Laced Up

Laced Up

Hello and happy July everyone!! Can you believe it’s July?! I could get dramatic about the Summer feeling half over but I won’t, instead lets talk fashion. So, tell me about of pair of lace up shoes that I don’t have to have (fyi there are none, I want them ALL). Unfortunately (or fortunately) my budget doesn’t allow for that, so I try to deiced (yes me making a decision is a joke in itself #libraprobs) on the best/my favorite lace up styles to purchase. I would love to get the Aquazzura lace up flats, but it’s not a logical…

What’s Black & White and Red All Over?

What’s Black & White and Red All Over?

Well it’s kind of my outfit, I’ve always wanted to use that saying for something LOL I googled the answer and realized it’s supposed to be “read” and the answer is a newspaper (dying because I never got that joke until now). I’ll stop questioning my intelligence and talk about my outfit. I’ve been saving for a Celine bag, but when I saw this gorgeous red Chloe bag, I had to have it. This outfit is nothing without the pop of red. Lets take a look… Top: Forever 21, similar | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Pour La Victoire |…

Blazer Addict

Blazer Addict

I legitimately live for blazers. I can always justify a blazer purchase and this recent purchase was no different. They instantly make any outfit look serious, like you mean business (and I mean what woman does not mean business?). Although I went with a more casual style with this blazer, it still has a stark seriousness to it. Lets take a look.. Blazer: BCBGeneration | Top: Aqua | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Sam Edelman | Bag: Rebecca Minkoff | Necklace: Charming Charlie’s, similar  I love the jewel tones in this blazer, it’s perfect for any season. I also love…

Casual Wednesday: Mustard Yellow

Casual Wednesday: Mustard Yellow

Wine shades of the world, beware. Mustard yellow is quickly becoming a fall staple that’s here to stay. As much as I love deep red tones in the Fall/Winter, I still find myself searching for other season appropriate colors. I love wearing this muddied yellow color as it’s bright and alive but clearly not something you pulled out of your Summer wardrobe. Let’s take a look.. Cardigan: Aqua, similar | Blouse: Loft | Denim: JBRAND | Booties: Steve Madden | Bag: Chloe, similar I wore this to my cousin’s 6th birthday party last weekend. As I’ve said before with these booties,…

Sweater: Joe Fresh (old), similar | Tied Shirt: Forever 21, similar | Denim: JBRAND | Boots: Chanel, similar | Photographer: Amanda Elle  I love combat boots, so when I saw these by Chanel in February 2013 I HAD to have them. Of course they quickly went out of stock and I wasn’t…

Casual with Stripes

Casual with Stripes

Hi All! I’m loving how popular stripes are this year. I love black and white stripes, but I was so happy when I found this black and gray striped shirt. The colors are so much easier on the eye. Sometimes the contrast between black and white stripes is too much for me. To keep it casual, I went with a low heel, denim and a leather/army green coat. Take a look. Jacket: Aqua, similar, similar | Shirt: Forever 21 | Denim: JBRAND, similar | Shoes: Vince Camuto | Bag: Chanel Stripes are the perfect neutral. You can dress them up or…
