Tennis Court Style

April 25, 2014

You don't have to be a Williams sister or the next Rafael Nadal to rock a preppy tennis-inspired look. Airy skorts, athletic crop tops, and country club argyles were all the rage on the spring 2014 runways and you don't have to be a rising tennis star or the one to watch at Wimbledon to adopt the crisp and pristine style of a grand slam champ.

For the preppy individual, it's all about the country club staples: crests, stripes, argyle, et cetera, preferably in sharp whites or polished pastels. Sporty visors or caps make for excellent finishing touches.

If you are more of a downtown girl, get inspired by the sports bra and tennis tops. Athletic tops have gotten pretty cool looking (just look at the successes of lululemon if you need convincing) and paired with relaxed trousers or a midi skirt you will look absolutely amazing.

Tennis shoes are also everywhere right now and a great way to add sporty vibes to any outfit. Just make sure you pair your sneakers with polished pieces to avoid from looking sloppy or like you just got back from the gym (unless, of course, you did just get back from working out, in which case good for you!)

Are you loving the tennis court style?

Lindsey Loves: Cargo Jackets

March 4, 2013

Ever since I bought this cargo jacket from Anthropologie this past December I cannot get enough of it! The cargo jacket is as comfy as it is cool, as high-impact as it is laid-back. A paradox of sorts, maybe, but a welcome one.

Under the umbrella term of "cargo jacket" there lies a wide variety of options. Oversized, fitted, embroidered or embellished, olive green, beige, long, short...there are so many types of cargo jackets it almost makes it difficult to find just one!

I love that mine has little lace decals and a burgundy velvet trim that adds a touch of girliness, and the detachable hood is a perfect addition for a California girl who doesn't need to be too concerned with rain -though the hood is very handy in the rare occasion when we do get rain.



How to Style It
There are two ways I love to wear my cargo jacket. Usually I will either:
1. play with proportions and mix my oversized cargo jacket with slim leggings and a lightweighT-shirt

2. clash pretty with tough and throw my jacket over a gauzy floral-print dress or fun, bright colors
