Casual Winter

The temperature has definitely fallen, we even saw our first dusting of snow! My favorite thing about the cold weather is putting on a comfy over-sized sweater, stretchy leggings, some simple jewelry accent pieces, and throwing my hair back in a ponytail. Finish the look with a smoky natural makeup and it's time to cuddle up on the couch!

What are some of your favorite cold weather looks?

Casual Brunch Outfit

So this weekend, mother nature made it clear that fall is upon us. We were having such a beautiful fall that she tricked me into believing it would never end. The chill in the air inspired this outfit. A cozy sweater, comfortable jeans, and pair of calf-hugging boots with a touch of color from the nails and necklace.

Fall Comfort

Yes, it's fall and the temperatures are starting to drop. It's also the start of the busiest shopping time of the year. Here is my take on a fall outfit that I could shop for hours in with ease and comfort! Natural makeup, a messy updo, skinny jeans, low ankle boots, a warm cardigan and some spiked accessories.

Fall Elegance

Fall is no doubt my favorite season of the year and with the cold crisp feeling in the air and the vibrant colors of the leaves, they make me long for a sense of warm and cozy elegance. One thing I love about fall is breaking out the warm wool coats! They are so versatile and can be both dressed up and down. Here I decided to dress it up in a neutral, sparkly manner. Neutral colors can be quite glamorous as you can see with the sequin details on this dress and shoes or the eye catching earrings. These are my favorite outfits: simple, elegant, classic!

Natural Glam

Sure color can be attention grabbing, but I don't think anything can beauty natural beauty! This outfit is simple yet beautiful with neutral colors, makeup, a messy updo and casual statement jewelry. Great for an elegant dinner, summer wedding, or meeting up with the girls for a night out.

What do you prefer, color or neutrals?

Elegance

Spring is fast approaching and with wedding season is right around the corner, I imagine myself in this lovely outfit. A sleeveless dress with a sweetheart neckline in a blush pink, cream heels, a nude, ruffled clutch, pearl drop earrings, opal ring and a low side bun. Lovely and gorgeous, what more could I ask for?

Summer Fun Outfit

On this lazy Sunday, Chris and I caught an early movie and ran some errands. As we strolled outside, I couldn't help but turn my face towards that gorgeous, warm sun! My head then started churning about all the summer outfits I'm ready to pull out of my closet. When I think of summer, I think of flowy dresses, strappy sandals, messy ponytails, petite crossbody bags and simple accessories. Hence, this outfit was born. A floral dress with flutter sleeves and accents of a red like this purse, sandals and lipstick. Then fun jewelry such as this kissing necklace and multi-bangles. This outfits screams summer doesn't it?

Pretty in Pink

Do you just love this dress? Of course you do, it's absolutely gorgeous! So my birthday is fast approaching and I'm gearing myself up for some fun. Dinner by candlelight, a walk underneath the night stars and sky, hand in hand with my handsome husband.....this outfit is perfect for such an occasion. This pink, sleeveless dress brings elegance and grace with the draped fabric and and cut-out neckline in the back. I kept everything else pretty subdue with gold eyelet bracelets, pink diamonds dropped earrings, cream clutch, a hint of pink lips and nails. Then a strappy sky-high heels in a dark leather to offset the dress and  simple braided updo to show off that beautiful cut-out neckline! There is no other option, but to feel beautiful in this outfit!

Blue Outfit

The weekends have been cool, but gorgeous lately so I am hoping it will be for my birthday in a few days. One of my favorite places to go is the zoo. So if weather permits, to the zoo we will go. Since it's still the middle of winter, I figured blue jeans and a long sleeve tunic would suffice. The belted tunic, wedge TOMs, and simple jewelry gives the outfit a hint of sophistication. A caramel crossbody bag to carry all my stuff without weighing me down and a side-fishtail braid to round out the outfit. I don't like to match too much, but I like hints here or there like the blue stripe tunic, fashion ring, and nail polish. It helps with tying it all together. Then of course, tortoise-shelled sunglasses in hopes that the sun will peek out!

Dinner Date

It's a simple fact, everyone looks gorgeous in cobalt blue! It truly compliments any skin tone, body type, hair or eye color. So for this birthday outfit, I paired a cobalt blue, sleeveless, draped dress with nude spiky pumps and clutch along with black studs and pendant. I decided to match the nails with the dress and simple bronze eye makeup and curly flowy hair. This would be great for a night time birthday party or intimate dinner with the husband. What do you think of this outfit?

Black Lace

Lace adds such a sense of elegance to an outfit, especially when it's used as simple focal points like with this gorgeous black dress. The sleek knee length and mini one-sided slit gives it a feel of sophistication, but the deep revealing lace neckline paired with these lace heels give the outfit a hint of sexiness. I love these hematite drop earrings surrounded with grey diamonds and this slim clutch. Then black sparkly nail polish and a wavy updo and this is a gorgeous, birthday dinner outfit!

Casual Birthday Outfit

February is my birthday month! Yes, you read that right. The WHOLE month is my birthday, just ask my husband. So my outfit themes this month will be based around different birthday outfits. This first one includes a beige shirt inspired dress that is casual but a little more fancy with the crossover drape, ruche shoulder sleeves and collar. I paired this outfit with a dark knee high boots and handbag. Keeping the accessories simple I love this multi-cut thick cuff, spiky gold necklace and bronze nail polish. To add a little color these green tourmaline double drop earrings were perfect. Then a slight wave to a short bob to complete the outfit! Casual, comfy birthday ensemble!

Ready for Spring Outfit

Alright, I must admit that I am ready for spring! When I think of spring, I think of bright, fun colors and easy, breezy outfits. I reach for clothes that are comfortable to lounge around with a sophisticated twist. So my colorful, eye catching piece are these hot pink pants. They just scream spring! To compliment the bright pants, I surrounded them with neutral items to keep the outfit from being too overwhelming. A drapey, cream dress shirt paired with casual jewelry like these gold hoop earrings, crystal studded bangles, and heart pendant chain necklace keeps the outfit simple. Then I added nude flats, a camel stained cross body bag, and relaxed wavy curls to complete the look. Spring, here I come!

Cozy Winter Outfit

Lately, it has been sunny with a crispness to the air. This is my absolute favorite weather. So how do I dress for these gorgeous days? Well, blue jeans and a t-shirt is perfect for any day. I love wearing a light shirt under a warm wool coat. It's enough to keep me warm while I am outside, but avoid overheating when I'm inside.  I actually have these GAP curvy jeans and they are very comfortable. They are boot cut, made with stretch denim, low-rise, and curvy through the hips and thighs. I also have the TOMS Dessert Wedges in both taupe and chestnut. I can walk for hours in them! They are also extremely versatile and can easily be dressed up or down. A universally flattering color is cobalt blue and this wrap coat is adorable! Paired with some spiked earrings, neutral color cross-body bag, and simple wavy hair....this is a comfortable outfit I could wear all day!

Enjoy!
