Style Essentials: Blazers

February 22, 2012

Blazers are having a moment.

This is my first “grown up” blazer and I’ve had it ever since my first internship interview. I don’t wear it as often because it feels more dressy than the ones I typically wear. But I like to switch it up every once in a while.

Shop: blazer, tank, jeans, pendantbracelet

When it comes to blazers, I usually wear them with skinny pants like this. Sometimes, I pair it with a skirt and recently, I upgraded from this J.Crew velvet blazer to this Rebecca Taylor one. Plus, I donated this peplum blazer and this Zara one because the quality was lacking and I rarely wore them.

Quality over quantity right?

Fashion for Hope: Boditecture

boditecture dress

It was last August when I first encountered Boditecture.

Convertible clothing for the girl who wants to transform her look with one article of clothing. Such an ingenious concept that I’ve often wondered why designers don’t make more of these type of garments.

Looks for Less: Nicole Richie

February 15, 2012

Nicole Richie has gone from zero to hero, as far as fashion is concerned. Personally, I was never a huge fan of hers, but during recent years, she’s made quite the comeback.

She ditched her old sidekick (you know who I’m talking about) and lifestyle, got some better clothes, and seemingly has gotten her act into gear. But personal life aside, I’m going to highlight three of my favorite Nicole Richie street styles and show you how to get her looks for less.

Nicole pulls off the shorts-with-tights trend perfectly. This look is casual, yet dressy — I love how the black pieces contrast with the relaxed tee and shorts. And her bag! It pops so well against this otherwise neutral ensemble.

Once again, Nicole looks dressy, yet cozy — and uses red as her pop-of-color. I adore her elastic-banded skirt and tights — this look could easily be modified for the office with the addition of a black blazer.

I love how her oversized, fur coat looks on her petite frame. I found a similar, petite, faux-fur coat at Asos that would look great styled with a pair of skinny jeans and knee boots.

Anyone else a fan of Nicole’s fashion progress?

New Loves

February 3, 2012

beatrix ong and tsumori chisato designer

I’m always on the lookout for cool designers to follow.

Lately, my two faves are British shoe designer, Beatrix Ong, and Japanese clothing designer, Tsumori Chisato.

I’m not quite sure how I stumbled upon Beatrix Ong, but I am in love with her shoes! It’s sleek, modern, and oh-so-chic. She’s considered to be “The New “Choo” and I couldn’t agree more with her twist on classic silhouettes. I was able to snag the Vinci and I hope to show it off soon cuz it’s absolutely stunning!

Check out some shoes from her latest collection:

As for Tsumori Chisato, I was hoping to find clothes that make me happy and they do just that. The whimsical prints, bright colors, and boho-style draping just call to me. It’s pretty rare to find a designer that infuses such cheerfulness into her clothing, but she makes it look absolutely natural and effortless!

Check out some of her designs:

Lookbook: Navy + Goldfishes

Outfit Details: Forever 21 vest, A|Wear shirt (ASOS), AG Angelina jeans

Shop: vest, shirt, jeans

I have a weakness for neutrals…it’s true.

It’s so easy to mix and match but it might come across boring after a while, so I’m pushing to inject more happy, cheery outfits. I’ve been in a moody emo state lately which probably explains the dark colors…but I think happy things are on the horizon.

Recently, there’s been a slew of blogs that I recently discovered and I want to share them with you. So please follow them and show some blog love!
