Aztec Diamond Blouse

Tuesday, April 30, 2013



W118 By Walter Baker Top: Ross ($14.99) (also here)
Sandal: Target ($20) (similar here)
Leather Shorts: Target (cute Free People version here)
Oryany Bag: Tjmaxx







I went to Macy’s a couple months ago and saw this colorful peplum blouse; it was such a statement piece, but $128 was way out of my price range. I figured it was very funky and wouldn’t be a blouse many people would gravitate towards, so I was planning on waiting until it was on clearance to buy it. Fast forward a few weeks- I’m at Ross and not only do I find the blouse, but it’s also on the clearance rack for $14.99. Does it get any better than that?! It was glorious moment and the blouse was still as beautiful as I remembered. I’ve been saving these bright red sandals for the perfect outfit and thought they meshed so well with this multicolored top. And the leather shorts were just icing on the cake!

Linen Jacket

Wednesday, April 24, 2013


H&M Linen Jacket: Thrifted ($8) (Similar versions here & here)
F21 Mosaic Dress: Plato's Closet ($6) (also love this dress)
Banana Republic Sandals: Thrifted 







This linen motorcycle jacket is perfect for warmer weather days. The jacket adds that extra coverage I wanted and the linen fabric kept me nice and cool. I found it at a thrift store with the H&M tags still on it for only $8, originally $40! It’s a pale pink, which is hard to see in pictures, so I paired it with this pretty mosaic-print dress; the blues in the dress stood out beautifully against the pale pink. I found this dress at Plato’s Closet for only $6; I’m crazy about the cinched waist and bright print- perfect for summer!

Silk Pants

Friday, April 19, 2013


Walter Baker Trouser: Ross ($9) (similar here)
Blazer: Love Culture (more white blazers here & here)
Nude Sandals: Steve Madden
Elliott Lucca Bag: Plato's Closet (another metallic crossbody here)






These silky pj-like pants by Walter Baker are super comfortable while still being stylish- perfect fit for a relaxed spring look. I kept the rest of the outfit structured so it didn’t appear like I rolled out of bed or was in the Hammer Time music video.

Bright Striped Dress

Wednesday, April 17, 2013



Dress: Plato's Closet ($16) (very similar budget versions here & here)
Denim Jacket: Forever 21 (similar Forever 21 versions here & here)
Sam Edelman Heels: Marshalls (also here)
Hype Bag: Plato's Closet







Dresses cut just above the knees are usually a fit I tend to stray away from; I always thought they shortened my figure and looked awkward on me. But when I found this dress it was too beautiful to pass up. There was something about the color-blocked print paired with the ultra-feminine cut of the dress that really drew me in.  I wanted to edge it up a bit with my spiked heels and this denim moto jacket (that I’ve been wearing 24/7) for a glam, everyday look.

Also, I have to share my husbands latest tattoo because it makes me smile so much
