Minnie Mouse

8.08.2012

Steals & Deals: Forever 21 Polka Dot Dress, approx. $20-$30//Military Jacket {thrifted}, $7.00//Disney Minnie & Micky Heart Necklace, $25.00//Ebay Keyhole Sunglasses, $10.00//Belle Sigerson Morrison Nude Wedges//Beaded Bangle {flea market}

This outfit is 100% inspired by Blair from the blog, Atlantic-Pacific, {seen here}. She has incredible style and somewhat of a style-icon in the blog world {and my opinion, in general}. She has that Jackie O. or Grace Kelly look--classic, elegant, yet modern. But of course, most of her clothing is designer, which means high price point. Here is my version that is much more affordable {yay}.

Also, I just received these gorgeous shoes from Shop Bop today {on sale of course} and I love them. I have never bought anything on Shop Bop, but one of my favorite blogs, A's Fashion Files, had an amazing giveaway for $75 to Shop Bop and....I won!! So I purchased these gorgeous leather wedges, which are super classic and will last forever--the perfect addition to my wardrobe. Also, if you haven't checked out A's Fashion Files yet, you should because she has amazing designer inspired DIYs.

Last but not least, I have to admit that I am SO excited to be posting this look. It has been FOREVER since I have been able to give attention to my blog because school has been taking over my life. So I really hope you all like it, and that everyone is having a lovely week! xo

Aztec Print

7.11.2012

Steals & Deals: H&M Blouse, $9.95// Target Tribal Shorts, $17.99//Steven Madden Sandals, $37.00 {on sale}//Ebay Keyhole Sunglasses $10.00//Coach Crossbody {Mom's closet}//Marshall's Necklace, $6.00

I wore this ensemble today, which worked out well considering how incredibly warm it was. I love the Aztec print and vibrant colors from these shorts. Which are honestly one of my favorite pieces this summer--considering they are extremely comfortable and fun! Also, I must note that I repurposed this tee by simply removing the puff sleeves to make it more wearable and current. There are so many pieces that we own that can be altered just the slightest bit to become more desirable. I absolutely love doing this because it allows me bring new life to old, neglected pieces. {And it's a great way to save cash!} So before you go shopping or think you have nothing in your closet, think about what pieces can be changed to become useful!

Also, I am excited to introduce you to my new blog design {that I did myself}! I am so glad that I actually pulled it off and was able to figure out how to code and make my ideas become reality! {Considering I am not a web designer, I feel pretty accomplished!} I really hope you like it, because I sure do.

Hope everyone has been able to enjoy these long summer days and nights! xo

Chloe and Isabel Jewelry: Retro Glam Crystal Necklace

I wore this casual look downtown yesterday as I meandered and sipped ice coffee at my favorite spot. This outfit is pretty basic--just a white tee paired with patterned shorts. What really puts together this look and any look is through accessories. If I only wore this shirt with the shorts {removing all the accessories} it would look quite plain. With that said, don't leave the house without some form of accessories--it transforms a basic look to an amazing well put together one.

PS, isn't this historic downtown gorgeous!? I think so. And a shout out to my brother Andy for taking these amazing photos!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend! xo
