Seersucker Pink Pants Fit for Barbie

Kelsey K. — Fri, 06 Apr 2018 14:00:02 +0000

If there was a Colombian Barbie, this would be her play house! No really though, I’ve said it once and I’m saying it again, the architecture in San Francisco is like no other. Picture this: perfectly manicured doll houses all lined up on display. I still get a kick out of sightseeing the homes in my very own neighborhood. It never gets old. Now what would Colombian Barbie wear inside of her play house? Simply put, all the glitz and glam…these pink seersucker pants, perhaps!

Pink Seersucker Pants

Seersucker holds a special place in my heart. I lived in Louisiana for five years – everyone down there owns a seersucker garment! These pink pants are a glamorous take on the traditional blue and white stripe print. Featuring a high waist and side zipper, these stunners make a statement without even trying. But aside from the aesthetic appeal, the fit is exceptional. I am wearing a size 2 and and no trip to the tailor is required. Hallelujah! Style tip: consider pairing 50 shades of pink with your seersucker pants. That’s what Barbie would do…just sayin’!

Designer Dupes

I’m a self-proclaimed Gucci girl. I do not own a Chanel handbag, nor have I been able to find a descent designer dupe. This quilted purse shimmers in all of the right places and adds instant flair to your classic ensemble. Thanks to the adjustable strap, you can wear it on your shoulder or across your body. Better yet, it is large enough to fit an iPhone (the plus included), a full size wallet, and whatever cosmetics you cannot live without. For only $36, you will get stopped in your tracks while toting this cute little thing. You know you want it. Bonus: It’s also available in silver and black. Take your pick.

Cropped Denim: The New “It” Thing

Kelsey K. — Tue, 17 Jan 2017 14:00:26 +0000

Whether you like it or not, cropped denim is the new “it” thing. It is amazing how much a fashion staple like blue jeans evolve over time. Sometimes for better and sometimes for worse. So how do you wear this style? Allow me to explain.

Start with Black

When styled correctly, cropped denim can be very flattering. But, if you are on the fence about this new trend, start with basic black! Black jeans are slimming, flattering, and easy to style. I opted for a fringe hem pair.

Wear Booties

Take advantage of the opportunity to show off your new booties…without cuffing your jeans! Honestly, that is what I am the most excited about. I do not remember the last time I bought a pair of pants without having to hem them. I bought this embroidered bootie from Sole Society and receive endless compliments every time I wear it. It would be a shame to hide shoes like this underneath full length flare leg pants!

Shake things up

When you are experimenting with a new style, don’t be afraid to shake things up a bit. I accomplished this with accessories and a plaid jacket. Statement belts are also trending. You have probably already noticed your favorite fashionistas buckling up in chunky belts. Hop on the bandwagon! Finally, Consider topping your ensemble with a contrasting jacket or coat. Mixing prints is a great way to jazz things up and a black and white pattern is a safe choice.

Cozy Chic in a Winter White Cape

Kelsey K. — Fri, 23 Dec 2016 14:00:07 +0000

Back to life, back to reality…! Ok, now that we have our tea party and flapper outfits in order, let’s get back on track with practical looks for wear to and fro. In today’s rendition of cozy chic, I am showcasing a winter white cape!

Capes are suitable for wear all year long. Whether you are looking for an elegant overcoat, a show stopping dress, or a cardigan to wrap up in, you can probably find a cape to meet your needs. This winter white cape sweater is equivalent to a fashionable snuggie!

There is no need to sacrifice style during the raw months of winter. This hot item from Chicwish will help get you through. Throw it on over a fitted dress, or snuggle up with a pair of jeans. Eager to wear my embroidered boots again, I dressed it with distressed denim for an edgy look. I am already impressed with its versatility! I polished off the ensemble with a black floppy hat, although a beanie would work too. What is your version of cozy chic?!

Casio Vintage Watch: Your New Favorite

Kelsey K. — Thu, 15 Dec 2016 14:00:13 +0000

There are some things in life that you need and there are others that you want. Consider a reliable wristwatch a closet necessity! Aside from the aesthetically pleasing advantages of wearing a watch, there are many practical benefits as well. We live in an era where we use our phones for everything – including checking the time. While I am thankful for the workhorse housed in my purse, it is FULL of distractions. My productivity has significantly increased since switching from my phone’s clock to a wristwatch. I am confident that you would experience the same wonderful thing.

Just in time for the holidays, introducing the Casio Vintage Collection, available for purchase exclusively at Bloomingdale’s Union Square. These classic timepieces make the perfect gift for the fashionista in your life that appreciates style and function. This arm candy features a digital display, stop watch, alarm, and LED backlight. Who knew that sporty could be so chic?! I must say, it is pretty nice just looking down at my watch and not being distracted by an analog display.

I am a sucker for all things vintage, but especially those that are vintage gold. The idea of owning a watch that is suitable for working out (thanks to the water resistant design!), and going out behooves me. It is one less item to coordinate. I am already looking forward to using the stopwatch mechanism on my weekly jogs and daily visits to the Bar Method.

One of the easiest ways to draw attention to your newest accessory is to dress in all black! As you can see from today’s featured look, I did just that. Black and gold is edgy, so I pieced together the edgiest items I could find in my wardrobe. A chocker, a black cold shoulder blouse, frayed black denim, and embroidered booties. Undoubtedly the watch pops against this ensemble! Now that you have seen my Vintage Casio Watch styled for everyday wear, how would you like to see me style this timepiece the next time?! You have heard enough from me and about my style preferences, so I’d love to hear some of yours. Do yourself a favor and go see the dazzling collection in person at Bloomingdale’s Union Square, San Francisco or get product updates on Facebook here.

Wish List Wednesday: Fall Bags

Kelsey K. — Wed, 21 Sep 2016 15:00:51 +0000

Now that we have our shoes and jewelry lined up for the season, it is time to think about fall bags! Not only is it important to store our prized possessions somewhere safe, but a fabulous purse has the potential to transform an ensemble from good to great! Here are a couple of bags currently on my wish list.

A leopard print clutch can go a long way and this bag by Sole Society is ready for the ride. Whether you accessorize with black or brown accents, this animal print beauty will match with both. And when you’re feeling funky, consider mixing prints for an added affect. Featuring a calf hair exterior design and an interior zip pocket, this clutch is also suitable for cosmetics or small electronic devices during travel. Who isn’t a fan of versatility like that?! Add this eye candy to your wardrobe and thank me later.

The Jenni Saddle Bag by Gigi New York is the perfect everyday handbag. An affordable take on the Chloe Marci Crossbody Bag, this item, in navy, will match with it all! Don’t you wear your go-to blue jeans with just about everything?! My point exactly. Crafted out of soft pebble grain leather, this stunner will effortlessly elevate your chic game. Wear it over your shoulder, or across your body and detach the included tassel as you please. As if it wasn’t good enough already, personalize your purse in gold with up to three initials. The Jenni Saddle Bag is also available in tan, black, grey, and stone. Take your pick!
