Fashion Friday Fur

Hello there, it’s your resident freezing lady, coming in loud and clear complaining that I’M SO COLD. Haha, but in all seriousness it’s one of my favorite things to find something chic that actually keeps me warm. Cold girls, meet my new fur vest (possibly more of a sweatshirt, but I’m going to call it a vest because IDC). It’s furry, warm, perfection all wrapped up into one. Lets take a look.. Vest: 525 America | Denim: J Brand | Boots: Stuart Weitzman, similar | Bag: Chanel AN ACTUAL VEST. Totally obsessed. There’s no buttons or hooks down the center,…

Fashion Friday: Floral, leather and the beach

This week I was so lucky to have my good friend Amanda (@amandaelle_photography on Instagram) take pictures of my outfit. It was so much fun wearing heels and taking pictures in a not so heels environment. I loved that the water and sky backdrop complimented the colors in my top and blazer. Take a look.. Blazer: H&M | Top: Forever 21, similar | Denim: Paige | Shoes: Prada, similar | Belt: Hermes, similar To answer your first question, yes I totally wore my Prada shoes in the sand, and honestly I’ll never buy another designer besides Prada again (half…

Fashion Friday: Cobalt Blue

Happy 4th of July! Today I’m going to show you an outfit with one of my favorite statement colors, cobalt blue. It also happens to be a great statement color to wear this week while celebrating. Take a look.. Top: Zara | Skirt: Necessary Clothing | Shoes: Vince Camuto I’ve been looking for the perfect outfit to wear this Zara open lace shirt with. I had to wear my own crop top under it because the shirt comes open. This skirt worked perfect because it was just the pop of color I needed. You can really appreciate the detail in…

Fashion Friday: The White Blazer

Good morning and Happy Friday! I know I always say “Happy Friday”, but if we can start on a high note, I always like too! Oh, and guess who just became a Mon-Fri part of the workforce, this girl! Sorry, maybe I’m sharing too much today, I’ll start the fashion talk now.. So, the White Blazer.. probably the most loved and also one of the most anxiety ridden pieces of clothing (second to white denim). Anxiety ridden, at least for me, because, SO MUCH WHITE. It’s like a stain waiting to happen. I swear rain water can stain white on…

Simply by Simone does Watches

Hello everyone! Good morning! So excitingly enough today I took pictures three times before I could actually get them on my computer. Infuriated? Yes, yes I was. Even better, was that my camera deleted the pictures from the actual camera memory every time I plugged it into the computer. Finally, I just took the pictures with my old reliable iPhone. My camera is SO lucky that I’m a grown adult now and no longer smash inanimate objects into little pieces when they don’t cooperate. HA (just kidding about that last smashing part) ANYWAYS… Today with a lot of LOVE I…

Bracelet Stacking!

Hello everyone! I LOVE jewelry as I’m sure many of you do too. Today I’m going to talk about bracelet stacking (arm party? whatever you want to call it). I always have to have bracelets on, just like I always have to wear a watch. It’s a part of my outfit. Ring: David Yurman, (Bracelets from Left to Right) Vintage, SimoneJ jewelry, David Yurman, SimoneJ jewelry, Hermes I was always the type of person to never mix metals. I even hated when my handbag hardware didn’t match my jewelry. Recently, I love mixing metals. It helps when you have two…
