Black & White + GIVEAWAY!! Stuart Weitzman + $600 Nordstrom Giftcard



November 15, 2015

Hello & Happy Sunday!

While I don’t normally post on Sundays, this giveaway opportunity was too good to pass up for you readers. (Sharing the love, yo!) Check out the post and find out more details on the giveaway below!

Fall style is really easy. The formula is really about adding pops of color to a neutral color palette. In this outfit, I accessorize with burgundy or wine colored heels, the perfect accent for fall. For anyone out there who feels like they are color-challenged, this is your season. Pick one fall shade like burgundy/wine, navy, or olive-green and wear it with your greys, black & white.

Fall Color Combination: Desert Sage. + Giveaway!



October 8, 2015

Did you know that there is an organization that decides the color palette for each season? If you’ve ever heard of Pantone colors, that’s them. You’ll find that most of the clothing and accessories offered each season fall somewhere in the color range they have set. Pantone is doing what we call fashion forecasting, predicting and establishing the trends about 8 months ahead of the season. They work so far in advance to bring us the colors we will all be wearing  for the season. While all of us were ready for summer back in March, the colors for this fall were already out. They are such an authority on color that fashion designers and retailers look to them for color direction when they go to design or buy a collection.

ASOS COLLECTION ASOS Jacket in Bonded Knit • $51.50 • Asos
3.1 Phillip Lim – Pebbled Leather Medium Pashli • $895 • Scoop NYC
Shaoxing Lidong Trading Co Style Study Skirt • $59.99 • ModCloth
Dress the Population ‘Beverly’ Sequin Chiffon Minidress • $198 • Nordstrom
Superga ‘Cotu’ Sneaker • $64.95 • Nordstrom

One of the colors for this fall that really grabbed my attention is called desert sage. This muted green shade is perfect for fall and the changing weather. Take a look at some clothing and accessories in this beautiful shade.

The importance of neutrals continues to evolve with Desert Sage, a cool and soothing greenish-gray that serves as the ideal neutral across the Fall 2015 palette. Timeless and unobtrusive, yet powerful enough to make a statement on its own, Desert Sage speaks to the feeling of naturally inspired colors that remind us of things that are real and not invented.

Shop more desert sage picks!

And now for the GIVEAWAY!

Board Shorts & Fringe. + NYFW Giveaway!



August 5, 2015

Hey y’all. Happy Hump Day! This week has already been interesting. Anyone else already looking forward to the weekend?! Vacation towards the end of summer is what’s keeping me going. Speaking of vacations, this giveaway is one you want to enter!

Can I just say how much I love this outfit. The A.L.C. shorts were a Last Call sale purchase and I’m so glad I have them. Printed shorts have been on my mind lately so I’m glad I got to rock this pair. Board shorts aren’t normally my style but these were just too cool when I put them on. Longer length shorts are great for those who aren’t as confident about their legs but still want to achieve that look.

Can’t forget about the accessories! These fringe heels are so fun. As soon as I saw them, I went out and bought them (something I rarely do #fr). I knew they would be a versatile yet trendy shoe to add to my wardrobe. Fringe has been a huge trend this spring/summer and I had to join in.

Haute tip: One of the best ways to try out a new trend is to try it with an accessory like shoes or a handbag. Then you aren’t making the full commitment and don’t have to spend a ton of money.
