A Partridge & A Pear Tree

One way to shine bright this season is by way of funky prints! Why not try a pair of corduroys with a print relating to this holiday season, such as a partridge and a pear tree?! The moment I saw these cords, it was love at first sight! I absolutely love prints, the more unique the better! Makes for a great conversation starter and the colors allow for plenty of options for blouse choices!

Wearing prints can be done for this season, just make sure that you're sticking to seasonal colors such as jewel tones, neutrals, and subdued colors. Don't be afraid to wear something other than florals on your pants. Be daring and try something new.

I'm a big fan of the monochromatic look, so naturally experimenting with denim in the same way was just the next step! This is my way of creating my illusion of a denim jumper, this so reminds me of a photo i've seen of my mother, circa the 70's! Dark rinsed bell bottoms and dark denim western shirt equal the perfect leisure suit. Walking on rocks in wedges equals not so comfortable!

White Out.

This was my outfit for the Most Fashionable Women event. I chose to wear something simple yet fashion forward. I didn't want to wear anything too extravagant, especially since I was going to be taking photos and schmoozing! Since I was wearing white, I was extra careful not to get anything on it!

Red Zinger!

As you all may know, I'm a huge fan of trousers, all shapes and colors. This particular pair, from J.Crew is probably my favorite one, the vibrant color is a fun choice to pair with the more neutral Fall colors. I mean just imagine pairing it with a big oversized, knitted, beige sweater or a sleek brown leather jacket, with a black, faux fur vest on top? Comfort and versatility equal an A+ in my book! All of these photos were taken by my amiga, Chaucee!

Fashion Show Recap

This past Saturday, 7.21.12, I was styling and helping out for yet another fashion show with Caramente Clothing. It was filled with joy, anticipation, excitement and tears. Yes, tears! Well that's mostly because of me, someone (rat- bastard!) had swiped my beloved phone. My phone and I were BFFs, yes it's that serious, i'm sure all of you iPhone owners understand what I mean by that! Anyways, before I get too deep into that, i'll continue with the show. The venue was bigger, there were more models, designers, and clothes. It was a beautiful mayhem backstage.

Here's what I wore on Saturday! 

Dress: Sugarlips Apparel, Blouse: Forever21, Belt: J.Crew, Wedges: Steve Madden via Shoemint, Headband: UrbanOutfitters

I love the simplicity of a black and white outfit! There's so many colors and prints to layer with it to take it from A to Z in seconds! I love layer dresses, and the weather this past Saturday was perfect for it! I'm a big fan of re wearing my dresses, it's the way you style it that can make it look like a completely different dress. I love me some leopard print, and I wanted to wear some comfortable wedges that would get me through the day.  There you have it, that was my Saturday, how was yours?

Experimental Fashion.

Dress: Forever21, Skirt: Nastygal.com, Wedges: Steve Madden via Shoemint, Jewelry: Forever21, thrifted

I'm really starting to love pairing brights with neutrals! It gives your eyes a different focus. You see the "top" i'm wearing? It's actually a maxi dress that I tucked into the skirt. It started with me wanting to wear this dress, but I really wanted some more color into the outfit, and not by adding a belt or scarf. Experimenting is key to a fun wardrobe!

The illustration conveys, my night that day. I was at the launch party, #Wearthebeach, for Duke and Winston's latest summer collection. You should definitely check it out on their website. The party was hosted at the North Shore Beach Club, it was my first time there and it definitely won't be my last! That place was gorgeous, it reminded me of a night club in Ibiza, Spain, which says a lot! A pool party combined with a club atmosphere. It was just fun all around, afterwards went out to this cafe/ restaurant with some friends and chatted about the event. Ps, wedges are a girls best friend!

Casual Denim

Jacket: Levi's, Top: J.crew, Jeans: Pacsun, Wedges: Forever21, Jewelry: Thrifted

Yes, I do own jeans! People are always surprised when I wear jeans. A great pair of jeans are a major must have, especially for your off days! A laid back look for a chill summer day. 

The floral pattern on the shoes add the perfect touch of femininity, to this otherwise tomboyish look. I pretty much always cuff my jeans and pants. When you're as short as I am, you have to find a way to abide by all of the fashion standards!

Empty Night Skies.

Dress: Forever21, Vest: DIY, Belt and Bag: H&M, Booties, Steve Madden via Shoemint, Jewelry and Sunnies: Forever21 

There was an art show opening reception at a local cafe, where my lovely boyfriend was featured! It was the perfect opportunity to dress contemporary, trendy. Art events usually call for an eclectic crowd of people, so it's nice to show your personality through what you wear. I chose to wear this printed sheath dress, it's so fun and it called my inner bohemian! I paired it with this olive vest for more comfort, it was sure to be a chilly evening. The accessories help edge out the outfit!

I just had to throw a picture of my boyfriend. Styled by me!

Polka Dots and Citron.

Jacket: Forever21, Scarf: J. Crew, Sweater: Urban Outfitters, Skirt and Sunnies: Forever21, Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell, Rings: H&M, gifted

Polka dots on a trench, absolutely adorable! It's totally my style, and this new "citron" color!
