All In One

Wearing: Top Sandro | Shorts A.L.C. | Sandals Steve Madden, Similar

One look that I love for fall is lacy silk slips and tanks layered over a tee. This shirt perfectly captures that look in just one piece, which is why I instantly fell in love with it. While it's still hot it works perfectly paired with shorts and as it gets cooler I can't wait to layer it more with a cozy sweater or a cool leather jacket.

I fell in love with this top the moment I saw it. I have a thing for mock necks, and that along with the crochet knit made it pretty hard to pass up. To make it more wearable for daytime I layered a bralette underneath so it doesn't have such a plunging neckline and I added a pair of slides to keep it casual. 

Culottes

Culottes have become very popular over the past season but it has taken me some time to finally try it out. When your wardrobe consists of 99% skinny jeans, it's not exactly easy to try such a different shape. But when I found this amazing pair (on sale, no less) I knew it was time to try it out. I love how just with a basic turtleneck the look feels so polished. And the all black outfit is the perfect look to wear these amazing new Chloe boots with (also an amazing sale find). They're a beautiful greenish/blue color but with the lack of color in my wardrobe they can easily be treated as a neutral and will be worn with almost anything.

Summer Dressing | Part 2

One of the most important items in one's closet will always be a little black dress. The versatile style staple allows you to put a unique spin on your outfit each time you wear it. I bought this dress last year and it is still one of my favorite things to wear. I decided to add a denim shirt over it to add a little interest to a casual look. But, the real star of the outfit has to be these amazing shoes, which I searched the internet for earlier this summer. Unfortunately, I could not find them in this color anywhere but I have linked the same style in silver above. 

The Dress

Wearing: Dress A.L.C. | Sneakers Kenneth Cole

I showed you guys how I styled this dress as a top and vest last week, but I figured I should probably show you it as a dress as well. I decided to dress it down with some white sneakers for a daytime look, however, it could easily be dressed up with some sandals or heels too. 

Reinvented

Wearing: Dress (worn as shirt and vest) A.L.C | Jeans J Brand | Flats Kurt Geiger

So I decided to take this amazing dress (that I got for a major steal on The Outnet) and switch it up a little by wearing it as a top and vest. I love this look because it creates a cool tone on tone effect that is all one color but somehow doesn't fall flat at all. And it takes the dress to a more casual level, which means I'll get even more wear out of it. I think I may even like this as a top and vest better than as a dress..

Keep It Casual

Wearing: Jeans Frame Denim | Tank Sen | Jacket A.L.C., Similar | Shoes Vince

The sun has finally come out and I'm so excited to finally get to wear something other than the same few sweaters that I had been wearing over and over again as winter dragged on. One of the things I'm most excited to wear are ripped jeans. I have managed to amass quite a few pairs of ripped denim over the past month or so, including this exact pair in two different colors. (Here they are in white) In my defense, I do wear denim almost every single day, and this pair is so comfortable it only made sense to have them in white and blue (shopaholic excuses). Anyway, I love the ease of ripped denim with simple basics for a casual look. And I also love how the knotted detail at the bottom of the shirt adds a little something extra to an otherwise plain white tank. Plus its also made of the world's softest material, no exaggeration. 

Mexico | Part 2

Love this dress that I bought last minute. I think it was on sale for 30% off with an additional 40% off, so basically I got a major steal. The asymmetrical layers combined with the striped pattern make it the perfect vacation look.

I had to bring this perfect little black dress with me. (Previously seen here) You can't see it in the picture but it has a cute cutout in the back. And since the dress is so simple I wore some statement studded sandals.

Nothing screams vacation like super bright colors.

Wearing: Top Joie

This vacation I finally conquered my fear of white pants. I'm usually too afraid I will be the one to accidentally sit in something while wearing white. But I think these jeans were worth the risk.

Fall Transitions

What I'm Wearing: Jeans AG | Sweater Rag & Bone | Jacket A.L.C., also love this one | Shoes Chanel

In my opinion, the key to surviving fall lies in a good jacket. Or, more likely, in a few good jackets. (Who could pick just one?) I love the leather detailing and hardware on this jacket in particular. Plus, it is the perfect lightweight transition piece for these warm one minute, cold the next type days. Layered over the perfect basic sweater and paired with some destroyed denim, it is the easiest way to stay comfortable and look good this fall. 

Brooklyn Bridge

What I'm Wearing: Dress A.L.C. | Bag Balenciaga

Here are a few pics from the weekend before last weekend when I made the trek over the Brooklyn Bridge and into Brooklyn. It was the hottest day ever but I made it to Brooklyn Flea, which was full of some really cool things. And I wore the perfect little black dress, made of the softest material, and with just a little hint of skin with the cut-out in the back. It's the perfect piece to carry me through the rest of the summer and into fall.
