Bell Sleeves & Boho Vibes

Sep 19, 2016











Dress: Forever 21 / Hat: Nordstrom / Booties: Dolce Vita / Bag: Rebecca Minkoff / Jewlery: Bauble Bar / Nail Polish: Zoya 'Casey'

Another fabulous, pre-fall look that I can't wait to layer up come chilly temps. My love for boho style can be seen throughout all the seasons in my outfits, so when it comes time to layer up, I will add on a suede moto jacket, a fringe bag, and my brown suede knee-high boots that lace up the front for a boho-licious look. Another way I will style this is with a long sweater, lace-up flats and a hat! Bell sleeves are a huge trend this fall, and while the boho look is pretty much always in, this year I'll be channeling a chic, laid-back '70's prairie-rocker chic vibe.

Craving fall and all it's layering glory, I will be putting together a collage of the standard pieces I go to for my fall wardrobe, coming soon!

Transitioning a LBD for fall

Sep 9, 2016





Vest: Target / Booties: Dolce Vita / Dress: Old Navy / Necklace: Nordstrom / Earrings: Brighton /
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff / Ring: Bauble Bar

So I think my cat swiped my camera's sd card and is hoarding it wherever she hides her fortunes. Hence, the not so great quality of my pics since they were taken on the good 'ol iPhone. You know those artsy commercials from Apple with the cool music showing videos and photos taken on the iPhone that are legit amazing? Yeah I never got that memo. 

I digress. Still on a kick with this vest and booties from Target, since they are literally THE perfect summer to fall transition pieces. This summer was all about the Kardashian-inspired body-con look, and this black knit version is thick enough to be rolled right into some fall layered looks. Black, nude and olive are my favorite neutrals this season. Add on jewelry and accessories with gold details, and you've got a simple yet chic look perfect for anything. 

Keep the #nospendseptember challenge going!

September Style Challenge: Look 1!

Sep 7, 2016







Bodysuit: Express / Skirt: Kohl's Design Nation /  Vest: Target / Booties: Dolce Vita / Earrings: Banana Republic

I've decided to take the ultimate stylist's challenge and re-work my entire wardrobe for one month of new outfits, from the pieces I already own. That's right, no shopping for one month!  This can be a good thing both for your wallet and your creativity though. The end of every summer, my fashion choices get so stale because in this 'transitional' season, it's still hot as balls in Sept in The Land. 

My first outfit features an olive green sleeveless vest and neutral booties for a flirty, transitional look. I paired an older skirt with a bodysuit from earlier this summer, and some fun earrings to play off the skirt. 

It's so fun "shopping" your closet, and putting things together you never thought of before! I challenge you to come up with a fab outfit made from your closet's recycled pieces, and tag me on Insta so I can see your look! Hashtag #nospendseptember : )

Breezy Flowers

Dress: Free People / Vest: Gap / Booties: Dolce Vita / Bag & Sunnies: Nordstrom

What a Marilyn moment I was having with that wind! It blew my dress up every time we went to shoot a picture, so sometimes, it works out!
One of the things I love most of Northeast Ohio is all the unique shopping areas. I always love this particular one due to the amazing flowers and landscapes they have. My flower slip dress fit right in!
