NYE ACCESSORIES

December 29, 2019 No Comments

With only a few days until 2020, I wanted to round up a few pieces that could easily be added to existing garments in your current wardrobe to spice up any outfit for the night’s festivities. Though it may not be a hindrance, I’ve come to realize that it’s not always necessary to purchase an entirely new outfit for every event that occurs in life. Also, depending on your NYE plans, it may be as simple as adding a few accessories to elevate an already appropriate ensemble to something slightly more celebratory. Hopefully if you’re still unsure of what to wear or don’t have time to order something new, the items below can provide some inspiration!

SHINE ON

December 29, 2016 1 Comment

I can hardly believe that this will be my final blog post of 2016. That said, of course I had to bring a bit of glitz as we quickly approach one of the biggest party night’s of the year. From the moment I saw this cold-shoulder embellished knit I knew it was definitely worthy of a photo shoot, however, I was a bit stumped with the direction I wanted to go in for this look. Because of the top’s neutral color, I had no problem finding other pieces to pair it with; it was just a matter of whether I wanted to dress it up or dress it down. After searching through the archives of my previous looks, I decided to go with something a bit more formal. Metallic pleated midi skirts have literally been EVERYWHERE this season, and though I was hesitant to jump on the trend for that reason, there was something about this skirt in particular that I couldn’t resist. For me, I think it was the fact that the material was similar to a soft suede instead of the typical rigid, foiled texture. Also, though it may be hard to see, I liked the uniqueness of the metallic accents and how they were scattered across the skirt with a marbled effect, rather than the usual opaque coated style. Overall, I loved how these 2 pieces complimented each other and to keep them as the focal point, I chose black accessories to let them shine. I am super excited to see what 2017 has in store and can’t wait to show you guys some of the ideas I’ve been working on. I hope everyone has a fun and safe NYE. See you next year! 🙂

FUR SEASON

January 5, 2016 3 Comments

The time has finally come! I am a true lover of faux fur pieces and every year around this time I relish in the ability to break out all of my fuzzy items that keep me looking chic and feeling warm. It is amazing how many brands have expanded their lines over the years and began incorporating many more quality faux fur items. Whether you are a fur fan like myself, or just someone that is looking to experiment with the texture in your wardrobe, you can now find pieces almost everywhere that will meet your trendy needs. Because the coat brings such drama, I chose to keep the rest of my outfit minimal with a cream funnel neck sweater and grey skinny jeans. I don’t know about you, but whenever I wear fur I feel extremely luxurious so I decided to keep that theme going with my Fendi sunglasses, which have a tortoise print that seems to mimic that of the coat, and my Chanel inspired chain handbag. I completed the look with my favorite black ankle boots and was ready to hit the streets! I definitely recommend experimenting with fur if you haven’t already, and if you have, try getting your hands on some fur items that you wouldn’t usually go for like a scarf or vest. Stay tuned, fur season has only just begun!

GOTH GLAM

October 23, 2015 6 Comments

Another one of my favorite fall trends is dark lips. So for me, it was only right that I build a look around them. After applying such a bold lip color I decided to stick with the “dark” theme and intertwine another trend, GOTH. The gothic look is one that has been popping up all over runways as a tribute to the culture for a few years now. Celebrities like Rihanna and Rita Ora wear the look often and seem to be in full support of it; so I finally decided to take a stab at it myself. Naturally, it would be obvious to include a lot of black pieces, and I did, but I also chose to soften the look by wearing a tunic with navy and white stripes. By doing this, it broke up the harshness of the leather jacket, shorts, and thigh high boots. Tall boots are a fall essential because you can get away with showing a little skin while also staying warm as the temperatures drop. Looks like these can also be modified for winter with a quick addition of tights and a heavier coat. So how do you like the look? I personally think it’s one that I will continue to experiment with, in the following months. Try it for yourself and let me know what you think! Until next time. 😀
