Fashion Friday: Leather Skirts

Fashion Friday: Leather Skirts

I’ve been looking for a nice leather skirt for the longest time. Fortunately for my bank account and PETA, I haven’t found a perfect one just yet, but I have found a perfect FAUX leather skirt. This week, I paired it with a oversized blouse, trench coat and suede booties. It’s the perfect casual meets dressy look. Blouse: Romeo and Juliet | Skirt: Tinsel | Shoes: Steve Madden | Coat: Guess I love wearing an oversized shirt or sweater with a skirt. It’s so much more comfortable than wearing a tight shirt tucked in. Pairing a flowy feminine blouse with…

Casual Wednesday: Coping with the Weather

The not so fun part about Fall, is always the weather. Is it going to be hot, bitterly cold, raining or snowing? The answer: Who knows?! Certainly, sometimes I don’t think Mother Nature even knows what it’s doing. Today, I’ve dedicated this post’s style to rain boots! Let’s take a look.. Top: Splendid | Vest: Athleta, similar | Denim: Seven for all Mankind, similar | Rain Boots: Stuart Weitzman | Hat: Burberry  I’m so happy that in recent years, rain boots have become a lot more fashionable, with designers adding new prints and styles by just getting inventive with rubber/plastic.…

Thanksgiving at Someone Else’s Home, Style: The Guest

I don’t know about you, but when I eat during Thanksgiving, I don’t stop. It’s the most disgusting day of the year food wise, as I always eat until I’m about to pop. So with the next outfit I chose, I took that into consideration. I went with a oversized sweater and a skirt that sits above my stomach (Haha), lets take a look.. Sweater: Guess | Skirt: Alythea | Booties: Tory Burch, similar This outfit is so easy to throw on for dinner with your family. It’s important to look nice but to also be comfortable, especially if you’re…

Casual by Simone: Poncho Lovin’

If you’re like me, and always have trouble putting together casual outfits, this one’s for you! Recently, I’m loving ponchos. They’re perfect for casual wear, and they’re easy to style. Let’s take a look..

Fashion Friday: Monochrome

Fashion Friday: Monochrome

Recently, I’m in love with neutrals, including winter white. Winter white is basically just an off-white color that becomes a pain to match if you don’t shop for these off whites in the same store. Personally it bothers me if one white is more grey, more tan, more beige, and it really just messes with the whole look if you ask me. (I swear I’m not always this neurotic about outfits) If it doesn’t bother you, shop around, be my guest! Let’s take a look.. Coat: H&M | Sweater: Loft | Blouse: Loft | Denim: Loft, similar | Shoes: Vince…
