Sleek Fall Outfits

Hi everyone, today I’ve partnered with Nordstrom to share four tips on how to create sleek fall outfits because bundling up doesn’t always have to look frumpy.

Wear all black beneath your coat. This is probably a no brainer, but I think we sometimes forget this little easy little trick. I especially recommend wearing black jeans or leggings.

2. Go for pointy toe boots and booties! Not only do they add an edgier vibe to your look, but they also help to lengthen your legs and look super flattering with black jeans and leggings.

3. Size down in moto jackets! When it comes to faux leather jackets, I always feel like the tighter they are, the warmer they feel. Plus a more fitted moto jacket helps you avoid looking boxy.

4. Swap out your chunky sweater for a sleeveless turtleneck beneath a faux leather moto jacket. It will still keep you warm while helping you avoid extra volume and puffiness throughout the arms of the your jacket. You can always add a scarf for extra warmth too.

So Long Winter Wear!

March 4, 2016

Today we’re saying to so long to turtlenecks, over the knee boots and pretty much all winter wear because even though spring hasn’t officially arrived, it basically feels like it has in Louisiana. I actually just made the switch from fall/winter to spring/summer in my closet last night. I boxed up all of my sweaters, boots, outerwear and cold weather accessories in large clear containers and stored them away in a separate closet. However, I did leave out this lightweight jacket for styling easy transitional looks.

First stop, Laguna Beach and then we’re off to party in the desert for My Style Diaries’ bachelorette trip in Palm Springs.

How To Style Your Nike Free 5.0 Shoes With Everyday Wear!

January 14, 2016

If you saw my Instagram post last night, then you know that I’ve been loving my new Nike Free 5.0 shoes both in and out of the gym. On Monday I showed you how I styled my nikes with a cute activewear look (see here–>Haute Pink Activewear Vest), but today I’m showing you how I wear my nikes with everyday wear.

Hi everyone, when it comes to styling your Nikes with everyday wear, I recommend ankle cropped skinny jeans or leggings to avoid awkward fabric bunching at the ankles. If you’re petite like me, you can just cuff the bottom of your jeans if they’re too long to show some ankle for a more styled and slimming look. I always think that showing off a little ankle allows for a much more chic and flattering appearance especially for petite people like myself!

How To Wear The Cape Blazer

December 20, 2015

I’m sure that by now you’ve all seen the new cape blazer/coat trend and if you saw my last post featuring the cape blazer, then you know that I refer to it as the “new tailored blazer” with a hint of edgy, chic. The last time I styled the cape blazer it was for a much dressier occasion so today I’m showing how to wear the cape blazer in a more casual-chic way. If you’re going for sophisticated-chic with legging jeans, over the knee boots paired with a satchel is always a good route to take. The over the knee boots complement the sleek vibe of the jeans and allows the cape blazer to do all the talking! Also, when it comes to capes, I find that I prefer bare arms over long sleeves, because I think it looks more slimming that way, but that’s just my personal preference. I’ve seen people style long sleeves beneath capes and it turn out amazing so it’s totally up to how the overall look makes you feel.
