As we head into this Memorial Weekend we are bringing you some easy breezy separates that appropriately lend themselves to BBQ'ing burgers and sipping on margaritas.

First up, these darling overalls from Madewell. They are the perfect length with just the right amount of distressing. I love overalls for Summer...they are really versatile, and while they certainly can seem "youthful", there are ways to make them feel a bit more sophisticated. Try pairing them with an off-the-shoulder blouse and espadrilles for the perfect combination of feminine/tomboy.

Oh...those espadrilles I just mentioned. Here they are. These are so stylish and I absolutely love the ankle wrap for a bohemian take on a more classic shoe. The color combination allows you to wear them with anything and the peep-toe will perfectly display your pedicure. While these are sold-out online (except for mini sizes)...I took a lot of time to check stores all across California and they are largely IN-STOCK in stores (almost all sizes at the Grant Street location for you SF peeps). They are an ADDITIONAL 40% off the palatable price of $118. Reserve yours today (online) and pick up in a store near you.

This darling blouse from Topshop is a Memorial Day Weekend must have. At $52 it is well within budget and oozes bohemian femininity. The lace detailing is sweet, while the shoulder exposure is sexy. This would look fantastic underneath overalls for a more fashion-forward ensemble, or try it with high-waisted denim and wedges for an evening with friends.

Some call it a mumu, I call it fantastic. Any chance I get to wear a floaty trapeze dress, I take. This one from Free People is on sale for $88, has a cool cut-out in the back, a flattering v-neckline, and long sleeves which I always appreciate. Pair it with gladiators and a straw hat for a Memorial Day BBQ, or pack it on your next trip as a chic cover-up. It's easy, stylish and needless to say...it is comfortable.

Hope you enjoyed this week's Friday Buy Day and hope you have a safe and celebratory Memorial Day weekend.

Cheers!

It's another Friday which means it's another Buy Day. Time to scoop up some great pieces on sale so let's get down to it:

This is the bohemian version of a shirtdress (at the bohemian price of $76). A drop waist, petite floral print and a flounce hem are the makings of a casually cool and feminine frock. It would look just as good with gladiator sandals and a panama hat as it would with a denim jacket, wedges and a top knot for a late afternoon/evening event. It's fresh, modern and sexy without being revealing.

Love this straw tote. The fringe is spot-on trend without feeling trendy. The natural raffia and black colors are a classic combination and will always be in style. Add dark sunglasses, skinny jeans and espadrilles and this "beach bag" is a chic carry on. Oh the places you'll go...

Everyone knows Shannon and I love a good romper. Long sleeve, short sleeve, pants or shorts...we like them all! We found this brand a little while ago and they make really affordable, really stylish pieces with a bohemian vibe. This crochet romper is only $72 and is darling as a beach cover-up, or we love the idea of pairing it with two other Friday Buy Day items: the black bralette(from Urban Outfitters) and the black Matiko gladiators we featured two weeks ago. Effortless and super stylish.

These Joie Kidmore sneakers are fantastic. We found them for $154 (from $220), even though they are still full price at all other retail outlets we checked! They have all sizes in stock except 9, for now....but I'm sure not for long.

These sneakers are sporty, stylish and the perfect color. Can't think of another style of shoe that offers the elegance of a smoking slipper while offering the comfort of a sneaker. These will become your go-to shoe with a cashmere sweater and jeans, as well as with a linen tee and cut-offs. Get your size before it's sold out!

We are definitely aware that this is a "trend" but we love it....and for $14.50, everyone is welcome to participate. These mismatched earrings would be the perfect complement to that more conservative wedding dress ensemble, or a welcome addition to an all black outfit (or all white, or all denim). With mismatched earrings, a petite choice is the best choice. Nothing wrong with making your stylish statement subtly...

It is actually really hard to find the perfectly cropped denim jacket. Longer ones can look boxy and masculine. Worse than a manly denim jacket is picking one that is TOO cropped. No offense...but if your daughter can barely get away with her Justice ensemble, you certainly can't get away with it.

This one from Paige is under $120 and has all sizes left. This is a mandatory Spring/Summer staple to layer over your maxi dress or top off embroidered shorts. With a mid-wash and classic styling, this jacket will last you for years to come.
