Steal Her Style: Kate Beckinsale's Color Blocked Outfit

So my inspiration this week comes from the beautiful, Kate Beckinsale. I mean come on, she's gorgeous who wouldn't want to look like her.  And she totally rocked the color blocked trend like nobody's business.

I was able to recreate this look with some great affordable pieces from H&M. While my top is more of an orange then Kate's, it still gives off a great bright summer-y vibe. And it's currently available at H&M for $4.95! Ridiculousness right!? When I saw the price tag I was immediately shocked. And, no it wasn't on sale. It's actually part of their Summer essentials that are starting at $4.95. Pretty amazing if you ask me. 

I also paired this top with a wrap skirt from H&M that I got at the end of last Summer but have only worn once. And it just so happened to be the same color as Kate's. Like Kate, I kept the styling and jewelry simple to really let the color blocked outfit standout on its own. Plus I was taking my daughter on a preschool tour so I didn't want to be jingle jangling while the kids were trying to learn. Which is also why I opted for nude flats instead of  pumps. Walking on a playground in heels wasn't something I felt like trying to do especially when the preschool happened to also be a farm.

I'm loving these bright hues this Summer. How about you? 

Hope you enjoyed this week's style inspiration.

Festival Fashion

It's that time of year again, Indie music festivals are cropping up and that means it's time to break out those clothes set aside just for this event. Coachella, is one of the biggest Indie music festivals attracting all sorts of celebrities from Nicole Richie to Emma Watson and it is happening this weekend. So you bet there will be all kinds of crazy boho looks sported this weekend. 

Festival fashion is relaxed and often times very revealing. It's the only time you can feel free to dress like you're headed to Woodstock and not feel out of place or totally crazy. I myself love a great themed event, call it the sorority girl in me, but any chance to dress up in a not so ordinary outfit is always fun. So bring on the hippie, flower child outfits.

If you still need more inspiration for how to achieve the right festival look, think Nicole Richie. She's the queen of Boho in my eyes and can do no wrong. She rocks flowy dresses, like the one above from Rosie True, to shorty shorts. And maybe we'll even see some side boob action from her since it seems to be the hottest asset to show off these days. Ha! Don't forget to grab those fab sunnies of yours either, because you'll be out in the sun all day long.

Peace, Love, & Fashion!
