Flowy Tribal

Hope everyone is having a fabulous weekend and had an even better Christmas!! Trying to get back into the swing of things now that the holidays are over… booo! Hope everyone got to shop the weekend after Christmas sales! I found some amazing finds, including this gorgeous Charlotte Russe tribal cardigan. I absolutely love the dark colors and it goes perfect with my coated oxblood skinny jeans. These over the knee Forever 21 boots have been on repeat lately (also seen here). They dress up any outfit and give it that perfect edge! Now for my absolute favorite find this weekend, this STUNNING emerald Michael Kors bag. Are you ready for this?? I got it half off!! I have been lusting over the Selma bags forrrrrevvvverrrr (because ya’ll know I am not paying full price), so I was beyond excited to snatch up this one (in my fav color at that!). <3

Countdown to Christmas Part III

Merry Christmas Eve!! So for my last outfit of my countdown to Christmas holiday looks is my glam or formal look! Let’s start with this skirt…. I can not get enough of it! Everything about it is glam! The feather detail is definitely a head turner! I have been craving a feather skirt for the longest time, but could not get myself to dish out $100 on a skirt. But when I found the skirt on Shop Dandy for $33 I almost had a heart attack! Unfortunately, the skirt sells out VERY fast and is currently sold out, so be sure to sign up for their email notification for when the skirt is back in stock! I paired this skirt with a festive, green, shimmer sweater from H&M and dressed it up with a great Target statement necklace. To give this look a pop of color, I accessorized the outfit with an amazing red Michael Kors clutch (one of my favorite Marshalls’ finds). To finish this look, I threw on an amazing studded pump! I won’t be posting for the next 2 days to spend time with family, so I hope everyone has a wonderful and blessed holiday. And hopefully Santa brings you everything on your Christmas list! <3

Countdown to Christmas Part II

Two more days ’till Christmas!! Today’s holiday look is a semi-formal look. What’s a holiday outfit without a great red pair of pants!? To compliment my red skinnies, I paired them with a gorg black, peplum top to dress them up a little. Peplum tops are great because they flatter any figure and give you a super skinny waist! To add some sparkle, I accessorized this look with a gold clutch and a gorgeous black, crystal, and gold statement necklace. The finishing touch to this holiday look are these amazing Valentino inspired heels! The versatile cream and black color palette take any outfit to the next level and they for sure will make you the talk of the party! <3

Countdown to Christmas Part I

EEEEEEE Christmas is almost here!! Today I am starting my countdown to Christmas holiday looks. For my first look, I am going casual with my Forever 21, Zara inspired skort. I seriously love this skort! It is so versatile and so easily dressed up or down! I paired it with this amazing plaid, flowy top with a cute zipper detail from Express ( I got it during their awesome 50% off sale that is still going on!) And what’s a holiday outfit without a little sparkle!? I bought these to die for J Crew sparkle tights at the J Crew outlet while they were having 50% off everything with an additional 20% off, so snagged these tights for only about $4! To keep it casual I finished this look off with my black Target booties. <3

Winter Wedding

Wooo hooo! It’s Friday and the day two amazing friends get married! To be honest with you I had a hard time trying to figure out what to wear to a Winter wedding, that’s outside (remember we are in Florida), and at a gorgeous ranch. I had to wait until the last minute on making the final decision on what to wear since Florida’s weather has been all over the place, but since Florida decided to be sunny and gorgeous today I figured a dress and an over the knee boot would be perfect! I found this ridiculously cute dress at Forever 21 and knew it would be perfect for a ranch wedding. The dress really had no shape but loved the print so I paired the dress with a skinny belt. I love that it has a boho feel but still looks polished. Now lets get started on these boots… I am kind of obsessed and to make it even better I got these during Forever 21’s 50% off boot sale, so they only ended up being about $22! Ya, I know! Beware, you’re going to be seeing these a lot because they pretty much make any outfit look amazing! Off to the wedding! Super excited to see some amazing friends I haven’t seen in ages!! <3

70’s Flair

There’s something about a good flared jean that just makes me smile. I LOVE that the flared jean is making a come back! I secretly wish that I lived through the 70’s because the trends that became popular in the 70’s have got to be some of my favorites, flared jeans, crop tops, mini skirts, high waisted denim, and anything bohemian style. This trend is all about the illusion of longer legs. To achieve this look, get your flares in a longer length and wear them with a great heel! I paired my jeans with a chunky, fuzzy sweater that I picked up from Forever 21. To stick with the 70’s vibe, I finished off this look with a great floppy hat. <3

Borrowed Menswear Part II

So yesterday was part one about shopping in your man’s closet and how to get the boyfriend look by really borrowing from your boyfriend’s clothes! Today is about borrowing your man’s basic button up shirt! The possibilities are endless with a great boyfriend button up! I wore mine open and paired it with a lose fitting basic v-neck and my favorite leather leggings, but you could also wear it buttoned, tucked into a cute skirt or even a good pair of skinny jeans. The key to the boyfriend look is all about balance. Since the boyfriend look is more of a relaxed look try pairing it opposite of a more structured piece. Also, If your small like me and your man’s clothing swallows you ( I had to find a shirt my husband shrunk), try looking in the little boy section since they will be smaller but still have the relaxed fit, and not to mention a way better color selection. Oh, and of course I had to finish off this look with an amazing Forever 21 bootie! <3

Borrowed Menswear Part I

My goodness this weekend flew by! Hope everyone had a great one! So, a few weeks ago I showed you how to go shopping in your own closet, but today I am doing part one of how to go shopping in your man’s closet! With the boyfriend trend being super big this season, instead of going out and buying boyfriend fitting items why don’t you just borrow from the closet next to yours! I found this brown elbow patch sweater in my husband’s closet and just loved how it fit! I paired it with a black basic tube skirt (because black and brown is probably one of my most favorite combos that is so misunderstood!), black knee socks, and black booties. Knee socks are another trend that I have been loving this season! Knee socks look amazing with about any fall shoe, whether it be a bootie, high boot, or flat! To top it off, I threw on my Sophie and Trey turban headband! <3
