Modern Elegance

In LOVE with this entire outfit. From the oversized shades to the tribal print detail on the skirt to the colored accessories...absolute perfection. This is a perfect example of how to mix old with the new. A staple trench like this one is a must have in every girl's wardrobe. It can be paired with anything from bright hues (as seen here) to a simple jeans & tee look. The amount of bold colors contrasted with plain neutrals is what makes this outfit work. They balance each other out so well here which is key when adding color to your look. If you're hesitant to stray away from your neutrals, try opting for a bright nail or lip color or a vibrant tote instead of your usual black one. It's all about baby steps :)


Happy Weekend!

Trend Thursday

Fur Around The Neck.
This trend is perfect for wearing now as the weather doesn't seem to be warming up, and also into the Fall. The added fur dresses up the look & adds a sense of sophistication. It is important to keep your hair and makeup simple as the fur is really an eye-catcher and the main accessory of the outfit. A simple low ponytail and nude, natural makeup works great with this particular style. This look seems to be coming back in full force. It has been seen to be a trend back in the 1950's or so and I'm so glad fashion comes around again.

Happy Sunday!

Sooo happy it's the weekend and even happier when I came across this photo. Miroslava Duma is one of my ultimate fave style icons. She exudes confidence as she can literally wear any outfit and make it look super chic. This pic I'm especially happy to find because I just purchased a pair of J-Brand flares (on sale!) and was a little hesitant in doing so. I remember wearing them back in high-school and can't believe they're coming back. Ahh makes me feel kinda old... Anyways, seeing Duma wearing hers makes my fashion fears go away. Can't wait for a special occation to wear mine!

Trend Thursday

Layering It Up.

The first couple photos are from the Fall 2012 Derek Lam collection. I got my inspiration from that to trend today about layers. Since it still seems to be chilly outside, this layering look works well for now and can be carried into the Fall. Trends such as layering jewelry works well too and can be worn in every season.

Trend Thursday

So, I literally have 21 minutes left until this Trend Thursday is actually on a Thursday. Better late than never! As for the trend, what is not to love in this picture. I'm obsessed with this whole ensemble but if I had to choose one key element to make my trend, I would say those killer suede booties. They tie in with the outfit extremely well and are ultra chic. The man-like tassels add a sense of midieval/old-fashion couture while the hight of the heel and the gold buckles make them current & trendy. Enough said.
