Nautical Necessity

Thursday, June 05, 2014

Following today's Summer Essentials post, I put together this outfit that incorporates some of the pieces that I had on my list.

I've always like the sailor outfits and the whole nautical theme so today I decided that I would put together and outfit based on this. First of all, let me talk about the hot pants shorts! They give off a wet shiny look that I just love. A simple white and blue striped lose shirt to give off a more relaxed look. I added some nude sandals because I didn't want to add too much blue. I wanted that to give some light to the outfit.

I kept the accessories simple as well. A nude pouch like bag with some tassels. To finish off the nautical theme I added this golden shell necklace which I thought was adorable.

I love the nautical style and theme. I feel like it's something that is going to be timeless. What are your thoughts on the nautical style? Can't wait to read your comments!

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.

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.

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.
