Lingerie Lace (that’s totally wearable)

Lingerie Lace (that’s totally wearable)

So these are sold as shorts, but they remind me so much of sexy lingerie. I’ve been dying for a pair of lace trimmed shorts, but some many did not satisfy my expectations. The satin like fabric of these shorts killed it for me! Take a look.. Top: Forever 21 | Shorts: H&M | Shoes: Valentino | Bag:Ferragamo I originally wanted to pair these shorts with a white man tailored shirt to create a tomboy chic look. Unfortunately all (and by all I mean the only one I own) my man tailored white shirts were too long. Like any problem…

Summer Uniform

Summer Uniform

White, white and more white. It’s my easiest Summer go-to. I love styling outfits that you can easily remake yourself, which I why I wanted to do another neutral feature. Let’s take a look.. Top: Maje | Denim: Loft | Shoes: Valentino | Bag: Ferragamo My favorite way to make any outfit interesting is to add some texture. I saw this peplum open kit top and I knew I would have a number of ways to wear it and it would add texture to any look. I also scored it for $60 (thank you Bloomies sales!). When you have a…

Styling a Trendy Item

Styling a Trendy Item

Hi everyone, happy Friday! Today I’m going to talk about making a trendy item your own. The center button down camel suede skirt is so popular right now (I’m sure you have the picture in your head right now, that’s how in it is). I love this look and I’ve loved watching other bloggers style it. Personally, I’m not about wearing something just because it’s in or because everyone else is wearing it, so I had to make this my own. I found this center zipper faux suede skirt on H&M at it was love at first sight. Lets take…

Love YOself

Love YOself

You either learn to love your (once athletic now slightly mushy) thighs or you let them kill you. I decided to do a few squats/exercises in the morning and to learn to love them. Ladies, you always have to work with what you got! So in the theme of embracing yourself, I give you this romper.. Romper: Olivaceous | Bag: Ferragamo | Shoes: Valentino | Bracelets: Hermes & David Yurman In the spirit of loving myself (ie. “yo-self” as in today’s title), here’s another fun fact: I grew up LOVING rap music (yes in my suburban, middle-class homeland, we LOVED Biggie, Juelz,…

Your girlfriend/bestie invites you over for dinner, out for drinks, shopping, or your man (love interest, hubby, boo, whatever you call your significant other) invites you to a movie or over his friends house and…..

Stripes & Fall Vibes

Stripes & Fall Vibes

I’m all about this hat trend that is going on right now. Wearing a big floppy wool hat with the right outfit makes all the difference. It also keeps my head warm, and if you don’t know me by now, I’m obsessed with being warm. I can’t stand being cold. So the hat trend is both chic and functional, at least for me. I was also able to work with my amazing photographer, Amandaelle, to get these outstanding shots of my outfit this week. Lets take a look.. Hat: Macy’s | Shirt: Forever 21, similar | Coat: Guess | Denim: Blank…
