Show Me Your Stripes

Dress:Asos(wearing petite)|Bodysuit:Wolford|Boots:Stuart Weitzman|Bag:Salar(sold out,similar below)

This holiday season try something a little different than your average red, green, or all black outfits. Show me your stripes!!! Horizontal, vertical, black, white, colorful, or any-which way stripes make a graphic statement. They add a new rule to dressing up. If stripes aren’t your thing, you can try adding prints or textured statements. 

I am SO in love with this jacquard mini dress (available petite, regular, or tall). The price is pretty crazy too! With the weather really cooling down these last few weeks, I decided to add an easy-to-layer Wolford bodysuit underneath. Turtleneck’s are really my thing (even though some people think they are for your grandma) I think they are always classy and elegant. With this look, the turtleneck adds a more effortless element.

Comfort and style don’t always go together….but when they do, isn’t it just so perfect?! Many people (including myself) are trading in their jeans for leggings and track pants. With the right accessories you can give your off-duty look the perfect mix of chic and sporty.

Today’s look is grid print track pant and with a matching sweatshirt. It was one of those outfits I saw on Asos and knew I had to have before it sold out. It is by a brand called Noisy May, which makes both petite and tall collections. If you are going to order from them make sure you are aware of this!! (I have on the petite) I added a beanie and a pair of pointed toe booties for a cool yet relaxed look that can be worn anywhere and everywhere. Below shop some of my favorites that I have also had my eye on!! Thanks for stopping by today!!

Pink and Oversized

Sweatshirt:Monki|Shorts:Rag&Bone|Sneakers:Vince (older)|Necklace:J.Crew (similar)

Pink & Oversized..two of my favorite things.

 As we sneak closer into the chillier weather most of us will be mixing pieces from both our summer and fall wardrobe. From shorts and booties, jeans and short sleeve tee’s, or as in today’s case shorts and an oversized sweatshirt…the combinations are endless…so don’t put away your summer attire just yet.

This high neck sweatshirt is a perfect transitioning piece. I love anything oversized and especially turtlenecks!! I added shorts a floral statement necklace with crystals because hey, it isn’t fall just yet!! Shop this look below:

Today I am mixing on trend pieces in an unexpected way. I purchased this skirt from Asos at the beginning of the summer with the feeling it was going to sell out (it did) …everything always goes super fast on that site. It is very unique with tiered ruffles and frayed hems.

I am usually such a ‘heel’ girl over flats but I have been trying to shoot more looks where I dress down apparel and make it more practical to wear during the day. With that being said, I decided to pair today’s main piece with a lightweight sleeveless knit, fedora, and classic slip-on sneakers. The allover stripes print gives the look character…making it a little polished yet also a little undone.

Below, find the links to today’s outfit. I have also incorporated similar items, cute summer tanks, and adorable alternative sneaker options that can be paired with a white skirt like this one. All items can be mixed and matched! (I am really loving the metallic sneaker and crotchet crop top combo)

The Set Up

TGIF

I cannot explain to you how much I love this set (and pretty much any cute set for that matter) They are just the best for summer and make it way too easy to get dressed. I purchased this one from Revolve, and they have soo many other adorable options as well. Many of the pieces I end up buying are flirty, effortless, and have numerous styling options.

The sleek stripes and tiered layers set me up to buy this one (pun intended). I immediately fall for anything girly. I don’t know what it is with me and ruffles these days, but I cannot stop (even though they can be such a pain to iron). This is by the brand Privacy Please. They are a vintage-inspired label with the cutest pieces. Check some of them out below. I hope everyone has an amazing weekend.

Fringe Finishing

Tank:Joe's Jeans(older,similar here)|Skirt:Club Monaco|Choker:Asos|Bag:Mansur Gavriel|Sandals:Birkenstock

Hi everyone!!

Today’s look is casual and cool. What I love about this ribbed long skirt is that is can be dressed up or down. However, when I first saw it I imagined it styled very laidback with an oversized tee. I ended up liking it with this knotted tank I have and simple white birkenstocks, which epitomize casual comfort.

I added this bandana like choker with paisley print, which unexpectedly looks awesome with the fringe finishing on the skirt…occupying the spotlight. Below, shop this look and similar items at a very low price. Thanks for stopping by today!

Hi Everyone!!

It's almost the weekend again, I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday. Unfortunately, I spent most of it working but that's ok, it's for the future., other than that I spent what was left with family and friends. I'm looking forward to getting back down to the shore and plans are in the making. We have been going as a family to Long Beach Island, New Jersey since I was a child. LBI is just so beautiful, relaxing and a place we can all get together and just hang out in a pair of shorts and a tee, go for a bike ride, happy hour or to the beach…I cannot wait.

Today's outfit is a combination of old and new. I have on a white tee that I paired with a blush vest and leather wrap necklace I borrowed from my mom. I love the vibe of these three pieces together…very cool yet still chic. I finally got my hands on a pair of cropped flare jeans. I found this pair at H&M. I love the raw hem (and the price makes them even better). This style pant looks great with tailored pieces and block heels for an off-duty denim style. Pure Jeanius. 

Stripe Shirt Dress

One of my favorite things about the line BB Dakota is that they allow you to have fun with their pieces and style them in your own way. I own a few of their shirt-dresses and they are seriously the best. They usually come with a button-in lining so you have so many options. You may decide to wear it as a dress, an oversized shirt, or even unbutton it and wear as a longer layering piece.

Today’s look is all about the shirt-dress. I decided to give my stripes a little bit of sas with a beaded flower choker and my favorite over-the-knee boots…and does this leather vest look familiar to you?! If it does, that’s because it is the BCBG wrap dress you may have seen me in recently…another great versatile item. Below I have rounded up a few of my favorite shirt-dresses right now along with similar chokers.

You Make Me Blush

Co-Ord-Asos|Blouse:Anne Fontaine|Bag:Chloe(sold out)|Booties:Reed Krakoff(older)

Dino Petrocelli Photography

Co-ords have been such a popular trend lately. Whether it is due to the fact they can be worn any time of the day, on any occasion, or maybe because they have an awesome print…

My reason for this set? I love that the tailored vest and wide-leg culottes are not your average and predictable skirt and crop top. Originally I planned on wearing the vest with a silk neck scarf, but I love the white blouse combination. The double collar on this one adds a chic and sophisticated touch.  I kept my accessories to a minimum today and added my Faye small shoulder bag by Chloé for a more refined look.

When it comes to wearing color I am such a pink girl or in this case…blush. If you are more of a neutral girl…be sure to check out the silver gray version below along with similar items!! Happy shopping!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Flower Power

Shorts:Alice and Olivia| Top:Theory| Jacket: Nicholas (now on sale)| Sandals:Stuart Weitzman|Choker:Asos|Bracelets:David Yurman,David Yurman,Vita Fede

Todays outfit consists of these Alice and Olivia white shorts and this silk black top. When I add my gladiator sandals and this Nicholas floral biker jacket the outfit takes on a new and dramatic look. Biker jackets, which have become a wardrobe staple of the millennium, have changed drastically over the years. Designers are adding everything from prints to embellishments, and just by pulling in a few different things…be it a hat, belt, jewelry, or shoes a look can completely change. I am all about a choker these days, and absolutely love what this multi-row festival-esque necklace brings to the outfit.
