Saturday Night Divas

Saturday, September 21, 2013

Here we are, on a Saturday after noon trying to figure out what to wear. At least I hope that were you are it's not raining. I'm sick of the rain, it made me literally sick. Well, enough about me.

I haven't done anything with denim in a while so I thought I would put this together. I love how denim and black go together and well what's better than black leather. Add some chunky black heels and you're ready to go.

To bring some more color into the outfit we added this red clutch that simply looks amazing with this look.

Don't be afraid of putting different textures and colors together, sometime you might be surprised at what you can do with them.

Galloping Horses

Friday, September 20, 2013

First of all I'm sorry for not posting as often as I used to, I was seriously sick these past few days, but now I feel somewhat better so this is why I'm posting again.

I was browsing around and found this great dress with and amazing horse print, because who doesn't like horses on their clothes. I really like the long sleeves and the fact that it's not too short. This is something that I would wear without a doubt.

We'll add simple accessories like rings because the print on the dress is already so busy. Add some great ankle boots and a bag and you're good to go.

Work everything you got on a Friday night and start off your weekend the best way possible!

Ralph Lauren: Spring 2014 RTW

Wednesday, September 18, 2013

Since I posted something about Fashion Week a couple of days back, I felt like I wanted to post another favorite from the runway.

Todays favorite is...Ralph Lauren.

What can I say about this ready to wear for Spring 2014! I just adore everything about it. I love the colors (no surprise there). Love the shape, the details, the elegance, I just simply loved everything. I wish I could have everything that was on that runway in my closet, right now!

I'll leave you with a couple of pictures of the pieces that I loved the most.

What's your favorite piece?

Fall Trend

Tuesday, September 17, 2013

This coming fall, which is just around the corner be on the lookout for this great fashion trend, beanies. They look great and they keep you warm.

Keep a lot of them in your drawers in all your favorite colors so you can add them to your outfit. They make it look a bit more relaxed and somewhat more street/urban.

Have fun with them and don't be afraid to use them!

Stripes are high

Tuesday, September 17, 2013

And I'm back! Took a bit of a break but I couldn't stand that I hadn't posted anything in a couple of days.

Todays outfit is very simple. It's a black and white look. It's basically something that I wore this weekend on a night out to the bar with friends. It's comfortable and looks great. The knee high boots are something that I really love about this outfit. I feel like they give a bit more of an edgy look.

Last just add a gold chunky necklace to help bring the outfit all together.

It's outfits like these that I simply love and well stripes never seem to be out of style.

Sunny Side Up

Friday, September 13, 2013

If you haven't noticed, I'm a big fan of black. As much as a try to not add black into an outfit, I just can't. It's just hard for me I guess since I really love how black goes with everything and makes everything look great.

Today I based this outfit on this yellow jumper that I thought was beautiful. The thing that I loved about it was the fact that collar is a leather collar, seems to me that it adds a bit more of class to it, it's not that casual.

By adding all these black leather shoes and purse it makes the collar stand out even better. Not only that but it makes the yellow jumper become the center piece of the outfit.

This is great for a night out to a bar on a Friday night, a perfect way to end the week and let the weekend start.

8 Things you must have

Thursday, September 12, 2013

Today I thought it would be important to share with you what I believe are necessities in your closet.

First we have a tshirt, just because it's so basic and you'll always have a use for it. You also need to have your perfect pair of jeans that you can throw on at any moment.

One thing that is basically in everyone's closet or atleast should be is, the black dress. You never know when you might have a cocktail party and this little dress can definitely help.

A black blazer to add a little something extra to any look. Some black tights or panty hoes that could go with any dress or skirt on those cooler days.

Shoe wise we have two. Some nude heels are a must just because nude goes with everything and add a little more height when the time is needed. Second would be some black flats for those days when you want to look nice but not have to wear any heels.

Last is a scard. Its simply used to add color to an outfit that looks too dull.

Hope these things helped. I believe these are a big help and always come in handy.

Bloody Thursday

Thursday, September 12, 2013

So we're almost there, it's almost Friday! We can finally look forward to what we're going to do on the weekend.

This outfit is something that I wear very often. It's both comfortable and stylish.This laid back look will definitely make you look fabulous. The contrast from the black jeans and the red jacket make a bold statement and make the red of the jacket stand out .

We try to make this a bit more casual by adding this t-shirt. Not only does it look great but I believe it really brings this outfit together. We added some ankle booties that have some texture and some little extras, like the chain, to add a bit more edge to the look. Finishing this outfit off are these golden rings, they'll make a subtle statement and definitely be an eye catcher.

I really love outfits like these because they are simple but they make you look great.

Banana Republic

Out West

Wednesday, September 11, 2013

Ever get the mood to wear cowboy boots? I love cowboy boots. To me they make an out fit look somewhat outback and well obviously more country and relaxed.

Adding a skirt to this outfit will make it look more feminine and it will also make the boots stand out a lot more. Not only that but the navy blue will make the boots stand out more because that's what I would want people to notice in this outfit.

We add a sleeveless blouse to make the look a bit more fresh and we add a colorful necklace just to add more color.

This is an outfit that you can wear any day of the week. It's simple, fashionable, relaxed and colorful.

chrome

Closet Find

Tuesday, September 10, 2013

Todays closet find is not something that will be hard to find on an outfit! These chrome shoes are AMAZING! I saw them and couldn't keep my eyes off.

I just fell in love with the color, it's just so dramatic. It can definitely be the key piece in an outfit and it can probably even second as an accessory. Since it's such a dramatic piece you can put it together with a simple outfit and have the shoes stand out. The pointy toe just adds a little more edge to the shoe which makes it that much better.

Sweater Weather

Tuesday, September 10, 2013

If there is something in my closet that I don't have enough of...that would be sweaters. I used to hate them when I was younger but now I've grown to love them and I wish I had more!

Today we have a simple outfit that we base off of a gray long sleeve sweater. Since the weather is beginning to get a bit colder where I am at, I've started to make outfits that consist of sweaters, scarves, boots, etc. So we added some simple black leggings.

Second we added a kind of burgundy scarf that also has some turquoise and that brings a little bit more color to this outfit. To make the burgundy stand out we add some brown boots that are also fabulous. Since we already have the scarf we just add a bangle to have a simple yet trendy accessory.

Fresh Finds

Monday, September 09, 2013

Hey there Monday! This is the most dreaded day of the week but we have to get through it. So to keep it all together here is a simple and relaxing casual outfit that you can definitely rock.

Nothing says casual and comfortable like a pair of jeans. We are putting these together with a dark green sleeveless top, adding a navy blue sweater to be just a bit more cozy in case some cold weather gets to you(you never know).

Adding simple accessories bring out a lot in an outfit. The gold makes both the navy blue and the green stand out. Simply add some flats, in this case some nude colored ones because nude goes with everything!

I love simple outfits like this one just because you feel really comfortable in what you are wearing and you look great.

Mouring Summer

Saturday, September 07, 2013

For some unknown reason it's been raining like all week and too much rain can sometimes get a little depressing. So, I'm putting together an outfit that you can throw on a day with a slight breeze in the air.

I've also been wanting to buy a new coat and I thought that this one was amazing, I love how it wraps right around the waist. I decided to make the outfit an all black outfit (not talking about the New Zealand rugby team, which I love by the way!) because everything looks more elegant in black.

Everything is black except for the scarf, wether you leave the coat open or closed you'll have some color that will definitely stand out from the outfit.

Closet Find

Friday, September 06, 2013

The time is coming when you need to take out the jackets and sweaters from the closet. So, for todays closet find we have this faux leather jacket.

I love the quilted print on it and the fact that it has a rounded collar. It's simple yet eye catching. It would definitely be a must in my closet.

This would bring together any outfit, not only that but it will always keep you warm and there is nothing bad about that!

Grungy

Friday, September 06, 2013

I've been gone for almost a week now! So sorry! I had a couple of problems with the internet company that have now been fixed so, I am back!

I'm back and it would seem that we've also gone back in time with this outfit. Today we are going for something a bit more grunge, a bit more styled but still with that grunge essence.

We're adding some black skinny jeans to add a block of color to this outfit and to make the legs look slimmer. After we're adding an iconic red plaid shirt. You can't go wrong with this combination of colors, especially since the black jeans will make the red plaid really stand out.

Since fall is just around the corner we are adding some ankle boots. Also, if you haven't noticed...I'm obsessed with them. Finally finishing the outfit off with a simple black beanie in case the day is a bit cold, it's a perfect and simple way to keep warm and add a little something extra to the outfit.
