Culottes and Louboutins

You know the more you walk in Louboutins the easier it is? Well, I’ll tell you from experience that it’s definitely getting easier to stride in the 120mm beauties. I really love them and it’s such a shame not to wear them, so the next best thing would be to become a pro at walking in them (I’ll let you know what that happens, if ever LOL). Anyway, this whole look was a restyle of culottes I bought earlier this Summer. Lets take a look.. Top: H&M | Culottes: Zara | Shoes: Christian Louboutin | Bag: Chloe I previously styled…

Fringe Forward

Spring ahead, Fall behind and fringe forward right into fall. It’s no question that fringe everything will be in for the next few seasons, so why not pick up some key pieces?! I was able to get this Mango tee on sale (love!) and knew I had to wear it with my favorite Schutz fringe heels. Lets take a look.. Top: Mango } Shorts: Levi’s | Shoes: Schutz | Bag: Chanel On a personal note, no matter how much fringe I decorate my body with, it’s always hard for me to see my legs in pictures. I’m lucky enough that…

Feeling like an Olsen in Elizabeth and James

Is it just me or do you feel like every piece of anything the coveted Olsen twins design is something they would (or would have) wear/worn?! I mean I get that they’re into the edgy bag lady chic these days, but I could see them wearing this top I picked out. Am I right?! I mean lets take a look before you make that decision.. Top: Elizabeth and James | Pants: Keepsake the Label | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel I mean this definitely isn’t an Olsen look, don’t get me wrong. But just picture this and even more…

Maniere de Voir x Schutz

I came across the Maniere de Voir on Instagram and I had to have this outfit. I loved the textures and mixed media that the brand offered. Today’s look is something I would wear on a cool Summer night and definitely into the fall. Lets take a look.. Top & Skirt: Maniere de Voir | Shoes: Schutz | Bag: Chanel The embossed skirt and ridges on the neoprene top really make this outfit interesting for me. I’ve been trying to incorporate new textured items into my wardrobe that are wearable. I love that I could easily interchange the skirt and top…

Monday Affirmation

This is definitely easier said than done, but it’s something I try to practice everyday. I wake up and remind myself to be thankful for each day. It’s hard enough going through a routine and doing the same things over and over again, it’s another thing to actually enjoy what you’re doing. Committing to being happy each day (over time) does actually work. You end up in this habit of happiness instead of complaining and crankiness. Today I challenge you to choose to be happy and to live in the moment of today. You deserve to enjoy each day and…

Crop it Out x Helmut Lang

New fave: cropped jackets. They’re the perfect Summer staple, especially on cool nights. I came across this edgy Helmut Lang jacket that I’ll definitely be wearing into fall. Let’s take a look.. Jacket & Tee: Helmut Lang | Denim: J Brand | Shoes: Stuart Weitzman | Bag: Chanel I’m a huge online shopper so I had to have this ridiculously expensive tee shirt because it looked so perfect (and comfortable) with the jacket. Totally unnecessary, I was actually able to purchase a similar tee from H&M (shopping confessions). The jacket was 100% worth it. I love that it’s mostly white…
