How We Style: Earrings

July 31, 2016 by Morning Lavender Leave a Comment

How we style earrings says a lot about our taste, mood, and personality. Earrings can not only shape and enhance your face, but the right accessories can add the perfect finishing touch to any outfit! We love how the different styles we carry, whether they’re feminine dangle earrings or bold stud earrings, can balance a certain face shape or give it dimension! Check out our tips below to find out the best style for your face shape:

HEART SHAPE

Want – Earrings that are wider at bottom and thinner at the top, and those with soft curves or a teardrop shape.

Why – These earrings will enhance your features with elongated lines and curves that balances out the face and draw attention to the eyes, cheekbones, and jaw line.

Morning Lavender Options: Sabrina Peach Crystal Statement Earrings, Isla Teardrop Mint Statement Earrings, Mandy Grey Teardrop Earrings, Cherise Grey Teardrop Dangle Earrings

ROUND SHAPE

Want – Any type of drop earrings or dangle earrings and long angular styles.

Why – These earrings give your face dimension by elongating it and drawing eyes lower rather than to the middle of your cheeks.

Morning Lavender Options: Haven Hot Pink Crystal Tassel Earrings, Aimee Crystal Dainty Gold Dangle Earrings, Joelle Gold Teardrop Dangle Earrings, Haven Turquoise Crystal Tassel Earrings

OVAL SHAPE

Want – Pearls, teardrops, and oval shaped earrings.

Why – Just about any style flatters an oval shape, but going for teardrops and studs will draw attention to the elongated face shape without adding too much length or width.

Morning Lavender Options: Sharon Pearl Dangle Earrings, Samantha Pink Teardrop Earrings, Isabel Crystal Teardrop Earrings, Isabella Double Pearl Earrings

SQUARE SHAPE

Want – Hoop earrings and earrings that are longer.

Why – These earrings will soften your cheekbones and jaw line.

Morning Lavender Options: Liv Mauve Dangle Earrings, Julianne Pink Dangle Earrings, Wendy Pink Bow Teardrop Earrings, Marcy Gold Circle Hoop Dangle Earrings

WORKS FOR ALL SHAPES!

Want – Studs!

Why – Studs are instant eye catchers and can add touch of personality to your outfit!

Poolside Swim Cover Ups

July 15, 2016 by Morning Lavender 1 Comment

Sunny days lounging by the pool are probably one of our favorite things about Summer! Because wearing your cute summer bikinis all on their own can be cause for some major sunburn and unwanted tan lines, we have a wide selection of cute poolside swim cover ups for every time you hit the pool or beach!

Kimonos are probably our favorite layering piece because of how lightweight and versatile they are! You can never really have too many cute printed kimonos in your closet, especially when they’re as gorgeous as the floral and tropical styles we have in store. Kimonos are also great for the pool or beach because you can toss them in your cutest carry-all tote bag and they take up little to no space at all (which means more room for sunblock, mirrored sunnies, and all your other warm weather essentials)!

Our Lindy Taupe Maxi Skirt and other gorgeous flowy maxi skirts are perfect to wear over your bikinis when you’re going to an from the beach or pool! This creates a whole separate ensemble and will convert your longline bikini top into a crop top!

Our Megan Tropical Print Strapless Romper is one of the cutest of our wide selection of feminine Summer rompers. The tropical and bright print just screams Summer from head to toe, and it even has a ruffled cut for that ultimate flirty touch! Printed rompers are great for wearing over solid colored bikinis to add some color and texture to any monotone look!

Our selection of cute and casual Summer dresses can always double as a poolside cover up! Whether you’re a prints, texture, or solids girl we’ve got the flowy and fun styles fit for every personality!

Button ups like our Makenna Printed High Low Blouse are a great alternative for a versatile piece you won’t just wear once and store away until next year. This high-low style is especially cute for a poolside cover up because of how unique the cut is!

Pretty floral scarves like our Mara Blue and Yellow Floral Scarf make a great sarong because of how lightweight they are! We’ve got the perfect floral printed scarves for every day you’re out in the sun, and you’ll be sure to wear them for more than one occasion! Check out all the different ways we style our favorite scarves here.

No brainer pieces like our Connie White Crochet Cover Up and our Tessa Black Crochet Cover Up are the pieces that will make you feel like you’re miles away on a tropical island even when you’re just at your local pool or beach. These pieces were made for lounging on a hammock with a fruity cocktail by your side!

Hot Trends for Staying Cool in the Office

July 13, 2016 by Morning Lavender Leave a Comment

With Summer here and the days warm and sunny, we can’t help but want to wear our lightweight Summer dresses every single day! Unfortunately that isn’t always possible, especially when we have to be in the office during the week. Not only that, but offices that may or may not have A/C that make you dread your long button ups and pantsuits. That being said, we came up with these tips to follow for hot trends for staying cool in the office. We even snuck in our favorite lemon print skirt and feminine floral sundress so you don’t have to save them for the weekend!

Light & Airy Midi Skirt

Cute printed skirts like our Piper Stripe Lemon Print Skirt embody Summer wherever you go! This skirt like our many pretty midi skirts are great for wearing in the office because of the longer length! Pair it with one of our cute off the shoulder tops for a lightweight and office appropriate look that can double as your weekend brunch outfit too (we won’t tell)!

Wide Leg Trousers

These black wide leg trousers are a breezy and chic option for wearing pants in the office! Who said covering up meant opting for stiff and uncomfortable pantsuits?! Pairing these pants with a cute layered crop top will have you feeling like you can take on the world from inside the walls of your cubicle!

Lightweight Layers

The best way to wear your favorite cute Summer dresses is to layer them under an office appropriate lightweight jacket! The one photographed above isn’t just the perfect shade of lavender to match all of your staple floral sundresses, but it’s a versatile color you’ll be able to wear all year long for effortless layering!

White Jeans

Our super comfortable white ripped jeans couldn’t look better with our classic striped button up! This pairing will make every day feel like casual Friday, even when it isn’t! Did we mention how versatile our Riley Striped Button Up is too? See how we styled it 11 different ways!

Wedding Styles

July 8, 2016 by Morning Lavender 1 Comment

One of our favorite occasions to dress up for (and excuse to shop for) are weddings! Summer weddings are even better because you get to adorn the prettiest floral prints whether the event is outdoors or indoors. Many of our new wedding styles are perfect for both casual and dressy events, and we’ll let you know why below!

Floral Dresses:

Floral maxi dresses are great for casual weddings, especially the new flowy styles we have in store! Whether it’s our pretty off the shoulder dresses like our Karina Peach or Yellow Maxi Dresses, you’ll match the Summer florals at the wedding while making everyone #ootd envious! If you prefer shorter styles, we have a selection of cute floral dresses that vary in length like our Cassie Multicolor Floral Fit and Flare Dress. The best thing about these gorgeous floral dresses is that you can wear them again and again for the rest of the season (none of that wear once & store away nonsense)!

Lace Dresses:

Lace is a great way to go when you’re attending a dressier upscale wedding. You can’t go wrong with a pretty lace midi dress like our Maya Blue Lace Halter Midi Dress that’s a gorgeous shade of Summery blue! If you’re a maxi girl instead, our fan favorite Camila Lavender Lace Maxi Dress has a gorgeous mermaid-cut silhouette that is flattering on all body types.

Bold Maxi Skirts:

Our irresistible best selling Amelia Full Yellow Maxi Skirt is a must-have closet staple that can be dressed up for your next warm weather wedding! This flowy maxi skirt is bold and bright and will guarantee you’ll stand out among the crowd. If you’re looking for a floral print maxi skirt instead, our Carrie Navy Floral Maxi Skirt is just as gorgeous and flowy as our Amelia, with the prettiest floral pattern and gorgeous hue of navy blue! Pair these skirts with our cute crop tops for a flattering fit and flare ensemble!

Once you’ve picked out the perfect wedding style for your next event, don’t forget to finish the look with one our gorgeous statement necklaces and feminine handbags!
