Blogger Highlight: Sarah of Classy Girls Wear Pearls

I love finding new blogs. Blogs have made exploring all kinds of styles so much easier, and they're mostly written by "normal people" rather than "fashion people". I like to think I have pretty good personal style, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't get any inspiration from bloggers. I started reading blogs during my freshman year of college, and it's been fascinating to watch them evolve into small businesses. Of course, having new blog reading material is dangerous during the school year because homework tends to be ignored for the sake of going through as many posts as I can in one sitting!

Last weekend, I stumbled across Sarah's blog Classy Girls Wear Pearls (so true!) and have been reading it off and on ever since. She is completely committed to all things nautical, Lilly, J. Crew, and just overall preppy, and I love it! I also admire how she isn't just "textbook preppy" -- she keeps it looking fresh and trendy!

I don't know about you, but I'm ready to hop on a sailboat decked out in some sort of anchor-patterned ensemble!

Color Me Neon!

I realize that neon isn't exactly a new trend. (I suppose it might be reaching the early adulthood stage of it's fashion lifetime?) Nevertheless, I love looking at it, and I love wearing it even more! I can see how it might be intimidating, but what people don't realize is that it's actually a very all-inclusive trend. It's perfect for those of us who love the shock-factor of wearing our best and brightest from head to toe as well as those of us who prefer to use our neon sparingly rather than daringly. (Nothing pumps up a neutral outfit like the pop of a chunky neon necklace, shoes, or clutch!)
