Run around in a Romper

The onesie is back and trendier then ever. No not the pajama onesie with attached feet, those are still only acceptable if you are under the age of 5. I am talking about the romper, a shorts and top onesie that is an easy outfit for going out on the town or even heading to the pool. So let those legs finally see the sun and try a romper for some style.

1. If you are new to the all-in-one look, black is always a safe bet. I know, I know, this season it is all about bright colors, but lets not forget, black is our friend, and this lucky strike romper is anything but plain. I love the overlayed pleats at the bust, and the shorts have an elastic band for a more flattering look. Since this romper is strapless, try a bold statement necklace at night to jazz it up and make it more dressy. For the daytime, throw on some bangles and flat sandals. Get yours at www.lulus.com for $43.50.

2. If you are unsure about the romper, and don't feel completely set on the idea of wearing a one piece, try this stripe tie dye cover up by Juicy Couture to get you in the romper mood. I would stick to wearing this one to the beach or the pool. Juicy's signature terry cloth fabric makes the perfect swim suit cover up since it is the same material as your towel! Available in Palm Branch (green) or Raven (black) for $148 from www.revolveclothing.com.

3.One of my favorite looks for summer time is the classic, nautical. It never goes out of style and always looks clean and chic. To update your "by the sea" look, try this navy and white halter romper by ADAM. The beauty of this look is that it appears to be shorts and a top, but in reality it is one easy piece. Find this romper on www.shopbop.com for $295.

Be a Brunch Beauty

With spring in full force, the tradition of weekend brunch is upon us. There are various brunch dress codes, from cafe casual to country club formal. As a guest at brunch it is always better to be overdressed than under dressed (in my opinion) so tuck away your blue jeans for the day and find your inner girly girl.

1. Floral prints are trendy as every right now, and very appropriate for brunch dates. Forever 21 makes this affordable floral chiffon party dress. Wear the dress alone or pair it with a cardigan for added coverage. Available for $24.80 at www.forever21.com.

2. Banana Republic makes this silk twist neck blouse in deep teal and deep pink. Pair it with some crisp white jeans and nude or metallic heals for a put together brunch look. Find this top at Banana Republic Stores or online at www.bananarepublic.com for $69.

3. If the brunch you are attending (or hosting) calls for more formal attire, try this Hanna G Scallop chiffon dress from Nordstrom. The pretty ruffled layers and watermelon color add for a springy feel. Add a beige blazer for a more structured look. Available online at www.Nordstroms.com and Nordstrom stores for $98.

Mothers Day

Mothers Day is THIS Sunday, May 10, and your mom, grandma, sister (or if you're a mom, you!) deserve a gift that shows they (or you) are appreciated. Flowers are always a good option, or a massage if your special lady is a spa gal. For a few more unexpected gift options, here are some of my favorite things to show mom how much you love her.

1. Everyone needs note cards and these zebra print cards from Kate Spade are great for thank you notes or just to say "hello". Your mom is sure to love the feisty green zebra stripe. Find this pack of 10 cards and 10 envelopes for $20 at www.KateSpade.com.

2. Pottery Barn makes these gorgeous glass canisters in four sizes. Fill each one with your moms favorite bath beads, bath salts, sea sponges, or any other bath accessories she enjoys. These jars can also be monogrammed with up to three initials. Canisters are $19 - $44 at Pottery Barn stores or online at www.PotteryBarn.com.

3. If your mom is a go green kind of gal, she is sure to love this reusable tote and lip glosses by Tarte from Sephora. The three different shades of lip gloss come in Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle all with SPF 15. Get your mom this planet saving gift for $35 from www.Sephora.com.

4. Jewelry is always a go to gift for any lady. Dogeared makes this heart shaped "Best Mom" necklace in gold and silver. Find this necklace on www.dogeared.com. Gold necklace is $60 and sterling silver necklace is $52.
