sporty spice would be proud //

if you were born in the 80's,
and you were into pop music in the 90's,
then you may have been in a make believe Spice Girls band - i was Sporty Spice!

now you understand why i so appreciate the "sport luxe" trend.
i have a deep love for Mel C. and love any trend majoring in comfort first.

give me leather pants and a rugby jersey. give me silk shorts with Converse.
give me a jeweled baseball cap and cotton sundress. give me a varsity jacket and a pair of heels.
...you get the point.

Maroon! or is it Burgundy?

i say maroon. you say burgundy.
regardless, this is my favorite color for fall.
and navy, always navy.

rise and shine.

day or night you too can shine... "bright like a diamond!"
my preference with this trend is to off set the shine with some grime.
put a cotton button down with a sequence skirt.
place a chunky knit sweater over your lamé knee-length dress.
or for a subtle shimmy just add an oil slicked shoe, clutch... accessory in general.

bum bag or fanny pack ...

whether you call it the bum bag or the fanny pack... it's back.

it's been hanging around for the summer months.

and i personally think it should stick to our sides through fall.

the overall idea is to keep it simple and refined. 

take it from day to night, but always wear with confidence.
