Carrie Bradshaw

My Carrie Bradshaw Top 10

Wednesday, March 25, 2015

We've all raved over and even related to probably everything that happened on Sex and the City. We cried and laughed together with Carrie. So today to celebrate Sarah Jessica Parker's 50th birthday I decided to put together my top 10 favorite Carrie outfits. I know! How can you do such a thing? Believe me, it wasn't that easy.

Sarah is basically known for her role on SATC. Not only for playing Carrie Bradshaw but also for all the fashion and style that went with the role. Carrie's style was daring. I simply loved how she didn't care if she was just walking down the street she always seemed to look great in the most effortless way.

Rocking mink coats, or even just a simple tank top she always seemed to make it work and make everything look amazingly stylish. Mixing and matching different pieces made the most interesting and unique outfits. Her style was simply unpredictable, you never knew what she would wear next.

Here are a few of my favorite looks through out the series. I could have so many more but then this would be a super long post that would seem to have no end.

Hope you enjoy! Let me know what are some of your favorite outfits.

What's better than Spring on a Friday?

Friday, March 20, 2015

It's finally spring! Living in Chicago makes you really look forward to warmer weather because of what seems to be an endless winter. I can't wait to reorganize my closet and go shopping! Dresses, florals, sandals, etc, etc, etc. Ah! The excitement begins!

For today's OOTD I wanted something simple. Basically something to look great and relaxed to make you feel great on a Friday. I wanted to work with denim today so I played around with both white and blue denim. I wanted more light in the outfit so that's why I wanted to use the white denim jeans. I didn't want it to be too dark. I always have to add something black to my outfits, lol! In this case I added this sleeveless crop top because I wanted something a bit more bold when it was time to take off the denim jacket.

I know it's pretty cliche to use pastels during spring but I felt that with this outfit it would make the color even stand out more. I loved the metallic lavender heels. They add the perfect amount of shine to the outfit and make a great statement piece. Add the sunglasses and you're ready to go. A perfect outfit for the first Friday of Spring!

Let me know you're thoughts on the outfit! I love you hear from you!

Spring 2015...

We're coming back!

Alexander Wang

Another Comeback

Thursday, October 16, 2014

I have missed you and this baby for so long. Since I've moved back to Chicago everything has been a little bit more hectic. I must say I will take advantage of this time that I have right now and share with you what I love to do.

I decided to go for a casually-chic outfit today. Something that you can throw on any day of the week and feel comfortable and fabulous in. Obviously something to go perfectly with this amazing fall season.

I would say that the statement piece in this outfit would definitely be the cable knit crop sweater. I chose this wine color because I LOVE it! I love wine on everything. I feel like it's a great color for fall and it definitely looks amazing on anyone. Threw on some black leggings and some pointed toe booties. I'm still not over my obsession with ankle boots.

As far as accessories go I wanted to keep that at a minimum, as I always do. A couple of gold rings to add some shimmer and shine to the outfit. Of course a hat! I think hats like this one are great for fall, they keep you a bit warm and make you look great and more interesting and add a little something extra to your outfit.

What are your thoughts on this outfit? Where would you wear this to? I would love to hear from you! See you on the next post!

Spring time freshness

Thursday, May 22, 2014

It's Thursday everyone! One more day until it gets good. This spring weather is finally kicking in here in Chicago. I took a walk/run down the lakefront a few days ago and couldn't help but think shorts all the time! Since I don't usually make outfits with shorts I thought this would be the beginning of a new and amazing friendship.

A simple white top with no sleeves because we want to take in all that beautiful weather we are having. I wanted something that would pop so I chose these amazing J.Crew shorts. They are full of color and simply amazing. Cool colors for a warm spring afternoon. I added neutral accents because I didn't want to draw attention away from the shorts because that is the statement piece today. The sandals are great! I love how they have wide straps that are a nude and white combo.

This is simply a fresh outfit for this spring season. What are your thoughts on this outfit? Leave your comments! :)
