What do you all think of the way that I styled this tulle skirt for a fancy holiday look with statement jewelry, leopard pumps and a metallic clutch?  How you would wear the Ashley tulle skirt! Tell me in a comment on this blog post for an extra chance to win one for yourself just in time for the Christmas holidays!

P.S. How amazing are these Luxy Hair clip-in extensions! After trying out the Ombre Chestnut extensions, I don’t think I’ll ever be satisfied with just my normal hair again! I feel so glamorous when I’m wearing them like a goddess! Haha! Honestly though, I highly recommend them especially if you want fuller locks to work with! Also, they’re great for adding some color into your hair without having to actually color your hair!

Good Morning readers, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Today, I want to talk about how to wear cropped sweaters.  There are a few ways to wear them in the winter. You can wear a cropped sweater with a high waisted skirt or pants with a little hint of skin showing or you can wear a slightly longer cropped top that doesn’t show any skin at all like this one (here).  However, my favorite way to wear a cropped sweater lately is layered over a long button down shirt.  Remember when I wore a dark grey cropped sweater just like this with a white oversized shirt here–> The Debut of the Jenn Bucket Bag

To avoid looking bulky or boxy up top when layering, you need to try on a few different sizes and styles of cropped sweaters to see which style works best for you. Some of you may look great in a snug tight sweater while others rock a more loose fitting style. It really all depends on your shape and preference. Since I have a short torso I went with a size petite small for a more cropped fitted look. The regular small was too long on me and hit at an awkward spot on my stomach, which made me look boxy.  Try a few out and let me know what you think! I highly recommend trying the style shown in today’s post. As you can see below, I liked it so much that I bought it in two colors!

Keep your eye out next week to see how to wear a cropped sweater with high waisted skirts!

Good Morning readers, I’m sure after you saw how many times I wore this leopard print coat during the holidays you knew that it wouldn’t be long before I brought it back out again! This is another faux furry piece that I’ll be bringing along with me to New York Fashion Week. As for the bag, I am in love with my new Kate Spade Beau bag and will definitely be sporting it to the Kate Spade Fall 2014 Collection Presentation this Friday! It’s such a beautiful sleek bag with lots of room to fit my camera and not just a few but ALL of my beauty essentials, which is perfect for me because I like to pack everything! I mean everything! If you know me you know I come with a lot of baggage…literally! I’m kind of a bag lady. I hate not bringing something that I might possible need. So if you’re like me and pack your life with you,  the Kate Spade Beau Bag is the handbag for you.

Good Morning readers, yes that is me roaring like the tiger in the photo above. Today I’ve styled this cozy graphic sweatshirt by The Elizabeth Chronicles two different ways! For my first look, I paired the sweatshirt with pointy toe pumps, my Marc by Marc Jacobs Hiller Hobo, my green flash lens raybans and finished the outfit by draping a leather jacket over it.

For my second look, I went more casual with a pair of flats, but still fun with the vintage leopard print clutch and blue lens shades! I love how how the sweet ballet flats add an expected twist to the coated skinnies with zipper details.

I absolutely love this graphic tiger sweatshirt! I’ve only styled it two ways here, but there are many other ways to wear it! How would you style this graphic sweatshirt? Shop more designer-inspired graphic tees and tanks by my favorite local tee designers The Elizabeth Chronicles !

Check out the second way I styled it below!
