Fourth of July is by far my favorite holiday. BBQs food, fireworks popping from every direction, pool parties, and s’mores are just a few reasons I LOVE fourth of July. Hope everyone has a safe one. How will you be celebrating?

Trend Alert: High Waist Bottoms

June 22, 201534 Comments

It started with the “mom jeans,” the total antithesis of hip-huggers which were my go-to jeans in my teen years. At first, it took a while for mom jeans to grow on me, however, designers have really perfected the high-waist style to create a clean, crisp look. What I love about high-waisted shorts, jeans, and skirts is:
1. They accentuate your curves in the right places and keep everything into place. There is nothing falling out in the wrong places so they are super flattering.

2. I love crop tops! But I just had a babe so… high-waisted pants are the perfect solution if you want to where those adorable crop tops without showing a lot of tummy. Problem solved!

3. They elongate your legs. I am only 5’2 so I need all the help I can get. If you tuck in your shirt or pull off a crop top, the extra fabric that shows gives the illusion of longer, leaner legs. I’m sold!

Suit up!

Although I very rarely dress in “traditional” business attire at the office, sometimes a crisp suit speaks volume. I am usually in dresses and mix & match blazers and skirts or pants, however when I decided to collaborate with Metrostyle, their classic attire suited me!

I loved the wide-leg pant on this suit, as well as the light and fresh gray color and one of my favorite things about this suit… it’s only $49.99! You can shop the look here.

Also, while we are on the topic, I have shared my picks for office supplies. An adorable mug, travel perfume, and cute items to carry around your electronics add a little more sparkle to the work day! What are your office essentials?

Monday’s Look for Less

September 29, 2014September 29, 20149 Comments

When is it okay to splurge and when can you get by with a steal? From lipstick colors to high-fashion designs, there are always options. Personally, I like to invest in “classics” such as a favorite handbag, favorite purse and splurge on a classic pair of boots. However, when I may be going for a more “trendy” piece, I try to save a little money and find alternatives to still look fabulous. Here is this week’s look for less!
