Westworld Inspired Prairie Style

Westworld is back, and my obsession with the series has reached peak levels.

I can’t get enough of it, the amazing characters, sets and of course the style.

The women of Westworld have a bit more of a prairie vibe than a wild wild west type of fashion sense, a trend that I am oh so happy to get on-board with and don’t mind snagging some inspiration from. It’s the perfect fusion of Western and Boho and it’s oh so wearable.

Think light airy fabrics paired with layered cuts, frills, pioneer worthy lace trims, delicate floral prints, high necklines, pretty calico yoke blouses, long hemlines, gingham prints and Little House on the Prairie-esc patchwork patterns in sun-faded shades.

Prairie style is one part romantic and feminine and one part wild rugged free-spirit. It’s boho meets pure hard working country.

The key to pulling off the Westworld inspired trend is all in the styling. Wear a yoke print blouse with a pair of boyfriend jeans or a pretty prairie dress with a pair of chunky boots or a long tiered prairie skirt with a ruffled top. Denim is always a good choice to pair with this trend, make sure it has some good sun-faded texture, and you can never go wrong with a saddle bag by your side. Experiment with mixing different sized prairie florals that are in the same color range to create prairie perfection. Stay away from cowboy boots so that your look doesn’t become too western, instead opt for wood sandals, lace up boho boots, suede booties and please NO cowboy hats!

Western Vibes

This season let your inner chic cowgirl run wild with the Modern Western Trend.

It’s a little less Daisy Duke and a little more refined Ranch Hand.

A combination of Old West details merged with fashion forward designs. Think silver-buckled belts that cinch your waist, polished boots, sandals with western details and denim shirts buttoned to the throat.

The easiest way to incorporate this elevated western style into your wardrobe is by adding one piece at a time. Something as simple as adding a western buckle belt or western style belt to your classic jeans can help you get in the ranch-ready mindset.

To really rope-in this trend you only need to invest in a few key pieces – a great western detailed belt, a western-esc boot, bootie or western inspired sandal and a crisp over-stitched denim shirt or jacket. Look for pearlescent snap buttons and rustle up plenty of tan and brown leather.

A bandanna tied at the neck and vintage turquoise silver chunky pieces will help bring the look together but keep it chic, remember that less is more. This isn’t about going full on Rodeo, instead, it’s the sort of quiet nod to western glamour that packs a real style punch.

The finishing touch? Add this season’s favorite accessory, a saddlebag or medicine-bag handbag to, well, anything and you’re done.

Lemon Print Pieces for Spring

They say “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade!” or perhaps make limoncello. But this summer, the mantra changes even more becoming: “when life gives you lemons, wear them!”

Not only is the bold citrus hue of Yellow hot this season, so is the actual manifestation of the color in the form of Lemon Prints!

Lemon prints have been a favorite of Italian designers for years just take a look at any collection from just about any season of Dolce & Gabbana or Versace.

Inspired by Southern Italy’s Amalfi Coast which is renowned for its sweet delicious lemons that grow in abundance from trees that cling from the cliffs, for decades Italian designers have embraced the lemon as THE quintessentially Italian Spring/Summer print.

I’ve always been a big fan of bold kitschy prints once the weather turns warm (Cactus prints, Pineapple prints, Cherry Prints, etc) and this season is no different. Lemon print pieces for Spring have been on my fashion radar lately mainly because I have been spotting them EVERYWHERE, in shops, online, on Instagram and of course on the runways.

What’s not to love about this freshly squeezed trend, it bright, full of chic Italian style inspo and perfectly suited to Spring/Summer making lemon prints a quick easy way to add some zest and freshen up your wardrobe for Spring!

Stylists Tip: The quickest way to up the chic factor of any dress is to ditch the self-belt (a belt that comes with a garment and is made of the same material as the garment). Instead opt for a belt with texture or contrast to create visual interest. The self-belt that came with this dress was a fabric sash that basically disappeared it didn’t really add any value to the look, by styling the dress with this Chloe Suede belt it creates more of a waistline, breaks up the pattern and makes the entire look feel more luxe.

Take a look at these AMAZING Lemon Print Pieces for Spring that will have you wanting Lemon Prints to be your main squeeze this season! Click to SHOP:

How to Wear Stripes Like a Boss

So you may have heard, Stripes are hot for Spring 2018.

Designers painted the runways with big, bold stripes from vertical to horizontal, broad banned and pencil thin, vibrant, bold and colorful in everything from dual tones to the full rainbow stripes are EVERYWHERE this season.

The word “stripes” somehow instantly strikes fear into the hearts of every gal. We were taught from an early age that stripes make you look bigger- and no one wants that so most people avoid them all together.

I’m here to tell you to throw out those outdated fashion rules. It’s ok to wear stripes- they just have to be the RIGHT type of stripes. I know it’s scary but I’m here to help.

There are a few tricks you can use to wear stripes and rock them like a boss, here is how.

The key with stripes (as with any other trend) is to choose a silhouette that flatters your frame and brings focus to your physical pluses rather than drawing attention to the parts of your body that you would rather camouflage. So you don’t have the most “runway” type frame, well neither do I but you can still wear stripes! I rock my stripes in a silhouette with a fitted waist and full skirt, a tried and true silhouette for me.

If you wear stripes vertically they can be slimming and even appear to add a few inches to your height. Horizontal stripes strategically placed at your bust and hips can create an optical illusion of a smaller waist. Wider stripes tend to add a bit of width so they are perfect for creating the illusion of a larger bust or to create the illusion of curves on boyish figures.

Stripes of varying sizes can help create curves where you may not have them while still flattering your natural figure and smaller stripes can create a narrowing illusion.

Try mixing and matching your stripes (yes, you can wear stripes of different sizes and colors in the same outfit!), go head to toe or just use them as an accent. The fun of fashion is experimenting!

Still hearing your mother’s warnings echoing in your ears? Stripes still too scary? Try adding stripes in baby steps. Start by adding them with accessories like shoes and handbags! With a little practice you’ll be painting the town striped in no time!
