Big Buddha Lara Bag

Big Buddha Lara Bag
Opting for a functional work bag doesn't mean sacrificing your inherent penchant for chicness. Case in point: Lara, a slouchy carryall that does all the work for you. Your paperwork is kept safe in its roomy interior, while smaller precious cargo - like your phone and iPod - sits comfortably in its own pockets. With a lengthy, detachable strap and a regular shoulder strap, it offers you options, too - and the navy hue is a great, goes-with-almost-anything neutral that you'll love as we approach fall.

The Limited Cloudy Stone Ring

The Limited Cloudy Stone Ring
Make a little magic with this enchanting ring. Its intriguing purple stone is dramatically cloudy, but not in a murky way - it's more of a fog in a crystal ball, with little color variations adding depth. Nestled in a studded silver setting, it's a mysteriously riveting piece that is sure to turn some heads. Equally enticing? The super reasonable price.

Pretty Silk Ruffle Dresses for Under $200

 

If you are like us, your summer agenda is packed with weddings. If you are the bride-to-be, congratulations! But the majority of us will attend as guests. If you are in a dilemma of what to wear, don't fret. There are plenty of options for very pretty ladylike silk dresses suitable for wedding festivities. Featured here is a roundup of pretty silk dresses with ruffled necklines all priced under $200. Ruffled necklines in fruity starburst colors look great with a summer tan as well as fair complexions. Pretty up your look with some classic t-strap heels and an eye-catching clutch. When accessorizing with jewelry note that a complex neckline like ruffles requires less rather than more. Perhaps a stunning statement cocktail ring, and classic stud or drop earrings. If wearing dangling chandelier earrings forgo the cocktail ring as you won't want to overwhelm this ladylike look with excessive jewelry.

City Style Sateen Belted Ruffle Shirtdress

City Style Sateen Belted Ruffle Shirtdress
Classic, no-fuss shirtdresses are just that - simple and, well, no fuss. This updated take is much more enticing, with just the right amount of flirty ruffle trim accenting the collar. A slim belt renders it exceptionally flattering, and gives it an extra something that makes it perfect for wearing to the office. During the fall, it's just as cute with tights and Mary Janes as it is right now with open-toe sandals. In four colors.
