Travel day - vacation

Travel day



Beach tunic / Charlotte Russe shoes / J.Crew tote / Stella & Dot steel necklace / Banana Republic stud earrings / Forever 21 

Trying to figure out what to wear while sitting in the car for 4+ hours and still look cute on our way to Cape Cod AND be ready to jump right in to vaca mode!  I figure a bright comfy dress with some fun jewelry, wedges and a fedora to cover my wind blown hair is the perfect combo.  Counting down the days.....

What would you wear for traveling to/from your beach trip?

Hamptons Style

Hamptons Style



LOFT petite top / Elizabeth and James / LOFT skirt / Charlotte Russe vegan sandals / MICHAEL Michael Kors real leather handbag / MICHAEL Michael Kors chronograph watch / Betsey Johnson pearl jewelry

I love these Betsy Johnson earrings, they are so fun, yet classy.  This whole outfit makes me think of The Hamptons.  I can totally see someone walking around West Hampton, doing brunch, then head to a croquet tournament in this Spring-like outfit.... ahhhh I miss the Hamptons!  Back to real life.... you can wear this skirt to work with "work appropriate" heels, or take off the blazer and wear it on the weekend.

LOFT Striped Flare Dress

LOFT Striped Flare Dress



LOFT dress / ASOS flat soled shoes / Steve Madden wedge / Enzo Angiolini patent shoes / Lacoste handbag / Oasis handbag, $11 / Kate Spade two tone jewelry / Forever 21 square bracelet / Kate Spade hand crafted jewelry / C. Wonder yellow gold jewelry

Love this LOFT Striped Flare Dress.  You can wear it for a wedding or you can dress it down for lunch.  I chose supercute wedges or loving those tassel sandals as your lunch option, depending if your running errands before/after.  I kept the jewelry dressy and bright for a wedding option, and more simple for the lunch option.  This past week, LOFT dresses were 40% off, so I'm going to wait until they have that sale again or similar, and def get this dress!  You can totally dress this down even more with a light chambray shirt tied up, or dress this up even more with fun pearl bunched necklace!  There's so many options with this dress!

Mens: Can't be more Spring!

Mens: Can't be more Spring!



Alfani black top / BKE Derek Jean / Cole Haan Air Colton Winter Chukka / MARC BY MARC JACOBS 72mm Shield Sunglasses / Citizen Watch, Men's Two Tone Stainless Steel Bracelet 38mm Bk2284-54h

Spring is a perfect time for guys to wear lighter materials and lighter colors.  This light blue and gray button down is perfect with a dark color of jeans.  Still loving the chukka boots, or you can also wear with gray driving loafers.  A hot pair of shades is all you need to make an outfit look put together.

Can't be more Spring!

Can't be more spring!



LOFT camisole top / H&M h m, $39 / LOFT ankle length pants / Chinese Laundry metallic shoes / Oasis metallic handbag, $11 / Kate Spade post earrings / Forever 21 square bangle

After a much needed hiatus.... I'm back b*tches!  Looking forward to posting some awesome Spring pieces I have found.  Lots of bright color, structured pieces and items that def make a statement!  
This Spring, don't be afraid to rock a white blazer.  I would wear this to dinner mostly.  Simple reason being: out at a bar. drinks flowing. spilling. dancing. more spilling. you get the point.  Sit down and sip your cocktail and not be afraid of the drunkard next to you will make a smooth move past you and stain that "used to be all white" blazer.  Dinner item for sure!  Loving this coral lace top from The Loft.  Change the look with a different colored tank top underneath. Dress it down with a chambray top over it.

Stripes and Red Lips

Stripes and Red Lips



J.Crew top / Sweater / H&M skinny jeans, $15 / n.d.c. n d c / Steve Madden steve madden eyewear / MAC Cosmetics lipstick

I have a few shirts in this mustard color and I was trying to think of new things to pair them with.  Stripes came to mind, then I automatically thought of a bright red lip.  Everything else just fell into place.  I'm liking minimal makeup with a bright red lip these days.  Not sure how much longer the red lip will be trending so I'm wearing it every chance I get.

H&M Sweatshirt- 2 ways



H&M sweatshirt, $30 / GAP slim pants / H&M , $30 / Chinese Laundry over the knee boots / Soft Style / Sabina handbag / Lacoste handbag / Juicy Couture bracelet watch / Stella & Dot stud earrings / Silver jewelry

 This H&M sweatshirt looks so comfy and for $30 I'm sold, love the loose fit, you can style the outfit on the left with a button down underneath, and the one on the right with a long white tank top.  With Spring ahead, I chose bright bags to brighten up the outfits.  Wear the left outfit for lunch with friends, and the right for running errands, or shopping.

Soccer Mom= Stylish Mom

Soccer Mom= Stylish Mom



J.Crew j crew t shirt / Zara parka jacket / GAP petite boyfriend jeans / Jolt flat shoes / Tory Burch / Adia Kibur vintage jewelry / J.Crew j crew belt

Having kids and running from soccer game to Karate is no excuse for leaving the house in sweats and the T-shirt you slept in the night before.  Yes, you can certainly go to Lululemon and find a cute workout outfit and wear that... but I like to give you the option to make it look like you put a little effort into it.  This supercute parka from Zara will be your go-to this Spring season, pair it with some boyfriend jeans and fun flats and some jewels and poof! automatically own it!  This fun Tory Burch purse isn't a necessity, but if you have the extra cash, it could become a fun staple item in your wardrobe.

Keepin it Classy.....

Keepin it Classy.....



Tommy Hilfiger long sleeve dress / Zara leather pumps / H&M leather shoulder bag, $23 / Stella & Dot 

This week will be full of meetings so I plan on keeping things simple and dressy.  This dress would be perfect to wear.  I like that it has the tie at the waist to give you some shape and I trend'd it up with some fun heels.

Coffee or Tea?

Coffee or Tea?



Merona® Women's Favorite Oxford Shirt - Assorted Colors / LOFT long pencil skirt / Sheer hosiery / Forever 21 platform boots / Zara shopping bag / Kate Spade clip on earrings / LOFT colorful scarve

Well... you win some you lose some... I wore this outfit on Friday, and all day, I sort of felt like a flight attendant.  Then to confirm, I posted my pic on Instagram and Facebook, and someone commented, "coffee, tea, or me?  So, even someone else thought I should be serving coffee, or tea on a 747 in this outfitLOL. I think I'll keep the plain white button down to be used as a layer.  Maybe switch it out with a white peplum top.
Ah-well..........

Boucle and Chambray

Boucle and Chambray



Aéropostale woven shirt / Forever 21 / H&M leather pumps, $47 / Dorothy Perkins leopard bag / Givenchy faux pearl necklace

This boucle skirt is from Forever21, for $9.99.... I couldn't believe it when I saw the price... then I found this super cute leopard purse.  Trend it up with some chambray, add some bright red nails and some pearls and you are ready for your workday. This would look cute with a trench coat and rain boots for your commute too.

RACHEL Rachel Roy "Zip Top Tote"

RACHEL Rachel Roy "Zip Top Tote"



Button down shirt / J.Crew slim fit shirt / LOFT pencil skirt / GAP tall jeans / Dorothy Perkins high heels / Steve Madden ballet flat / Tote bag / Forever 21 square bracelet / Kendra Scott / Metal jewelry

Totes are hot this season, and when I saw the RACHEL Rachel Roy "Totally Transparent Zip Top Tote" in the latest issue of InStyle, (available at Macy's.com with free shipping, other select handbags are on Sale 40% off) I just had to style it.  2 ideas that came to mind right away, one for work and one for weekend wear.  With Spring around the corner, I chose a bright pink pencil skirt, and some floral heels.  But, since it's the weekend and snow is everywhere, I kept it real and chose a turtleneck and boyfriend jeans.  Keepin it simple, yet stylish with emerald Kendra Scott earrings. 
How else would you style this hot Tote??

Men's FitFashLife Spring Wishlist

Men's FitFashLife Spring Wishlist



Loafer / men's big & tall: heritage collection | Banana Republic / men's big & tall: heritage collection | Banana Republic / 'the Greatest Pants In The Universe' Straight Leg Chinos (Online... / Volcom Cuesta Jacket / Nordstrom Cotton & Cashmere Sweater Delft X-Large / Alfani BLACK Shirt, Caymen Check Woven Shirt - Mens Casual Shirts -... / Tommy Hilfiger Shirt, Long Sleeve Michael Shirt - Mens Casual Shirts -...

As soon as that tax check comes in.... we will be going shopping.... here is what I found so far for hubby for spring... I tend to spend more on his clothes because he keeps everything forever, so his cost per wear is a lot less than mine.  I'm ok with spending $80 or more for a shirt/sweater for him... because I know he will continue to wear it for 10 years, until I tell him it's dunzo.  These loafers look super comfy and he def needs a pair!  I went with a little bit brighter colors for spring... since he normally wears navy, charcoal and black all the time.  Trying to branch him out!  
Any items you planning on getting for your man??  Do tell.....

LOFT baby doll top / J.Crew slim shirt / Top / Miss Selfridge peplum blouse / Forever 21 , $39 / Worthington / Jessica Simpson high heel pumps / Sam Edelman sling back shoes / Forever 21 / Forever 21 jewelry

Can't wait for the warmer weather..... as Spring approaches I'm loving bright jewel tones.  I'm starting to wear them now, and just wearing darker accessories, darker layers and winter shoes.  Then as it gets warmer (the groundhog did NOT see his shadow, YAY for warmer weather coming), I start peeling off the layers, wearing brighter accessories and peeptoe shoes! Stay tuned for the Men's FitFashLife's Wishlist up next!

First Day of Work

First Day of Work



Sofie vneck sweater / Sheer shirt / GAP tall pants / H&M pointy-toe pumps, $47 / Zippered tote bag / Marc by Marc Jacobs marc jacobs jewelry / Givenchy faux pearl necklace / Talbots 

This is what I wore today to my first day of work....  I received an awesome necklace for my birthday, but decided to hold off on wearing it for my first day since it is leopard print! hehe  BUT, you will be seeing it soon because I'm dying to wear it! I decided to go with pearls, since they are classy and a little more professional.  But, showing up to work, everyone was dressed sort of different.  My boss was in a suit, I wore this, my coworker wore a pencil skirt and peplum top, another manager wore server-type black shoes, nylons, black skirt and messy black shirt and another person wore a sweater dress.... So, I'm still trying to figure this place out.  Hoping we get to participate in  casual Friday's, fingers crossed.  Excited for tomorrow!
Hope everyone has a great week!

Birthday suit......

Birthday suit......



Sequin top / Topshop tall jacket / Old Navy / ASOS shoes / Black clutch / Marc by Marc Jacobs golden watch / Wet Seal rhinestone jewelry / Drop earrings

Last night I had family and friends meets us for dinner and drinks for my birthday.  It was such a good time and was much needed after a stressful week at work.  It was also my last week working there.  Since I was the birthday girl, I wanted to be on the dressier sided.  I originally had cobalt blue crop pants, but it just didn't feel right.  So, I chose my "never fail" red skinnies and sequin top and threw on my casual black blazer.  An arm party and your favorite watch and you are ready for a night out!  
Monday I start my new job.... stay tuned for what I wore this week!

Girls Dinner

Girls Dinner



Pocket shirt / Boyfriend jacket / Tokyo Fashion tweed shorts / Sheer hosiery / Fergalicious boots / A|X Armani Exchange hobo shoulder bag / Stella & Dot bracelets bangle / Stella & Dot pendant jewelry

In desperate need of a girls dinner night, so I threw this outfit together in hopes it will be happening soon!  The shorts over tights is a funky look, that only some have the balls to pull off.  Since a blazer is my thing, I added it to lighten up the color scheme and add some structure to the loose fitting blouse.  Added some funky bangles and a warm pendant with smoky brown eyes, this makes it more playful.  Hair in a bun makes it look so put together, beachy loose waves would be hot too.
