Get the Look: Loving Lavender

I saw this picture on Tumblr and I became obsessed! I instantly wanted to re-create it. To re-create this look there are a few ways you can do it.

First you need an embellished sweatshirt or sweater. My favorite ones are from J Crew however you can get them from a lot of different places. I think an embellished sweater is a great way to add some sparkle and bling to your look.
Next you need a checkered shirt or gingham button down shirt. I think layering this with the sweater is a great combination. It's super cute and not to mention preppy!
You can also layer some necklaces to add an extra layer of sparkle and texture.
For bottoms you can wear whatever you please. However, I think it looks best with a great pair of jeans.
When it comes to shoes you can wear a fun pair of pointy toe pumps.

XOXO

Carrie Diaries inspired look

One of my new obsessions is the show Carrie Diaries. It is full of fashion, friendship, and a really unique plot line. If you haven't watched it YOU NEED TO! The first season is one Netflix so go hit it up.

But, in the show I love young Carrie Bradshaw's style. She is super spunky and not to mention bold. In her looks she incorporates a lot of patterns, textures, and colors. There is never a dull outfit when it comes to her style!

This is one of an early looks she wears in the first season of Carrie Diaries. It is a super fun sequin dress, bright patterned cardigan, and then a bold pair of pumps. Although this look is a little out there you can totally get inspiration from it!

Here are two looks that I created based off that photo. Both looks involve sequins of course! I think both of these looks would be fun for a night out or a party. They have some 80's influences without being too obvious.

The first look (left) is super glam and more sophisticated of the two. I paired a cream and gold dress with a fun animal print cardigan. The colors aren't too out there which makes it a little more wearable. A pop of color is added with a skinny belt which you could wear at the waist. I added a fun pair of pointy toed heels and a long necklace to complete the look. The shoes also add a little bit of an edgy touch with the gold metallic heel. You could create this look by simply mixing up a sequin dress you already have.

The second look (right) is for sure very bold and colorful. I paired a cheetah sweater with a simple black sequin skirt. Bright pink pumps adds an extra pop of color in addition to to the green in the sweater. To achieve this look simply pair a fun sweater you have with a sequin skirt. If you have a colored pair of heels throw those on as well. To finish the look wear your favorite bold statement necklace and a dash of pink on your lips.

Don't be afraid to take inspiration from your favorite shows. If you see an outfit you like try and re-create it with pieces you already have.

Enjoy a photo shoot my friend and I did while she was here. We found a cool effect using the Christmas lights on my tree.

Gold Glitter

Gold is one of my favorite metals. I love the look of gold and how glamorous it looks on. So, I wanted to share some of the ways I like to incorporate gold into my looks.

1. Jewelry: Jewelry is one of the main and easy ways to use gold in an outfit. Almost all the jewelry pieces I own have gold metal in them. I think its super classic and girly. You can get gold bracelets, necklaces, or even earrings anywhere! From Forever 21 to Henri Bendel there is a price point and style for everyone.

My picks:

Bauble Bar necklaces

Forever 21 jewelry

2. A sequin dress or skirt: I love wearing sequin dresses or skirts to spice up your look. They are great to have around if you ever need a fancy dress. I also like to wear sequin skirts everyday. There are so many ways that you can wear them in a casual way. Or you can dress them up and make it a cute going out look. Here is how I styled my sequins skirts during the holidays:

3. Metallic ballet flats or shoes: Adding a pop of metallic for your shoes is also an easy way to add gold into an outfit. Also, gold ballet flats or heels are super versatile and you can wear them for special occasions or for an every day look.

OOTN: New Years Eve

NYE was a fun time. But now its over.... However here is what I wore on the big night to close in the year of 2013.

I wore a white and black cut out dress. It has a high low detail which makes it a little unique. I think the cut outs add a little bit of sexiness to the look without being to over the top.

I paired the look with my blue heels. Also, I layered on two chunky blue statement necklaces to create a lot of texture and to add a pop of color into the look. For makeup I added a bright pink lip to brighten up my lips.

I love how these necklaces look together. They add a lot of different textures and colors to the look. It also fills an empty spot where the dress doesn't have a lot of details.
