Embellished Bows

in ,

Oh embellishments, how I love thee. I'm a big fan of wearing embellishments or a bit of sparkle any time of the year, not just at the holidays, and this look is all about some winter cozy with a hint of sparkle. First off, these shoes are a total knock in a bright red color with a rhinestone toe detail. The kitten heel is nice also if you have a bit of walking to do. I found them to be true to size. They are seriously eye catching and sure to grab some attention. Next is the faux fur wrap vest. It's a stunning winter white with the big faux fur collar attached. Having it as a vest is nice making it easy to layer and not have too much bulk underneath my coat. The collar kept me nice and warm and oh so cozy. It's on sale right now too! The whole idea for this look was to have some winter neutrals with that bright pop of red. It instantly jazzes up the outfit while the hints of sparkle has some pizazz.

Happy Friday, friends! If December isn't the perfect time to wear sequins, then I don't know when is. With holiday festivities and new years eve parties, this is the time of the year to pull out all of your sequin outfits and dress to the nines! I personally love to wear sequins all year round, but especially now. This sequin top with grosgrain bows is an absolute stunner! I'm wearing a size 00. The fix is a bit boxy and slightly cropped. It's also 40% off right now with the code HOLIDAY. I'm absolutely in love with it! It's a statement piece so the rest of your outfit should remain neutral. Of course, you can always match it with say a sequin skirt and really be the belle of the ball. I went with a more causal look, something that could be worn on a date night or even during the daytime for a glitzy ensemble. It's a little hard to see in these photos, but these jeans also have some sequins on them too in the rips. These would be perfect for someone who wants to wear sequins, but not in a flashy way. They give just a hint of sparkle. I'm wearing a 00P.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! I'll be attending some holiday parties and going to see Rouge One. I cannot wait! Does anyone else have some plans for the weekend??

One color combo that will always be effortless and chic is red, white, and black. There's no denying the powerful punch and classic feel it has. The red accents instantly grab your attention and provide that crucial pop. When I saw this dress at Forever 21, I instantly feel in love. It's a good quality piece and has more of a sturdy structure than many other items from there. I bought this in the store and as far as I can tell, it sold out online quickly, though you may still be able to find it in an actual store.

How cute is Ava's little outfit too?! Her top says "Stay Fancy" and I could not agree more =) For anyone that has children with in between sizes, The Children's Place carries them with on trend and chic clothing! Right now Ava could either be in an 18 month or a 12-18 month. Not everyone carries the in between sizes though so it's a score every time I find a store that does.

Happy Columbus Day! Just a quick post for today. I fell asleep editing some photos for clients last night and hadn't had a chance to post this until now. I hope everyone had a great weekend too! I was able to go see The Girl On The Train with Emily Blunt and loved it! She was amazing, seriously. I have such a girl crush on her <3 Did anyone hit up some good Columbus Day Sales?

I really love this outfit because its so simply and chic. The jacket finishes the look with a polished feel. You cannot go wrong with army/olive green and cognac. Such a wonderful neutral balance of colors, especially for fall! The criss cross details in the top add a nice and unique touch. I'm wearing an XS in the top.

Slit-Sleeve Blouse

in ,

One color combo that I do not see utilized too often is red and pink, though they are totally fabulous together! I always end up pairing the two around the obvious Valentine's Day holiday, but thought it would be fun to do the mix in the summer. The easy-breezy feel of this blouse with metallic threading is cool and laid back with an elevated polished feeling. Did I mention metallic thread, haha? That is what originally caught my eye. The slits in the sleeves reminds me of the cold shoulder trend, but with a more refined look. The red skirt is what may draw the eye with this outfit, but the top has a subtle elegance that is the icing on the cake.

I hope everyone has been staying cool. It's been a sweltering heat wave here in PA. I've been trying to get all of my outdoor activities/errands done in either the early morning or late afternoon. Any other time of day and its like a sauna. Really looking forward to fall right about now, haha.

Striped Fit and Flare

Happy Friday, everyone! It would seem that all I've been wearing lately is stripes! While that is certainly not the case, I do wear them quite frequently. This dress caught my eye because of the beautiful sturdy fabric, midi length, and the way the stripes were patterned. While not vertical or horizontal, these bias stripes compliment the curves of the body. The cut in arm openings also are high enough not to allow any gaping (with the dreaded bra showing) and also make the shoulders and arms appear to be more toned. Win! There is a black leather belt that comes with the dress, but I switched it out for my Vineyard Vines anchor belt. Confession, I had this belt on upside down for about half of the day before I realized it! I was so embarrassed, haha. Oh well, those things do happen every now and then.

We were able to meet up with my good friend Rhina and have some dinner and go shopping. It was wonderful to catch up. One of my favorite parts of the night happened at dinner. This is when Ava met her first boyfriend lol. He was our waiter at an Irish Pub and absolutely one of the best I've ever seen around kids. Ava was enamored with him from the moment she saw him. He would talk to her and play games. She watched for him every time he passed by. It really was the sweetest thing. I made sure to get a photo of the two of them together. Just look at how she's looking at him!

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! Below are some of the family photos.

Flowy Dress in Rehoboth

Printed High-Low Dress || Sandals also in black || Kate Spade Bag || Sunnies || Daniel Wellington Watch c/o || Jackie Kennedy Unity Band ||

When I'm at the beach I love to wear easy breezy dresses that flow beautifully with the summer wind. After spending the day on the hot sand, I slipped into this silky dress for a night out on the town. The print on this dress reminded me of palms and had me dreaming of a tropical escape. The high-low design is especially good for us shorter gals! The bodice has boning in it for uplifting support while the neck tie can actually be removed to create a strapless dress. This dress felt amazing in the hazy hot humidity that hung around all day. I paired these lace up gladiator sandals with the outfit. The metallic and white elements are striking and great for summertime.
