Happy New Year everyone, I hope you all had an amazing holiday season. So far, the cold weather seems to be holding off enough to get out and still feel comfortable enough to shoot without a coat and not freeze to death. I recently found this tweed plaid shift at forever 21 for such a great price I couldn't pass it up. Would you ever guess that it was just 28 dollars? The fabric is a nice quality and I love how the bottom is just frayed. This one is so easy to style, it makes perfect sense to add a black body suit, I chose a turtleneck but you could easily wear a blouse or even a long sleeved tee. Normally I would wear my over the knee boots bare legged but today I decided to add black tights. You could even wear a textured pair for an extra punch if you like. Being so into hats lately, when I saw this cute number at my sisters I thought I would just borrow it thinking it would be an adorable touch. Thank god for sisters...especially when you have one that is so willing to LET you borrow. On the day I shot this outfit it was snowing but it was a wet snow so we just grabbed an umbrella, also trimmed in black. I did bring along a coat but the outfit was just to cute to cover up. Even when you are wearing something as simple as a shift, there are always things you can add to take your look to another level. A brooch or some really fun earrings would also be a great idea. Just that little extra bit of something. When I am planning my outfits I always take a quick look around my closet to see what I have that would complete my look. Sometimes I surprise myself, you never know what you will find that you forgot you even had.
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!!

Nowadays, there’s a bit of a rock n’ roll streak running through the lines of several brands. The Ramones, Kiss, ACDC…etc. Fashion’s finest are taking to the streets in rock band t-shirts and jackets, and tearing their items to shreds for an edgier feel. It couldn’t be more true how everything comes back in style.
I found this padded bomber featuring an embroidered ACDC graphic on the chest and printed world tour logo on the back. You could wear it with jeans and a tee for a laid back feel or pair it with leggings as I did today. Underneath a layered knit with a drawstring cowl neck adds a little more warmth. It also is available in a few other colors.

Happy Friday Everyone!!
I posted this outfit on Instagram a few days ago, so I decided to put it up on my blog because something may just surprise you!! We have seen this patch trend from the runways to the streets and on pieces ranging from forever21 to designers such as Stella McCartney, Mira Mikati, Anya Hindmarch, and even Dolce and Gabbana.
Whether you want an artsy or more edgy vibe, the decoration and emoji-style detailing will not let you down. You can wear items completely covered or maybe just have 1 or 2 graphics. Pieces from the designers mentioned above may be a bit expensive for most of us, but that doesn’t mean you can’t join in on the fun. The sweater I have on today is under $20, and I don’t think anyone would ever even know. You can even get creative with this trend….I have seen adorable Iron on and Stick on patches…DIY!!
Below, I have linked today’s outfit and several other favorite patched pieces I have fell in love with at all price points. Thanks for stopping by today. Have an amazing weekend everyone!!

Happy Monday!!
I hope everyone is doing amazing! As the summer comes to a close I find myself questioning weather or not to invest in certain items. It is time to start thinking about our cooler-weather wardrobe , but sometimes it is just TOO hard to pass up on certain pieces (hint: today’s tank!!!)
I feel like it has been forever since I have put a new outfit post up on the blog, but I couldn’t be more excited to share how this ‘girls’ knit top purchase can be justified and worn right into the fall and winter.
When it comes to autumn dressing…layers are key…so what makes a tank top any different? For this one in particular, I would add either a black bodysuit underneath, a snug fitting turtleneck or long-sleeve top.
Today, I have it paired with vintage inspired jeans with white eyelet details, and pink patent pumps for an unexpected GIRLy pop. A pink and brown suede bag mixed with silver and black jewelry acts as a perfect combo between street and chic. Shop today’s look below:

Tee:Forever21(sold out,similar here/dress here)|Overalls:Forever21|Sandals:Birkenstock
Here is something to brighten up your Monday blues….this outfit is under $30. I originally had stopped in Forever21 and picked up a few pieces that I thought were cute and could mix with some other items I had at home. When I was paying in line I had the idea to layer this striped tee under the floral romper for a little pattern play. One trick for mixing patterns is to keep them in the same color family. Another is to treat stripes as a neutral.
I think this romper is too adorable to pass up. The red allover floral print is lush and striking and the boxy fit and adjustable straps lend you that overalls vibe. Below, I also added a few other similar pairs I love just as much. Thanks for stopping by today.

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)

TGIFFFFF!!
When I was shooting this look I couldn’t stop laughing and singing “workin at the car washhhh”
…Dino then said we should shoot at a car wash and that he would make it really cool…I ended the convo right there (even though I’m sure he would) Guys with their ideas…
Anyway, I have wanted a pair of these Stella McCartney platforms since they came out. They are a serious splurge, but I finally went for it. I think a majority of people have a love/hate relationship with these shoes. For guys, mostly just hate. When mine finally came and my dad first saw them his first response was “what are those…….?”
Personally, I just love them and that’s all that matters to me! They are a mix of trendy and classic, and have height and traction. I originally thought I wanted a black pair with a black bottom, but I thought the burgundy would look so good in the fall. I have them pictured in my head with boyfriend jeans and oversized sweaters.
Today I paired them with a denim utility romper unbuttoned with a striped tee…effortless, cool, and comfortable…with just a hint of disco.
Reach for your platforms this weekend and dance your troubles away!!
XOXO,

If you happen to be a girl on a strict budget then this outfit is the one for you. I have spoken about this before, you do not always have to have the most expensive items in your wardrobe to be stylish. Mixing high end together with less expensive things is done all the time by smart shoppers and no one will ever be the wiser. Just look for things that are made well and have great fabric. Believe it or not, this skirt was only $20.00 and it is the cutest!!! I found it at forever 21 one day when I was just shopping around looking for a few things. perfect for the office or on a day when you just need to run around getting things accomplished. During the summer I will very often wear dresses or skirts during the day because they are easy and lady like. I paired it with another inexpensive top from H&M. The wedges are Paul Andrew, the purse, j.crew, a bit more expensive but adds just the right touch, picking up the same neutral tone of the top and the stripe in the skirt. This is a smart looking outfit, very affordable and one would never guess what I paid for it. Don't be afraid to mix it up, you just might surprise yourself.

Serious Rock&Roll vibes this Friday….I mean why not IT IS the weekend!! Black and white stripes, a knotted tee, fedora, a skinny scarf with lips and paisley print, and of course statement sunnies=all of your rock fashion trends (minus the mohawk and ripped denim vest) combined into 1 chic outfit.
Remember that sale at Intermix I mentioned last week? That’s where I found this pair of striped Rag&Bone jeans for under $100…it seems as though they are sold out now so I linked a few other sites below (also pretty low in stock too) I have been obsessing over skinny scarves lately especially all of the ones from Rockins. You can wear them a ton of different ways and they add that free-spirited edge to your outfit. Shop this look below. Enjoy your weekend everyone!!!

Happy Monday Everyone!!!
I do not know about you, but I definitely have found love in this graphic oversized tee designed by Givenchy’s creative director Riccardo Tisci. What really interests me is that Tisci gets a majority of his inspiration from the streets and the diverse culture of America. As a graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology….I spent four years studying different ideologies of society and the deeper meanings behind both human relationships and institutions. I thought of sociology after I watched a brief video I found on the internet (that you can watch here) Tisci takes his personal thoughts and experiences and dives into his creative work. You may see repetitive symbols such as stars, Bambi, basketball, rottweiler’s, and even sayings such as the one on today’s tee “I Feel Love”…and they all hold meanings.
It only makes sense that I went with a very distressed and streetstyle look with denim, black booties, and a black leather choker. These Fendi bug Chelsea boots are my latest shoe purchase and I just am TOO obsessed!! Anyway…you can get this look and similar by shopping below:
Thanks for stopping by today!!

It’s FRIYAYYY!!! (thank god)
I am really excited to share today’s look because not only it is super cool, but perfect for those of you who are festival bound soon…not to mention…it’s under $40 (excluding the denim jacket).
I love flares because they always make your legs look extra long. This allover floral print pair are knit and really comfortable. I paired them with a rust halter and oversized denim jacket for a very relaxed look..ideal for going into the weekend. This daisy choker adds a little bit of a hipster touch.
I already have another great idea for these pants, so stay tuned for that! For now, you can shop this look below and additional print flares that I love. Thanks for stopping by today. Enjoy your weekend!! XOXO

Hey Everyone!!
I finally shot a bunch of new looks on Friday and I cannot wait to share them all with you! I gave today’s white look a modern twist with a black leather choker and my new favorite belt from B-Low the belt(a current must have!)
If you are ever looking for a great pair of wide-leg pants…check out Alice & Olivia. I now have a pair of these trousers in white, black, and orange. They are great and I love the fluid movement of them.
For accessories I added my calf-hair booties and my new yellow mini croc bag from Henri Bendel. I am loving the unexpected pop of yellow mixed with the spotted print…so fierce! This bag also comes with an optional crossbody strap so it is perfect for busy summer days running around the city. I added the links to this look below along with some other amazing options.
Thanks for stopping by!! Have a great week!!

Mini Skirts never really go out of style. They are fun fashion items that anyone can rock with the proper accessories. Today’s mini features an allover houndstooth pattern with two front pockets. I may also add this particular mini is under $20 (so crazy!!)
If you are looking to switch up your look consider pairing your mini skirt with tights, stockings, or leggings. On top you can also go with a bomber (which are very on trend right now) layered over a chunky knit or even a cropped leather/suede jacket. Shop this look and similar mini skirts below:

Happy Monday everyone!!! I hope everyone had a great weekend! I love love love my new Citizens of Humanity jeans with a cargo strap. They are very relaxed fitting and distressed at the knees. You can wear them with any pair of sneakers or flats, but I would not pair these jeans with a heel or wedge because they have too much of a worn-in appeal. I added these cream lace-up flats, which were a great Forever21 find and a perfect match to this tweed short sleeve top! For a purse, I went with a leather studded box clutch with a chain strap to add a little spunk!
