Snakeskin Jacket

As one of my newest snakeskin collection pieces, I love my military style snakeskin jacket and pairing it with my new pointy toe heels and cargo pants just seemed right. And good news everyone… these heels are comfy and now on sale! Happy Friday, there are just a couple more posts left in snakeskin week!

Check back later today for an inspired post compiled of other’s snakeskin outfits and accessories! If you would like to be a part of this post, please e-mail a photo to rachelslookbook@gmail.com of your snakeskin look as soon as you can!

Snakeskin & Mint

There’s nothing better than my favorite pair of faux leather leggings with snakeskin print. Along with my new mint pumps, I was able to add a fresh, fun pop of color to an ensemble that makes me feel ready to conquer the day.

Neon Details: Part 1

So today I wanted to share three outfits incorporating neon yellow… neon yellow is by far my favorite of the neons as you will be able to tell in these photos… I have a few other neons in my closet, but these yellow pieces (and a neon yellow scarf I have) are my favorites. I am calling this post Neon Details: Part 1 because this is my take on more winterized outfits as far as the colors and the layering/tights. Neon Details: Part 2 will be coming sometime this spring when I can step outside with bare legs and smile, rather than run back inside as soon as possible because of the chilly weather.

Flawless Fall Fashion

Flawless Fall Fashion

I wanted to share a couple of my favorite fall trends for 2011, which sadly is coming to an end in Minnesota, but can still work well for winter time. Plaid trends are something I love to wear during the fall season into winter, and this year it is a MUST for your wardrobe. With major fashion trends, I try to take looks off the runway and edit them to fit my everyday life. I usually do this by taking small parts and incorporating them with my personal style. I would just do one piece, whether a skirt, button-up, jacket or shoes. I love to belt this jacket and wear some fun jewelry with the ensemble and also love to wear these flats with skinny jeans, a plain tee and a multi-chain necklace.

Light-weight sweaters are the best option for year round wear. My beige and white striped sweater is one of my favorite pieces because of its versatility, as well as the shoulder cutouts that made me fall in love with it in the first place! Now it’s great with boots, skinny jeans (denim or colored) and an olive green hat, in the spring/summer, it’s great with white shorts, strappy sandals and gold accessories.
