Trend Fingers Love: Dainty Rings

Skull Ring, Zigzag Midi Ring from Urban Outfitters | Cross Ring from Forever 21

The minimalistic look of delicate rings complement fingers without overpowering them like large cocktail rings can often times do. Small, dainty rings are a must-have because of their versatility. Not only can they stand alone, but they look great when paired with midi rings or stacked on top of each other for a boho style. Below are my picks for the top dainty rings to have:

Going along with the 90s fashion reboot, backpacks have a place in your closet once again. Backpacks and totes are perfect accessories for beach weather because they can carry a lot of your summer necessities in a seasonally pleasing fashion. Here are my picks for some of the best backpacks to have in your closet. My personal favorite is the clear and black Free People backpack.

Office-Appropriate Leopard Print

Working in an office environment causes me to start my weekday mornings with a simple question of whether or not my outfit is work appropriate.

90's Fashion is Back

Adios millennium, we've taken a time warp back to the late 80s and early 90s. Trends are all about bringing back the past right now, and I for one am feeling extremely nostalgic for the simpler times. Remember when kids actually played outside? It's hard to imagine life before the iPhone, but there once was a time when there wasn't an "app for that." My first cell phone was a Nokia that was still black and white with the snake game on it, and I remember thinking it was so high tech because the backlight was blue instead of the standard white. Wouldn't it be something if those came back, too?

Do I look like an old school Gap advert or what?

Okay, so maybe that's a bit extreme, but fashion is definitely showing a love for the past. After all, everything that's old is always new again at some point. Fashion is an endless cycle, which is why I'm big on keeping [read: hoarding] clothes. Everywhere I turn, I'm reminded of my youth. There are a few key pieces you'll need if you are into the current throwback style. While I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a fannypack--Urban Outfitters calls them "belt bags" now--there are a handful of items I have my 90s eye on.

1. Backpacks
2. Jelly shoes
3. Wicker sandals
4. Overalls
5. Clear bags
6. Printed/funky shades
7. Keds
8. Cropped shirts and high bottoms
9. Denim on denim

Note** From the list above, I am interested in all of the items except wicker sandals. I refused to wear those even as a child.

What do you think about this fashion style? Does it bring back childhood fashion disasters or successes?

Trend to Try: Printed Frame Sunglasses

Accessories are a quick and easy way to spice up an otherwise plain outfit. Funky bags, shoes, and jewelry can be tossed with a basic tee and jeans to take the look from simple to fun, so why not do the same with frames? This week's IFB project is all about showing the love for shades, which is perfect since sunglasses and readers are filled with personality this season. They vary in shape, size, color, and now print. Don't be afraid to experiment!

Where to Buy

The best part of this trend is that it's super affordable. It's so frustrating when a trend you want to try is out of your price range, and the cheaper alternatives are either still too high or don't match your taste. I never spend more than $20 on sunglasses or nonprescription glasses, mainly because they are so easy to lose or break. I purchased all of my readers and shades from Forever 21, but Target and Charlotte Russe have quite a few pairs that caught my eye as well. And as always, for anything funky, Urban Outfitters is always an option.

How to Style

The thing with sunglasses is it's okay to mix and match. That mantra applies to fashion in general right now, actually. Mixing prints continues to stay on trend, which means there's free reign to grab the craziest pair of shades and wear them with your already pattern-happy outfit. A few tips of mine on styling printed (and solid) frames coincide pretty well with my thoughts on mixing patterns:

Solid readers mix well with any casual outfit, particularly a standard (graphic or solid) tee with cutoffs or jeans. A bold lip will polish off the look.
Animal print frames are versatile and can be worn with any type of style, whether girly or edgy. My favorite pairing is with a predominantly black and neutral toned outfit topped with a denim jacket.
Floral frames complement the flirty look of a daytime dress and wedges, but also look great with a peplum top and printed pants.
Geometric, bright frames have a summer feel to them, so pair these fun shades with a loose tank top, neon bandeau, and shorts.

I used to stick to one pair of sunglasses, but changing them up each day is a fun way to spice up my eye wear.

Easy DIY: Dip-Dye Ombré T-Shirt

It all started by seeing this top on Urban:

You know what I love about the ombré trend? It brings back childhood memories of spending summers outside doing arts and crafts. I very clearly remember sitting in my parents's driveway with a bucket full of dye and spinning an old shirt in it with a stick. The shirt didn't come out how I wanted it to, but half the fun with DIY projects is the actual hands-on part. I tried my hand at the art of dyeing shirts again, and this time, I like how it came out.
