Hello and Happy Valentine's Day!

That is the theme of this today's post -of course! 

The inspiration behind this look was my desire to pair the red tights with this snakeskin romper. I knew the print against the red would be dynamic! And it is!

​From there I just slowly built the look I wanted. 

I decided to stick to a red, white, and grey color themes to keep with the Valentine's Day theme. 

The surprise piece in this look is the belt! The romper comes with its' own tie belt. But it just did not really have that much of an impact with this look. So, on a whim, I switched out the tie belt for this rose embellished, statement belt instead and I was surprised with how much I loved it! 

I was pleasantly surprised how much it stood out against the print! 

What are you guys doing for Valentine's? 

I hope it is a great day for you! 

Thank you for reading, and I hope you have a great weekend ahead! 

Hello and Happy Monday! 

Today I have a fun look for you! I love this look because of all of the small details that come together to create the look. It is mainly gold and red accents all the way through the look. 

You may also notice that I am continuing to experiment with socks in the outfit! 

I don't think that this will be a trend that will completely take over in my styling, but it is fun to play around with! 

It started when I wanted to wear this 8-ball, cherry shirt with the overall dress. I liked the colors together and they are both cute/casual. 

When it came to the socks, my first thought was a blue/green pair with avocados on them. I thought the blue in the shirt and the socks would complement each other. As it turned out, it felt like too much. So, instead, I opted for this white pair with strawberries. I think the small pops of red work much better together! 

The gold accessories were other details that I really like about this look. I layered some charm necklaces, added a chain belt, and broke out some strappy gold heels! 

This overall dress has been a great find, especially now that we are slowly beginning to transition into spring! This is a perfect look for that! 

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

​See you on Wednesday! 

Hello all and Happy Friday! 

Today I have a fun and retro look for you! If you caught my vlog about building a look, this look won't be new to you. The inspiration for this look was wanting to pair the socks and heels together. Listen, I have been seeing girlies styling socks and shoes together and it looks really fun and imaginative! So, I wanted to take a shot at it myself. This is my first attempt! I wanted to keep it relatively simple. Just a solid color, no prints or fringe, or anything else. 

It was a little bit of a trial-and-error game until I got to this look! But it was worth it! I LOVE how this look came out! 

I kept the base color black/grey and allowed the pops of green as well as the small pops of color in the shirt and in the patches, to tie the look together. The iridescent gold stockings have been such a great find! (Actually, I am on the hunt for a new pair, because this pair has a run in it. I found out while shooting this look. But thankfully, you can't tell in the pictures.) They elevate this look in a big way! Not only do they dress the look up a bit, but they tie in so perfectly! 

And finally, the pearls! I have been really loving my pearl necklaces lately! I just went with my gut on them. Initially I had picked out a silver, cluster necklace and it was okay, but it did not really pop the way I had hoped. On a whim, I tried layering two of my long pearl necklaces and loved the element they added. 

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

See you on Monday and have a good and safe weekend ahead! 

Hello all! Happy Monday! 

I hope you all are doing well! 

Today I want to share with you a color combination that has me in a chokehold! This gorgeous fuchsia/raspberry color and lime green! This is one of those looks that kind of built upon itself. 

I'll explain. 

Every piece in this look -except for the bag and belt- are pieces I already own. I got the belt with this dress in mind. I knew I wanted to pair them together. I also knew from the get-go that I wanted to pair this jacket with it, since it is February and not exactly sleeveless dress weather. 

Then I had the idea to layer the lace turtleneck underneath. I was not sure exactly how it would go but as it turned out, I really liked it! 

The boots and the bag are both in the same color family with the fuchsia in the dress, so they just made sense. 

And the result is... a LOOK!

Not just an outfit, but a LOOK! 

And I won't lie, I had a bit of a skip in my step all day wearing this LOOK! ;D

So, quick story! While shooting this look, I shot it on two separate days. The first day I was at a different location, and I did not get much done that day. I had already shot a look, and my attention span was fading for that particular day. The spot I was at had a small set of stairs, which I liked the aesthetic of and was trying to get some good pictures with. Well, the coat has a belt that goes with it and while trying to get some pictures while holding the jacket -which I don't usually do, I was trying something different- the belt got tangled up in my feet and I landed on my butt! 

Thankfully it was a relatively graceful, anti-climactic fall. No one really noticed, I don't even think I bruised afterwards! But I was pretty much done shooting for that day. I tried again the next day and made sure to leave the belt at home! xD

Thank you for reading! I hope you have a great week ahead!
