Fall Shoe Edit Part Two

November 12, 2014

My first shoe edit this season was definitely more black-and-white themed, so I decided I needed to inject a bit of color into my footwear as the weeks progressed. I fell in love, surprisingly, with New Balance sneaks after a recent trip to their outlet. They are exceedingly comfortable and I love the fun color combos. The J.Crew flats and TOMS Botas were scores from the Scarlet Threads Consignment sale. Both were brand new and around $20 each!

I had purchased another pair of knee-high black leather boots from Shoemall.com but had to send them back for a refund… They had been shoddily pieced together and were already forming a hole around the calf on their first wear out! I also must say that I was thoroughly unimpressed with Shoemall’s customer service, I will not be using their site again. Now, on to the new kicks!

I’m hoping that all of these comfy sneaks will come in handy during my upcoming trip to New York! From what I hear, there will be a lot of walking involved 😉

What are your packing tips? With just a carry-on allowed, I’m going to need all of the help I can get!

Beaded Blush Top and Beige Skirt

October 10, 2014

Don’t get me wrong, I love sheer, flowy maxi skirts… One thing I can’t get behind, though, is the tiny little barely butt-cheek grazing mini skirts that are usually attached to them. My solution? Cut out the offending part of the skirt and wear a midi-length nude slip underneath it! Coverage, while still allowing the skirt to flow.

For this look, I wanted to mostly keep it to pale shades of beige, blush and nude with some metallic pops of gold and pink. I LOVE this clutch… It’s feminine but a tiny bit edgy in metallic leather.

I love these flats, but even after multiple uses, they still eat up my ankles! A little moleskin on the inside lip helps a bit.

#flatlay

October 4, 2014

I could spend hours perusing the hashtag “flatlay” on Instagram. The carefully cultivated collections of items, artfully laid out, sometimes as if everything just fell perfectly in to place on it’s own… And quite often, an outfit idea that I save to my phone to inspire me at a later date. Below are my first 3 posts, joining the #flatlay movement.

Emerald Phillip Lim and Gold Accents

March 27, 2014

 

Philip Lim OOTD Lookbook Style Fashion

I thought it fitting that my first post on the new blog would include a few of my favorite things! I’ve been mildly obsessed with the vibrant color of this Phillip Lim for Target blouse ever since I made it up in my mind to stay awake till 2 in the morning to buy it. The camel pumps from Forever 21 are surprisingly comfortable and act as a great neutral against the bold top and all of the gold jewelry. I’ve been on such a gold kick recently, I feel like I haven’t been giving any of my silver-toned pieces a chance. Here’s to mixing it up!
