Fashion Find of the Day: We Like Big Bows

This may not tickle all of your fancies...but I LOVE this blouse. Black...white...obnoxious bow? Sign.Me.Up.
This blouse, from Nasty Gal, is so versatile. Mix this feminine piece up with an edgier piece like the leather bottoms above. This can be paired with pants, highwaisted shorts, skirts, etc. With a bow that big, you can keep everything else in your outfit quite simplistic.

Fashion Find of the Day: Floral!

I've mentioned this before but sometimes my style straddles the line to Grannyville, USA. This could very well be a prime example. When I found this floral gem on J.Crew's Factory website, I almost dropped my laptop. Conservative, floral and colorful...my dreamboat top. What would I wear this you ask? What wouldn't I wear it with? White collared shirt underneath...with high waisted pants...with a pencil skirt...with skinnies.
I mean, it's everything. 

Sparkles, Spikes and Sassy Shoes

There is no better feeling than getting new high heels...in the world, there isn't a better feeling. You'll never be able to convince me otherwise. But, seriously. The arrival of these heels, from Zara, was the only thing that has kept me going since last week. Is it just me or when you know a new pair of heels is coming do you obsess over what the perfect outfit would be divine with them? Thought this would be the perfect opportunity to bust out my tight mustard pencil skirt from H&M. I paired the skirt and heels with this white and black blouse from Forever21. The necklace added a little feminine touch to the buttoned-up blouse. I kept the rest of my jewelry simple (or non-existent) and rocked a little magenta Sephora lipstick for a pop of color. Loving this outfit.

Chevron Chic

Chevron is all the rage right now so obviously I will have to partake in the fun. I feel extra sunny as a blonde when I wear yellow, which I love. Paired with another fun color, like my H&M ($10) cobalt blue pants here, is a perfect summer work look. Add some fun arm party (here the common theme is gold) and you've got yourself an outfit. I kept the heels neutral (Jessica Simpson) so there wasn't any distraction. I did, however, slab on a hot pink lipstick (complements of Urban Decay). The clutch brings it all together (Banana Republic circa 2007). 

Splash of Color

With the sun out in full force, make sure you're bringing a little color into your outfit mix. These dark coral pants are not only comfortable (nothing better than a little stretch to your pants!) but perfect for jazzing up a less-than-flashy cream top like mine above. Wearing a fun necklace over my shirt/under my collar is one of my favorite trends right now. I decided to keep a fairly consistant gold throughout the outfit, including the belt, shoes, jewelry and sunnies. In addition, this is work-appropriate and who doesn't love a new idea to spice up your Monday-Friday.

Leather Legs

At the Sara Evan's concert last night with my girlfriends, we all couldn't stop talking about one thing: how amazing Sara's legs looked in her leather pants. So...of course, now all I can think about is how I need a pair of leather pants. Maybe then, my legs will look as phenomenal as Sara's. For this outfit: ACNE 'Best' Skinny Leather Trousers, T by Alexander Wang Silk Georgette Blouse, Sasha Suede Pump by J.Crew, Moran Porat Jewelry - The Royal Necklace, Z Spoke Zac Posen Americana Mini - Purse, TARTE Liquid Emphaseyes Liquid Eyeliner 

Studly in Studs

The first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. I have a problem. I wear an obnoxious amount of button-up blouses. Tucked...untucked...you get the picture. This white blouse with black designs is my new favorite because of the studs at the collar. Adds a little edge factor to my top. I paired this top with red skinny jeans and black pumps. Maybe I'm a little crazy but maybe there is just nothing better than a crisp white blouse...with studs.

Beckham to Back Me Up

My girlfriends may think that I own one too many pairs of high-waisted pants/shorts/etc. and maybe a few too many loose blouses but then I come across this photo of the always lovely Victoria Beckham, and I remember why these are a part of my staple style. Yes, it's not flashy or "sexy" but it's me...and it's Victoria Beckham. Can't argue with that. 

You're Making Me Blush

Blush is a fabulously underrated color. Yes, it can be slightly difficult to pull off as a blog but nothing to be a scared of. This unexpected pinky hue is classic and feminine.
Top 1, Top 2, Top 3, Top 4

Nothing but Neutrals

Sometimes you just have to go back to basics...neutrals, in this case. What's fabulous about these neutral-toned items is that all of them have a little flair. The trousers are wide so your legs will look 10 miles long. The light sweater has studs on the top, the perfect little accessories. These pumps are a little aggressive but perfect peeking out from under these brown pants. The earrings and clutch bring it all together. This outfit just proves you don't have to wear loud colors to look spectacular and get noticed. 

Boyfriend Jeans Meets Girlfriend Glam

Boyfriend jeans. No, they don't belong to your actual hunk of a boyfriend...but they are a little relaxed and hang off your body just right. Add some girlie glam with over-the-top jewelry, feminine colors and sky-high heels. I would wear this in a heartbeat...if I lived somewhere cool enough for fur. YSL makes my favorite lipstick and there is no doubt this lipgloss would be equally as flattering.
