throw-on-and-go type of thing.  Perfect.
