Hello all and Happy Friday! 

I hope you are all doing well! 

Today's look is a walk on the wild side -quite literally! And it was created with the help of one of my blogging besties (and besties in general) Vikee, or Designerdiva! 

It started when I was filming for my vlog, 5 Ways to Style.... and the last look I was a little on the fence about. I was pretty sure I liked it, but I wanted to have a second set of eyes tell me either 'yasss queen!' or 'are you drinking again!? What is this!?' You know, just friends supporting friends! Vikee asked to see the skirt with the tiger blazer. When she asked, I was already showered and in bed, so that is why you see the other blazer in the video. 

But I did want to try the tiger blazer with the skirt, so the next morning I got up and tried it. I sent her the picture and she loved it! I loved it! And now here we are! 

The conception of the look began when I wanted to wear the red tights underneath the lace skirt, to get some color coming through. I definitely love how the skirt looks with the tights! It is a great look for the holidays -I wish I had thought of it then!

The blazer adds a bit of fun because it involves one of my favorite styling techniques, mixing prints! 

Mixing prints is a fun and relatively easy way to really breath life into your outfits. It can be a little daunting, so if you are new to styling or have not played around with mixing prints. It might feel like, "why would you mix those two together?" "Or those don't match!' Well, yeah, that's the point! But it does sometimes take some unlearning of what you had previously learned about styling. 

Its' complicated, I know! Stick with me though! I won't steer you in the wrong direction! 

Thank you for reading! And I hope you have a wonderful weekend! 

I will see you on Monday!

Hello all! 

I hope you had a wonderful weekend! And are ready for the week ahead! I think I am! 

I am actually really looking forward to this week! It should be a pretty easy week and on Friday I am going to the circus! Eeek! I am so excited for it! Don't worry, I will be sharing all about it on here! 

I actually went to the Cirque de Soliel last year about this time and it was really great! It was fascinating to watch the acrobatics in particular! This time it is The Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey, they also put on an incredible show -so I have heard! 

On to today's look! I am confusing my poor mom with this gigantic flower again! I am not sure if she is a fan of it or not but wait until she finds out that I want to cover the blazer with more flowers -all of differing sizes! xD (I am only sort of kidding about that!)

​I love it all of the same! It has brought so much life and joy to this blazer! It is the exact touch it needed in my opinion. 

I decided to lean into this icy/snowy weather by playing with icy themed colors; silver and blue! I guess they may not necessarily be icy colors, but that is what came to mind when I was prepping this post. 

These metallic shorts I found at GAP on sale, for $25! It was too good a deal to pass up, so I jumped on it! I love the feel and look of them, though I will say it does kind of feel weird to be posting shorts after just having a "snowstorm." It is such a chic look though!

​Structured, crisp, clean, and yet still a bit playful! 

I have a few predictions for styles in this new year, and one of them is I believe long shorts are here to stay for a bit! Which personally I am glad for. It gives you more options for styling and can create a range of different looks. Already I am planning for a more casual restyle of these jorts! 

Thank you for reading! I hope you enjoy this styling! 

Have a great week!

Hello! Happy Friday my friends! 

And brrrrr rabbit -as my grandma used to say! 

It is COLD out there! And it was COLD the day I took these pictures! It was kind of a good news/bad news situation. The bitter temps did make it easier to avoid people out and about while taking these pictures, but it was... well, cold! But I sucked it up and got it done! Thankfully the sun being out did make a world of difference! 

This has to be a favorite combo of mine! Denim on denim -but with a fun twist! Pearls! 

These cute, embellished jeans from LOFT were an easy yes in my book! I love the feminine energy that it brings to the look! It is soft yet the denim is strong! It also breaks up the monotony of the denim on denim look. 

Bonus points because the thickness of the denim shacket helped me stay warm! 

I of course added a bright bag -my beloved new Kate Spade bag!- to give it a more playful look! 

Please stay safe out there and warm. If you or someone you know is experiencing homelessness currently, A Roof Above (for men) and The Salvation Army (for women and families expanded their capacity for the inclement weather. Also, CATS buses are offering free rides through the weekend. You just need to tell them which shelter. 

I love you guys! Be safe! 

I will see you on Monday! 


Jeans: Loft (ON SALE!!)

Hello and Happy Monday good people! 

This is a look that I have been planning for a bit! It is one of those visions that came to mind, and I was able to pull off perfectly! -I love it when that happens! 

It is simple in style but packs a punch! A colorful punch mind you! =)

It is also a fun play with color blocking! 

Both the Kate Spade bag and the Ox Knit sweater are color blocked. The bag uses shades of blue and green, and the sweater is pink, and the sleeves are red, with the cuffs being beige. 

The whole look is playful, but the sweater is especially fun! The cute puppy graphic is adorable and has a retro feel to it. I found it on a site called OxKnit (I will link it below!) and they have a bunch of sweaters similar in style! In fact, there were a few that caught my eye, but I particularly liked the colors and picture used in this one. 

The bag was a splurge that I made on myself for Christmas. 

Listen guys, I don't typically spend a lot of money on purses or clothing, at least not on one particular piece. I am pretty frugal when it comes to spending. I look for sales, budget -that kind of thing. But I LOVED the look of this bag! The colors, the arch handle, the color blocking. I already had ideas for styling it. But the price is what held me back. 

I figured I would wait until after Christmas was over and I would come back to see how I felt about the bag. Thankfully I did, because it went on sale! I still sat on it, because it was still a lot more than I tend to spend on things. But a few days later I went ahead and did the deed! 

And I have no regrets! =D

Overall, I think this is a solid look! I have a few events coming up that I may be wearing this too! Granted I may switch my Addidas out for heels possibly. But for a day of errands, picture taking, and dinner with the family, I like this look a lot! 

I have several things coming up this month that I am excited to share with you! I also am considering changing things up a bit on here! I kind of mentioned how I like to shop earlier, I was thinking of sharing more of my shopping tricks and techniques with you. I want to write more about the events I attend. Nothing wild and crazy, I will still have my outfit of the day posts primarily. I just want to sprinkle a few other things in as well. 

What do you think? Is there anything you'd like to hear about in particular? I am open to ideas! 

Thank you so much for reading! And I wish you a wonderful start to the week! 



Sweater: OnKnit
Bag: Kate Spade (the color I have seems to be currently sold out, but this is the black version and there is also a darker blue version!)

Hello and Happy New Year! 

I always have a mix of emotions about the start of the new year. Mostly positive and optimistic but there is also a bit of sadness and apprehension. Not a lot but some. It usually takes a few days for me to get back to feeling normal. This year, thankfully, I had more optimism and less apprehension. I spent New Year's Day styling different looks, taking the pictures, and later on I went on a walk. 

To start off 2025 I wanted to go with a chic yet feisty look. So, I turned to an oversized, boyfriend style, blazer from one of my favorite sites, Dressed in Lala! I have mentioned this site before. It has a collection of fun, bright, and bold clothing and it definitely has a hold on me. It is a little on the pricier side, so I really look for sales or pieces that I cannot stop thinking about and then set some money aside for it. 

This blazer was one piece that went on sale, and I scooped it up! 

I do not have many -or any- tiger print pieces, so I am excited to add this to my closet. I am actually currently working on a styling video of five ways to style this blazer, so I know I will get a lot of use out of it. (If you are new here, that is one of my rules, if you cannot find three ways to wear something, return it!) 

That video should be up next Wednesday! So, be on the lookout for it! 

The lace skirt adds a nice luxurious touch to the look. I wore black tights with it, which I typically do not. I feel like it elevates the overall look as opposed to a bare leg, which is what I was going for with this look. 

I actually think it has kind of a fun, 80's kind of feel to it that I enjoy. 

**************

Going forward, I really want to start putting the groundwork into an actual styling business. I have worked as a stylist on several photoshoots, which I would like to continue doing. But I also want to help style women (and men, but I am not AS familiar with men's clothing) whether it be sprucing up your closets or helping you find a perfect fit for a special occasion! I also would like to work with boutiques, helping them with styling content and curation. 

These are a few of my aspirations for the new year! I would love to hear some of yours as well! 

I will keep you guys posted as far as my styling services go, once I have some more concrete plans. 

Thank you for reading and being on this journey with me!
