Hello My Beauties!

Here’s to jumping back into the swing of things and actually posting for once! If you don’t understand the pun, you’ll get it soon enough.

Anyways, my Outfit of the Week is this amazing, and totally comfortable, Jumper! Now, I must admit, the colors are quite dark and not very spring/summer like, but the fabric is so light-weight that it compensates for that. Also, the back is open so I don’t know how I’d be warm enough in the Fall? Tell me what you guys think below!

I have never worn a jumper before, but I know that they are seriously making a comeback, so when I saw this in Target, I just went with it! (BTW Target has some really nice items out right now… just saying).

I would easily pair these with a pair of either playful or sophisticated heels, based on what you are doing, and a colorful statement piece like this necklace I wear in the photo! That way you can incorporate a little bit of warmth into this otherwise darker outfit. Also, don’t forget a sweater! You’ll need it on those colder summer nights.

Inspiration From FarFetch.com!

Hello My Beauties!

So today we’re going to try something different, okay? Okay.

A little while ago I was approached by farfetch.com, and after researching the company I’ve learned that since its start in 2007, it has become one of the most successful high-fashion e-commerce site around. Cool, right? They have clothing from all over the world, including Paris, New York, Milan, and more! Not only do they have some of the big-name fashion brands, they also sell clothing from boutiques that is sent right to your door!

Now, I must admit that the products are on the pricier side, no lies here. But what did you expect, it’s high-fashion! That didn’t restrict me from putting together a few pieces, some being very unexpected, from their site! I think it’s always smart to get inspiration from high-fashion trends, and that is what I’ve done for you! So, without further a due, here is my FarFetch Inspiration Look! I hope you enjoy 🙂

THE OUTFIT

I wanted this outfit to look like you were just lounging in your beach cottage, an Arnold-Palmer in your hand and the sound of the waves crashing behind you. In all honesty I just pictured myself at my family’s annual vacation spot in South Haven, Michigan, in the summer!

For this outfit I choose these pants by Cedric Charlier. I’ve been really into patterned straight-legged trousers, so these were BEYOND perfect for the look I wanted!

I then needed to find a nice, neutral, complimentary top that looked like you could just slip into it and relax, or even wear it as a coverup when necessary! Either way, this Alice and Olivia V-Neck T-Shirt fit the bill!

THE ACCESSORIES

After I put together the outfit, I wanted to find some simple accessories to go with it! That is when I found these beautiful Linda Farrow Sunglasses. I honestly can’t stop starring at them, they’re so amazing! I always support the vintage-eyewear look, and these most definitely deliver! I think they wrap up the whole vintage-beach vibe very nicely, don’t you?

I also found this very adorable Floral iPhone Case by Dolce & Gabbana, a gorgeous ‘Rosa Folia’ Candle by Diptyque, and THE perfect table book: Kelly Wearstler’s Valentino: Thirty Years of Magic as an added bonus!

My Holiday OUTfit!

Posted on December 18, 2014December 17, 2014 Posted in Accessories, FashionTagged accessories, Fashion, holiday outfit, OOTD, Outfit, product, Review, verbenaLeave a comment

Hello My Beauties!

This holiday season I had the amazing opportunity to work with Verbena, an adorable boutique in Ann Arbor! I purchased the dress with 10% off from the store and then I was able to borrow the handbag for the night. It was so much fun, and both the dress and the bag fit perfectly! I put this outfit together as a date night/dinner out/even holiday party outfit that’s really simple while having a more mature feel to it! On the other hand you can style the dress to be more party than dinner party. Add a chain bag for a little glam factor or a classy clutch to change things up! Either way you will definitely appreciate both pieces this season!

Also, you guys can get 10% off on these items and more! I absolutely love this store and everything that they have! Go to verbenaannarbor.com for more info and enjoy all of the things they have to offer!

6 Stocking Stuffers For Under $10

Hello My Beauties!

I completely understand, the search for inexpensive Stocking Stuffers is a hard one! Even finding a cute little present for a friend without breaking your bank is tricky. So, if you want the best gift idea, or just a last minute buy, look no further than this blog post!

Bath and Body Works Mini Candles

If you ever want a great little gift idea for the holiday season, I would first go to Bath and Body Works! They have great scents that are very inexpensive. I included the minis because, even though they are slightly over $10, you can get a full line of products for a low cost.

Forever 21 Jewelry

If you are looking for a great piece of jewelry that looks a lot more expensive than it actually is, go to Forever 21! They have all different sorts of earrings, necklaces, and rings ranging from $4-10!

Fuzzy Socks

In my book you can never go wrong with fuzzy socks. Whether they are used around the house or at night with lotion, these socks are a girls best friend this winter! I have seen some animal ones at Old Navy and Bath and Body Works as well, but honestly fuzzy socks are pretty universal. Go to any clothing/fragrance store and I bet you that you will find a great pair for a low cost!

Kate Moss Lipstick

Now this is my personal favorite brand of lipstick, but any drugstore kind will be perfect! I love Rimmel London’s Kate Moss (as I have rambled about many times before) for many, many reasons. But the best thing is that they last and are very pigmented, so there is no worries when going out for a holiday dinner with the family! These were $6 each and definitely worth the money.

Pajama Pants

Old Navy is having a great sale right now where all pajama pants are $6! I have a couple of pairs that I love and being able to get them for that cheap is so great! So if you are shopping for a gift or something a little more intimate (if you know what I mean 😉) then head over and get a pair!
