Personal Style: Favorite Pieces

Happy New Year's!  With a new year, comes new goals and plans.  Why not make one of your goals to find your personal style! Mix new and vintage pieces.  Have fun exploring and playing around with what you already own.  And then see what items you might need to add to create versatility to your wardrobe.  And if you ever need help, I'm only an email away ;)

 

 I was asked to be part of a exciting campaign called We Search.  We Find.  We ShopStyle.

 

Here is a clip with Miranda Kerr, one of my favorite style icons!

 

 

 

 

 

 I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite pieces that I love to mix and match.  I absolutely adore items that are classic with a dash of edge! I love finding new ways to pair them!   Below are a few photos of items I wear on repeat throughout the year.  Some have been around for quite some time, while others are from this season.  All of these have one thing in common, they reflect my Style.  Style is art, it is a way of expression, and it should be timeless, effortless, and fabulous!

Life through iPhone: Outfits & Recent Purchases

Happy Thursday to you all!
Here are a few photos from the past month from my iPhone. 

I am obsessed with my Erin Condren Life Planner.  My hubs loved mine so much, I got one for him too! It's a great way to stay organized.  I'm not really into using my iPhone; I am the type, I need to write things down to remember.  I received an amazing deal on mine.  They always have specials and discounts, so definitely do not pay full price if you want one.  AND best part, you can customize it with so many different types of covers and colors.  Yay for pretty organizers! 

 I also picked up the fun colorful pens! 

FYI, they are currently have a 40% off discount on all Erin Condren Life Planners.

Here is the Truth & Pride Leather Jacket I bought a while ago.  Love the white leather sleeves!

Nordstrom Spring Splurges - Wildfox, Truth & Pride, etc.

 

 

Wildfox 'Baby Love' V-Neck Tee

 

I am a huge fan of Wildfox, and when I saw this in store, I knew I had to buy it for spring.  The material is lightweight and the deep v-neck is perfect.  Let's talk about the hearts! It's girly yet the fit is edgy.  I absolutely love it.   I have a few other Wildfox pieces and they are  great for everyday wear

 

 

 

Truth & Pride Leather Sleeve Moto Jacket

 

I am all about leather jackets! Even living in Florida, every place we go to is still under A/C.  Chic and modern, it is perfect to throw over any outfit.  The white creamy leather sleeves make it perfect for the warmer weather.  I couldn't pass this one up.  Plus Truth & Pride has been one of my favorites for a while now, the quality is superb for the price.

 

 

 

Paige 'Jimmy Jimmy' Distressed Skinny Jeans (Riley Destruction)

 

These are great for casual wear during the spring/summer.  I love the look/feel of these.  You can dress these up with heels or wear them with sneakers.  Great buy that will last you forever!!

 

 

Edyson The Sloan Skinny Jeans

 

I love all the printed jeans this season.  And these are no exception.  Polka dots have always been a favorite, and everyone knows I'm a "Jeans and tee shirt" gal.  Love the distressing at the knee.  And the price is awesome compared to the Marc Jacobs version.  I tried both on, and honestly these were just as great!

 

 

Every season I like to splurge on a few key pieces.  I am a bargain hunter at heart.  Always check Nordstrom Rack, lots of times they have the same item on sale there.

 

Thanks for stopping by and reading!!

 

 

 

Stay Lovely,

Nordstrom Picks - Blazer, Booties, Jeans, & Tops

There is no surpise that I am a huge fan of Nordstrom and their outlet, The Rack.  I always find great deals and unique pieces.  Here are a few items that are pleasing to the eye ;)

 

 

 

 

Sam Edelman Lisle Boots

 

These booties are effortless and the Red color is irresistible.  I can see myself pairing it with dresses and skinnies.  They also come in Black, Olive, Burgundy, and Saddle.

 

 

Truth and Pride Floral Silk Blazer

 

How charming is this blazer?! I seriously own a few blazers from Truth & Pride and they are all so remarkably made!  This one has a tuxedo shawl lapel and is made of silk.  It' versatile and pretty!

 

 

 

Wildfox 'Je T'aime' Graphic Deep V-Neck Tee

 

I love Wildfox for their chic and rock n' roll vibe.  This one caught my eye.  Je T'aime means "I Love You" in French.  Ok how darling is that!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pure Sugar Peplum Blouse

 

I'm a lover of floral prints and this one was no exeption.  I love the contrast sleeves and peplum hem! I am huge on the retro look and this would work perfectly paired with a pencil skirt or a sharp pair of bell bottoms.  I own a 2 pairs of Mother Curfew jeans and oh how I adore them!

 

 

J Brand Skinny Stretch Jeans (Hewson Wash)

 

I don't own a pair of red jeans.  When I saw these, I knew I needed a pair.  These can be worn any season and they look stunning on! And I may be biased, however J Brand makes a phenomemal pair of jeans! I love that these are mid rise, lately I have been buying more of this rise.  I think partly because when I lean over I don't like having to pull at my jeans to make sure nothing is revealed ;)

 

 

What are some of your favorite stores? Do you have any items on your wishlist?

 

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Thursday!

 

Till Next Time.

Outfits, New Things, and Adventures

 

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! Here are some photos from last week and things I have been loving lately. 

 

Enjoy :)

 

 

 

 

 

Love this westen inspired top by Haute Hippie.  I adore off the shoulder tops. On my wishlist (when it goes on sale, lol) Find it here

 

 

 

 

 

Ok, so I didn't actually wear this outfit anywhere, maybe it can be an inspiration to someone.  I'm craving fall weather and of course styling outfits is so much fun! I really need to get a  regular camera.  These are blurry :(

Ordered this gorgeous Cobalt Blazer by Truth and Pride (I'm obsessed with their line!!)  Can't wait to wear it! I love the fact that it is loose fit.

 

 

 

Last week we went to Sarasota Children's Garden.  What a fun place for kids! I felt like I was in a magical garden.  Masha had a great time exploring and playing with our kids.  It was definitely an adventure for her.  I can't imagine how amazing everything looked from her point of view.  She is already 22 months and loves to lead.  I literally followed her around while she lead the way. 

 

 

 

 

 

How cool are these colored wheels?!  My friend had a Groupon for this place, so it only cost us around $4 bucks.  I would go here again on a cooler day. 

 

 

 

 

My mom and Masha.  They have such a sweet relationship.  Love both of them so much :)

Love these Trouve booties! Excited to wear them this winter (whenever that will be ;)

 

 

I have been wanting a pair of Army skinnies for a while, and found an amazing deal from a contact I have.  These are by J Brand and I love the coated look.  They almost look like leather.  Super hot!  I will post an outfit soon.

Nordstrom Buys and Recent Outfits: Truth and Pride Blazer and Paige Paloma Leather Pants, etc.

I have been busy lately with play dates and enjoying as much as I can of the last months of summer heat. I practically live at the pool. Since it has been so hot here, instead of getting my cardio through speed walking (with the stroller and baby in tow), I have been swimming. Thankfully I have the gym right next to me too with free day care.

I can't wait till it cools down! I have been doing some fall shopping to prepare myself for the cooler days ahead. I'm already pulling out my boots (I am a bootaholic!).

Here are a few outfits and snap shots from dressing room fittings.

 

Guess Dark Denim Jacket

Mauve Top via TJ Maxx Sold Out (Similar here)

J Brand Cargo Pants

Black Booties (older)

Kate Spade Hot Pink Purse

 

Love this outfit I wore earlier last week on a rainy day! Notice the pony tail, yep, I have been styling this lately.  My hair is getting so long, I'm trying to find new ways to style :)

 

 

 

Truth and Pride Hot Pink Blazer (Similar less expensive version)

Paige Paloma Leather Pants

Sequin Top via TJ Maxx Sold Out (Similar)

Boutique 9 Black Patent Pumps

 

This outfit rocks! It would be an AWESOME date night or "girls night out" Outfit.  Not showing too much, yet still flirty and young!

 

 

 

J Brand Atomic Denim Jacket

Trouve Snake Print Top

Paige Kelly Green Jeans

Kate Spade Hot Pink Purse

Sam Edelman Nude Pumps Sold Out (Similar ones by Sam Edelman)

 

I wore this outfit last week on a cooler day, and I love how the jacket tones down the brighter colors.  The Kelly Green Jeans are amazing.  Paige Denim really know what is going on when it comes to fit and style.

 

 

 

 

Had to include this photo.  I am trying on a DVF blazer, love the color.  It comes with a belt so it would be more fitted around the waist.  

 

Look at my child, lol.  Love her!  She is trying on a DVF red number, and totally rocking it!

 

 

 

Vince Silk Oversized Blouse

J Brand Coated Jeans in Fog

Tory Burch Reva Flats

 

I am loving this blouse.  Feels like heaven against the skin.  And the jeans are just perfect.  Fit like a glove!

 

 

 

Saw this beautiful DVF blouse.  Love the pink, of course :)

 

 

Close up on Nordstom Purchases...these leather pants are so HOT! I ordered the xs because I feel like pants/jeans seem to stretch out over the course of a day.  They fit snug and comfortable.  I might also order a Small just in case I get pregnant  (they are that gorgeous!)

 

 

 

Thrifted Blumarine Wool Camel Dress.  How timeless is this dress?!  I got a steal at $28 and my MIL tailored it for me. 

  

 

 

French Connection Striped Sweater via Saks

 

I love French Connection for their modern take on clothing.  This sweater is super fitted (I got the xs) and it is simply amazing! It hugs all the right curves.

 

 

 

Another shot of denim jacket/green jeans

 

 

 

Saw this DVF Faux fur coat.  Reminded me of a black sheep.  Maybe if I still lived in Seattle ;)

 

 

 

Some Beauty purchases from Ulta.  I had a coupon and decided to hit them up since I needed mascara.  I normally order the Bad Gal, but the girls convinced me to try the "They're Real" and i'm loving it.  It curls and lengths and no flaking.  I also love the Yes to Blueberries wipes.  My fav from all their line of wipes.  The sale girl even included a cute makeup bag with some free samples even though I didn't make the $25 Benefit total.  What can I say, awesome customer service :)

 

 

 

How GORGEOUS are these scarfs?! (Via Saks)

 

 

Oh lookie here, my princess at the pool.  Always on her tippy toes :)

 

 

 

 

Brian Atwood Pumps.  I love the color and look at that heel.  Very unique.

 

 

 

Dresses at Saks.  Oh, how I love color!

 

 

 

Rock and Republic Blouse via Kohls.  Very well made and I am loving the color.  Definitely will be eyeing more items in this color.

 

 

 

I asked her to smile, and she gives me this, lol.  Love this child. 

 

 

 

Ok, last shot of my fav purchases from Nordstrom.  I love pink and this blazer really did it for me.  I was wanting a Naven blazer but this one is even better!

 

 

Till Next Time.

 

 

Always Lovely,
