Beige Two-Piece Set

Have you ever put on an outfit and felt like a million bucks? This beige two-piece set is my equivalent and luckily it doesn’t cost a million bucks. It is my pleasure to introduce you to yet another under $100 fabulous find.     Finding Clothes that are Flattering for You After nearly a decade of professionally styling looks, I can easily decipher what will (and what will not!) flatter my body type. But if you’re still trying to figure that out, one of the first things to consider is your height. Are you petite, average height, or tall?! If the latter two best describe you, congratulations, you can “handle” more clothing! If you are petite like me, stay away from long swooping garments that can swallow you. This look has nothing in common with a potato sack, and the midi length only works because of the thigh high slit. Now what parts of your body are you most proud of? Maybe you have killer abs, or legs for days. In that case, show them off with a crop top and/or a mini skirt or dress. I have worked hard for my “bar arms,” so I put them on display […]

Let Your Outfit do the Talking in Wide Leg Pants

There is something so simply chic about wide leg pants. Maybe it’s because they are dramatic and speak for themselves! Regardless they are one of my favorite style of garments to wear and today I am excited to introduce you to this blue pair.     The only thing better than wide leg pants are lace-up wide leg pants! These party pants are a conversation starter! The fit is ultra flattering featuring a high-rise waist and fit and flare silhouette. If you are looking for a way to accentuate your cures, this is it! Aside from the good shape, the fabric is smooth and comfortable. Petite girls rejoice…the cropped hem actually fits me ankle length. Now styling them is simple. All you need is a reliable crop top. Think white, or beige.     What do you think, are these pants New York Fashion Week contenders?! I am already thinking of alternative ways to style them, and if you follow me on Instagram stories, then you know how I spiced them up for dinner last night.

Little Blue Suit and Rainbow Louboutins

Welcome home pretty rainbow pumps! It is no secret that I have a “thing” for fast fashion…or that I do not like to spend an arm and a leg on it. I go through outfits unconventionally fast. After a few wears I’m “over it” and onto the next thing. But when it comes to shoes and purses…I wear them until the wheels fall off! Mixing attainable and high end fashion pieces make an unexpected statement, and this blue suit and rainbow Louboutin pumps accomplish just that.     This blue suit fits like a dream and it is only $48. Shocking – I know! I love when suits are sold as sets because it is like getting three outfits for the price of one. Today I am wearing the top and bottoms together, but I am already planning to wear them as separates. The blazer features notched lapels and a button front closure, giving you endless style options. Go shirtless under this thing, if you please. The matching pants feature a mid-rise waist, but I must admit I prefer a high-rise waist. Considering the price point, it’s totally worth the inconvenience. The cropped length is great, but it hit me […]

Paperbag Jeans and Sequin Top

I have never been comfortable wearing a t-shirt and jeans. Technically my middle name is “Marina,” but I think it should really be, “Extra” (insert laughing emoji). If you recall, the last time I wore a t-shirt and jeans it was in addition to larger-than-life feather earrings and a matching purse. So, when I’m looking to piece together an ensemble with jeans, I also go classic with a twist!” These paperbag jeans are just that.     This trend in bottoms is comin’ in HOT. I love it because styling crop tops has never been easier. Thank you to the person who brought high waisted pants back in style. Anyway, this versatility makes it easy to dress paperbag jeans for daytime or evening wear. Last night I wore ’em with a rainbow sweater for a casual meeting. Add some sequins to the mix and just like that I am ready for date night, or maybe jut some cacio e pepe! Tune in to IG to see where I am headed in this exact outfit.     About the Fit Cropped jeans > full length jeans. Of course they hit me right at the ankle, but I am ok with that! […]
