#MomentsofChic with Piperlime

Outfits

I’m so excited to be a part of #MomentsofChic with Piperlime! This fall, there are a lot of ways to style a sporty chic look, so when I was sent this bomber sweatshirt and striped sweater, I knew immediately I wanted to create an overall edgy/sporty than pairing the pieces with a skirt or something more feminine. I paired the combo with camo jeans and chunky beige booties for an overall chic fall look. I think it would also look perfect paired with white sneakers and blue jeans (a very comfortable option too), a faux leather pleated skirt and flat...

Leopard Print Skirt

Fashion•Outfits

Leopard print and I haven’t always been friends. In fact, when I first fell in love with fashion my senior year of high school, I was very ANTI animal print, especially leopard and snakeskin (which are now my favorites). It wasn’t until I studied abroad and met one of my very best friends Kaitlin, who was obsessed with any and all things animal print, that I gave it a chance. I think I came home with more animal print than anything else. How could I resist when I saw so many stylish Londoners pulling it off flawlessly? So now, enter...

Spring Colors at Work

Fashion•Outfits

Here is my second outfit with 10DollarMall.com! You can see my first one from last week here. I called this spring colors because two of my co-workers mentioned I looked very “springy” in this outfit, and I couldn’t agree more! One of the main reasons I love 10DollarMall.com and their new site just for women, Moddeals.com (everything is still under $10!!!!!), is that I can purchase things for work and for fun/the weekend. This cardigan is such a gorgeous color and I love the beading detail. This skirt is absolutely amazing, SO SO SO comfortable. I can not overemphasize how comfortable...

Spring Office Style

Outfits

Happy Monday! Today I am sharing an outfit with pieces from 10DollarMall.com. I love the idea of mixing up my typical work wear (pencil skirts and blouses) with bold patterns and bright colors! I am SO excited to be working with 10DollarMall again! Last year, I shared this, this and this outfit from 10DollarMall.com. I loved my pieces so much that I have been purchasing my own pieces, which I’ve styled here and here. What I absolutely love about 10DollarMall is that nothing is over $10 (hence the name)! It reminds me of F21 or Charlotte Russe, or for those of you who are local,...

Spring Into Capes

Outfits

I have always wanted to purchase a cape, so when the opportunity came along to review one from TBDress I was very excited! Unfortunately this one is not very well made, and the black lining looks very cheap up close. The fabric is pretty stretchy though, so at least it is comfy. Sometimes you get lucky with lower-priced items, this time around it did not pay off. Anyway, I absolutely LOVE this weather. I could soak it up all day except that I’m in the office from 8-5. I really want to purchase this tote in black and coral...

January Budget 2014

Fashion•Shopping

HELLO! It is already January 31st. Although it has felt like a long month (thanks to the lovely weather), it also flew by. Got back from Vegas late Tuesday night and have literally just been trying to catch up on life. Honestly, we didn’t really take many pictures, just some I captured on Instagram, so I probably won’t have much to share here! I didn’t even get a full picture in my gold sequin dress! FAIL. Epic fail. Oh well, my boyfriend and I had good time and that’s all that matters! Onto the January budget. I didn’t do...

Aupie Winter Picks!

Fashion•Shopping

I’ve shared an outfit post featuring an item from Aupie before, and today, I wanted to share some of the gorgeous pieces there right now. I AM in love with both of these sweaters. I have always wanted a mustard color sweater, and this cable knit is just too cute. I’m also loving the idea of a cozy, warm, army green winter parka. Negative temps or snow, I am always looking for functional and chic coats to keep me warm here in Minnesota. Also, this dress, can we talk about this dress?! I love the colors and pattern and...

Outfits via iPhone

Outfits

Well I have once again been a “horrible blogger.” I don’t really know what I mean by that except that I was hoping to be to a regular posting schedule this week, but I am sticking to my goals and starting next week! In the mean time, I thought I would share some iPhone snapshots of outfits AND a couple from Instagram that I’ve been wearing lately. Back in November I was busting out this floral blazer. It is okay to wear floral print in the winter right? (Boots available here) This was my New Year’s Eve look! I...

Floral Blazer

Fashion•Outfits

This past weekend my older sister, her fiance and my parents were in town to take care of some wedding tasks. The wedding is taking place in downtown Minneapolis in October, so they get to travel here to get everything planned. I LOVE it because that means I don’t have to travel and I still get to see my family more this year. Win, win WIN! Anyway, to run errands such as choosing the groom’s tuxedo, taking a look at the chapel and wedding photo opportunities (and grabbing a mid afternoon beer), I thought it would be a great...
