{Dare To Wear} Mixed Metals

It’s already week three of maxi-skirt styling and I’m even more in love with this skirt. In fact, maxis in general are becoming more near and dear to my heart. They’re far more comfortable than jeans and look more polished too. I’m sensing a maxi-skirt roundup post coming up. I wore this outfit yesterday and … Continue Reading

{Dare to Wear} Pink + Purple

“I may be an outfit repeater, but you’re an outfit rememberer.” Anyone else know that quote? It’s from The Lizzie McGuire movie, and I’m proud to say that I’m both a repeater and a remembered.

{Lighten Up} How to Achieve Subtle Ombre For Summer

The last few summers more and more heads have hopped on the ombre bandwagon, including mine. The gradual color fade blends tones into each other, graduating from light to dark.

{Dare to Wear} Flower-Child Style

Flowers are in bloom, my allergies are driving me nuts, and this weather is just so beautiful! As you may be able to tell from the last two Dare to Wear posts, printed pants are having a moment and are surprisingly versatile.

{Dare to Wear} Lots of Layers

The temps, they are quite inconsistent. One day it’s raining, and an hour later the sun is shining. My style advice, dress in layers.

5 Quick, Cheap, Easy Halloween Costume Ideas – You’re Welcome!

Halloween always seems to sneak up. I usually start brainstorming costume ideas in the summer (I know, crazy), but don’t take any costume-creating until the day of a costume party – bad habit, but I know I’m not the only guilty one. So, since I too am in a costume bind I’ve compiled some quick, … Continue Reading

{Trendy vs Spendy} Heart Blouse on a Budget

This ultra-feminine print is all over Burberry and it’s making our hearts pitter patter for their $795 blouse made popular by Victoria Beckham, Claire Danes, Lily Collins (check her out rocking it in Glamour mag over the summer), and Harry Styles. Alas, a blouse for almost $800 kinda goes against our skinny-budget mantra, so we’ve scouted … Continue Reading
