Houndstooth & Leather

orlando, florida fashion blogger styles oasap houndstooth coat with h&m leather pants for a work inspired winter outfit
Happy almost Friday ya’ll!! So today officially feels like Winter here in Florida! I think this is the first super cold day we have had so far, so naturally I had to bust out my amazing new houndstooth Oasap coat! This baby fits like a glove ya’ll! Usually I feel like coats swallow me since I am petite but this one is nice and fitted, which I love! How cute would it be buttoned up over a LBD too?! I wanted to keep this look simple and chic, so I stuck with an all black and white color scheme and paired the coat with a leather blocked top and leather pants. Because, remember the more the leather the better! I finished this look off with a black beanie and oversized bag. I hope everyone has a great Thursday, it’s almost Friday! <3

Stripes & Leather

florida/ orlando fashion blogger styles tobi sweater with h&m leather shorts and windsor booties for a casual fall outfit
Happy Tuesday loves!! I hope everyone is having a great start to their week! So it seems like Florida finally got the cold front the rest of the US has been experiencing because brrr it is cold today! Luckily, I snapped these pictures over the weekend when it was still 80! Ya welcome to Florida! Yesterday it was in the 80s, today it’s freezing, and then this weekend it is suppose to be back in the 80s!! Florida never seems to make up it’s mind! Anyways! Today I am wearing my favorite, black and white! I cannot get enough of this oversized, stripped crop top from Tobi! It is definitely perfect for Florida Fall! Ps if you follow any of my Tobi links you can get 50% off your entire first purchase! It might just be me, but that’s pretty serious! To add to the Fall textures of this look, I paired my sweater with some high waisted, pleated leather shorts, which I am completely and utterly obsessed with so be ready to see them again, probably soon! I accessorized this look with a fringe crossbody and my classic black Rakini watch. Lastly, I threw on my Rag & Bone look alikes that I finally found for less than $30! Mmhmm, yup in love! I hope everyone has a fab day and only two days left to enter the $400 Nordstrom giveaway! <3

Vested Stripes

florida fashion blogger stypes black and white shift dress with oasap vest, h&m booties, mint and lolly necklace for a casual fall outfit
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend and Halloween! I also hope everyone stayed warm during that crazy cold front! Even Florida got quite chilly! Good thing I shot this outfit last week when it was still in the 80’s, unless I would have freezed my booty off! Dang crazy Florida weather! Anyways, I have been obsessing over the blazer vest trend for awhile, but could not find the perfect one with the perfect fit! So when I saw this amazing boyfriend fit one from Oasap, I thought I would cross my fingers and take a chance and order it and I am definitely glad that I did! I love the longer and loser fit! It looks so perfect with a dress, but also with jeans! I went black and white today and paired it with a striped, aztec shift dress. I wanted to add some pizzazz so I threw on my chunky gold Mint and Lolly necklace and finished this look with some black booties to give this look a touch of Fall. I hope everyone has a wonderful start to their week! <3

Chambray & Stripes

florida fashion blogger styles h&m chambray crop top, forever 21 maxi skirt, fringe purse, and fedora for a casual fall outfit
Happy Thursday loves! So today I am mixing two of my favorite things, chambray and stripes. I am totally in love with this cropped chambray blouse! It has the most perfect semi loose fit and the length is cropped but still long enough to cover your stomach when paired with high waisted bottoms. Here, I paired it with one of my favorite striped maxi skirts I got in the beginning of Summer. I accessorized with a fringe bag that I found thrifting for $10 and a black fedora. I finished this look with gladiator sandals and silver bangles. I hope everyone has a great Thursday! It’s almost Friday!! <3

Over The Knee

orlando/ florida fashion blogger styling forever 21 striped dress, dsw over the knee boots, and forever 21 black and gold necklace for a casual fall outfit
Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! So it’s finally starting to feel like Fall down here in Florida, even though I am sure it’s going to be short lived! So naturally, I had to bust out the over the knee boots! These for sure are going to be on repeat for Fall!! I cannot get enough of them! And the best part, they are only $50! Yup! I have been lusting over the Stuart Weitzman 5050s ever since I laid eyes on them last year, but being a Florida girl I couldn’t justify spending that much on a pair of boots that I wouldn’t get a chance to wear for very long. So I starting searching for the perfect, less expensive over the knee boot and boom DSW came to the rescue! In love! Be prepared to see them a lot more! ;) I paired my over the knee boots with a cute little striped, fit and flare dress (that is on sale for $15 by the way!). To finish this look, I dressed it up a bit with a black and gold chain necklace. I hope everyone has an awesome Monday! <3

Happy Tuesday! Let me just start off by saying this is my new favorite top! Right when I saw this top on Windsor’s instagram I knew I had to have it! The tassel detailing and high neckline make this top super unique, but yet it is so versatile! You can pretty much pair it with any bottom and you’ll have yourself a perfect, fun outfit! I decided to go black and white and paired it with some white cut offs. I pumped up the volume with a silver coin necklace and panama hat.

Coco to My Chanel- Link-Up

Happy Friday Eve!! So today I am super excited to be co hosting the Spotlight Weekly Link-up with Elle of Living in Color Style and Jacqueline of Stylin’ in St Louis! Thanks for having me ladies! So today’s link-up is on shorts, which living in Florida I can’t have enough of! These shorts have got to be my favorite! I mean who doesn’t love a good distressed pair of shorts? I paired them with this adorable “You are the Coco to my Chanel” tee from Style Lately. I wanted to stick with black and white to keep it chic, so I paired the tee with a black and white blazer and accessorized with a black and crystal statement necklace. Of course I had to throw on my Chanel inspired bag (maybe one day I’ll be able to afford a real one, but as of now, ya no) to match my tee! I hope everyone has an awesome Thursday and be sure to check out Elle and Jacqueline’s blogs for more pictures and read below on how to link up for next week! <3

Spring Showers

So although Spring brings beautiful weather here in Florida, it also brings many rainy days. Yesterday it rained from when I woke up to when I went to sleep, no joke. The best way of getting through a rainy day is by looking super cute, even in the rain! This Charles River Apparel red rain coat helps to do just that! I love that it has more of a trench feel with the belted waist and the color is so perfect. I paired it with a classic clear umbrella, because no one wants their umbrella to clash with their outfit! :) For my look, I went with a black and white color palette so my rain coat had a nice pop. I paired a classic polka dotted top with a cute striped skirt (and tiny polka dots if you look close). I accessorized with a black and gold statement necklace and some neutral loafers. Make sure you are following me on instagram, @Upbeatsoles, because I may be giving away a Charles River rain coat tomorrow! ;) <3
