Steal of the Week

What girl doesn't like to day dream about items that she can't afford but would love to have? Well, I have been lusting over this Tory Burch bag (bottom purse) and another one like it for a while now but couldn't ever rationalize forking over $560 at this moment in my life. But, I still loved the style and unfortunately/fortunately for me, my current black purse is out of commission with two freshly broken zippers. So, off to Zara I went (was actually not looking for this purse) and stumbled across a very similar looking bag (top purse). This purse was less than a fifth the price and super cute! I'm very pleased with this bargain! Sorry, Tory...

Rock Your Favorite Vintage Tee: Look Two

There is nothing like a glam maxi skirt to dress up a vintage tee. I love this royal blue maxi, especially with the gold accents. It feels very...rich. I tried to keep the accessories and shoes a little more edgy with this look to keep it dressier. These gold gladiators are everything. They are comfortable yet look so funky and dressy all at the same time. I need this outfit on my body...asap. 

6 Black Shoes You NEED

Sure, to your boyfriend these are all "black shoes" and could most likely be used interchangeably. We all know that's the furthest thing from the truth. These are just six basic black shoes we all need in our closet just merely to survive. Sounds dramatic but it's totally rational (to me). Don't worry, I've found the absolute musts of the basic black babies.

"Ring" in 2014!

True...I am a jewelry junkie. So, it only makes sense that we "ring in" the new year with some fabulous finger candy!

Last Chance White...Done Right

If you follow the "no white after Labor Day" rule, time is ticking for you, honey. Get out those fresh white pants and start planning your outfit for the weekend before the whites get placed in the closet, not to see light for many moons. I'm loving a little color blocking with the white pants for a fun weekend look. This hot pink top (from Tibi) plays nicely with the Saako Design teal necklace and yellow Yves Saint Laurent heels. Keep the rest of the accessories simple with jewelry like these Tory Burch earrings and H&M stacked rings. It's the summer, so keep the makeup light with Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream and a pink summerly gloss stick. 

Boots, Scoot, Boogie

Finally making my first cowboy boot purchase, I was eager to start figuring out when I could debut them and what to wear with them. Luckily for me, I had just purchased this white lace H&M dress. I love the idea of pairing cowboy boots with a super feminine outfit. Make sure the dress isn't too long...this dress on is fairly short, allowing a bit of leg between the boots and hem. Jazz up the rest with a splash of color. Cowgirl up!

Weekend Wear

Living in Florida means summery clothes, regardless of the season. Taking a weekend trip to Siesta Key, Miami, Key Largo? Here is a perfect guide to a day outfit that works for everyone. These are staple pieces that almost everyone has...striped or vintage t-shirt, larger totes, sandals and a maxi. 

Falling into Fall Fashion

These boots were made for walking...literally...they are comfortable and have minimal heel. It's time to bust out light jackets and boots. My favorite part of this outfit is the necklace. Monograms are always precious but his necklace is especially cute. Splash on one of my favorite perfumes, Miss Dior Cherie by Dior and the perfect fall shade of nail polish to finish off the ensemble.
