Tickled Pink

What's a more perfect outfit to wear on your birthday then a pouffy pink skirt!? I'm celebrating 29 fabulous years today and there's nothing better than feeling like a princess.

This magenta skirt from H&M is just perfection! I'm obsessed with midi length skirts, especially paired with a crop top. Personally, I prefer a shrunken top versus the crop top, it covers just a bit more skin than a crop top and is much more accessible for everyday wear.

Cheers to the 90's

Even though it's 2014, I swear when I go into stores like Forever 21 and H&M, it's like I'm right back in my childhood. It's like the 90's have returned, denim skirts, acid wash everything, overalls, crop tops, mix and match separates and even keds, these are all things I grew up wearing. Now they've all come back in style again.

Anyways, if you haven't taken notice of it yourself then just head on over to your local mall and check out the 90's revival. But for many of us it's a little too much. So instead it's a better idea to just take a small element of the 90's trend and work it into your everyday look, to keep from seeming like you're trying to hard.

I vowed I would never tie another shirt or sweatshirt around my waist after about the 10th grade, but I guess I'm breaking that vow. Because I actually find if paired with a chic pair of faux leather shorts it can really work. And don't forget to add some sparkle and girly accessories to pull this look together and keep it from looking like you were just too lazy to hold your shirt.

Peplum + Leopard

I hope you all had a lovely Labor Day weekend! And hopefully you got in some shopping. There were definitely some great sales. Now that the last Summer holiday has passed, I'm officially ready to work some Fall trend into my Summer wardrobe. Although I'm not quite ready for Summer to be over I do have a few Fall trends I can't help but dive right into. One that is sure to be a hit is the leopard trend. We saw lots of it all Summer and it seems it'll be even hotter this Fall. And my favorite way to rock this look is, shoes! A pair of leopard print shoes can give a simple look some interest.
For a casual afternoon of shopping with my girls, I paired my leo shoes with my favorite boyfriend fit shorts. A little FYI, it took me all Summer to find the perfect pair of BF shorts. If you're still expecting Summer temps and are looking for a pair, try Aeropostale. I know, it's teen store, but for those of us on the petite side the sizing is a much better fit and with all the great sales they have you're bound to snag a pair for a ridiculously good price.

WIW: Summer Stripes

I'm assuming that by now, you all may have noticed my love of prints, all prints from florals to seahorses. I've rocked them all this Summer, but I feel like there is one print that stands the test of time. Stripes. They're just classic. And all Summer long when I don't know what to wear I just go right to my striped tee and find some inspiration. Pair it with shorts, jeans, skirt, or layered with a dress, it all works. You really can't go wrong with a striped tee, I guess that's probably why I own just about every kind of striped top, long sleeve, short sleeve, tank, peplum, the list goes on.

Today's outfit stemmed from the fact that I literally had no idea what I wanted to wear, and so I went straight for the stripes and kept the look simple. But even simple can be fun. I decided to change it up a bit glam up my typical casual Summer look by adding some fabulous metallic platforms.

Now, when I ordered these shoes I wasn't quite sure if I could rock them because they were a little naughty to me. But I've become obsessed with them. Worn casually they're not as naughty as I thought.

WIW: Studded Boho

What's more California girl then a Summer Boho look? I went through several years where I literally lived in Boho looks and imitated everything Nicole Richie, Rachel Zoe, and the Olsen twins wore. Nowadays I've put away lots of my flowy boho attire and opted for more structured pieces. I guess having spent the last several years popping out babies, and living in loose clothing, I'm embracing this time in my life where I can get back into more structured and tailored clothing. But every once in awhile I still like to bring back a little Boho, especially when trying to beat this Summer heat.

WIW: Day to Night Collab with Walking In Memphis In High Heels

Today, I have the amazing opportunity to collaborate with the beautiful and sweet Laura from Walking in Memphis in High Heels. We're bringing to you how to style a simple black skater skirt for both day and night.
A black skater skirt is a staple piece. It literally goes with everything. I know I get so much wear out of mine both during the day and night. Which is why I'm so glad Laura and I get to show you two different ways to wear this versatile piece. Laura will be sharing with you her daytime look while I have the pleasure of sharing with you all a more dressed up night time look.

Outfit Details:

FYI, I'd been dying for a pair of Torrid's Valentino inspired Rockstud pump look-a-likes, but they didn't come in sizes smaller then 7's. But I found my dupes on eBay for cheap. Check them out above.

And make sure you head over to Walking in Memphis in High Heels to get all the details on Laura's great casual skater skirt look.

Hope you all enjoyed our Day to Night looks.

WIW: Fourth of July + Weekend Recap

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and enjoyed your long weekend off. We definitely enjoyed all the festivities, which is why I didn't blog the last half of the week. But I'm back and down to business. First off, Congratulations to Shuly B! She's the lucky lady who'll be receiving the gorgeous floral bangle from Lotus Blossom Design. I hope you enjoy styling your bangle. And thank you to all who entered! Now on to what I wore for this red, white and blue holiday. Anchors and stripes seemed fitting for the day.
