King of Prussia Mall®

Diesel is officially opened at King of Prussia Mall and I've scoped out the selection to bring to you some fabulous Coachella fashions Get ready for festival season with flowy fabrics,  peace+love, and some killer wedges. Those shoes are too good to pass up (just ask my feet, already bought 'em!)

What's a girl need to look fabulous at outdoor music shows? Well if it's Coachella, think free-spirited meets fashionista. Celebs attend Coachella so you've gotta dress to impress... without trying too hard, of course! Here's my 3 picks perfect for your suitcase or even a festival-themed party,

1. These were LOVE at first sight. I couldn't live without these. They're so cool, and high, and chunky, and make my legs look long and skinny, and are boho chic, and.... I'm obsessed with them. Okay, moving on. Kloey Platform Sandal, $195.00

2. Rock this flowyfrock with loose curls and a floral wreath upon your head for a modern spin on the tradition flower child. Diesel D-EMILE-A Dress, $198.00

3. Stuff your precious belongings in a bag that's easy to carry around the show that still goes with your free-spirited vibe. Patch designs and prints will be a major Coachella trend. SHEENN ZIP MEDIUM Bag, $195.00

Spring is here and so are the light airy colors. Mint, lilac, peach, and powder blue are on our fashion radar. These springtime style trends don't have to cost a fortune. I've scoured the mall and found a whole lot in these top-trending shades for under $50! I know, pretty good. 

Make a statement. This Arden B Necklace says it all and will make any outfit stand out!

If you thought mint was hot last year, then take a gander and these two fresh fashions. 

This tube dress from American Apparel is great to wear a top tucked into a skirt. Or switch it up with a jean vest on top. 

This Forever 21 top is under $25 and is embellished with studs. Talk about being a tough girl!

Seeing Spots! Snag this wallet for under $25 at Urban Outfitters.

Diane von Furstenberg's collaboration with Roxy def makes the surfer girl more stylish! This bag is meant to hold your bikini and retails for $38 at Nordstrom.

Polka dots are clearly in style, just take a look at Taylor Swift on any given day. Also, pants are the new statement piece. Plus, their pastel! These pants are a triple-trend win! Plus they're under $25! I know, amazing!

And for the classic and cool girl, this relaxed tee from Banana Republic is perfect for a casual Friday under a blazer, or running errands on the weekend.

Finicky springtime weather calls for shoes that won't get ruined if wet. After doing some retail research a few years back (yes, shopping it totally work thing, or so I tell myself) I fell in love with a brand of eco-chic shoes called Melissa. Melissa uses recycled materials to make plastic, yet ultra-chic shoes. Think of those jelly shoes you wore as a kid, but for adults and way more fashion forward. Unlike the jelly shoes you used to own, these are really comfy, chic, and don't make your feet sweat. They typically range from around $70-$150. That was until Melissa collaborated with my mecca, Forever 21! And that means you can score that same fashion-forward style the brand is known for, but for around $20 instead. 

These comfy-cute babies are great for spring and summer as they're easy to clean. Simply wipe with a wet rag. Bring to the beach to add some extra style and don't fret about getting sand in them since it'll be easy to get out. 

And like I said before, these are high-quality for such a great price. Each pair has a padded insole and a special scent in each pair, just like the more expensive version. Forever 21's site says "All styles have an additional insole on top of the plastic, to wick away moisture from your feet."

I don't know about you, but I literally want every pair! Click an image in the showroom below to take a closer look!

A new season calls for a new bag. And this summer I want a few new bags. I really want one that looks luxe (for less, of course!) that can be my everyday bag. Then I’d like a cool tote that can be used for magazines poolside. And I’d also love a cute little clutch perfect for going to weddings, summer parties, and fashion events. Each of these need to be versatile, as I’m planning on using them all summer long. Each also has to be under $50! I just gave myself a fashion mission. Think I can pull it off?

Assignment 1: The everyday-luxe look

Crossbody bags make running around much easier and are great for the girl on the go. This one from DSW will go with a ton of outfits. (click the images for shopping details)

Assignment 2: Poolside tote

For this bag I knew I needed something durable, but also stylish enough to trot around town and the beach with. The light-pink hue mixed with the bow detail makes this bag sweet yet chic. 

Assignment 3: Out on the town

I wanted something that can dress up jeans and a tee, but also go with a formal dress in case I get invited to anything swanky. This nude color will literally go with eerything and it has just the right amount of sparkle. I must have it!

Looking to add to your wardrobe? Of course you are, that's why you're reading. I've been scoping out the stores and the top trends (as usual) and have limited my shopping list down to four summer essentials. All are budget friendly from King of Prussia Mall. 

1. Rompers. Short, long, whatever. This romper works well because it can easily be dressed up or down. Add some cute wedges for a graduation party, or flip flops for a casual day of errands. Roll in your suitcase and wear to your weekend getaways. It's from Express for under $50!  (click the pics for shopping details)

2. Maxis. This must-have is a standard go-to outfit. On those days you're too lazy to shave your legs, this dress will do the trick. Layer an infinity scarf for a walking the boardwalk with ice cream in hand. This dress is $55 from Nordstrom.

3. Cutoff Shorts. These will be part of my summer uniform. Wear with a rocker tee or even with a bikini top at the beach. Cutoffs just feel carefree, as summer should be! Did I mention these are under $20 from Forever 21?  Love that price!

4. Wedges. This is the shoe of summer. Wear with a maxi, the romper, or even the cutoffs. This summer-sandal adds height without feeling too formal or uncomfortable. Plus white is so right for summer. There's diner en blanc and this is the season of white parties. Under $50 from Aldo.

What's on your summer shopping list?

Let's go on a safari of style. Prints are taking over fashion, and I mean TAKING OVER! We've chatted printed pants making a statement, but patterns don't stop there. Shoes, bags, tops, blazers, jackets, nails, you name it - big and bold is back and better than ever.  And for this summer it's all about jungle fever! At the KOP Mall's blogger preview we got to take a peek at all the fashions for spring and got a sneak peek and summer too. And Juicy is ready for an island getaway. Check out these fab finds. Click the image to get a closer look.

1. The blazer. If you work in a creative field wear this at the office to and spice up the day. When you like what you're wearing work will go by faster.

2. The dress. It's appropriate for work but fun enough for play with little accessorizing required.

3. The wallet. Store your money in style. It's cute enough to wear alone or in a bigger bag. 
 

4. The cardi. A light layer will get you through the summer. Throw over your swimsuit when a cool breeze comes or over a tee for a casual Friday outfit.

We’re all adding sandals, shorts, and other summer essentials to our look, but don’t stop there. Your face makes a major impression so don’t leave your beauty routine in the wrong season. You don’t have to purge all your products, just shop for a few key items to transition your beauty style. (click the images for shopping details)

1. Colored Mascara

This trend has been seen on Katy Perry and Rihanna. Add color to your face with a few swipes of mascara in a cool hue. I’d recommend purple or blue so a subtle statement. If you’re feeling bold, pair with a matching eyeliner and let your eyes be the focal point.

2. Orange Lips

This was a little popular last year and will be even bigger this summer. Head to the makeup counter and try on a few shades to see what works best with your skin tone. Trust me, you can totally pull this look off!

3. Bronzer

This is one product I can’t live without. Apply to add some faux glow to your skin. Watch my tutorial so you apply properly. Don’t just douse your face in bronze - not cute!

4. Coral Blush

This shade is so flattering for summer. It’s light and will add highlight to your cheekbones. Get ready for your closeup!

I think it’s safe to say we’re all craving warm temps and summer style. Step into season with some new shoes. Before you hit the mall, check out your closet to see what’s missing against this little shopping list I’ve taken the liberty of crafting just for you. It’s got all the trends for the season and I’ve narrowed it down to 5 trends your feet will thank you for. (click the images for shopping details)

1. The Jellies

These lucite-like shoes feel like childhood, but more fashion forward. I love them so much that I did a whole post on these babies. And guess what? You can snag ‘em from Forever 21, so you def won’t be breaking the bank for this summer trend.

2. Wedges

Add a little lift. Wedges are great for summer. No more sinking heels in the grass (hate that!). Instead, you can walk taller in comfort. Wedges offer more support without compromising style. This is one trend you can stock up on. Every girl can use a few pairs of this summer staple. 

3. Flip Flops

Of course these are on the list. Slip them on and go. Tip: opt for a pair with stylish details (patent finish, metallic, stones, whatever!). A flip flop with a little detailing makes these shoes transition from poolside to the beach bar.

4. Gladiators

Get strapped in. These are a great casual shoe and can easily be the shoe you lean towards on the daily. Pair with a sundress, shorts, or even a cute capris.

5. Peep Toe

Look dressed up while giving your pedicure some time to shine. These can easily transition from work to play. Plus, peep-toe pumps are classic. You’ll wear these year after year. So what shoes trend is your closet craving? Comment below.
