Recycle Your Outfit Like This

Fast fashion is wonderful but sometimes it is wasteful. When your wardrobe is 95% trendy and 5% practical, you probably only wear a garment two or three times before you’re on to the next best thing. #Guilty. So rather than featuring new clothes today, I am encouraging you to recycle your outfit, like this! Allow me to explain. If this outfit looks familiar, you have a good eye. I wore a similar style (click here to see what I am talking about) during the winter with my So Kate pumps. Fast forward a few months and I’m refreshing the look with seersucker pants and rose stud sandals! As a fashion blogger by profession, I do not like getting “caught” in the same outfit twice. But if there is a look that I absolutely adore, I’ll recreate it with a “twist.” High waist pants are very flattering on a petite body type. When paired with a crop top, they actually have the ability to elongate the appearance of your frame. This blouse is not a true crop, but it has the same affect. If you recall, the last time that I wore these pants, I styled them […]

The Art of Dressing in a T-Shirt and Jeans

I don’t wear t-shirts often…so when I do, it’s gotta be a standout tee. That being said, there is an exact science to wearing a t-shirt fashionably and age appropriately. I’m petite and I look like a baby (so what I have been told). The last time I wore a t-shirt with jeans the Delta gate agent asked me if I was traveling with a chaperone. 30 going on 13 I guess! So here’s how to wear a tee fashionably well. The Knot Something as easy as a side knot can take your look from ok to great. Knots come and go but right now they are unusually hip. But more than that, they serve a very specific purpose. Knotting your t-shirt is a great way to show off your figure and reduce bulk. Consider a side, middle, or back knot the next time you suit up in a t-shirt. Step it Up If you are petite like me and you wear a t-shirt and sneakers, you will be mistaken for a teenager. Swap the sneaks for some heels and just like that you up your style game. And it doesn’t need to be a five […]

Fashion, Outfit of the Day

Dress like a Boss in a Pink Power Suit

Do you own a “power suit?” Technically that is not a real “thing” but what I am asking is if there is a specific ensemble that makes you feel totally fearless?! If you answered no to this question, we gotta do something about that! Today I am sharing with you my pink power suit that makes me feel like a total boss. Fashion is my passion for numerous reasons. But most of all I love that it can totally lift my mood. My day can go from blah to great thanks to a killer outfit. And I do not mean it in a materialistic way. Rather, a good looking ensemble gives me confidence and makes me feel pretty! Sometimes we all need a little somethin’ somethin’. Think about it…you don’t show up for a job interview or first date in just an ok outfit! Maybe your power suit consists of your favorite bum sculpting jeans and a blouse. Whatever it is, make sure it’s a good one and have it on hand at all times. Mine just happens to be a metallic pink power suit. Surprise, surprise! About the Fit I love all things jacquard. It […]

Baublebar Spring Sale – Spend More, Save More!

What is your signature style? Are you known for your red lips, fabulous handbags, or shoe collection? Remember, your sense of style is expressed by the items in which you adorn yourself with. I enhance my appearance with bold eye makeup and larger than life earrings. So that is what I would consider my signature. Luckily the days are few and far between that I forget to wear earrings, but I honestly feel naked without them! Well, if you too have a jewelry fetish, you should be happy to hear that the Baublebar Spring Sale is now through May 16th and the more you spend, the more you save! Need a last minute Mother’s Day gift? Listen up! Print out a picture of the goodies you order, slip them in her card, and let her know they are on the way! Consider classic items with a “twist.” Does that special mama in your life like cuff bracelets? The Navina or the Titan bracelet are two good options. But for the necklace lover, a monogram pendant is always safe. I love the blonde marble and tortoise shell finishes. Another great option is the bone links necklace or simple layering piece. […]

The Straw Bag – Your Vacation Must Have

What are your summer plans? Do you have any trips booked? Jonathan and I are going to Colombia next month. In case you are new to my blog, I was born in Bogota, but have not returned since. As you can probably imagine, this is a very special trip so I will be packing very special outfits. If there is one item you should tote on your next excursion it is a straw bag. When traveling by air, it is important to pack smart. You definitely do NOT have all the room in the world. Straw bags are great items to include because they are useful for more than one purpose. They make a great carry-on bag, a hella stylish beach bag, and a cute daytime purse. If fashionable and functional are important qualities to you, then here is what you should look for in a straw bag. A large interior space will get you from the plane to the beachside while an inside zip pocket will give you a safe place to store your most valuable belongings. Now that you know what to look for in a straw bag, let’s talk about where to shop for one. […]
