Seventies fashion keeps making it’s comeback, especially with everything flowers. I love dainty and soft looks and flowered headbands, shirts, dresses and free-spirited apparel are all on my fashion fave lists this spring and summer. Expect to see more hippie chic with fringe, bleached denim, crop tops, halter dresses, and my personal favorite- platforms. How do you wear your flowers?
I have always considered myself fashion forward. I can remember when I was in 7th grade, the highlight of my month was getting the Delia’s catalog and choosing the highest platform sneakers I could find. I was always fascinated with my mom’s 70’s pictures with her belly shirts, bell-bottoms and sky-high platforms.
Although some fashion is merely a trend (they may resurface!) such as bell-bottoms, leg-warmers, and leotards; some looks are here to stay. That is why I absolutely love trying new things like fun patterns, crazy head-pieces, and bold glasses. The spontaneity and edginess gives me a thrill. Some pieces and styles will never be out of style. Little Black Dresses. A perfect-fit blazer. Nude pumps. Vintage Chanel. Since my mom has always been very into fashion, she taught me an important lesson- only splurge on classic, never on trends. It’s ok to mix your Christian Louboutins worth more-than-your-laptop-stilettos with your Forever 21 skirt. Remix your look, have fun, and be you.

It’s definitely sweater season in New England. As long as I tried to hang on to my open-toe shoes, it’s time for booties and sweaters in CT. One thing I love about cooler sweater is the ability to look cute while being so cozy in an over-sized sweater like the one I am wearing from H&M (below). This is one of my favorites with a pair of skinny jeans and booties. So simple yet chic. What is your favorite thing to wear in chilly weather?
Are you ready for our new #streetstyle post? This week is all about the boots! These boots are made for walkin’ and they are also made to look freakin adorable! 🙂 Fall activities call for fall attire and we decided that boots, floral, and layers are the best way to stay comfortable yet look fashionably chic. Our goal with street style is to put together real, affordable looks for the every day fashion-obsesed girl.

As the CT Topshop ambassador, I had to check out the line at Nordstrom in West Farms mall. I had a blast looking through the unique items and scored myself a new casual winter coat as well as a gorgeous lace & beaded cropped top . My favorite part of the experience is you have your very own Topshop Personal Stylist! My PS was named Dan & he was so helpful and a little fashionist-o himself.
P.S. how are you liking my new Ombre hair?
