Saturday Picks: Stay Cozy!

I thought it was fitting to go with a cozy coat/sweater theme today, seeing that its snowing here right now! So curl up with some hot cocoa and look through for some winter inspiration!

Gina Tricot

A soft winter spin on the black&white trend...soft knits and an off-white make the outfit more cozy and warm!

L'Wren Scott

A more glamorous version of the long sweater! You could still be comfortable for the holidays, and look trendy and dressy!

Donna Karan Resort 2014

All white! White in the winter is no longer a no-no! This combination allows your beautiful smile to take the center stage!

Let me know what you think!

Have a great day... I hope this gets you dreaming of a White Christmas!

Newest Find!

I just got this new Rossetti bag today... I've been wanting a cross-body handbag for awhile now, and I was so happy when I saw this one! It was between this one and a Calvin Klein bag, but 1)I liked this color better and 2) this one had adjustable straps!:) And, it was $40 cheaper, which matters especially for a girl still in high school:) And i like the worn out look of this one. what do ya guys think?

Woman Crush Wednesday: Style Crush

Every Wednesday from now on, in honor of Woman Crush Wednesday, I am going to write a post on someone with amazing style, what makes their style unique, and how you can make the style your own! Because honestly, when you think of a celebrity you adore, its often because of their fabulous clothes, right?

This week's style crush: Lily Collins

I am going to start with an obvious one. Lily Collins is one of my favorite celebrities, and it is so fun to look up pictures of her different clothing selections. She's got that perfect mix of classic and trendy. She often times opts for the classic look, but she's certainly not afraid to mix it up a bit.

Today's look:

Here, Lily Collins went with the whole "mixing trends" trend. The floral colored, loose butterfly top pairs well with her shimmering champagne booties. Notice that she brings the attention to these two eye catching pieces by dressing the rest of her body in black, to create a sort of background for the "stars" of her production.

How to get the look:

I'm having trouble linking the picture to the websites, (I'm still new to blogging) so here are the links:

For the Floral Kimono

For the metallic gold booties

For the black bag

For the black tee

For the black skinnies

For the necklace

For the necklace, you could really wear any long necklace you have, but here's a choice for a fancier one.

I would love to hear what you think! Should I do this again with someone else? 

Happy hump day/wcw!:)

Sneak Peek

So, I havent posted anything for the past couple of days, because honestly, I'm currently working on a new series on the blog, coming soon! And by soon, I mean Wednesday!

Saturday Picks: Simplistic Statements

Here they are! The weekly picks! The overall theme this week is simplistic statements, with basic colors but certain aspects of the outfit that make it POP!

J Brand Jeans 2012

Simple earthen tones with a glossy, eye catching finish

Celine Fall 2013

Love the soft folds..a very warm and inviting look

Kilian Kerner Fall/Winter 2013

Only one base color, but the shimmering affect adds depth and excitement

DKNY Blouse, St. John pants, Marc Jacobs bag

The same color outfit not only smooths the whole figure out, it also directs attention to the beautiful and confident smile of the woman wearing it!

Thats it for today! I hope it gave you some inspiration for the upcoming week!

Remember to comment on your favorites!:)

Headband Friday

Well... Here it is...I wore my new headband today! I liked it... definitely a fun new look, and- I know a lot of girls dont like to admit that they sometimes dont wash their hair- but its a great way to hide dirty hair! Maybe I'll make a few more:) Anyone have any other ideas for new headbands?

Update: Muslin Headband

So, as some of you may know, I sewed my first item of "clothing"  a few weeks ago, but for those of you who have yet to find out my humble beginnings, click here.

Above is a picture of the result of my most recent sewing adventure. I had a roll of muslin, and I thought, hmmm, what does one make with muslin? And then I thought that it would make a great headband. 

The experience overall was enlightening. 

Yes I came out with a headband... We shall see if I like it after I wear it. I realized that I need to give myself a lot more "wiggle room" than I originally thought... I think giving myself an inch if material for seams and trimmings was not quite enough, as the headband fits quite snuggly on my head...but it fits nonetheless! If I could redo it, I would also make the headband a little thinner, maybe 1 1\2 inches instead of 2. 

But... I accomplished the feat of making something wearable! Yay! Celebrate with me!:) 

I also went into a fabric store today...yes, for the first time... And they are very boring and quiet. Doesn't make searching through isles of material very exciting. And they didn't even have what I wanted.

But on the plus side... new headband!:)
