3 Wishes: Nicole's Guide To Style

I am a huge fan of Nicole's Guide to Style blog because she has impeccable style and I love looking at her Recent Outfits for inspiration. I'm so glad that she is participating in the 3 Wishes, and her picks are incredible! I'm drooling over the tunic right now, and don't even get me started on the Hermes clutch...


So thrilled to be a guest blogger for Jen's "The Look 4 Less"- doesn't she post the cutest things?! Summer is my favorite season- weekend getaways, laying out in the California sunshine, my birthday in July, vodka strawberry lemonades, hikes in Runyon Canyon- the list goes on and on! After lots of thought (it's hard to pick just three!) my three wishes for summer are:

1. Balenciaga Perfume- A soft and unique scent of violets, perfect to wear during the intense summer heat.

2. Hermes Jige Clutch- In the words of stylist Rachel Zoe, I'd go "bananas" for this! Definitely an item that I would use forever and the trademark Hermes orange is such a fun splash of color that would brighten up any outfit.

3. Missoni Zig Zag Caftan- Again, something that I would use for many years. I love the fact that you could wear it over a swimsuit and then out to dinner just by throwing on different accessories and shoes.

A special thanks again to Jen for featuring me today! Hope you all have a fabulous, fashionable and fun day!

XOXO, Nicole of guidetostyle.blogspot.com

Celebrity Look 4 Less: Diane Kruger

I actually saw this photo of Diane Kruger on Love, Lipstick, and Pearls and wanted to recreate it because I thought it was adorable and perfect for summer.


I found a similar wide neck yellow shirt at Victoria's Secret which retails for $15.50, as well as a tulip skirt from Topshop for $55. Click on either photo to purchase (and click here for another skirt option from BR for $69.50).

And to complete the look, some accessories similar to Diane's - click on any photo to purchase. (Note: It looks as though she's wearing a spiked necklace but I didn't find one in gold so I chose a different necklace.)

3 Wishes: Strawberry Swing and Other Things

Erinn from the blog Strawberry Swing and Other Things is super sweet as well as absolutely adorable (just look at that profile pic on her blog, seriously!) and I'm guessing she was probably the girl everyone was jealous of in high school because she was both of those things. If you haven't already clicked over to her blog, you should definitely check it out! She posts everything from her outfits of the day/week, to home improvement, and just about her life in general. We have such similar taste in clothing, almost everything she has on her wish list is also on mine! Check out the 3 items she's wishing for most this summer (click on any photo for more information).

Cuffed Jean Shorts

7 For All Mankind at ShopStyle

Trendy-ish Heels that can be dressed up or down (my summer is packed with weddings, showers, and bachelorettes... need versatility)

Pelle Moda at ShopStyle

Light & Airy Floral Print Boho Top

Jacquie Aiche Pyramid Eternity Ring

Style Me Saturday: Look Fab & Stay Cool at Work

Sorry for all the Style Me Saturday posts but I'm desperately trying to catch up!! This is the last one of the day, I promise. :)

Katelyn recently wrote in asking for some help as she moves to Atlanta for a summer job. Here's her email...

"Help! This summer I have landed a job in Atlanta, Georgia. I am extremely excited about my job and want to look professional but want to look chic and in style while I am professional. But the key is, I have to also stay cool. Please help me! I am in need of some relatively cheap, chic, cool clothing. Help me so I look fabulous by staying cool! Thank you!"

I asked Katelyn who she looks to for celebrity inspiration and she named Ginnifer Goodwin, Reese Witherspoon, Sandra Bullock, Katie Holmes, and Drew Barrymore. With that in mind, I attempted to find her some chic work looks that will help keep her cool. Click on any of the photos to purchase/view more information about each item.



This look is actually inspired by an outfit I saw on Cameron Diaz. When I saw the polka dot print of this dress, it immediately reminded me of the top and white belt she wore to the Kid's Choice Awards awhile back.


I think this silk tank would look great tucked into a navy skirt (it also comes in yellow if you don't like orange!).


Again, tuck the shirt in for a crisp (yet cool) look for work.
