Summer Preview: Shorts!

A few of my personal favorites:

'New Girl' Fashion!

 She's a perfect mix of quirky, cute, and classy

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zooey Deschanel in 'New Girl' is my newest style obsession!

Whether she's rockin' the polka dots,

a 50s style dress,

or the tights and shorts combo,

she pulls it off with confidence,

plus I just love the character she plays on the show...

she's a lot like someone I know... :)

Here's a couple of my fave looks of Jess on New Girl!

Color Love: Pants!

Oh my...

I love me some colorful trousers

My best friend and I went shopping the other day and it didn't matter what store we walked in to, the first item that always caught our eyes were the colored cropped pants. They are huge this season. And they are literally in every store. They are what I would call a spring essential.
