I love embroidered denim because it’s a fun twist on some of the classic pieces that we all know and love. Whether on outerwear, a dress, or your favorite classic skinny jeans, embroidery always seems to take it up a notch and add an eye-catching element to every piece it graces. Check out the items I’ve rounded up below and don’t forget to click the images to shop my picks! Until next time!
Do you ever feel like certain items were just meant for you? A few weeks ago when I was on one of my regular shopping trips, I came across these embroidered jeans that I thought were absolutely PERFECT in every sense of the word. Unfortunately though, they were sold out in my size and I had no choice but to leave the store feeling slightly defeated and brokenhearted (cue the violins, lol). Flash forward to just last week while browsing around one of my favorite Jersey malls, I once again spotted these beauties and to my surprise they had my size! Without hesitation I ran to the dressing room to make sure the fit was to my liking, made my purchase, and began planning my next blog post. Embroidered denim has been quite popular among many retailers and I personally love the pop of interest it can provide to many of our favorite classic pieces. Because of the striking nature of this garment, I kept the rest of the look fairly minimal. Another item that is currently on trend and a staple when it comes to street-style is the wrap top. I have seen so many versions of this blouse, it’s hard to imagine someone having trouble finding a style that suits their fashion needs. For this look however, I chose to stick with a more basic design in a stark white so as not to compete with the boldness of the jeans. That being said, I still felt like the top added its own chic elements to the overall look with the tie detailing and ruching around the waist. To finish off the look I slipped on my black mules, a bold lip, and was on my way. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, I love garments that speak for themselves and don’t require additional bells and whistles to appear complete. With the right pairing, you will ALWAYS make a statement; until next time!

Coming from a private school educational background, I never would’ve thought that I would end up in a skort by CHOICE, especially considering all of the memories I have about the years of being confined to a uniform. That said, things change and style evolves so when I came across this raw edged denim piece, I was instantly intrigued. As it is still Summer and showing off bare legs is pretty much an everyday occurrence, I like finding new pieces that can give me more options outside of standard cut-offs or dresses; and this item did just that. Because this skort is a dark wash, the options were endless in terms of what I could pair it with. After much thought, I decided to accentuate the metallic D-ring belt detail by reaching for a champagne colored blouse. For me, this piece was simple enough to keep the overall look sleek while still adding a bit of drama with the ruffled sleeves. Though I was off to a good start, I still felt like this outfit was missing something and my snake print flats provided the extra bit of interest I was looking for. Mules, and other various forms of “slip-on” footwear, have been extremely popular over the last couple of years and I personally loved how this particular pair tied the look together with the color scheme as well as adding another element of texture. To finish off the ensemble, I decided to accessorize with my aviator readers and nothing else. There were so many focal points to this look, I didn’t feel as though a bag would’ve added anything extra. For me, it’s important to show diversity within the outfits I choose to wear so that getting dressed never feels like a mundane chore. Let me know in the comments below what you do to stay excited about your personal style. Until next time!!

T-shirt dresses are probably one of the easiest garments to throw on when you’re in a rush or simply don’t feel like putting the energy into styling a complex look. Though simple, these pieces come in a wide range of styles that make it easy to make a statement, while still remaining comfortable and casual. Check out the pieces I’ve rounded up below, and don’t forget to click the images to shop my picks. Until next time!
First of all, I’d like to say I was quite proud of myself for coming up with such a witty title. Secondly, I am still beyond shocked that I actually styled this look AND liked it enough to make a blog post about it. Up until the moment I saw this piece, I really had no interest in the color green. Apart from the occasional olive garment you could catch me rocking during the Fall, all other “green-ish” shades I tend to stay away from. That said, this kelly green dress managed to completely change my opinion in just a few hours. During this particular shopping trip, I managed to walk past this floral tee about three times before I finally gave in and tried it on and to be honest, there wasn’t much to it. I wish I could say that I was completely blown away by this piece but I just saw it as one of those easy, “I have nothing to wear” items. After a bit more browsing, I decided to just get it in hopes that I’d be able to work it into my wardrobe at some point. By the time I got home and began laying out my outfits for this shoot, a light bulb went off in my mind and the look instantly came together. For casual shapeless garments like this, it can be easy to dress them down and let them swallow your frame. However, being the lover of contrast that I am, I chose to elevate this look with a pair of metallic, rose gold heeled sandals. These shoes were absolutely perfect for this outfit and really made the pink and yellow details in the flowers pop. Because I was rocking such a bold print, I didn’t really accessorize much outside of my everyday studs and go-to fringe backpack. Though quite simple, I still feel like this look makes a major statement and I’m definitely happy I decided to purchase this dress. I guess green isn’t so bad after all– until next time!

As a lover of knitwear, it can sometimes become disheartening knowing that I have to store certain items away until the cooler months. That said, there are TONS of lighter, more Summer appropriate pieces that can hold you over until the weather breaks. Check out some of the thinner knit garments I’ve gathered below, and don’t forget to click the images to shop my picks. Until next time!
Getting dressed during the Summer can easily become repetitive and boring; I mean, how many dresses and tank-top/short combos can one wear?? That being said, there are ways to keep your outfits fresh and fun and it all boils down to FABRIC. Choosing items made of lightweight, breathable fabrics can allow you to play around with your style and even do some minor layering without overheating. For this particular look, I chose to build around these amazing high-waisted striped culotte trousers. Culottes are a great option for the warmer months because their loose fitting construction can keep you cool while still looking chic. Another bonus in regards to these trousers is that they are made of a light linen fabric which keeps the air circulating throughout the garment. I chose to keep my top neutral and show a bit of skin with a bardot style crop top. Because this piece is made of a thin knit material, I was able to comfortably brave the heat despite the fact that it is more form fitting. Being that my color palette was fairly neutral, I thought it would be nice to add a pop of color with my powder blue heeled sandals. Bright colors are pretty much a staple during this time of year so I thought these strappy shoes added an unexpected, yet eye-catching touch. Lastly, no Summer look is complete without a pair of sunnies and I was thrilled to be able to incorporate one my latest purchases. I’m definitely an aviator girl when it comes to sunglasses and these gorgeous ombre frames were right up my alley! Remember, just because it’s hot doesn’t mean you can’t still enjoy experimenting with your style. Stay cool, and until next time!

The hotter it gets, the simpler I want my outfits to be. When shopping in preparation for this shoot, I really didn’t know what I was looking for, however I was certain that I wanted to stay away from prints. After trying on a few pieces, this bold tomato colored midi dress was the unanimous winner! Aside from the stunning color, I loved how simple and elegant this dress was without being too showy. To me, this was the perfect “I have nothing to wear” garment– one of those items that you can throw on with a few accessories, and instantly look put together. Because I wanted to apply the overall effortless and minimal vibe of the dress to the entire look, I chose simple pieces to pair it with. I’ve recently been seeing these cross-body bags with gold ring handles almost everywhere but I wanted to wait until I found the one that best suited my personal wardrobe before hopping on the trend; and it was well worth it! Aside from going with absolutely everything, this bag provides a chic edge to any outfit it is styled with. For shoes, I decided to wear my nude and black block-heeled sandals, which I felt nicely tied all elements of the look together without creating too harsh of a contrast. I was honestly very pleased with how this look turned out and feel like I may want to add a few more dresses in this style to my collection. After all, there’s nothing like feeling easy, breezy, and beautiful on a sunny Summer day. Until next time!
