City-inspired Style!

 
Just 'cause you can’t take a trip to a big city right now doesn’t mean you can’t bring some skylines to you.
 
These views are fantastically stylish and lead to picture-perfect outfits. New York and Paris have never looked quite so good!

Go downtown with a sketched view of the city. Pair with an oversized cardi, jeans, and flats and be ready to strut the day away.

Can’t commit to the Empire State? This cute graphic tee says it all. Gals everywhere can sport the creative twist on the classic logo with jeans for a perfect laidback kind of day.


Go Heart Your Own Tee, $27, delias.com
 
Tote your most treasured trinkets around in a wish-you-were-here tote. Stash your schoolbooks in it or grab it for shopping to avoid using paper or plastic. Either way, you’ll scream trendy when you rock this Brooklyn-inspired bag on your arm.

Take the City of Lights home with you with a Paris-inspired charm necklace. Dress up a tee or wear it with your fave tank for a splash of cute and color.
Très chic!



We’ll always have Paris! This comfy tee will look great with some shredded skinnies or leggings and represent one of the most glam cities on the globe.

Cutest Cuffs

 
Sorry, bangles. Oversize bracelets are our new fave way to put a finishing touch on fall outfits. Whether you nab one with rockin’ jewels or fierce animal print, these statement makers add flash to everything you own.
 
Stack a few up to make a major impression. We can’t get enough!
 
Circle, circle, dot, dot. This detailed cuff is spot-on. The antique gold and the sunny stars give it an ancient Egyptian feel. Bring on the Cleopatra eye liner! 


Connect The Dots Cuff, $15, lulus.com

Pretty stones keep bulky cuffs feminine. We love how this one looks with romantic dresses and ruffled blouses.


Antique Stone Cuff, $20, urbanoutfitters.com

Animal prints are so this minute. Crimp your hair and throw on a party dress and booties to rock it.
 
 
 
Sequins are sizzlin’ this season and make all your fave outfits sparkle. They look cute with skinny jeans and a cropped blazer. Rock out!


Sequin Wrapped Bangle, $6, forever21.com
 
Nature-inspired jewelry is a cute way to stay connected to mother earth, while still lookin’ stylish. Adds the right amount of shine to jeans and a tee!

YOU WROTE IT

It was a strange scent, faintly familiar, like the perfume my mother used to wear. The aroma lingered around me, smelling like dried sunflowers and a soft touch of the new spring air.
