Happy Monday!

I had a great weekend! This weekend was the weekend of my first sip and shop which I hosted with my friend Designer Diva And it was such a great turn out! A huge thank you to everyone who came out! It was great to see and meet you! 

A huge thanks to Apricot Lane Boutique for allowing us to host this event!

Today's look is from Apricot Lane! I fell in love with this sweater last night at the event and today I still kept thinking of it. So I went back for it! And what a great purchase it was! 

This was the first idea I had for it and it worked out exactly as I had hoped! 

The colors in this sweater are so rich and beautiful, I think it will be a great piece to style! It is currently 70% off as well! So hurry in if you want to pick this up! 

Thank you for reading and thank you so much for coming out! I cannot wait for more events like this! HUGE thanks to Apricot Lane Boutique for allowing us to host this event and a HUGE Thanks to Danielle Agnew  of Mac Jars -which was a huge hit! Seriously the best mac and cheese I have had!  You ladies were such a joy to work with! I love you both so much!

Hello and Happy Friday! 

​What better way to ring in the weekend than leopard print!? That's right, today I am bringing my favorite sweater back for a restyle! 

A paired it today with one of my favorite skirts. I got this skirt from a blog post I did with NewChic.com a while back and I have loved it ever since. There is a hint of sexy with the rouging and the asymmetrical hem and the deep color green is gorgeous! It pairs well with many different colors. 

This look is very comfortable and easy to wear! 

Thanks for reading, I hope you have a great weekend and if you're in the area come see me and my friends, Designer Diva and Danielle Agnew at Apricot Lane Boutique on Sunday! There will be food, drinks, fashion, and lots of laughs! 

XOXO

Hello and Happy Monday! 

This Saturday I was honored to be invited to a Sip and Style fashion event hosted by The Face Magazine. Let's start with the location. It was held in a multi million dollar home -which was stunning! It was three stories, four bedrooms, and it had a movie theater on the third floor! I have been to many events similar to this, but this was such a unique and cozy location. It felt like you were at a dinner party. It made mingling more comfortable, you felt as though you were part of a family from the moment you walked in. 

We had plenty of time to chat and get to know one another. I met a lot of interesting people. Including the Editor-in-Chief, Heather Combs. She looked gorgeous in a white jumpsuit and was such a lovely host! We were treated to a cooking demonstration by Chef Chris Williams. We all looked on as he sliced peppers to perfection! The results? A mouthwatering  dish of sauteed chicken and peppers over rice. Delicious! 

The highlight of the night was the the fashion presentation by my friend and favorite designer, Tygerian Lace! She gave us a sneak peak of her spring line! If this was just the sneak peak, I cannot WAIT to see the whole line! Tygerian Burke, the designer behind Tygerian Lace, is such a creative lady! Her designs were outstanding! There was a maxi dress of black and white prints. There was an absolutely stunning maxi dress that was mostly sheer with floral details! How much more dramatic can you get? The whole presentation stuck with the theme of black, white, and red. Red, pants paired with a black and white blazer. Or A black and white printed pencil skirt paired with a sheer top adorned with the same flower details as the dress. Her creative mind blows me away! I am always excited to see what she has in store! 

It was such a great night! And I'm so happy I was able to be a part of it!  To The Face Magazine and Heather Combs, thank you for the invitation and opportunity to celebrate with you! To Tygerian Lace, congrats! I cannot wait to see what all you have in store and for being so kind and supportive! 

Thank you so much for reading! 

XOXO

With spring right around the corner I am breaking out some of my favorite dresses! 

This lovely LOFT, off-the-shoulder dress is one of my favorites! Its dreamy and has a romantic feel to it. 

While by the afternoons it is feeling great and perfect for a light, airy dress, the mornings are a little cooler. So to keep warm I paired with this gorgeous Shein peacoat! Personally, I feel like it compliments the dress perfectly. The drama between the bold orange/coral color of the coat against the black and white pattern of the dress, is stunning! 

I hope you have a great weekend! I will see you on Monday!

Hello all! 

Today's post is a fun one for me! I love pairing unique pieces together. Initially I didn't think either of these pieces belonged together. But then I paired them and I LOVED the way they looked when paired together! 

The colors worked beautifully together first of all. But also the unique shapes the two pieces create is really fun! It is certainly different but that is not bad necessarily. 

The dress is definitely of my favorite pieces. As is the sweater. The sweater I have had for a while and every time I start to give it up, I try it on and love it too much to let it go. 

I definitely need to incorporate it more in my wardrobe. And I think this is a great start! 

Check it out on the blog! 

Happy Friday to all! 

This has been an extremely long week it or it felt that way at least. I don't know about you. It was good, for the most part but very tiresome. 

So today, I'm sharing a fun outfit with you. My all time favorite print -leopard print! 

I'll be honest, I was feeling creatively drained and out of ideas. I had some ideas but they didn't work out well. I was just going through my closet and I came across this sweater. I LOVE this sweater. I found it at Forever 21, a few years ago. And it has stood the test of time.

I love it just as much now as I did when I got it. Maybe even more so! I have found it goes well with skirts, jeans, boyfriend jeans, leggings, and apparently this gorgeous olive green skinny jean.

That is what initially hooked me. I love the contrast of the sweater and the olive color. Then, as I started to mix and match I realized I really like the additional leopard print of the bag and shoes.

It adds some fun to the look and switches up the style of leopard print! 

I hope you like it as well!

Hello friends! Happy Monday! 

I hope you had a good weekend and a good start to the week! 

There is one trend that seems to be having a second (or 3rd) coming and I am very much in favor of it! Flared jeans! 

Skinny jeans will always be my first love. But there is something so chic and effortless about flared jeans. I have been searching high and low for a good pair, however, I have found them a little hard to come by. 

Which is exactly why I scooped these up when I saw them at Apricot Lane Boutique, during my try on session with Designer Diva. I could not resist! 

I feel like I look six feet tall! The vertical detail on the front certainly helps with the lengthening effect. 

Granted I did have to have these taken up a bit. :X Thanks to my friend at Vina Alterations, I not only got my jeans hemmed but they fixed my shoes as well! Actually this guy has helped me out several times and for very reasonable prices! He is now my go-to for any kind of alteration or shoe repair. 

How do you feel about flared jeans!? Feel free to let me know! 

Thank you for reading!

Hello and Happy Friday! 

I am READY for the weekend for sure! 

Today I am sharing a favorite new dress of mine! I got this from a cute boutique in Stonecrest, Apricot Lane Boutique. I love this store! It has so much to offer! 

Including this gorgeous number! This fitted, off-the-shoulder dress is just perfect! It is light weight but not not too heavy so you could wear it year round. 

The deep wine red color is such a gorgeous color, in my opinion. It is elegant, classy, and very versatile. When I tried it on at the store, I was wearing booties, which looked really good. It had a completely different feel compared to this dressed up look I am sharing with you today. 

I am also planning on styling it with knee high boots, and maybe even sneakers! Who knows? 

A simple necklace would add a beautiful touch or a some simple earrings. 

NOW! For the fun news! I'm happy to announce that on Feb 17 I and my good friend Designer Diva will be hosting a sip and shop event at Apricot Lane Boutique! I am so excited for this, and I hope you can make it out to see us and get some goodies! There will be drinks, food (catered by the amazing Danielle Agnew), beautiful clothing, and a lot of fun! Come check us out! 

I will share more with you as the date gets closer! 

Thank you for reading!

Hello my friends! 

Happy Monday! Today's post is fun for me! I was again experimenting with different pieces -I'm currently clearing out my closet and trying to weed out pieces I don't really wear. (Yeah, its going to be a long process at this rate! But worth it!) When I came across this button up top and blazer. 

The idea to pair the two came instantly. And I LOVE the look! With leggings or dark jeans it would look very dressy but I also really love the distressed denim look! 

My favorite part is the necklace layering! It is something I love to do every now and then but can be tricky. This particular look is only two different necklaces. One a long strand pearl necklace which I looped around my neck once. And the other is a much shorter necklace but with three separate strands of pearls.

I have done this before -actually with even more pearls!- and it really makes such a statement. 

Next post, I am excited to share some fun I had with my good friend DesignerDiva playing dress up at Apricot Lane, here in Charlotte! We had a great time and have some fun stuff coming up soon! 

Stay tuned friends! And stay warm!! 

XOXO

Hello and Happy Friday! 

Today I had to play around with this combination a bit. I had originally shot  different look with the boots and jeans -a combo that I really love! But I hated the way it came out in the pictures. 

I still wanted to do a look with the jeans and boots though, because I just really love the way they look together. The distressed denim against the deep red of the boots, is a great contrast! 

What I love about this pairing is that the velvet blue tank adds a little extra texture and the navy stripes in the sweater really tie it together for a crisp, clean, easy-to-wear look. 

I hope you have a great weekend! 

XOXO
