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.. Photography: Amandaelle Poncho: Old Navy | Turtleneck: Gap | Denim: SevenFAMK | Boots: Enzo Angiolini | Boot Socks: Hue, similar  I’m really happy I added in this striped turtle neck under the heavy cowl neck poncho. It definitely added some life and media to the look. I love mixing black and brown and pulling it together by adding a leopard/cheetah piece. For this I chose a…

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…

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…

Sweater Weather

Sweater Weather

Chunky sweaters over sweaters are perfect for optimal warmth (aka my favorite thing ever). I’d say about half the time, even if you have the most gorgeous coat on, it destroys the out outfit. OK, maybe I’m exaggerating a little, it doesn’t destroy the outfit, but it hides it. And I dislike when that happens (I mean don’t we all?). So my point, sweaters keep you from having to wear a coat, probably until around December, which is great! Lets take a look at this weeks outfit.. Quarter Sleeve Sweater: Guess | Cowl Neck Sweater: Forever 21 | Leggings: Timing |…

How To: Statement Necklace

How To: Statement Necklace

Hi everyone! Wow, it doesn’t seem like Wednesday at all! Today I’m going to talk about statement necklaces, specifically, necklaces with color.

While I shop, I always try to have something in mind that will match the necklace before I purchase it. Here’s my first look: Shirt: Splendid, similar | Necklace: Charming Charlie’s, similar, similar I saw this necklace and it instantly reminded me about this shirt! I couldn’t find an exact match online, but it is in stores now.…
