OOTD: White & Denim

For those of you who broke out your white denim this past Memorial Day Weekend like myself, here is one of the many ways you can put together an ensemble that includes white denim. This look was thrown together last minute and proved to be comfortable and chic ;) Wore this outfit on a long walk from my hotel to Capitol Hill--perfect for the weather! I will try and get up another of my favorite ways to wear white denim soon. All of the things I am wearing will either be linked to for easy access or similar things will be. Enjoy!

Wedding OOTD: Cobalt Blue and Lace Up Shoes

This weekend I attended my boyfriends friends wedding. It was a really nice day out so I decided to wear a more warm weather outfit. I wore this dress a couple weeks ago in Atlantic City for a birthday celebration and I just had to wear it again, I loved it so much! The fit is just perfect and I absolutely love the textured pattern.

Here are the details on everything I wore: 

1. Dress: Express 
2. Shoes: Nine West View them here! 
3. Bracelet: Henri Bendel View it here! 
4. Earrings and Necklace: Diamond cluster ball style--given as gift. 
5. Lipstick (since I know someone will ask me lol): MAC So Chaud--you guys know I LOVE blue and orange together!  
6. Nail polish: JulieG Sushi for Two---this is the most beautiful coral orange color. Makes for the perfect pedicure color too! I will be reviewing and swatching the 10 or so Julie G nail-polishes I own very soon! ;)

You can see more of the texture of my dress here, isn't it just to die for?! :)

Recycle the dresses you love ;),

A Very Peplum Weekend: OOTD's, IMATS & Birthday Parties!

La Caverna NYC

This past weekend was such a whirlwind for me. I did so many exciting things!

Friday: After work I shot home to get ready for my best friends birthday celebration in the city. She chose a really interesting fun venue that literally made you feel like you were in a cave, enjoying a drink, with a hookah and a DJ hahah It was unlike any other place I have ever been and I truly had a blast. Not only were the walls and ceilings made to resemble crystallized rock formations that you would actually find in a cave, but the place was underground therefore giving it a really cozy feel.

My best friend, the birthday girl and I :)

You guys didn't think I would have a photo with my boyfriend with his eyes fully open did you? lol ughhh!!

Here is my OOTD for the Birthday Celebration:

 

• Shoes: Nine West
• Leather Panel Leggings: Zara
• White cap sleeve peplum top: Forever 21
• Blazer: H&M
• Purse: Juicy Couture

Saturday: After getting home rather late from the night out in the city, I woke up at 7am to prep for IMATS NYC! I had been looking forward to this day since last years IMATS. I love getting to see everyone and buying all the goodies :) I had such an amazing time there. I actually didn't buy much, two things for a future giveaway and a set of makeup brushes and some nail polish. I was going to vlog but couldn't get accustomed to talking to a camera in public haha maybe one day soon I'll suck it up and do it ;)

IMATS OOTD and Photos:

• F21 Necklace
• Express Red Peplum Shirt
• Express Black blazer
• MK Rosegold watch
• Express leggings (visible in other photos)
• Not pictured are my shoes: Tory Burch Reva Flats in Black
• Purse: Juicy Couture

@emilynoel83!

@makeupbydenise and myself :)

I had to leave IMATS early to do some car shopping--if only dealerships were open on Sundays! Anywho, it all paid off because I bought a new car! 2013 Black Nissan Altima SL, she is a beauty for sure---still trying to come up with the perfect name for her---yes I am one of those haha Any suggestions?

Did any of you go to IMATS NYC? If so how did you like it and what did you get?!

A very peplum weekend,

Birthday Brunch OOTD: Express, Zara, Macy's, Nine West

This Sunday I attended a friends birthday brunch.  I decided to go casual chic and opted for something that would be both comfy (jeans) and sophisticated. Here are the details on my outfit:

Jeans: Zara
Blazer: My very adored, wear all the time, goes with everything, blazer from Express
Tank: Target (these tanks are amazing--I own 4 of just the white ones!)
Scarf: Cejon (Macy*s)
Pumps: Nine West Melitta (from last year)
Jewelry: Michael Kors rose gold watch, sideways cross name necklace from etsy, diamond studs

I really love these burgundy jeans, they are a subtle way to add some color to your wardrobe. This color is very "warm" and perfect for winter.  I know I am going to get tons of use out of these babies because there are so many options when it comes to pairing colored denim!

Fashionably Yours,

My Holiday Outfits!

The mister is working this year for New Years so I may not really do anything as grand as I have previous years.  Therefore, I am posting this annual post of mine a bit early because it may just end up including these two holidays--if by chance I do end up doing something absolutely spectacular, I will just do a separate post on that ;) Here we go:


Christmas Eve:

Dress: Zara

Stockings: Urban Outfitters (LOVE these!! Had them for a few years and wear them all the time!)

Black Cone Heel Suede Boots: Urban Outfitters

Pink Rhinestone Bow Ring: Vendor at IMATS

Shamballa Bracelets: Gifted from boyfriends Mother

Christmas Day:

Pants: Forever 21

Shoes: Nine West Melitta

Bangles: Forever 21

Blazer: Express

White Tank: Target

Necklace: Macy*s

I didn't really have time to shop for new holiday ensembles this year and I was forced to rummage through my closet for both occasions and I am glad I was! I used things I already and and whipped up two totally new outfits :) Sometimes you just have to look at what you have and pair things together in a new way for a completely new outfit. 

Hope you all enjoyed your holidays!

OOTD: Aziz Ansari Show in Atlantic City

Hello, OF COURSE I wouldn't have the proper camera on hand to shoot OOTD photos with me on vacation, that would just be too good to be true! haha I always seem so unprepared when it comes to shooting OOTD's. In all reality it is mostly because I never think of them beforehand, hint as to why my photos are always taken by the door! haha I think of it last minute as I am walking out. Anyway, I think you can pretty much still see everything I am wearing in this photo anyway so I hope this post serves its purpose: to show you guys how I throw certain pieces together and to inspire you :)

This past weekend, I ventured to Atlantic City with my boyfriend and my parents to see one of my favorite stand up comedians, Aziz Ansari! I absolutely love his comedic style, I was literally laughing ALL night long! :) For a show like so, I wanted to wear something that would look classy but chic as well, after all its a night show ;) Here is the rundown:

1. Dress: H&M
2. Bangles: Forever 21
3. Earrings: Diamond Studs featured MANY times in my previous posts! 
4. Shoes: Nine West Rocha
5. Handbag: Juicy Couture (Bloomingdales)
6. Hair: Waved with a 1.5" curling wand that I constructed from an old curling iron with a clip!  (If you haven't already seen how this is done, let me know and I will try and do another separate post on that, it is such a $ saver!) 

**IF YOU ARE READING THIS VIA MOBILE SITE OR IF THE PIC JUST APPEARS BLURRY, CLICK ON IT TO ENLARGE AND IT WILL COME UP MORE CRISP! ** (I don't know what the heck is going on with blogger making my photos blurry lately! SO frustrating :(

Yes, I cut my hair ;)

OOTD: Yet Another Graduation BBQ!

These photos were taken very last minute, literally as we were walking out the door, so they were snapped with an iPhone, next time, I will try and have my good camera around so I can get better quality photos of detail, color etc! :)

Here's the Rundown:

Shoes- Jessica Simpson
Dress- Forever 21 (came with belt)
Watch-Michael Kors (the rose gold one that has made MANY appearances in my blog posts ;)
Hair- Curled with a clip-less curling iron and they fell into simple waves :)
Ring-Although you can't really see it here, it is the hot pink crystal bow ring that was also in my other Graduation Party OOTD posted not too long ago, for more up close pics of it, take a look at that post!

This was a very impromptu OOTD, hope you enjoyed! I wanted to keep it simple yet elegant and also remaining outdoor party appropriate :)

Have a Wonderful Day,
