Preppy Pop of Blue Styled in a Cream Outfit

As much as my style revolves around a neutral color palette, I love incorporating pops of colors in my looks, especially in the warmer seasons! This look was built around my baby blue cropped cardigan and styled with cream monochrome staples in my wardrobe.

I decided to style this cardigan with my new favorite pants from Aritzia and my cream tweed blazer. I popped on my white booties and white Coach shoulder bag to keep the monochrome theme consistent. For jewelry, I wore two chunky gold rope necklaces and chunky gold hoops. The star of the show was my giant hair bow.

2023 Fashion Trend – Silk for Spring

Silk is trending for Spring 2023, and I’m absolutely loving it!

Silk is one of my favorite textures to style, and it’s going to be trending big time this spring. I decided to put together a look to spotlight the fabric of the season.

For this trend, I paired a gold mock-neck silk blouse with my trusty black trousers shorts. To make the look a little cooler, I accessorized with a gold chain belt, knee-high beige boots and my favorite cat-eye black sunnies. As an additional silk accent, I wrapped a satin scarf around the handle of my Prada bag to pull all the tones together.

I have to say I’m loving this gold, beige and black color palette, and I can’t wait to wear silk pieces all season long.

Styling A Vintage Blazer as a Dress

How I styled my mom’s vintage blazer as a dress!

This is one of my all-time favorite looks that I’ve put together, and it’s centered around my mom’s vintage blazer!

A few years ago, my mom dug through the clothes she saved from the ’80s and ’90s and gave some of them to me, including this gorgeous blazer. At first, didn’t know what to do with it. My style was still evolving at the time, and I had yet to envision the perfect look for it. I’m so glad she gave it to me because it’s a star piece in my wardrobe now. I mean, look at it!

If you know me, you know I absolutely love blazer dresses. So I couldn’t help myself but style this piece as one. Its soft fabric and oversized nature made it perfect for this choice. I layered it on top of a pair of black trouser shorts to add some volume at the bottom of the dress. Plus shorts allowed me to walk around freely without having to worry about the shortness of the dress causing a wardrobe malfunction.

I added some sheer tights and knee-high black leather boots. For accessories, I wanted to play off of the pearl buttons of the blazer by adding a pearl headband and pearl necklace. I put on my favorite chunky gold hoop earrings and gold rings to top it off. Finally, I chose my black Prada bag to finish off the look

3 Glamorous & Girly Holiday Outfits

From cozy to full-blown glam, here are three fabulous outfits that are perfect for the holiday season!

One of my favorite things about the holiday season is preparing the perfect outfit to slay each celebration. With some of the most anticipated holidays of the year right around the corner, I thought it would be a good idea to share some outfit ideas with you.

I put together 3 outfits that ranging from cozy casual to full-blown glamorous – all of which are a little bit “extra”.

Outfit #1

Outfit 1

I built this outfit around this fabulous plaid skirt. I’ve been loving the combination of burgundy and navy blue recently, and with its ruffle detail, I needed this skirt to be a part of my wardrobe. I paired it with a flared sleeve blouse that compliments the purple tones in the plaid. For a holiday flare, I wore my silver velvet booties and off-black tights. I accessorized this outfit with silver bow earrings to make a statement and a silver opal necklace.

Outfit #2

Outfit #2-2

This is my take on the perfect comfy outfit for the holidays – cozy but fabulous. Red is a classic for the holidays, and I love this wine chenille cable knit sweater for the occasion. I wore this chunky sweater as an off-the-shoulder piece and paired it with ripped jeans. For accessories, I wore a black beret-like beanie, rose gold statement earrings, and a simple rose gold choker. These classic black knee-high boots tie the look together.

Outfit #2 2

Sweater: Forever 21

Jeans: American Eagle

Beanie: Nordstrom Rack

Boots: Steve Madden

Earrings: Givenchy

Necklace: Adina’s Jewels

Outfit #3

Outfit 3 Official

If you want to go full-blown glamorous this holiday season, this is the outfit for you! Nothing is better than a little black dress, and I love the fitted, classy cut of this one. The star of this show is the blush faux fur coat, which I paired with baby pink velvet heels. For jewelry, I wore a pair of statement rose gold earrings and a simple rose gold sparkly bracelet.

Side note: I actually wore this dress and coat for a fancy dinner with my boyfriend last week, and I thought I would dress it up a little more for a great holiday outfit option!

How to Wear Leopard Print – Fall 2018 Trend Alert

I teamed up with four fashion bloggers to bring you 5 different ways to wear leopard print and stay on-trend this fall!

If there is one print that’s taking the fashion world by storm this fall, it’s leopard print. From dresses to outerwear to accessories, leopard is slowly making its way into everyone’s wardrobe this season.

I teamed up with four fashion bloggers – Michelle from Dressing with Style(s), Lindsey from Cozy Stylist, Kait from Teacups and Things, and Hannah Gladwin – to bring you 5 different ways to style this fabulous print and tell you why we love this trend!

Skirts

I love incorporating prints into my fall wardrobe, and leopard print is the perfect way to spice things up while staying on trend. I decided to style this leopard print skirt from Forever 21. I love this piece because this particular print is subtle and great for everyday wear. I paired the skirt with a knit black sweater and lace-up suede booties. I accessorized my outfit with polka dot tights and rose gold jewelry for a cohesive and warm look.

Michelle says:

I’m a 90s gal through and through, so when animal print came back into fashion, I immediately picked up literally everything in leopard print. My favorite find? This ASOS dress that is perfect for nearly every occasion! I’m always running late in the morning, so a dress is my perfect go-to outfit. With this piece, you can easily dress it down –like I’ve done here– with a pair of Vans. If it’s chilly wear you live, black booties and a nice leather jacket give it a bit of an edge. Headed somewhere a bit fancy? Throw on a pair of heels and you’ve got yourself a sexy drape neck dress. And, because of the leopard print, there’s a little pop of that extra something!

Scarfs

Leopard Print-9

Lindsey says:

I am usually the type of girl to stick to solid colors or very simple prints like stripes or polka dots. So when I saw that leopard was going to be a big trend this season I had to think of ways that I could incorporate the print into my wardrobe. I ended up buying this fabulous scarf and pointed flats. I found that I could style this scarf with many different outfits. It goes perfectly with a long sleeve tee, jeans, and flats or a cute sweater dress and boots. You can mix the leopard print with other patterns but I choose to wear it as the only printed piece so that I don’t overwhelm my outfit. The scarf works perfectly against fall tones and neutral colors.

Boots

Leopard Print-8

Kait says:

I’ve always been a huge fan of statement accessories – be it a necklace, statement earrings or a loud shoe. Statement accessories are a great way to experiment with trends that may be out of your comfort zone, and for many people animal prints can be a little intimidating. What I love about these leopard print boots is that they are so incredibly easy to dress up or dress down. You can wear them with virtually anything, like jeans and an oversized sweater for a more casual look like I did here. These boots also look great with a dress or skirt and some tights for a dressier look.

Coats

Leopard Print-10

Hannah says:

A faux fur leopard print coat adds a bit of luxuriousness to any outfit… plus it’s really warm! Normally, I’m not afraid to mix prints together but, for this outfit, I let the coat be the statement piece and chose a neutral palette for the rest of the outfit.

Oversized pieces and flowy fabrics has also been a big trend, so I put together my favourite nude-pink culottes with a light copper tone blouse with a twist front. I think the tonal colours really compliment the leopard print – the mix of textures and colours create an elegant final look (so of course I wore this to the Dorchester!).

To finish the look, I picked out the black spots in the coat and accessorised with a beautiful croc textured DVF bag (another animal print big for autumn and winter!) and some simple black heels. However, the great thing about this look is that you can easily dress it down, by wearing some chunky sneakers or some leather chelsea boots, if you’re wanting to go more casual.

My Fall Fashion Must-Haves – Fall 2018

From the layering to the rich colors, fall is my favorite season to enhance my style and dress to the nines.

The best season for fashion is amongst us: fall! From the layering to the rich colors, fall is my favorite season to enhance my style and dress to the nines. I love experimenting with different outfit combinations, patterns and colors, but I do have a few staples that I absolutely need to complete my fall wardrobe.

These are my fall fashion must-haves for 2018:

Warm & Cozy Skirts

Although it may seem counterproductive during the colder months, skirts are hands down my favorite thing to wear during this season. I love wearing tights and boots with a cozy skirt, particularly those made from wool or corduroy fabrics.

Over-the-Knee Boots

The days before over-the-knee boots are times I don’t want to remember. Over-the-knee boots have been a staple in my colder weather wardrobe for over two years. I like having a black pair and a brown pair to choose from.

Brown boots: Carlos by Carlos Santana

Rich Colored Nail Polish

Instead of going to the nail salon, I’ve been doing my own nails for the past few months, and I’ve been loving it. I always look forward to wearing darker, richer nail colors when the season changes, and this year is no different. I’ve recently been loving fall tones from KL Polish, a nail polish brand created by one of my favorite YouTubers, Kathleenlights.

Faux Fur Jackets

I definitely jumped on the furry jacket bandwagon this year! These glamorous faux fur jackets have enhance my wardrobe in both the style and the warmth department. I love this trend so much that I have another faux fur jacket on the way to my house right now, and I plan to add more to my collection.

Plaid

Plaid certainly isn’t revolutionary for fall, but it’s definitely my favorite pattern for the season. I do enjoy the typical flannel shirt, but my favorite way to wear this classic pattern is as scarfs or skirts. I have a fair share of plaid scarfs that go perfectly with any casual outfit, and I’m happily adding to my plaid skirt collection (see cozy skirt photo above).

What I Wore to a Music Festival – Country LakeShake

Long time, no blog.

But I’m back! And my first post on my revamped website is one I’m excited for. I recently attended Country LakeShake, a three day country music festival in Chicago.

Aside from the impressive music lineup, I was most excited about picking outfits for the festival, as LakeShake 2018 was my “Coachella moment” this year (hoping to eventually go to the real thing!) Here’s a roundup of what I wore that weekend.

Day 1: Frozen Boho

IMG-7673

The first day of the festival was much colder than expected: 60 degrees and rainy. But that didn’t stop me from wearing what I planned (aside from some alterations). I wore a beautiful hand-crocheted top that I purchased from Etsy, and although I planned to wear denim shorts with this top, my black jeans suited the look and kept me warm. My black lace duster truly fulfilled my dream of looking “as Coachella as possible”. I accessorized with a dainty long necklace, a black belt with gold hardware, and my most comfortable black sandals. I made sure to bring a black faux leather jacket to replace the duster at nightime.

Day 2: Wildflower

This gorgeous dress from American Eagle was the star of the show for my day 2 outfit. This dress reminds me of something you would find by For Love and Lemons, but way more affordable! I accessorized the dress with a double layered horn necklace, a cuff bracelet and hoop earrings. My shoes were the same as my first outfit, only brown. And yes — I bought them in two colors. They’re that comfortable.

Necklace: Neiman Marcus Last Call

Bracelet: Lucky Brand

Day 3: Space Cowgirl

I made sure to saved the best for last: my favorite outfit inspired by this belt. Its baby pink velvet fabric and its amazing silver hardware made me fall in love with this piece instantly. The buckle features cestialial designs, and I love the beaded lining. I styled this belt with a distressed white denim skirt, a corset-like striped top, and cool silver velvet booties. A silver choker, cuff bracelet and earrings tied the look together.
