Overalls

 Who knew that overalls would make a come back! They were vastly popular in the 80s and 90s because of how comfortable there were and now they are back!
 Overalls can be a challenge to style because if not styled correctly, they can make you look like a little kid or a farmer. It's all about finding a balance and making them look as modern as possible. Not only can they be practical but very stylish as well.
 For my look today, I went a chic laid back look by pairing these corduroy overalls that I got from the thrift store with a basic tank top and dressed it up with accessories. To make the overalls a bit more feminine, I rolled up my pant legs and completed my look with wedges.    

Outfit Details:

Overalls: Old Navy via Thrift Store

Tank: Target

Purse: TJMaxx

Shoes: Zara

Necklace: Ross

Watch: Guess via Ross

Don't be afraid of trying out this style and remember you don''t have to break the bank for this trend. Check out your local thrift stores to find a pair and make the look your own:).

Christmas in July

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great weekend! Let me for start off by saying how much I love the Christmas holiday. I love the change in temperature and the good mood that everyone seems to be in. Everywhere you go, Christmas music is being played to help you get in the spirit. I just love the holidaysJ!!!  Now the reason why I bring up the holidays up is because it has to do with my outfit. Right after Christmas, Forever 21 was having a sale on all of their holiday apparels and that is where I got my reindeer cardigan from. I love how festive it looks and I couldn’t wait to wear it. This cardigan has been sitting in my closet for months now waiting to be worn. I wanted to do something exciting with but I couldn’t figure out what until I went to Charlotte Russe and spotted this stripped hi-low skirt that I got on clearance. I thought these two made the perfect pairing and it was wonderful way to be festive during the summer months:).

Outfit Details:

Cardigan: Forever 21

Tank: Target

Skirt: Charlotte Russe

Nails of the Week: Stars and Stripes

Hello loves,
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July. My friends and I got together to hangout at the beach to enjoy the day and each others company. It was a potluck style meet up so we had so much food and everything tasted so good. By the end of the day, my stomach was going to explode! 
To get in the spirit of the holiday, I decided to do my nails in the red, white and blue color scheme. I love how festive my nails look. This nail style was really easy to create and was right up my alley:).

Colors On My Nails:

Nicole by OPI: I Love You Cherry Much

OPI: Alpine Snow

Color Zone: Blue

Wet N Wild Fergie Collection: Hollywood Walk of Fame

In this post I am also including what what I wore to the beach. I really wanted to continue the festive theme to celebrate America's independence. Since I couldn't find an 4th of July themed shirt (because I decided at the last min to dress in theme:/), I decided to create one. I took a blue tank and pinned a patriotic bow to it and and paired it with my star shorts to create my own 4th of July outfit:).

Outfit Details:

Tank: Old Navy

Shorts: Target

Hat: Target (similar)

Sunnies: Carrera

I hope everyone had an awesome 4th of July! Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Monday everyone! We are officially in summer and I wanted to share with you a guest post from the wonderful FashInNY on accessories that she is loving for summer. Being an accessory lover myself, I’ve come to appreciate the extra pizazz that accessories add to an outfit. Check out her post belowJ.           

Summer is the time to shine- show off your tan, your arms, legs and...fabulous jewelry! I am a huge fan of gold for the Summer time and with so many great brands out there the possibilities are endless! It's no secret I have a knack for accessories and in my NYC apartment, they fill the dressers, bookshelves and any nook or cranny you can imagine. I organize and re-organize but for my ever growing collection, it's no use. As long as I can find what I need in my jewelry infested apartment, I am a happy gal! What do I love about accessories? They have the ability to change a blank canvas into something amazing, little tweaks can change an entire look. So what are my favorites? Take a peek into my closet for some accessory inspiration!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. This weekend was our neighborhood garage sale and even though not all the house in my neighborhood participated, it was till a great success. It felt good to get rid of stuff. One man's trash is another's man treasure:)!

Now on to the fashion post. I absolutely love cardigans! They are a must-have wardrobe essential. They come in so many shapes and styles and what love about them is that they can be worn year round. It can be paired with almost anything and will add that extra spice to your outfit. Cardigans are so versatile because you can wear them in the daytime for a more casual look or pair it with your work attire for a more sophisticated look. For today's look, I paired my orange and cream cascade open front cardigan with a sequin collar and studded heels for a daytime chic look. Hope you enjoy the look:)!

Camouflage

Happy Friday everyone!! I am so glad it's Friday even though I have a very busy weekend ahead of me. This weekend,we are hosting our first ever neighborhood garage sale and I am excited about de-cluttering my house:). In the meantime, here is my outfit post! The camouflage trend is popping up everywhere and you will see this print on jeans, shirts, boots and bags. Camouflage print is a different and stylish way to add spice to your outfit. Because of it color scheme, camouflage is one of the easiest and versatile prints to style. For a daring look, it can be paired with bold colors, lace, floral, graphic tee or a chambray shirt. If you don't want to be daring and want to go for a more subtle look, style it as a neutral. For today's look, I styled my camo shirt as a neutral piece and paired it with black jeans, a tan bag and tan boots. I wanted my shirt to stand out and to be the focal point of my outfit. Hope you enjoy the look:).
