Our World Boutique & A Giveaway!

Shopping

Today’s post is sponsored by Our World Boutique.  Although this is a sponsored post, all opinions are 100% my own. I am excited to share a great online boutique with you that fits with any budget! I love boutiques. There is no doubt about it — when I travel I am always looking to find unique stores and boutiques I can’t find anywhere else. The great thing about online shopping is that I can do this on a daily basis now, without ever leaving home. I was introduced to Our World Boutique a couple weeks ago and couldn’t believe...

#OOTD

Outfits

Just thought I’d share some of my daily outfits that don’t make the blog, but are still a part of my documented daily style with a little hashtag action: #ootd. I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! Valentine’s Day: Lace Peplum Top- JCPenney (Similar here) Red Skirt- F21 (Similar here :: Last seen here)

Polka Dots at Work

Outfits

Some days I just want to match because honestly, it is just easy, right?  Well to make my gray dress and booties a bit more exciting, I added some navy polka dot tights and my mother’s polka dot earrings.  Sometimes I forget that earrings can add such a great touch to an outfit and after remembering to wear one of my more unique pairs with this outfit, I’m kicking myself in the butt for the days I forget to put earrings in at all. That my friends is life. It happens! Happy Friday Eve!

Blue & Coral

Outfits

So I FINALLY have some colored denim and when I was first deciding what to wear with my cobalt pair from Calvin Klein, I thought I would probably start out with something neutral, but when I found this striped blazer at Charlotte Russe on Saturday, I knew that I would immediately want to pair the two together! I wore this outfit yesterday to run some errands and go out to dinner with friends.  It is just one of those color combinations that makes you feel confident and vibrant  and well you simply can’t go wrong with a strappy pair...

Snakeskin: The Beginning

Fashion•Outfits

There was a time where I had no interest in animal prints.  When I studied abroad in England and Wales, I saw animal print in whole new light and decided to embrace it!  This snakeskin clutch from H&M was actually my first snakeskin purchase when I was studying abroad in London.  With all the hype surrounding packing the appropriate clothes and things to study aborad, I completely forgot to bring a going out purse! From there my love grew and grew…. and this pair of Steve Madden snakeskin heels was my second snakeskin investment.  I have worn them out...

Animal Print & Color Combinations

Fashion

These are a few of my favorite things… well my favorite animal print and color combinations!  I love adding pops of color to outfits as well as pops of animal prints, so when I mix the two together, these are my go-tos! I made a few outfits showing how I incorporate leopard & red, zebra & yellow and snakeskin & blue.  You can see  one of my leopard & red pairings here and my favorite pair of snakeskin heels and snakeskin faux leather pants to wear with blue here. What are your favorite colors to wear with animal prints?

Earth Tones

Outfits

Pin It The simplicity of pairing various shades of neutrals from tan to dark brown can turn into a surprisingly chic end result.  This outfit started with my new nude dress that I got on sale at a local Minneapolis store and from there it went in this order: polka dot cardigan, belt and oxfords.  My oxfords are always hidden away in my closet (sadly) and every time I wear them, I remember how fashionable they can make an outfit look!  Unfortunately my shoes are in a big pile in my closet right now because my turning shoe holder broke (oops!)....
