I hear wedding bells!! My best friend Bev, ((Chelsea)) is getting married in just one month! So we threw her an all pink and black bachelorette shindig this past Saturday! The day started with relaxing mani/pedi's and ended with so much dancing I thought my feet may fall off. Thank goodness we had a 26 seat party bus to escort us around the city. SO happy for this girly. Can't wait to stand by her side on the big day! Enjoy these few pics from our evening out!

Can't say I give enough attention to men's fashion trends on here, so I wanted to share some of my favorite menswear trends for Spring. Guys, step out of your comfort zone this season and try out some stylish man-jewelry, roll up your pants so we can see your great new trainers and don't be afraid to try new prints and crazy-colored mirrored shades.

It's not everyday you are able to spend upwards of $1,500 on a pair of designer booties. But today you don't even have to consider breaking your bank! I came across a nearly perfect replica of the popular Isabel Marant Scarlet Calfskin Suede Leather Wedge Bootie on Nelly.com.

MiroslavaDuma

2014-03-08T07:32:00.001-08:00

She's a super glam, former Harper’s Bazaar Russia editor and current freelance writer. Not only is Miroslava Duma an international fashion icon, but she’s got the smarts to back up her good looks (and adorable new bob) too – as she’s the founder of Buro 24/7, a killer style website that is gaining more and more momentum with every post that’s published. There's never a quick look and 'onto the next' street style ensemble when Miroslava is in the mix. I could examine her outfits for hours. She's truly a walking piece of art. What I would do to share this girl's closet! Photos and a reel video are below of Miroslava's greatest looks. Enjoy and have an inspiringly wonderful weekend!

TeeTime

Necessary Clothing

Fridays are perfect for sporting your favorite crazy graphic tee and most comfortable pair of distressed denim. BUT, tees can be worn so many ways, so broaden your horizons and branch off from a simple pair of jeans with your graphic. Try it instead, with a high wasted skirt, layer a blazer or unbuttoned flannel over it, or better yet, wear your tee over a button down! Enjoy this "Tee Time" post and check out some of my favorite and (affordable) graphic t-shirts! I hope you have a great weekend!

I couldn't be more thankful for the Valentine I've been blessed with. He truly makes every day seem like Valentine's Day and a time to celebrate being together. What better way to start off the weekend then waking up to Prada sunnies?! He knows me oh too well :]

'Practice keeping constant love in your heart; for your heart without love, is like your garden without sun.'
Happy Heart Day!

DeliciousAccident

2014-01-31T11:11:00.000-08:00

I was never one to consider myself a good cook; although I can't say I make the effort. I don't find much joy being in the kitchen, (I'd much rather spend time in my closet.) Cooking also gets a bit difficult since my meat-loving boyfriend doesn't always care for my "weird" vegetarian options. Any way, I came across a delicious dressing combination recently and wanted to share the recipe with you! I stumbled across this accidentally but now I can't get enough.

You will need 4 ingredients-
1. White Balsamic Raspberry Blush Vinegar
2. Classic Hummus 3. Cinnamon
4. Crushed Red or Black Pepper, or both!

In a bowl, combine your vinegar and hummus. Note: The more hummus, the thicker the dressing will be. Season to taste with your cinnamon and crushed pepper. Enjoy atop your favorite salad!

Quick, Healthy and Delish. My favorite kind of recipe :) Let me know how you like it!

Jeans are a staple in most people's wardrobe; but a common habit everyone makes is wearing the same pair over and over. Below are 7 styles of denim I think everyone should have in their closet. BUT, if you don't see any of these working with your body type and you already found your "perfect" pair of denim. I advise getting that favorite pair in numerous washes so you create more diverse wardrobe and outfit options :) All of the examples below are under $100.

Boyfriend/ Relaxed

Cuffed Ankle

Low Rise Skinny

Distressed

TheLunchBagClutch

2014-01-10T12:58:00.000-08:00

Yes, this is real life. And totally fabulous. The lunch bag clutch is one of my current favorite items. With the floppy function of a classic brown paper bag, translated into chic leather or heavy duty suede; designers like Marie Turner and Celine are all grappling over this quick grab-bag. Zara also has it's own version of the bag at a more affordable price. It’s such a fresh and interesting item to style.What I love most? The simplicity, and homage to the good old days.

Valentine's Day is just about a month away, so why not start planning the perfect outfit to woe your loved one or finally ask out the guy you've had your eye on. Studies have taught us that RED is the color a man prefers when asked what looks best on a woman. Red is the color of love, confidence and romance. Below are a few of my favorite red V-Day options under $100. But if red's not your color, most of these outfits are available in other shades.

Lipsy Mesh Cut Out Bodycon Dress
Roses Are Red Dolman Top & Red slant bodycon skirt

Aleena Lace Plunge Neck Puffball Dress

Azira Halterneck Skater Dress

Hybrid Pencil Dress With Sweetheart Neckline And Satin Inserts
Estera Slinky Split One Shoulder Belted Maxi Dress

ASOS Skater Dress With Leather Look Panels

CelebrityLooksForLess

2014-01-06T18:05:00.002-08:00

Imitation is the finest form of flattery. If you're like me, I'm sure you've seen many outfits on celebrities you'd die to have in your closet, but once you look closer at the prices of the items they are wearing, it's just not possible to get their look on a reasonable budget. Below are a few stylish celebrity looks and affordable alternative/imitation pieces you can use to recreate their looks for MUCH less!

Jamie Chung

Mixing prints is easy when sticking to the same color palette. Jamie mixed her Cameo mini with a striped sweater and oversize metallic clutch.

Forever21 Fireside Heathered Stripe Sweater

Zara Printed Mermaid Skirt

New Look Monaco Metallic Foldover Clutch Bag

Jessica Alba

Plum/Red Wine is a color trend I'm favoring at the moment. Jessica is wearing this head to toe plum look with her Tracy Reese turtleneck dress and Coach tote.

YesStyle Turtle Neck Ribbed Dress

Asos Pieces Eline Easy Chain Bag

Just Fab Rouen Heels

Kristin Cavallari

Two rules for wearing all black: Play with textures and opt for at least one formfitting piece. Kristin is sporting a boxy ribbed Helmut Lang sweater and a pair of leather Rag & Bone leather pants. A pop of color is encouraged; via bag, shoe, (or juice).

H&M Imitation Leather Pants

Mango Turtle Neck Sweater

Asos Leather Top Handle Bag

Sarah Jessica Parker

This pale pink, grey and winter white combo is one of my favorites. No rules about white jeans for Sarah, she knows exactly what she’s doing with this outfit.

Romwe Stand Collar Grey Coat

Asos Laird Pork Pie Hat

Topshop MOTO White Leigh Jeans

Get out your red and green- It's just 3 days until Christmas! Any day that involves yummy baking, gift-giving and family-get-togethers is a favorite of mine. Although it's been rather warm the past few days, (which is amazing in my book), winter style is so inspiring. Big coats, faux furs, scarves and boots have filled my closet the past few weeks and I've been lighting candles and drinking my favorite Christmas Tea every evening. I hope Santa brings each of you everything you wish for, and that the Christmas spirit touches your heart. The holiday season truly reminds me how blessed I am and I hope it does the same for you.

One of my favorite items for Fall, (excluding any kind of leather boot, oversized scarf or comfy knit), is none other than, the CAPE! Superheros know where it's at with this little number. I throw my cape over everything from a dressy blouse to a flannel. It looks great paired with leggings, printed pants, or even a high-wasted skirt. I say the cape is definitely a piece to add to your closet this Fall.
The five below are just a few of my favorites!
