Hello all! Happy Friday. 

Today's post is dedicated to one of my favorite people. She was an incredible piano player and played for us often at work. It was such a joy to hear her play. She played 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' a lot and because of her it became one of my favorite songs. I'm going to miss this little lady so much, but I'm so blessed to have known her and heard her play. She was AMAZING on the piano! She had moments of confusion at  times but she knew the piano like no other. She knew those keys and it always left me amazed. 

For today, I'd like to just leave it this way. 

I hope you enjoy this look. 


XOXO

Happy Monday! 

Just a quick post for today! 

I originally began this piece as three ways to wear a trench vest, however, I couldn't get the pictures I wanted for today's post. I took them but the lighting wasn't on my side at the time. So I may try again tomorrow. 

So instead, I am continuing with the theme of over a dress. This is one of my favorite combinations! This asymmetrical hem of the dress, plus the light grey color against the nude color and structure of the vest, is striking. I've paired it before with red knee-high boots and it is still one of my favorite looks. 

The statement necklace is another one of my favorite pieces. It is large and glamorous, and I have to be careful when I pair it but it packs a punch when I do! Like with this look! 

It has the shine and the undertones of gold tie the outfit together. 

Thanks for being patient! I hope to have a fresh new look for you on Friday! 

Also please come out to see Designer Diva and I at Michael Kors on Thursday from 6 to 8! There will be good food from the wonderful Danielle Agnew! Plus drinks and the launch of Michael Kors's spring line! I can't wait! =D

Hello and Happy Friday! 

This is one of my favorite pairings! It is just so lovely! From the color contrasts to the silhouette created, it is just wonderful! The two pieces really work well together to create such a classic look. The bundle-of-pearls necklace added a bit of texture! 

It is such an easy look to recreate! That is what I love about the trench vest. It has endless possibilities! 

Thank you for reading! Have a great weekend!

Hello and Happy Monday! 

Okay, so going to be doing a three-part restyling segment over the course of the next three posts. I wanted to shake things up a little, try something a little different But also I LOVE this trench vest! From the design to the nude color it is extremely easy to style. It goes perfectly over jeans -or any color- but I particularly love the way it pops against these olive colored jeans. 

It is a very versatile. Switch up any other piece in the ensemble and you have a very different look. 

Thank you for reading!

Hello and Happy Friday! 

Today, has been wet, cold, and all around dreary. Which actually I don't mind. But clearly this shoot happened on a different day. 

On my days off, I try to get pictures of a few different outfits so I have them readily available in case work runs late, or like today the sky falls out and I can't shoot. 

Well this particular week I got a little behind I had pictures for last Friday and this past Monday but neglected to come up with a good post for today. 

Ooops! 

Annnnnd... of course it was pouring down rain when I got home today which eliminated a number of ideas I had for today's post. I was about to suck it up and venture out into the rain, when I happened to remember pictures I had taken two weeks ago and not ended up using. 

This I present to you, today's look! 

i got the idea for this off an Instagram post. It was about different ways to wear a sweater, and one way was knotted up over a dress Which I attempted with several different sweaters and dresses until this look had me sold! The colors of the sweater and dress mesh well. The coral bag is my pop of color. And if I'm being honest, I'll probably never get the sweater tied so perfectly again. :D 

But it worked out! And saved the day today! 

I hope you like it too! 

Thanks for reading!

Hello all!  And Happy Monday! 

I hope this week has started out well for you!

For me it was a rough start, I won't get into too much detail but I felt a little down. Today I am feeling a little better and I am excited to share this post with you! 

One of the reasons I love this look is because to the stark contrast. The bold green and white stripes against the pale blue is so beautiful. 

Not only do the colors compliment each other nicely, but I feel like they add so much character to the look! It is very unique and charming. The bold stripes, against the soft pleated skirt, horizontal vs vertical! It all works very well together, in my humble opinion. But really it is the colors, that anchor it. They are neutral enough to mesh well together.

I hope you like this look! Also, if you are in the Charlotte area, I'm hosting another sip and shop with my friend Designer Diva. This time at Michael Kors! They are launching their spring line, and I will be there to share my styling tips and picks for the season! The date is March 21, from 6 to 8PM at Southpark Mall! I would love to see you all there!! 

Thank you for reading!

Happy Friday my friends! 

Okay, so  unpopular opinion but I HATE this song. I hate it because it gets stuck in my head and I. Can. Not. Get. It. Out. Does anyone else feel me on that?

*Crickets*

Okay... I'll see myself out then....

In all seriousness, I can appreciate the song. The video is nostalgic of my teen years, and Ariana Grande is obviously extremely talented. And while she wasn't what I was thinking when I styled this look. It certainly has some Grande vibes. It is her signature look it seems! 

The thought in my head was that 'Hey! Those colors are similar! Let me try pairing them together!' I really loved the way it looked when paired together. This turned out to be another fun way to style this sweatshirt dress! I LOVE how comfy it is!  When I bought it initially I could not picture it with anything but sneakers. But this pairing was a fun surprise. I really loved the way it looked. 

Plus it kept me warm and comfy on this cool Friday! 

I added the circular bag as additional touch. With a monochromatic look like this, I wanted to add something that would really pop. This bag, did just that. The gold color meshed well with the maroon of the outfit, while not taking away terribly. And It added a little extra character to the look.

Hello all! 

Happy Monday! For today's post I am sharing a simple way to breath new life into old pieces. I have worn similar versions of this look before. I love, LOVE this skirt and especially layering it over a closer fitting dress like this Forever 21 striped dress. My initial thought was to pair a black belt with it, which I tried and liked. But my eye fell onto this unique red belt and I had a great idea to try it out too.

I am so glad that I did! It gives the look a whole different feel. Fun and quirky And it is a great way to create new looks with old pieces. For a little additional character, I paired my circular Target bag with it. 

We are finally getting to enjoy some sunshine and nicer weather here in the QC which is great! It made shooting this blog post much more enjoyable! ;) 

Thank you so much for reading and have a great week!

Happy Friday to all! 

Since its Friday and the end of a long week, I decided to just go a bit more casual today. Hence the sneakers. ;) While I do love my heels, I enjoy pulling these bad boys every so often. 

It really changes the look of an outfit drastically. This look, paired with black boots or nude heels -heck maybe even a pair of cobalt blue heels would look much dressier.. It would be great for a night out or a date night. Any kind of special event. But with the sneakers it looks just as good but much more casual. You can run errands, grab lunch, or coffee. And then of course it easily transitions into a great night out look.

This extreme bell sleeve top is one I have one I have styled before, here. I really like this shirt! The color is neutral enough it can be paired with many different colors. The style is simple enough that it can speak for itself. The bell sleeves are stunning! And It even as a little bit of a peplum top effect. 

I'll admit when I first got it -I found it on Shein.com- I was a little hesitant about it. It was shorter than I typically like shirts to be, and the peplum effect makes it a little difficult to tuck in. So I consulted with my fashion savy mother and she felt like it was a great piece. So I kept it. And I have to say I am so glad I did! The more I keep playing with it and finding other ways to style it, the more I really like it! 

This is such an easy and comfortable look to pull off! 

Thank you for reading! 

Have a great weekend!
