Casual Wednesdays: Zippers

Casual Wednesdays: Zippers

I love the little details on clothing. One of my favorite ways that designers make something that’s normally rather ordinary into an eye catching piece is when they add zippers. This week I’m going to show you one of my all time favorites. Take a look.    Sweater: old, similar here | Leggings: Zara, similar | Shoes: Michael Kors, similar | Scarf: Nordstrom, similar, similar   As the weather changes I love wearing sweaters and, dare I say, leggings. Ok I said it, but let me explain. I love a good heavy/thick pair of leggings. The ones I’m wearing here are from…

Fashion: Work Style

Fashion: Work Style

          I haven’t had any jewelry inspiration lately, so today I’m going to talk about making your wardrobe part of you “workdrobe.” I think we all have a lot of staple items in our closet, for example, black/white go to blouse, black blazer, black dress pants, and LBD. These items can almost always transition into your work style. Here are a few of my most recent work looks…     Blazer: Nasty Gal, similar | Blouse: Forever 21, similar | Pants: H&M | Shoes: Vince Camuto | Bracelets: SimoneJ jewelry Most of these looks are more generic than my usual more…

Fashion: Palm Leaves and Pineapples

Fashion: Palm Leaves and Pineapples

Hello, hello! I know I usually do a jewelry post on Wednesday, but today I’m going to change it up a little with an outfit post! Take a look..   Top: Necessary Clothing | Shorts: H&M | Sandals: Tory Burch, similar | Sunglasses: Gucci Did you ever purchase something knowing you have nothing to wear with it, but you HAVE to have it? That was these shorts for me. I loved the colors and knew I didn’t have anything specific that matched them. Of course I could have done a white blouse, but how boring?! I was online shopping the…

Hi Everyone! I had a wonderful post set up for today, but it got deleted when all of my pictures for Wednesday also got deleted. So, in lieu of that post, and since I’m traveling, I’d thought I should share what to wear to the airport! Take a look..   Blazer: AQUA, similar | Shirt: Torn by Ronny Kobo, similar, similar | Leggings: Zara, similar | Shoes: Sam Edelman This definitely isn’t the most fashionable outfit I’ve even worn, but it was comfortable. My Aqua blazer is probably the most comfortable blazer I own and I think it dressed up…

Just another Manic Monday..

Just another Manic Monday..

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Are you ready for Monday? I’m most certainly drinking a LARGE cup of coffee as I write this. I chose the quote above to start today because change is such an important part of life. Usually, change is thought of as difficult. A new job, a new school, a new policy, dealing with loss, a difficult situation that changes your life, an illness you have no choice but to deal with. I think it’s human nature to fight these changes, to hold on to what we already know. Today, I challenge you to…
