Coco Chanel Is My Inspiration

Hello Lovely,

This whole week has been a blur because I was sick, I had a tummy virus, and it sucked.

 

But I did spent the whole week reading about my hero Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel.

I haven't finished this book yet, but it dives into Chanel's life before and after becoming the Miss Coco Chanel we all know and love. It starts with the Chanel family, before Gabrielle was even born. Also how she was given the name Coco (she told a man-- her first lover, Etienne -- that she was a singer and went on stage and sang two songs with the name Coco in it)

I also watched her documentary and it is fair to say that she will always be an inspiration. If you don't have time to read about her life, you should definitely watch this because it shows you her whole journey from start to finish. Through her career, family, and love life.

I absolutely love this women and deserves everything her brand has become.

I want to know who your inspiration is. Or let me know what you think about this amazing women, Coco Chanel.

Three Transitional Outfit Ideas

It's finally the weekend!
So this time of year is always a little difficult. Winter isn't over but spring is on it's way.
I decided to create three looks for this transitional time of year to help bring inspiration to you when getting dressed in the morning.

http://jamifay.polyvore.com/

So each of these outfits have a few pieces in common. Each outfit is rocking a collared button down tank (one of my favorite types of tops), a pair of fun outgoing pants (whether it be stripes, pops of leather, or color), a watch (my new addiction- I have bought at least 3 new watches in the last month) flats, and a sweater or jacket to throw on top.

Each of these outfit will keep you comfy and warm and/or cool depending on your weather situation :)

Hope you like these outfit ideas, let me know what your thoughts are in the comments below. Also let me know some outfit ideas you would like to see.

Have a great weekend!

Pretty in Pastels

Hello beautiful readers,
So, spring is on it's way and I can't be more excited! I love all the pretty colors that spring has to offer. One of my favorite being pastels.
Here is a great way to style some of your favorite pastel colors.

I decided to go for a more casual outfit here. I mixed together the denim trend with the pastel trend we will see this spring. The floral jeans add a feminine touch to the grungy dipdye denim shirt layered over a soft pastel tank. This spring the flatform is coming back and I absolutely will be rocking this trend. Being 5'2", I like to add a little height and flatoforms are the perfect trick. To pull this look all together, add one of my new favorite nail colors, I have been wearing Essie's Mint Candy Apple nail polish and have been obsessed with it.

So there we have it. A head to toe pastel look. Let me know what you think in the comments below :)

Golden Globes 2013

Hey Everyone!
Hope you all had a good week. It's finally Friday with a long weekend, which I greatly need after this long week.
So I hope you all watched the Golden Globes this week. If you didn't than I hope you at least watched the red carpet-- my favorite part!

So here are just a few of my favorite looks that were on the red carpet.

So first (going clockwise from top left) would be Nicole Richie, who is one of my fashion idols, wearing Naeem Khan.

Next would be a very pregnant Kristen Bell wearing Jenny Packham. This is one of the best looks I have ever seen a pregnant woman wear on the red carpet.

Jennifer Garner was wearing a gorgeous red Vivienne Westwood gown.

Starting the bottom row would be Megan Fox in Dolce & Gabbana.

Next is Nicole Kidman looking stunning in Alexander McQueen.

Lastly, my favorite of the night, was Michelle Dockery in an amazing Alexandre Vautheir gown. I absolutely LOVED this dress!

 

So now that I have shared my favorites from the Golden Globe red carpet, let me know who your favorites were, I can't wait to hear!

 

For now

How To Style: Cut Out Shoes

Hi Guys!
I have a few posts that I have saved into my drafts but blogger isn't letting me upload any of the photos I want to attach to them... So I decided to make another How To Style post on polyvore (because that's actually working).
Down below are four outfits styled with Cut Out Shoes. I am in love with cut out shoes. I have a pair of my own from Anthropolgie with a wooden heel I got last spring.
Each outfit is pretty transitional depending on the weather where you live, just add a pair of tights or stocking.

Happy New Year! My Favorite 2012 Winter Pieces

Hey Everyone!

So I want to apologize because I haven't written a post since probably the end of October. School has been crazy, what with tests, homework, and getting ready to take the SAT's. But my New Years resolution to you and myself is to blog more.

I'm really excited because I got a new camera for the holidays, which is a Nikon 1 J1. Before I was either just using my phone which wasn't that great quality or, my dad's camera, but now I have my own.

So for this post I just wanted to share some of my winter fashion favorites for you.

 

 Of course, jeggings were a staple in my wardrobe. I like to feel comfortable when I am out, either at school or shopping, and jeggings are a great combonation of jeans and leggings.

 

 

Oversized sweaters are my absolute favorite winter essential. They are great for those chilly winter days, either outside or in.

 

 

 

Black leggings were also another staple in my closet. Because I am obsessed with oversized sweaters, leggings are great to pair with them.

 

 

I recently got these Doctor Marten floral boots and I absolutly love them. These are definatly a statement piece. I cannot tell you how many times I have been stopped because of these.

 

 

 

So let me know what your New Years resolutions and your favorite winter pieces in the comments below; also have a happy and healthy 2013!
