Fab Find: French Phrase Graphic Tees at Old Navy


Graphic tees at Old Navy - NEED!

Ladies, run, don't walk, to your nearest Old Navy to scoop up one (or more) of their latest French phrase graphic tees. I bought three yesterday: "You, Me, Oui!", "J'Adore" and "Holy Chic". I would say the tees run true to size but I sized up to a Large for that relaxed, cool vibe. They're super soft cotton/modal so they shouldn't shrink too much. At $14.94 a pop you'll want more than one!

You could wear these with cut-offs and slip on sneaks for a sporty vibe (extra points if you add a quilted crossbody and fashion-forward baseball cap), or go fashion-blogger by pairing with ripped skinny jeans, a white blazer, heels and some statement necklaces layered on for good measure. Really, the possibilities are endless!

Review: Skechers' Stylish New Flats

Review: Skechers flats (really!)

Flats are one of the trickiest shoes for me to shop. Obviously they should be cute and affordable, but I know comfort is definitely an important quality when I’m looking for a pair. I can’t count how many times I’ve been disappointed with flats that ended up being too stiff or left me with painful blisters. Not good! Especially in the summertime when we’re always on the go. Skechers sent me three pairs of flats to try out, and I am pleased to say that my feet were as happy as I was with them.

Accessory Steal of the Week: Leopard Cross-Body Bag


Leopard Bag

In this weekly column, I’m bringing you my favorite budget-friendly accessory that’s available online or in-stores. This week, we’re talking bags. Make sure to check out my blog SydneStyle.com for more affordable fashion inspiration!

Late summer is always a transitional time in fashion. When you’re shopping, unless something is on major sale, you want to start thinking about pieces that can carry you into fall. That’s where a leopard bag comes in. An animal print works year-round. And the cross-body style is still going strong!
