There’s something groundbreaking about how fanny packs have gotten a serious makeover. Redubbed the belt bag, they’re the new “it bag” of the season. Whether you love them or hate them (or you’re somewhere in between), there’s no denying they’re making waves among fashion girls and  bloggers. Scroll down for six belt bag outfits that may just inspire you to try the trend.

With a belt bag in a bright pop of color, you’re set for any and all spring outings this season!

Worn over a pantsuit, a belt bag puts the finishing touch on an outfit for work that makes a statement without being over-the-top.

Stay under the radar with your belt bag by wearing it underneath your coat.

For effortless style with your belt bag, sling it over your shoulder like a crossbody bag!

One of the biggest appeals of the belt bag lies in its ability to add some structure to a loose-fitting dress.

Don’t overthink when you’re styling your belt bag. Keep your outfit simple and slide the bag through your belt loops!

It’s a spring TRIPLE THREAT! Polka dots, stripes and bright bold colors dominate in our newest arrivals—available at all store locations this week!

Bold, bright pops of color!

We still can’t get enough of the bright pops of red, purple, and pink we’re seeing all over Instagram and street style blogs. Try the trend with our Lipstick Red Wrap Dress ($37.50) by Bailey44. Looks super cute layered over your favorite striped or ringer tee too!

Polka Dots!

If you’re into pastels right now, this dress is for you! Perfect for brunching or the office (just add a black blazer!) our Pastel Polka Dot Dress ($32.50) is too cute to pass up.

Polka dots are a classic spring print, but this season, they’re going to be absolutely everywhere. If you aren’t sure an all-over polka dot is for you, try our Striped & Polka Dotted Midi Dress ($37.50) by Bailey44.

Stripes Please!

We LOVE this jumpsuit. Nothing says spring quite like stripes so this one is an easy yes. Try on our Ruffle Top Jumpsuit in Stripe Print ($32.50) – it doesn’t disappoint!

We can’t seem to stop adding more graphic tees to our ever expanding collections. It’s no surprise we’re hoarding them… A great graphic tee is an essential piece in any wardrobe and can be so much more than basic when expertly styled. Today we’re showing you our three favorite ways to style our newest graphic tee arrivals!

1. Layered over a Dress!

Layers add fun and a bit of eccentricity to a look. Here, I layered our Peace Icon T-Shirt ($15) over a gingham dress by BDG and paired the combo with a Jansport fanny pack.

2. Tucked into High Waist Denim

My go-to, everyday tuck is a half-tuck into something high-waisted. We’ve styled our Striped Ringer Tee ($15) with ASOS bell bottoms, and it’s giving us major Dazed and Confused vibes, perfect for summer parties and get-togethers.

3. Tied or Knotted!

Go from plain to stylish with a simple knot! If you have a longer torso like me, this trick is a must in the summer months. Here we’ve paired our Monarch Butterfly Tee ($15) with black knit culottes by NYTT.

Whether you layer it, tuck it, or tie it, you can never go wrong with a couple more new graphic tees! Shop these new arrivals and more at Crossroads this weekend!

There’s no piece quite like a blazer. This outerwear number is an office wardrobe staple that’s universally flattering, whether it’s fitted, long, or oversized. It’s one of the first pieces we think of when it comes to power dressing. So, what are you waiting for? Pick up a blazer today, and get to styling! Here are 6 ways to style a blazer this spring:

If you already consider yourself the queen of androgynous style, turn your skills up a notch by pairing your blazer with a graphic tee and high-waisted pants.

Ready to make a fashion statement? Throw on a vintage blazer, a pleated midi skirt, and a statement belt!

A gray blazer, white blouse, and denim pants make for an easy go-anywhere outfit. It’s the combo you’ll be wearing on heavy rotation this season.

Double up on outerwear by wearing an oversized blazer and pantsuit.

For your next on-the-go look, find a slouchy blazer and pair it with a black slip-dress.

Grab a colored blazer, belt it at the waist, and wear it over black pants. It’s a fashion blogger-approved outfit you’ll want to wear on repeat all spring long.

A spring getaway is the perfect way to end your winter blues and get ready for the upcoming summer season.  How many of you suffer from the worry and stress that come with packing? Or with the thought of not having something stylish and functional to wear? Or is the pressure of creating Instagram-worthy moments causing you a style block?

Vacations are supposed to a cure-all for stress, not a cause of it. For a quick and easy no-brainer packing sesh, I’ve gathered some of my favorite, effortless spring vacation outfits from my blog roll to inspire you!

No other print says “spring!” quite like gingham! Don’t be afraid to mix an equally playful print to create an outfit that you can’t help but have fun in.

A breezy dress is a must-have for a spring vacation. Throw it on with some comfy slides and you’re ready to sight-see all day!

A no-fail formula for the perfect vacation outfit: bold colors, fun print, and a straw hat.

Match the blooming flowers around you in pastel pink. Add in a pair of stylish and functional platform sandals for easy on-the-go style.

My favorite vacation essential? A versatile jumpsuit. It’s a no-brainer!

Have fun and pair your loudest prints and boldest colors together for a tropical island vibe.

Don’t forget to pack a bathing suit! From the hotel pool to the ocean, one pieces are trending this season!
