This week's trend crush is bar carts. Bar carts are a great summer staple because they are a source of hospitality when you are entertaining. Offering someone a well dressed drink is a great way to make them feel welcome. There are so many options to creating and styling a bar cart. You can DIY or you can mix and match pieces from different places. Here are a few ideas for creating your own.

I have to admit I've been a little nostalgic for Fall lately. A girl can only withstand the Florida heat for so long, and Fall fashion has always been my favorite. This year I have a serious trend crush on oversized sweaters. This trend has been around for a while, but it just seems to get better each year. These sweaters are perfect for a late night walk on the beach or curling up with a bowl of popcorn and netflix.

This week's trend crush is an amazing office supply company called Poppin. I was immediately drawn to the eye popping colors from this brand, but I also love their simplistic design. Poppin has all the makings of an ultra stylish office. I'm getting ready to go back to work and I've been eyeballing a few things for my desk. I'm in love with the aqua and pink items because it matches my Lilly agenda perfectly. Here are a few of my favorites.

It's been a while since I've done a Trend Crush post mainly because most of my crushes are work related at the moment. However, today's Trend Crush is the perfect blend of professional and fashionable. It's the Lilly Pulitzer agendas. The new prints were just released for presale and I am in love. The only problem is I can't figure out which one I want. I love these agendas because they are academic style which means they begin in August. And this year Lilly updated the inside with some adorable graphics. The only one I've seen in person is the medium size which is certainly too small for all my to do lists, so I'm thinking I'll go with the large or the jumbo Go big or go home right? Here are my favorites, but you can see all of this years prints on LillyPulitzer.com Hot Spot and Trippin and Sippin
