Happy Friday! 

The holidays are quickly coming up! Which is why I'm sharing a holiday look with you today! This is one of my favorite outfits! This top from Shein.com is one of the most versatile and flattering tops I have ever come across. The color is gorgeous and goes so well with just about everything! I dressed it up for this post, but its also easy to dress with denim and booties,  olive skinny jeans or grey skinny jeans. 

I love today's look very much. Something about shorts and tights elevates the whole look to me. Coupled with a dramatic, statement necklace and it is a great look for a night out or a holiday party/dinner.

It is also perfect in the event that temperatures go from being in the 40's all week to 60's for the weekend and suddenly your outfit needs change from needing as many layers as possible to something cool and comfortable! 

I hope you like this look! As always, thank you for reading! 

XOXO

Happy Monday all! 

This past Wednesday I was lucky enough to be able to attend a VIP personal shopping experience at South Park Mall. The event was hosted by Suzanne Libfraind. Suzanne is a personal shopper for South Park. As a personal shopper, she offers to meet you at the mall for a shopping session where she helps you pick out the most flattering shapes, colors, and designs for you. For your first session with her, you get a complimentary three hours free of cost! 

This was my first time for an event like this, but it was clear that Suzanne went all out for it! She selected ten stores for us to go to over the course of the afternoon. At each store she had a handful of items selected to highlight for us. The whole experience was geared for the holidays; in particular gift ideas. 

Each store was ready for us, with deals, drinks, food, and at a few places, gift cards! You certainly did feel like a VIP! 

Today I am highlighting a few of my favorite places and pieces! 

We started at Louis Vuitton where we sipped mimosas and laid eyes on some of the most carefully crafted pieces I've ever seen. From bags, to belts, to the sock shoe, to luggage Louis Vuitton never disappoints! 

Next up was Tommy John! This store was impressive for several reasons. It has some of the softest underwear and camisoles I have ever felt! They also offer two pieces that I found to be very nice. A stay stuck undershirt, a shirt designed to stay tucked in no matter how much you move, due in part to a elastic hem and buttons at the bottom of the shirt. Lord knows how helpful that would be for me! Can we get women's shirts like that too please!? And Go-Anywhere pants. They look like dress pants but feel like sweats! 

Bare Minerals showed us several great holiday gift ideas from mascaras, to eye shadows, to highlighters, and blushes... if I could take this store home with me I would! They generously gave us some free samples as well.

Trina Turk was possibly my hands down favorite place we stopped -maybe tied with Stuart Weitzman. I just love all of the beautiful designs they had there! I found tons of pieces I wanted just browsing around. They have been featured in a few fashion shows I've attended and I loved them then! 

Johnny Was!....

...was what! That is what the store creators want people to ask! Based on a Bob Marley song, "Johnny was a Good Man," the bohemian themed store offers so many incredible pieces. A few of my favorites; a suede bucket bag, several beautiful necklaces, and an embellished bomber jacket! 

Sur La Table was our next stop! They offered us some great hors d'Oeuvres and coffee while showing off some of their impressive gift ideas! From Miyabi knives, to quick and easy baking mixes, to The Smoking Box and Hand Held Smoker and even cooking classes! There are plenty of great gift ideas! 

While these were my main favorites, we also made it to Stuart Weitzman, Vera Bradley, Athleta, and The Frye Company. 

Overall it was a great experience! Suzanne was such a gracious host and definitely knew her stuff! I was certainly impressed with her and all of the stores we stopped at! I look forward to more events in the future! Suzanne, thank you so much! I hope to see you again soon! =) 

​Thank you so much for reading!  

Happy Friday! 

On rainy, cold days like today, I enjoy bringing in more color to contrast the gloomy mood. 

That is why I am restyling this lovely, printed skirt from the Who, What, Wear collection at Target. I have restyled it a few times before and it continues to be one of my favorite pieces. 

It is bold, fun, and feminine. It certainly brightens up my day! Since it is certainly much chillier than it has been lately -and about time!- I paired it with a faux leather jacket (a gift actually from my sister!), booties, and a layered necklace (both gifts from my Aunt!) 

I love finding ways to pair typically summer time pieces as fall/winter pieces. Anytime you can wear a piece all year round, that is a good investment! 

I'm pleased with how this look came out! 

I hope you like it as well! 

XOXO

Hello all! 

I realize I am posting this on Monday but I actually wore this yesterday. I got some pictures for my post yesterday, and I ran a few errands in this. I have actually worn this once before too. I wore it when I early voted last Friday. And boy it was THE perfect outfit for that. Last Friday was cold and rainy but this outfit was perfect for it! 

Not only is it warm and cozy, but it is very comfortable! It was perfect for an early Sunday morning too. 

What I love about it is that it is easy to pull off. The hoodie under a coat is so effortless. I just paired it with leggings and booties. And just like that you have a comfy, chic look! 

It is certainly a look that I will be rocking this fall/winter season! 

I hope you enjoy it too!

Don't forget to go vote tomorrow!

​XOXO

Happy Friday!!

And what a week it has been! I am exhausted! And very much looking forward to the weekend! 

I LOVE this look today. It embraces so much of what I love about fall/winter; coats, booties, sweaters, and even the beautiful fall colors. This coat I found from Shein.com (of course!) and I am in love! It has more of an coral/orange color to it than I expected it to, but that almost makes me love it more. 

It reminds me of back when I was taking college classes a few years ago and I would purposefully always take this particular route because there were so many big trees with long branches and they were turning colors about this time. And driving down that particular road felt like you were driving in a yellow/orange tunnel. It was so beautiful! I just love this time of year! 

The booties are another new addition to my closet. They are from Versona and in all honesty were kind of an impulse buy. I just saw them, loved them, and splurged! I think the plaid print gives them a more sophisticated look. I have a wide-leg jumpsuit that I can't wait to pair them with. 

I hope you enjoy this post! Thank you so much for reading!

Happy Monday!

And HAPPY HALLOWEEN! I know we are two days away, but the spirit of Halloween has hit me hardcore! From the movie marathons, to the spooky decorations and costume shops, to the haunted houses! There is something so amazing about Halloween! 

I'll keep this one short. I hope you enjoy this spooky post! 

Thanks for reading! 

Special thanks to my Mom and my Aunt who helped me out with finding this costume! Love you guys!!

Hello all! 

Whew! It has been a busy week this past week! It was great but it was very busy! My Aunt came to town and apparently never runs out of energy -which I LOVE about her! We all were able to hang out, shop, laugh, watch some scary movies, and have maaaannny late nights together and I loved it! 

But this Monday was a smack back into reality! It was a rough work day, and in all honesty I wasn't ready for this particular blog post. I usually like to prepare a blog post in advance but sometimes it doesn't work that way. 

This is a perfect example of experimenting with fashion. I have had this Shein sweater for a year now and I LOVE it! But it is an over-sized sweater so it can be overwhelming sometimes. I decided to try a belt with it -which I have done before here- but this particular time I opted for a smaller belt and a dark color theme. 

The result I personally LOVE! It really made my day. I love it when a look comes together! It took some time and some restyling  -several times!- but I really do love the outcome! Style is all about being creative after all! 

By the way, the sharp booties are from my Aunt! Thanks Aunt Sherry! It was awesome having you here! Come back soon!! 

Thanks so much for reading

Happy Monday my Friends! 

This outfit I wore to the second day of Fashion Week and while I am recreating it for this post, I love it just as much! 

This is such a beautiful look. It has structure as well as a flirty, feminine vibe as well!

This particular event was to celebrate the Jimmy Choo Made-to-Order services. That's right, you can now customize your very own Jimmy Choo shoes or bags! The event was held at Nordstroms in South Park Mall. It was a beautiful night complete with photographers, champagne, and a beautiful display showcasing some of the most beautiful Jimmy Choo shoes and bags I've seen! 

The only downside was I couldn't take them all home with me ;)

TGIF!! Finally!! 

It has been a long week! Exciting things happened, a hurricane came through, and work wore me out! I am thoroughly enjoying my day off! Not only that but I am also enjoying these cool temps! -FINALLY! 

To celebrate I styled this fall-like outfit. The deep orange color of the skirt really encompasses the fall season. Of course I couldn't wait to break out a sweater (I thought about boots too but it is still a little too warm.)

Of course a pop of blue to make the look really pop! 

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more fall looks!! =D

Happy Monday! 

One of the most classic pieces a lady can own is a little black dress! This is a relatively new piece to my closet but it is absolutely stunning! I found this gem at Grace Boutique and would you believe that I almost passed it up?!

On the hanger it did not necessarily catch my eye, but I decided to give it a try anyway. And I am SO glad I did! 

This dress is immaculate from top to bottom, especially when it is on. From the way it hugs my curves to the subtle rouging down the front the dress, creating texture. And of course the minimal yet incredibly effective mesh cut outs at the top and bottom of the dress. It is a knock out! 

I wore it to the kick off event for Charlotte Fashion week! It was a social event at The Vue (a condominium in uptown Charlotte). It was an incredible night, preceding an incredible week of fashion events and shows. This particular night was a great chance to meet different people from designers, to models, to photographers, to the producer of the show, Rita Miles, herself. I got to hang out with Designer Diva for the first time in a long time and meet a new friend and designer as well, Vinny! 

It was an incredible evening with some incredible evening! I cannot wait to show you more of my fashion week looks!

Thanks for reading!

XOXO
