Hello all! I wanted to get out a quick post. I came out to Pensacola to see my sisters for the long weekend and am having a blast! We've been shopping and catching up all day but I wanted to take some time to post an outfit for you guys. I liked these shots cuz the hair reminds of the show I Dream of Jeannie lol. Anyway, I hope u all enjoy the long weekend.

My style: top knot and neutrals

2012-11-07T12:22:00.001-05:00

I tried a new hairstyle in these photos, the top knot, and thought it turned out pretty good. I've seen it everywhere and finally decided to give it a go. I also kept my outfit pretty simple with neutral colors. Take a look below!

Lots of love,

My style: Last days of warmth

2012-11-01T14:40:00.003-04:00

Well it has finally gotten cold here in Florida and I have been layering like crazy but I wanted to post the last few pictures that I have of some of my summer outfits. The skirt I wore to work that morning and then on a particularly cooler day last month I paired jeans with a sweatshirt when I went out with some friends.

My style: Happy Belated Halloween!

2012-11-01T14:40:00.001-04:00

Hey everyone,

I hope you all had a fabulous Halloween! I spent it laying on the couch taking care of my sick boyfriend so it was very relaxing and jut what I needed after this busy week. I have literally had something to do every night this week and I will continue to until next week. It's crazy but I love getting to see people I haven't see in a while. Anyway, here are some outfit shots. They're pretty preppy and therefore I love them lol. Enjoy!

I also added a shot of the pumpkin that made with my sister and niece. It turned out great but then went bad after like a day so I had to toss it. But at least I got this picture to remember it!

My style: Floral

2012-10-09T10:26:00.000-04:00

Hey everyone! I've been crazy busy and that's why I haven't posted on here in a while, in fact this will be a quick one as well. I've been keeping up with taking pics I just haven't been able to post about them so this will be something just to let you all know I'm still alive lol. Hope you are all having a great fall season and for those of you who have actual seasons (sorry fellow floridians) enjoy the changing of the leaves, it's one of my favorite things about fall. I am driving to MO tomorrow so ill get to see some of the leaves as we travel through the mountains. I can't wait!!! Anywho, here is an outfit I actually wore a while back but beggars can't be choosers an I liked this outfit so I'm sharing it with you.

Lots of love,
TD

My Style: Wedding colors??

2012-08-20T18:16:00.000-04:00

This may be my favorite outfit that I have ever worn. And that is saying a lot because I have had a lot of favorites but I recently tried this color combo together and it has immediately become my all-time favorite. There is something very preppy about it that just makes me feel very pulled together. And now looking at it, I'm even contemplating using it as my wedding colors (whenever I get around to actually getting married). What do you think, good choice or am I getting carried away with my love of navy and coral? I guess I'll let you decide for yourself by taking a peek at my pics.

The Write Style: Fun Ideas (and outfits) for Labor Day weekend

2012-08-17T14:27:00.000-04:00

Guess what’s just around the corner?! Labor Day! And you know what that means…it’s your last chance to have some summer fun before fall arrives. I personally love Labor Day weekend because it’s such a chill holiday. There is nothing to do except hang out with friends and enjoy the last few summer days. I have compiled a list of some of the most fun things to do for Labor Day below.

Cookout- I love going to cookouts, not so much hosting them, because I can just hang out with friends rather than manning the grill the whole time. Still, any chance to be with my friends is good enough for me. So I might just have to see about planning one of these.

Pool or Beach Party- We recently added a pool in the backyard and I am so in love. I have yet to have a pool party so that also might be on the agenda for Labor Day weekend. For those of us that live near the ocean, a beach party is also a great idea for the upcoming break. This used to be a weekly event when I was in college and even thinking about it now makes me want to grab my beach bag, call a few friends and head over to that sandy paradise.

Shopping- What list would be complete with shopping? Tons of stores are offering sales and discounts for Labor Day and it would be foolish not to take advantage of this.

Movies: So many good movies have come out recently and they are just getting better as the year goes on. Whether you’re looking forward to some romance, action, or terror the movies can offer you all of these (plus they have popcorn, and who doesn’t love popcorn?)

Bar hopping- I’m not much for the club scene but take me to a good bar and I am all for it. I tend to prefer the more laidback atmosphere and thankfully so do my friends.

So there you go.What are your plans for the Labor Day weekend? Drop me a line and let me know!

Lots of love,

My Style: Grey Day

2012-08-09T17:54:00.000-04:00

I bet you guys can't believe how many outfit posts I've put on here back-to-back. But I've just had so many building up that I need to get these on here. So anyway, these pictures are also from my Coach obsession days so you'll get another chance to see my newest bag. Here ya go!

Ok well, you guys have a great night. I have to go cook dinner for the boyfriend. Still not sure what I'm gonna make...

Lots of love,

My Style: My Birthday Bag

2012-08-02T18:27:00.002-04:00

I don't remember if I ever shared on here but for my birthday (way back in May) the boyfriend got me the best gift! It was a coral Coach bag that I saw and had to have. Affectionately nicknamed Coach I took it everywhere for about a month straight. These photos below are from that time. I know go ahead and stare, it is quite lovely.

Oh also, the picture behind me was actually painted by my super talented Mother. I'll have to do a post showing all her work cuz its awesome. Anyway, I'm having an end of the summer party tonight at my place beacuse two of my sisters are leaving for college tomorrow so I better start setting up. I'll talk to you guys soon.

Lots of love,

My Style: Romper

2012-07-31T22:59:00.000-04:00

Hey guys! I have been swamped at work and so I haven't been able to get on here like I want to. But the funny thing is that I've managed to take tons of outfit shots I just never get to upload them. So, some of these posts (including this one) have outfits from a while back but I'm sure they're still relevant so here you go.

I wore this romper on a Saturday while doing some running around. I love rompers because they are easy like dresses. You only need one piece of clothing and you have an entire outfit. The only drawback to them is that you must give yourself ample time for bathroom breaks.

I'll be back with more pictures soon!

Lots of love,

The Write Style: Reminiscing about 4th of July

2012-07-20T17:32:00.000-04:00

America’s Independence Day just passed and I'm still reminiscing about the fun events my friends and I did and the things we can do next year now that I know about them. So, naturally I wanted to share with all of you the exciting entertainment that either was or will be available in Jacksonville. And of course this wouldn’t be a fashion blog if I didn’t include outfit ideas for each event, check them out below.

Hopefully this gives you guys some inspiration for next year.

She's got the write style: The Kardashian Sisters

2012-06-26T11:13:00.001-04:00

For my celebrity look-a-likes this week I wanted to showcase sisters that I think have great style. Love ‘em or hate ‘em the Kardashian sisters are pretty much here to stay and while I know that lately they have been in the spotlight a little too much I still love to catch their shows or see pictures of them and see what trends they are wearing.

For this post I looked at Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe and I showed how they wore certain outfits and how to recreate them on a budget.

All three sisters love dark neutrals with pops of color so I tried to keep that element when recreating their looks.

So go ahead and check out the pics for examples of how to dress like your favorite Kardashian. And leave me a comment letting me know which outfit you liked best!

Hopefully I'll be back soon with some outfits shots. Until then...

Lots of love,

My Style: neon crossbody bag

2012-05-16T11:03:00.001-04:00

I wanted to show you guys the new purse I got for myself for my birthday. Last week I was at Target checking out their purses and I came across a great find, a neon cross body bag. Even better, it was on sale for $17! I quickly snatched it up and am so glad I did. That evening I saw one of my favorite bloggers rocking a very similar style except hers cost quite a bit more. I like that my bag was cheaper because while it is a fun bag to wear for the summer I doubt that neon will be a trend that lasts forever so I didn’t want to splurge on something that I probably won’t be wearing for years to come.

Still, I’ve already had the chance to wear it once and I can’t wait to wear it again! You can check out my pics for one way that I styled it, but I am already creating styles in my head for the next time I wear it. And the next time you’re in Target check their purses section because you might be able to score one as well. And if you are more of an online shopper I put together a collage of similar purses, where you can find them and how much they’ll cost you (mine is the Target bag to the left).

Here are some of the pics I took of my new purse.

My sister also got me the cutest watch/bracelet from Forever 21 for my birthday as well. It wraps around the wrist twice and the watch part looks like a lock, it's so adorable! It was hard to get a picture of it but I tried.

Ok well, I'll be back soon with more pictures but until then...

The Write Style: Mother's Day Outfit Ideas

2012-05-09T11:59:00.000-04:00

This week I have been racking my brain trying to come up with the best Mother’s Day gift to give to the one who has given me everything. I have also been researching fun things to do here in Jacksonville for Mother’s Day and I wanted to share a few with you. I have also come up with an outfit idea for each activity.

Mother’s Day Brunch: This is by far one of the most popular things to do on this day and here in Jacksonville is no different. My all time favorite place to get brunch here is the Crabcake Factory on Beach Blvd. They have brunch on Sundays starting at 11am. The food is buffet style all you can eat and comes with complimentary mimosas. If we decide to do brunch this is definitely where I’ll be headed. If you do decide to try it out I would recommend getting there before they open though because many of the times that I went people were already waiting outside and it wasn’t a holiday.

Mother’s Day Beach or Picnic Day: Living in a city this close to the beach, I couldn’t rule out a beach day. One of my mother’s favorite things to do is to spend the day at the beach reading a book (under an umbrella of course). So I thought it would be great to pack a picnic lunch and spend the day at the beach. One of our top places to go is Huguenot Park. Mostly because they allow you to drive on the beach so there is no hassle of having to walk back to your car because you forgot the sunscreen.

Mother’s Day Shopping: I actually wouldn’t consider this for my mother because she really doesn’t like shopping but I know when I become a mom this will be top of my list of things to do. If you’re looking for a good shopping plaza to go to here in Jacksonville, then you can’t do any better than the St. John’s Town Center. It literally has every store you could possibly need, not to mention any restaurant that tickles your fancy. I would also warn though that the Town Center is always crowded and I don’t expect it will be any better on Mother’s Day.

These are just a few of the ideas that I have for Mother’s Day but of course there are many more. Just make sure that anything you choose will be enjoyed not just by you but also by your mother.

The Write Style: 2012 Swimwear Trends

2012-05-08T12:10:00.000-04:00

Spring is finally here! Unless, like me, you live in Florida in which case summer is here! With these seasons come bbq’s, beach days, and pool parties. Many of us have been preparing for this for months by spending time in the gym and not partaking of that second (or third) cupcake. The hard work has finally paid off and you are bathing suit ready! The only problem is what bathing suit should I wear? I’m here to give you the top five spring/summer 2012 bathing suit trends and where to go to get the one that appeals the most to you.

One shoulder: One shoulder bathing suits have become quite popular recently and because of this they have trickled down and can now be found in many swimsuit stores and websites. These suits are classy and also trendy, which makes them very popular right now.

Cut outs: Cut outs are popular because they can be worn by anybody. The style is very flattering for most any body type and will hide the problem areas for a lot of women. They are also pretty easy to find in major retailers, which is of course a huge bonus.

Retro: One type of bathing suit that is making a comeback is the retro suit. Think 1960’s and you have an idea. For those of you that read my Mad Men post, this would be the bathing suit of Joan’s choice. It is another great choice if hiding problem areas and they go great with a pair of cat eye sunglasses!

Prints: Prints have always been big when it comes to swimsuit design and this year is no different. Be prepared for lots of florals, geometric shapes, and animal prints. Personally, I am more of a floral person but for those that love a good zebra or cheetah print this is the trend for you.

Ruffles: There is something so sweet about a cute ruffled bikini. Ruffles have been spotted all over the runways and I’m here to tell you that there are plenty of options from retailers like Asos.

Hope you are all having a good week!

Lots of love,

She's Got the Write Style: Mad about Mad Men

2012-05-07T13:56:00.000-04:00

Let me tell you I love when a show has great style. And by far one of my favorite shows to get inspiration from is Mad Men. Anybody else with me?! I think that all of the main characters look so chic, even the men and it makes me wish that I was born during that time frame. Well, since that is probably never going to happen I'll just have to settle for dressing in similar styles today. Below, I recreated looks for a few of my fave characters. Enjoy!

I had a blast this weekend celebrating my birthday and I'm kind of sad it's over. I'll have to do a post showing you what I got for my bday soon!

Lots of love,

My Style: Casual Tuesday

2012-05-02T15:19:00.001-04:00

On Monday, one of my best friends graduated from nursing school so I got to watch her get pinned. I was so proud and then we made plans to hang out and spend some of the gift cards and cash that she got (I know fun right?!). So on Tuesday we met up and hit up the mall. It was so much fun and just what I needed for this week. I'm still looking for a job and siiting around at home was getting so boring. While I was out with her I tried boba tea for the first time and I actually really liked it. It was weird for sure and not what I was expecting but I love trying new things and I will be getting it again. Anyway, this is the outfit that I wore to hang out with her. It has been miserably hot here so shorts were a must.

I saw a milkmaid braid on another bloggers site and thought I would try it. But with my hair being shorter it was a struggle. Nevertheless I liked how it turned out and I may just be adding this style to my list!

ALSO, MY BIRTHDAY IS IN 4 DAYS!! I CAN'T WAIT!
The boyfriend has been asking what I want and I am seriously considering having him buy this bag

Remember when I was discussing this a while back? Well, I still really want it. It is $160 though so we'll see. I may just save up and buy it for myself when I get my new job :)

I'll let you know what craziness I get into this weekend for my b-day.

Lots of love,

The Write Style: 2012 Olympics Inspiration

2012-05-01T18:52:00.000-04:00

With the Olympics right around the corner it is time to get into that competitive spirit and start routing for your home country. Now, I am a proud American and of course I will always cheer for them but my mother is Jamaican so I can’t help but feel a tug in my heart when I see them run track and field. No matter whom you’re cheering for you are going to want to rep your countries colors or flag. I have put together some outfits inspired by some of the countries that will be represented in the 2012 Olympics. I decided to showcase Jamaica, the UK, because they are hosting it, and of course good ole’ USA. Go ahead and take a peek! As the days get closer I’ve found myself prepping outfits and buying up shirts that will remind me of the proud place I’m from. To stock up on your gear check out my Polyvore page at ndavisunf.polyvore.com and don’t forget to tune into the real deal, the 2012 Summer Olympics held in London starting on July 27^th!

Well that's all I have folks. Sorry I've been so MIA I haven't really had a reason to take outfit shots but hopefully that will change soon!

Lots of love,

My Style: Man its been a while!

2012-04-05T15:44:00.001-04:00

Hey everyone! So I know I've been MIA but I am back and I have some great new pics for you. The reason I haven't been posting is because I am once again looking for work and so I don't have many reasons to get dressed up everyday. However, I did remember to take some shots of the outfit I wore recently so hope you like! Hopefully it won't be too long before I see you all again.

Lots of love,
