four eyes

today we're saying yes stripes and chambray, plus i discuss my everyday accessory: fashion forward frames.

glasses used to be only for geeks, but now with so many cute frames out there... they've basically become a fashion accessory. 

courtney lately

it's time for another insta update...

so here is all that is new && now in my world, through the eyes of my iPhone && the magic of instagram

prep.

p is for poised, polished && pretty in prep.

I've been watching a lot of old gossip girl reruns lately, and loving the preppy blair a la season one and two, sighhh. so although today's look is not very blair-esque, I was thinking of the preppy princess when I found myself inspired to put some prep in my step for today's outfit.

Bright Stripes

Today's look is all about pairing crazy amounts of color with plenty of pattern!

Using these citrus-y hues, I was able to create a summery striped outfit that makes a bright yet unexpected statement look!

Courtney Lately

Let's catch up! Today, I wanted to take some time to update you on what has been happening in courtney land over the past few weeks!


And since a picture is worth a thousand words, I thought it might be better to show you through the eyes of instagram...

happy pride

It's pride week!

so of course we're celebrating in style!

Splash from the Past: Pool Party

For our third and final splash from the past post, we are turning poolside looks into party worthy outfits!

The girl on the go doesn't slow down during the summer. Instead her days are packed with non stop summer festivities! Her afternoon may start with a day at the beach or lounging by the pool, but it usually ends with a spectacular summer party. So she has to be able to update her look instantly.

Walking On Sunshine

Nothing brightens up a day like yellow and white stripes!

So today, I dressed down my sunshine skirt for a beautifully bold look, check it out...

Let's Dance!
