Outfit of the day : Neon Loving

<a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/12171755/?claim=cnb6ptew369">Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a>

 A few months ago,  I found this amazing neon coral dress, in a neoprene like fabric, on one of my many shopping trips to Forever 21. I had it in my closet for a while,  because even though I loved it, I had lightened may hair, and some of the pieces I had looked a little off, with my new Rose Gold Hair color. So against all odds I decided to do this OOTD (outfit of the day) and I love the Finished product.



For this look I decided to pair it with one of my favorite oversize denim jackets, also from  Forever 21. It gives the outfit a little texture, plus I love to wear layers with dresses ! It's a cool way to dress them down, without the outfit looking too simple.

 

To finish off the look, I added a pair of wedge sneakers, with leopard print details,also from Forever 21,  my beloved Céline sunnies, and heart shaped gold hoop earrings. 

Like we always say in our blog, accessorizing the right way will take your outfits to the next level. Always remember to look for statement pieces or pieces that speak for themselves, and represent your style. This summer will be all about bold colors and metallic, so I think its time to get into the groove and start rocking this trend, even if you live where it is still 35 degrees.

until next time!

Monday Mix: I dream of Friday

It's Monday again, but there is no better motivation to get through than thinking about what your going to wear for Friday after work happy hour. And if you want to start the week with energy, why don't you rock your Friday outfit today. We wanted to start this week with color, so we created this blazer and skirt combination. Who says you have to be all matcy- matchy  to look professional? Office attire doesn't,have to be boring.  Digital prints are super trendy right now and they are a great option for work wear. Pair them with a solid color blazer and a white Cami or basic blouse, to play down the eclectic print, without overpowering the outfit.  For a final touch add some metallic accessories, preferably in gold tones  and take your work wear to the next level.

Monday Mix : beach wedding edition

It's all about the white and blue florals. The monochrome print allows you to look fresh and elegant. Add some pops of colors with vintage inspired accessories and a bold lip. Break the rules and get a neon mani pedi.  To tie everything together pull your hair up, in a braided bun, or a sleek ballerina bun, it will look great even when humidity attacks and tries to sabotage the evening.

Monday Mix : florals, leather & Rock-and-roll

Mix a flower with Leatherette black leggings and a ripped oversized muscle tank, for a Rocker chic look. Throw in classic aviator sunglasses, bow detail ballerinas and and a neon statement necklace, to make your outfit look girlie and ¨springy¨

Weekly Finds : If the shoe Fits..

When you Large and/or wide feet, finding cool trendy shoes in your size is a sad unpredictable journey. Sample sizes not only exist in clothing, Shoes are also made with specific measurements. This is why its so hard to find a Size 10 that really fits like a 10, not like a 9.5. As absurd as it sounds there are girls out in the world that feel like its impossible to find girlie and cute shoes in large sizes, and end up wearing sneakers and old lady shoes everywhere . But not to worry, the wait for cool shoes in larger sizes has come to an end. Today, Many brands and online retailers have started to offer a wider range of stylish options in larger sizes. So inspired by my own life long quest for cool shoes in a size 10 / 10.5, we decided to dedicate our weekly finds to Footwear.

We went to one of my favorite retailers Torrid, they carry shoes from size eight to a size twelve, and most of their styles come in wide or medium with. The best part of Torrid is that they carry very cute product, that fits comfortably. We could not decide on only four to show you so, we decided to post our favorites from their spring collection.

Sneakers

Studded High-Top Sneaker

Leopard Slip-on Sneaker

These two styles are perfect for casual spring outfits. The all-white studded High-tops are great to pair with slinky flower print skater dress or with what we have named the LTJ (Leggings, T-shirt, and Jacket) combination. The Leopard print sip-ons give a cool pop to any outfit. I love to wear mine with a great pair of harem pants, its the perfect way to pull together an mix-match outfit.

Booties

Cutout Buckle Booties

Suede Buckle Booties

Stacked Heel Bootie

Stacked Heel Bootie

Our obsession with this of type bootie has been going on since Fall. You can be comfy and stylish at the same time, with any of these styles, without compromising the protection of your feet against the cold temperatures. Plus they are awesome transitional pieces to wear between seasons.

 Sandals

Buckle Leather Sandal

Strappy Espadrille Wedge Sandals

Weather you like them strappy, with a platform, with a sling back, with a small heel, or with buckles, these styles are a must have for the Spring/Summer season.

Torrid is only one of many retailers that offer a broader size selection. Brands like, Steve Madden, Top Shop, Jeffrey Campbell, Michael Kors and Aldo, are offering super cool product up to size 12. There are many more, so we suggest you search online and do not be afraid to ask about the items you see online and like.

Monday Mix

Mix prints and metallic for a fresh spring look. Stripes and florals are two of our favorite prints to mix. If you fin it too difficult to color coordinate, two prints,  just focus on the accent colors. In this example we use yellow to tie everything in. When wearing a horizontal stripe, always look for pieces that accentuate the waist, this will pull in the focus to the smallest part of your body, and away from your problem areas. To add a little more spunk to the outfit, slap on some bright pink matte lip and royal blue nails. The bright matte lip gives you a fresh and clean pop, and the royal blue Nails are a very big trend for the hotter seasons. Last but not least, accessorize, accessorize, accessorize. The right accessories can make or break an outfit. For this example we chose retro inspired yellow gold bangles, earrings, watch and a pair of semi round sunnies.

We hope you have a blast trying and hunting for the perfect pieces to pull off this look. You know we always encourage you to have fun in the process. After all, fashion is supposed to be fun, even if you have lived your whole life thinking it is not.

Weekly Finds : Transition to Spring

Hello Beautiful Beast!!
This week we where feeling easy and breezy, so we decided to do this Week´s Finds on Transitional pieces, for spring. For this time of the year the easiest way to start walking away from the winter blues is to incorporate color into your wardrobe. You should also look for fun silhouettes that you can wear with layering pieces for what is left of winter and rock later when the cold is gone. So we went to one of our forever favorite go to places Old Navy, and found super cute and affordable Spring time dresses and layering pieces for you to see.

These are our picks for this week:

Lime Maxi Dress

This maxi dress is a great piece to transition from Spring to summer time, because of its color. Lime yellow is still very on trend this season and it looks awesome with an edgy black leather jacket or a basic denim Jacket.

Shirt Dress
             

Combining a Basic piece like a button down shirt dress, with a Printed layering piece, is the best way to bring a little spunk to a very basic piece. This military inspired jacket is also a must have piece for spring, it brings structure to the outfit, without it looking too serious.

Fit and Flare Dress

Fit and Flare dresses are one of our top 5 favorite pieces EVER. This silhouette hides the most common problem areas and accentuates the waist, making you look more proportioned. 

Chambray Shirt Dress

Chambray is here to stay and everyone should have at least one Chambray piece in their closets. We loved this shirt dress because of it´s versatility, for the transitional days, where its not hot but its not freezing cold. You can add a pair of leggings under it and a leather jacket for the colder days and wear it with sandals and an orange lip for the warmer days.

So now its time for you to get started on your transitional wardrobe makeover. Always remember to try on things, and look for shapes that are flattering to your body type. We always encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, by adding pieces that you would´t normally wear. Weather it is wearing a bright lip color or a funky high heel, Fashion is supposed to be FUN not torture.

Stay tuned for more posts this week.

Until next time
