As Relaxing as a Day at the Beach

Get the look // Shirt: J. Crew/ Skirt: Target/ Bangles: Silpada & Alex & Ani/ Necklace: Francesca's/ Earrings: J.Crew

Looking for a laid back, stylish outfit? Ya know, the kind you wear at the beach or relaxing by the lake. This is it! I think this kind of pulls in the denim on denim trend without actually doing denim on denim, which I adore.  Maxi skirts are feminine yet so comfy which is perfect for a night on the deck overlooking the bay.  For me being in PA, unless I'm on vaca I am overlooking a lake or river which is the next best thing to me! The point is it's almost summer and if you want to be comfy and cute while relaxing, grab a denim button down and maxi skirt and head to the closest body of water and enjoy that sunshine in a look that will turn heads, yet have you feeling like you are in your PJs. I loved how this Francesca's necklace accented the pink trim in this J. Crew denim shirt and captured the blue in this skirt from Target.

Whimsical Neutrals with a Pop

 

 

 

 

 

 

So you may be a neutrals gal but you are seeing all these bright and colorful accessories for Spring & Summer that really have you thinking, you just might venture to the bright side of things. I can totally relate. While, I am adventurous with colors and mixing prints, I love a simple, classic piece. If you are shy about breaking out of your neutral pieces, this style is the perfect segue, to trying something new. Simply, add one pop of color at a time to your neutrals.  It doesn't have to be shoes, it could be a necklace, belt, clutch, head wrap, whatever but it is completely do-able and so worth it.  You'll be giving those neutrals a fresh look while embracing trends and spicing your wardrobe up. I am in love with these gladiator sandals.  Pairing them with these lace and whimsical neutrals, gave this outfit, the perfect trendy pop. I think they are a standout for a pop creation no matter what you wear them with -- or when.

Florals & Fringe, Need I Say More?

Florals and Fringe, need I say more?

I loved romping around in this boho attire while I spent the day brunching and touring Blue Hound Farm with my soon to be sister-in-law and her other bridesmaids! (a.k.a, a perfect Sunday) After we enjoyed a to die for brunch at Home 231, we were off to explore her and my brother's enchanting venue, Blue Hound Farm. This place is seriously so endearing and catches your eye with all the little rustic details. I cannot wait for their special day and am so blessed to be apart of it! This look is one of my favorites! I'm sure you can see why, me being the material/texture addict that I am! I added more burgundy to my hair too! Have to switch it up every once in a while! A. Roland Salon is my savior in hair and facial products!

Leather Leggings Series-3

Here's some shots while I was having a little too much fun (if that's even possible) with my hat before we started the shoot! Hope you enjoy the look!

Okay, ya'll this is the last look from the leather legging series. I am a lover of chain necklaces, all things patterened and black (if you haven't noticed) but I love this look especially because of the hat! I ended up rockin this edgy little number for a girls night out on the town! The jacket actually came in handy because it still gets a little cool at night during this time of year. Nothing's better than being cute and comfortable, right?! Anyways, have a fabulous day lovers and remember leather leggings don't have to be worn, just one way! I hope these looks gave you some fresh ideas!

Hello Sunshine!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Nothing like soaking up the sunshine at a beautiful winery or should I say wineries. What started as touring one winery turned into three. This beautiful sunny day was spent enjoying the weather with my best friend. Our day was filled with laughs (which is nothing new for us) while catching up on anything and everything. Great company is key to any great adventure, and an adventure with your best friend is always a good reason to get dressed up and put a smile on.

Leather Leggings Series- 2

Hey ya'll so if you missed my first "Leather Leggings Series" here is a quick recap...

We all have those fabulous pieces we love endlessly in our closet. Well, leather leggings are one of those pieces for me.  So, I am featuring on the blog a couple different ways I like to wear them. 

 In my previous post I showed two casual styles. In this post I will be featuring a fun and sexy way I wore my leather leggings.  I actually wore this outfit for Valentine's Day and lets just say my valentine couldn't stop staring. Which is quite the compliment because we have been dating for five years! Needless to say I thought this look needed to be shared. 

For this look I went with soft curls, a nude lip and nude pumps for a softer, sultry look.  I then accessorized with some beautiful rose gold for my jewels. Another way, I have styled this outfit was with a high top knot bun and a bold red lip paired with red pumps to add a pop of color. I love everything about different textures and loved this combo of leather and fur.   

During the transition of shoots I forgot my heels in the car, but that just meant I had to get a little creative.  The first photo is the give away of what I was actually wearing when my feet are not showing.  But I took it a little further and I even went bare foot.  I actually ended up loving the contrast of bare feet with this high-end theme.  Just goes to show one piece can be wore, and styled in various ways-it's all about finding your style!

Have a lovely and blessed holiday weekend!!

Stay tuned for Leather Legging Series-3!
