A Summer of Chevrons

May 16, 2012

1: Printed Bandeau Swimsuit ($30) 2: Seabird Cardigan ($88) 3: Brandy Pham Bangle ($88 each) 4: Chevron Striped Scarf ($48) 5: Now or Nectar Top ($68) also similar tank 6: Brahmin Dome Bag ($295)

Polyvore Set Here.

The chevron trend has been building for awhile, but it’s recently reached critical mass.  Sharply-pointed stripes are everywhere this season. 

Here are some chevron pieces that I love for this season.  I adore the Brahmin bag most of all, but a friend has assured me that I can DIY a linen or leather bowling bag and achieve a similar result.  And since highlighter yellow isn’t my first choice, I just may give that a whirl.

    Oh man! love chevron!!! And really love the chevron handbag! I've never heard of Brahmin before, are they quality bags?

  2. Belle says:

    H: They're very nice bags. Dooney and Bourke would be the most comparable quality and price wise.

    How would you DIY that bag? Sounds interesting! Can you describe? Thanks!

    I am also interested on how to dye your own bag… maybe another crafty post?

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
