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?

Elegant Dinner

One of my favorite fashion style is to dress a nice pair of jeans up! It creates such a simple elegance that I adore. It gives the outfit a sense of sophistication without taking things to seriously. So a dark wash jeans with a lace top, gold accent jewelry, neutral shoes and makeup with wavy hair is my perfection!

Simple, Summer, Day Wedding

A summer, day wedding calls for a light hint of color. This gorgeous yellow, pink, and coral colored, one shoulder dress is the perfect mix of color and elegance. To avoid from stealing the attention of the dress, I paired it with neutral, strapped heels, studded earrings, and stacked bracelet. A simple updo also helps put this dress on display while adding to the beauty of the ensemble.

Summer Wedding

Summer is quickly approaching and that means wedding season is coming. A whole day spent celebrating means a simple and elegant attire is a must. I like surrounding a colored outfit will neutral accessories, letting the dress shine on its own. This blue dress would compliment any skin tone and show off your gorgeous shoulders! A simple updo will let this chunky necklace and simple dropped earrings shine. Simple, wedge, comfortable heels to finish the outfit.

Spring Colors

Spring is finally coming, which makes me think of colors, lots of color! This inspired my simple, colorful, chic outfit below. What are you dying to wear this spring?

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?

Spring Outfit

The last few days have made me missed the sun. To the point where I had to create an outfit, just to console myself! So here is my spring inspired ensemble filled with color, life, and fun.

The Start of Summer

I don't know why, but I love a good hoodie with a pair of jean shorts for cool summer nights. Sure, it's not summer quite yet but I'm just planning ahead. For these types of outfits I like to keep it simple. A casual leather watch, stud bow earring, a strappy leather sandal and I'm good to go!

Colorful Summer

Yellow makes me think of summer, sun, warmth, and just plan happiness! So for this outfit, I chose a zippered, yellow t-shirt and paired it with a denim jacket, white shorts, mint crossbody and t-strapped sandals and mint nail polish. Then some nautical themed necklace and earrings and a good old large fashion ring, sunglasses and simple top knot bun. Summer is here!

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-Walk in the Park

Who doesn't like a flowy summer maxi dress? Especially when it's leopard print and in this gorgeous mint and orange color!  Then a beaded chandelier earrings, stacked chain bracelets, opal fashion ring, and nude nails to keep the outfit simple. Leather t-strapped sandal and hobo bag along with straight layered hair to pull the outfit together. What do you think, perfect summer ensemble?

Fancy Lunch Date

I know it's still winter and way too cold for this outfit, but I'm planning for a gorgeous summer. This winter has been quite mild, but I am longing for some warmth and sun. When the sun does return, I could see myself in this sophisticated and cute outfit. I have always loved a nice blazer with shorts, but I decided to go little more formal with leather shorts, coral lace tank, and lace strapped heels. I am a big fan of monochromatic outfit with one colorful piece to bring the outfit to life. It also makes the outfit seem more put together. Then simple jewelry with stacked bracelets and hammer hoops and outfit is complete! This would great for a fancy lunch date or even a girls night out!

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!

Lunch Date Outfit

A reoccurring theme: blue jeans! The outfits in my last several posts have all included a good old pair of jeans. I promise, the next post I will change it up a bit. Anyways, I paired these jeans with a bow tank and trench coat. I LOVE trench coats by the way: simple yet classy! Then, pastel pink flats, leather clutch, diamond dropped earrings, and an antique gold brushed rope bracelet. To complete the outfit, neutral tone sunglasses. I envision myself wearing this for a lunch date, casual dinner or casual Fridays at work.  It’s a put together ensemble without sacrificing comfort. Hope this gives you guys some gorgeous outfit ideas!
