Printed Shift Dress

Kelsey K. — Tue, 25 Aug 2015 14:00:40 +0000

Every fashionista could use a shift dress in her life, and with the fall season quickly approaching, there is no better garment out there to stock up on. Pair a shift with your favorite sleeveless outerwear and a pair of fringe booties, or dress it up with pumps for a night on the town.

Leave it to Target to carry an adorable printed shift dress for less than $30! Brought to you by xhilaration, this sleeveless number features a multicolored geometric pattern, against a black background. A flattering cut for daytime or evening wear, and the keyhole back offers a sweet feminine touch. On this trendy Tuesday, I styled this piece for happy hour. Pulling one prominent color, yellow, from the busy pattern, I made it pop even more by accessorizing with similar hues. Finally, for a nice contrast, I polished off the look with my favorite orange clutch by Urban Expressions. Will you be shifting up your fall attire with this hot commodity?!

A note about the shoes…yellow pumps are more versatile than you’d ever imagine. Better yet, this exact style is currently on sale for $39! Get ’em while you can, from DSW Designer Shoe Warehouse. You won’t regret it!

The 1969 Girlfriend Jean

Kelsey K. — Mon, 10 Aug 2015 14:00:38 +0000

If you were preoccupied livin’ it up at Outside Lands this weekend, and couldn’t stop by your neighborhood Gap for the Friends and Family event, boy do I have some great news for you! This iconic sale has been extended up until midnight (ET) tonight online and in stores. I often drop in Gap to stock up on basics and this time I hit the jackpot with the new 1969 Girlfriend Jean. Regularly priced at $79.99, I got ’em for $52 with tax.

While boyfriend jeans continue to flood the apparel market, girlfriend jeans are slowly but surely gaining territory. Slimmer fit than your boyfriends, yet looser than a typical “skinny jean,” these bottoms offer the same relaxed feel with a more feminine silhouette than their counterparts. I am happy to report that Gap has this trend figured out – the 1969 Girlfriend Jeans are the proof. Available in different shades of indigo, black and white, as well as surplus green (pictured above), you cannot go wrong with a versatile pair of pants like these. On that fall weather kick, I styled mine with an ivory sleeveless turtleneck a longline sweater vest, and beige pumps. To spice up the neutral theme going on, I rocked a bright red lip, a houndstooth wristlet and black and white printed sunnies.

It’s amazing how accessorizing your ensemble can transform your look from boring to bold in a matter of seconds!

Happy Fry Day!

Kelsey K. — Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:00:17 +0000

There are few things in life that I love just as much as fashion. One of which is a crispy and salty delight! If you haven’t already guessed from the title of this post, it’s good ol’ french fries. I could eat them with every meal. When I found this Fry Day graphic tee on shein.com, it had KK and GG all over it!

You’ve already heard my schpiel about food items and how they’re trending in the industry, but seriously, how GREAT is this t-shirt?! The perfect addition to your dress down “Fry Day” ensemble. I love how it can go casual with shorts or fancy with long black jeans. Going for an edgy look, I paired it with distressed denim, yellow patent leather pumps, and a rhinestone necklace. Next time, I may swap out the pants for vegan leather shorts, and polish things off with a cape.

After a week of showcasing apparel from SheIn, the verdict is in: SheIn is officially KK and GG approved!

Bananas over Bananas

Kelsey K. — Mon, 20 Jul 2015 14:00:40 +0000

Have you ever heard of the online retailer SheIn (formerly known as SheInside)?! Don’t feel bad if your answer is no…I hadn’t either until a couple of weeks ago when a sponsored post showed up across my Facebook newsfeed. Anyway, SheIn is an online retailer specializing in women’s contemporary clothing. Most items ship directly from China, and as a result, the prices are incredibly low. Maybe I spent $60 on four items total?! It doesn’t get any better than that. As food items continue to dominate the fashion space in many shapes and forms, when I came across the Banana Embroidered Flange Denim Shorts, there was no way I was passing ’em up! Rather than sitting back and watching a new trend blowup, take part in it, fashionista!

On a kick for mixed prints, I thought it would be fun to pair these shorts with something other than a solid tee. That’s where this off-the-shoulder polka dot blouse came into play! Flirty and fun, the perfect addition to an ensemble already full of flavor. I wore the top tucked in to show off the cut of the shorts and threw on some yellow kicks and a matching necklace. I’m officially bananas over this look! Are YouIn?!

If you care to shop this post, simply click the links below. If you order the banana shorts, do yourself a favor and purchase a size up. These short shorts run small and I mean really small. The top on the other hand, is true-to-size. Luckily, SheIn provides you with garment measurements – be careful not to overlook these fine details.

Stay Cool in this Little Gray Dress

Kelsey K. — Tue, 30 Jun 2015 14:00:00 +0000

When you’re trying to beat the heat during the summer months, there is nothing cooler than a breezy little dress. While temperatures in San Francisco proper may not climb to the high 80’s, the second you cross the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County, or the Bay Bridge to the East Bay, the temperature rises significantly. Over the long weekend in Lake Tahoe, I plan to stay cool in this little gray dress.

This look is GG approved

The Sensational Anthem Off-the-Shoulder Heather Grey Dress is perfect for your weekend barbecue or a night of dancing with your beau. Featuring off-the-shoulder sleeves and a plunging neckline, feel sassy and cool in this flirty dress. The full skirt balances out the racy top half and the heather gray can either go dressy or casual. Since dressy is always better in the KK and GG handbook, I paired this hot number with a pair of yellow patent leather pumps, and a black and white beaded headband. I further accessorized with my favorite pearl bracelet with matching ring and my go-to black and white plaid clutch. If you’re wondering how to dress down this look for July 4th festivities, swap out the pumps for a pair of red leather flip flops and exchange the beaded headband for this red white and blue headband instead.

Cherry On Top Dress

Kelsey K. — Thu, 11 Jun 2015 14:00:42 +0000

Summer is the season for fun. This goes for all aspects of life. Food, vacations, concerts, and most of all apparel. I am happy to report that The Red Dress Boutique‘s online store is home to many summer wardrobe must-haves. From dresses, to tops and bottoms, to jewelry and shoes, if you’re on the lookout for some sizzlin’ summer styles, chances are you’ll find them here. Better yet, you won’t break the bank while doing it. Excluding the designer jeans, maybe the most expensive item for sale is $60?! Do yourself a favor and go check things out for yourself. You can thank me later!

Food items are still trending in the fashion world. Everyday as I scroll through my Instagram feed I notice more and more pineapples, watermelons, and donuts! But not on a plate ready to eat, instead in the form of t-shirts, purses, and even home decor. Originally I thought this trend was just a fad but it does not appear to be loosing its hype. So when I came across the “Cherry On Top” dress, I decided it was time to join in on the food clothing fun. A similar silhouette to my fav midi dress, this dress features a square neckline, and fitted bodice that flows into a full gathered above-the-knee skirt. Did I mention pockets?! Available in Blueberry (pictured below) or Lemon, have your ice cream and eat too when you rock this little thing! I styled this dress with yellow accents. When you’re attempting to accessorize with a bold print, it’s always safe to pick out one of the many colors and just stick to that. Now go find the neighborhood ice cream truck, will ya?

The strawberry ice cream cone with sprinkles on top did not go to waste during this shoot. Thank you to Michaelis Wine & Spirit for the delicious prop!

Crop Tops and Skirts

Kelsey K. — Thu, 09 Apr 2015 14:00:55 +0000

If you’re on the fence about adding a crop top to your wardrobe, try one out with high-waisted bottoms for your first wear. Just because it’s cropped, doesn’t mean you have to show midriff! When I came across this padded mermaid skirt I knew it was time to break one out. Great for an evening gala or date night with your significant other, replicate this outfit with a flirty a-line midi skirt from the one and only lulu*s.

When I laid eyes on this structured skirt at Marmalade Boutique, I had to have it…I’m not good at resisting unique statement pieces! I loved the fit and flare silhouette and the exposed zipper down the back. Hitting right above the belly button, I decided to pair this skirt with a solid crop top. I went with a plunging neckline to break things up a bit, but a boat neck or off-the-shoulder neckline would work as well. For the shoes, I went with a pair of white laser cut high-heel sandals, though a pair of black pumps or ankle strap sandals would of been adequate. I didn’t want to overdo it with accessories, so I simply wore a pair of silver glitzy earrings, and a rhinestone necklace and ring. To add a little edge, I carried my ombré faux crystal BCBG clutch – the perfect accessory for black and white or black and gray outfits.
