Friday Fashion Find 8/12: Dressing in Stripes!
We love stripes! We especially love stripes when they are on an adorable sundress like this one from Modcloth. We only have a few more weeks 'til it's September, so we have to get in all the summer sundresses we can until then. If you're not on our office email list (which you probably aren't unless you work at Davol Square) you haven't heard that today is STRIPES DAY at SPHQ, and we are expecting a big turnout. So put on your stripes (whether you work at our office or not) and enjoy the summer sunshine!

Friday Fashion FInd 8/5: The Lake and Stars
The dog days of summer have arrived, and we don’t know about you, but we can’t sleep in the heat. That’s why we love this sleep set by The Lake and Stars. The flouncy little shorts and loose tank will make any summer night cool and comfy. Maayan and Nikki from The Lake and Stars were our neighbors at Curve Expo this past weekend, and they are just as cool as their collection. Check them out!

Friday Fashion Find 6/9: The Tina Twofer
We're suckers for this kind of seersucker. The Tina Twofer in blue and white is everything you could want for summer. It's cute, light, chic and all-round fabulous. It's also available in a light cream, and would look perfect at a tea party or on a cruise. But what we love most about the dress is that it's designed by two women who met in the big apple and bonded over their common passion for the South. Sarah Elizabeth Dewey interned for Jolie Bensen at BCBG, and in time, Jolie and Elizabeth was born 'over a pitcher of sweet tea and a messy shrimp po boy'. Their designs remain traditional to the southern style while incorporating aspects of the modern sophisticated woman. Check it out!

Friday Fashion Find 4/29: Regal Lace
We’re pulling a little inspiration from royalty this Friday. We love this regal lace top that can be dressed up for work or down for a femme daytime look. Pair it with a pencil skirt or jeans, and you’re sure to be looking like a princess in this Equipment ‘Brett’ Lace Shirt from Nordstrom.

Friday Fashion Find 4/15: Coral Lip Color
Last August we fell in love with Laura Mercier's Lush Nectarine blush, but with warm weather approaching we're looking to shine some coral color elsewhere this season. Get a beautiful pinky peach on those lips with NARS lipstick in Niagara. Snag yours at Sephora.com, dab a little gloss on top, and you'll be ready to glow all day and night.

Friday Fashion Find 4/1: Tie skirt from L.M.N.O. Clothing
The other day on Twitter I stumbled upon a little gem called L.M.N.O Clothing. Designer Susannah Henderson upcycles vintage fabrics to create beautiful new garments. Talk about a fresh start to spring! All handmade with a feminine, delicate look about them, this line is perfect to wear during warm months when you're outside. The tie skirt below is one of her more whimsical pieces and I think it just might be calling my name...

Spiff up your V-day outfit with a subtly themed piece that will be sure to snug those locks back and show that pretty face of yours.

Friday Fashion Find 10/15: Lace Mini
Craving instant prettiness? Then throw on a lace miniskirt like the Severn lace mini we found at jcrew.com. We love the delicate floral pattern that makes this lace not too over-the-top, not too understated, but oh just right. Don the slate shade for an all-year-round gorgeous femme look or go bold with summit green and be certain to stand out amongst those fiery autumn leaves.

Friday Fashion Find 10/8: Jujuknits
Clearly the vintage vibe is in nowadays. But we don’t really want to see you walking around in old-school Mom jeans. To add a touch of the vintage-y vibe but still give off that glamour-girl glow, try out Jujuknits scarves, like this one we found in a pretty floral pattern. The scarves are already perfectly twisted into that beautiful cowl-neck drape so you won’t even have to do any work. Ahh, we wish looking beautiful were always that easy!

Inspiration
Guess what’s on the horizon here at Sexy Period HQ? It’s time to think about photography! I decided that it would be helpful to create a collage that reflects our fashion sense. Here’s a sneak peek inside our world as we redesign the website and prepare for photo shoots.

If you happen to be in the New York area on Friday…let’s just say, we’re jealous. It’s the second annual Fashion’s Night Out with special events in over 1000 stores.

Friday Fashion Find 9/3: Cutesie Headbands
Even your hair likes to get dressed up sometimes. So why not don those gorgeous locks with a little hair jewelry—some cute headbands or accessories? We’re obsessed with the ones at www.shopbando.com.

Friday Fashion Find 8/20: Double v-neck shirts
Sometimes, less is more. Show off those tanned shoulders with a flattering v-front and v-back shirt like the one we’ve found at urbanoutfitters.com for just $16. Daring, yet classy. Check and check.

Friday Fashion Find 8/6: Beachy Blush
You know that summery glow that makes you want to skip work and hit the beach as soon as you look in the mirror? That reminds you of ice cold lemonade and the smell of sunscreen?
Well we think that ooh-she’s-got-something-special summery shine should NEVER disappear just ’cause the leaves start changing.
When that summer shimmer starts to fade, try a warm, soft blush to get a natural glow without looking inappropriately orange for the season. After trying it out one NYC afternoon at Sephora, we’re obsessed with Laura Mercier’s Second Skin Cheek Colour in Lush Nectarine ($24).
Sweep it on to highlight those gorgeous cheekbones and people will be dying to know just why you’re glowing…all year long!
