Wanted Wednesdays: Accessories

Hey guys!  So sorry this is coming late but this week has been CRAZY!  I originally was thinking about doing a beauty post every Wednesday, but I came across this idea and just loved it so much!  Hope you guys don't mind me switching it up a little bit :)

So i recently found out about the website WaNeLo.  Let me just say one thing about it: it is AH-MAY-ZING!  I love how you can browse things you like AND find out where to buy them.  So long to crazy google searches with no results.

Today when I was scrolling through, I found some of the cutest accessories and thought I'd share them with you.  Take a peek!

I love this anchor necklace!  Its simple but super cute and a great addition to any outfit!  Want to find out more about it?  Click HERE!

This necklace of leaves is also adorable!  Again, like the anchor necklace, its SOOOO simple but perfect for anything!  You can wear it with a pair of jeans a t-shirt for a day out with friends or even possibly with a nice dress for a dinner party.  Styling is all up to YOU!  Check out how to get it here!

These earrings are so gorgeous!  The turquoise color stands out against the silver and adds a pop of color to any outfit.  They are more of a statement piece, so I wouldn't go too crazy on the outfit colors.  You definitely want some neutrals and maybe a color that will go along with the turquoise.  Check out this link to find out more!

Last but not least, one of my favorite things.  iPHONE CASES!!!!  I love the simplicity of the black and white, but the intricate design.  Plus, how can you not love elephants? I mean look at it, its adorable!  Definitely gonna need to get one of these soon!!!!  Check out here for more!

Well, this was my edition of Wanted Wednesdays (kinda Thursday but who cares).  Let me know what you think, what some of your favorite accessories are, and if you make a WaNeLo account!

Street Style Mondays: The Army Coat

Hey guys!  So the week has just started and I thought we would kick things off with some street style!  I absolutely love looking at street style posts - getting to see everyone's different style and being able to draw inspiration from them is something I have always loved!

Recently, I have been totally obsessed with army coats.  I love the army green color and the slouchy loose fit.  It gives off a casual vibe that I think goes great with every outfit!

I recently saw this picture on my tumblr dashboard, and fell in love immediately!  I love the simplicity of the outfit and how the jacket adds to it in a good way - it doesn't make the outfit seem too overwhelmed.  Its casual and relaxed - perfect for a shopping trip in the city or a walk in the park.

Want to recreate this outfit?  Check out some of these great options!

Golden Globes 2013

Hey guys!

So the Golden Globes were last night and apart from all the incredible actresses and actors who won awards, my favorite part was definitely the red carpet! Getting to see all the incredible clothing everyone was wearing is always a favorite of mine! Plus, the GlamCam360 was pretty awesome! All else aside, here are some of my favorite looks from the Golden Globes.

Hayden Panettiere wore a gorgeous Roberto Cavalli mermaid style dress and it is one of my absolute favorites! She looked stunning and the dress fit her perfectly! I also loved how it accentuated her amazing body!

Kristen Wiig definitely surprised me when she stepped out in this dress.  I never thought the hilarious SNL star would be able to pull of something so sexy like this and look amazing!!  I still think of her as Penelope or Gilly!  The simple black Calvin Klein frock with a cutout fit her perfectly and is so beautiful!  I definitely wish I could steal this dress and keep it in my closet :)

Kate Hudson's Alexander McQueen dress is also another dress I wish I could steal.  The gold accents are to die for!  Kate wore the dress so effortlessly, wish simple hair and makeup, and definitely drew more attention to the dress.  The cutout, just like Kristen Wiig's dress, is so sexy and perfect for the dress.  While I know many critics will not agree with me, I have to give Kate Hudson an A+ and two thumbs up for her perfect fashion choice!

Lastly is Jessica Alba's Oscar de la Renta gown.  I love the style on her: the fitted top shows off her great body but the fuller skirt adds a little more shape.  And her jewelry is absolutely gorgeous!  However, as much as I love her dress, I personally am not a huge fan of her clutch.  It just reminds me too much of furry yarn people use to knit scarfs.  But besides that, everything about this look is perfect! The hair, the makeup, ah I just love it!

The night was definitely filled with many other amazing looks.  Which ones were your favorites?  Leave a comment below!

Welcome 2013!

Hey everyone,
Sorry for the lack of posts lately, everything has just gotten so busy!!!  I know this post is a little delayed, but better late than never, right?
As the new year has just rolled in, so have many great fashion trends.  I thought I'd share my latest obsession with you!  POLKA DOTS

Although this might not quite be a trend at the moment, I think its a definite closet staple that will never go out of style!  Denim shirts are one of my go-to pieces - they can be super casual or even make an outfit look a little more put together.  I recently purchased this polka dot patterned denim shirt from Gap.

I love the effortless look it can create by just pairing it with a pair of dark wash pants.  I personally love wearing it unbuttoned with a white or colored tank under :)  

I also love polka dot patterned pants!!! Paired with a solid colored shirt (you don't want the outfit to be TOO busy) is perfect!!  They can be casual or a little dressier for work occasions or going out.  Check out this pair:

The black and white combo makes it super easy to pair with a colored shirt.

What are your favorite ways for styling polka dots?  Leave a response in the comments below :)

Hello September!

"'Tis the last rose of summer,
Left blooming alone;
All her lovely companions
Are faded and gone." -Thomas Moore, The Last Rose of Summer, 1830 (source: gardendigest) 

While taking a break from school work (sadly, my school doesn't start three weeks into September like some), I stumbled across this quote.  The idea that September is the last we will have of summer is quite daunting, it is also a chance to start new; to start fresh and put the past behind you.  While you may feel like you are "left blooming alone" still hanging on to summer, look at it as a way to reinvent yourselves.  Don't let anything stop you this year.

Instead of doing an August favorites post, I thought a guide would be perfect since the fall season is coming up just around the corner.  Before we head into the colder months of fall, don't be afraid to rock some of those summer items you have.

Check out this outfit.  The dress is totally something you wear during the summer, but the leather jacket and black wedge booties completely transform it.  They add an edge to the outfit, and the darker colors speak more to fall.  The leather jacket is always looked at as more of a cold weather type item - it would be way to hot to wear it during the summer.  It's probably different than most peoples' styles, but there is no reason you shouldn't try it.  Quite frankly, I think its adorable!

Then again, it does get cold eventually ;(  So in that case, try an outfit like this.  Its cute, but warm and comfortable.  It doesn't look like you're trying to hard, but you still put effort into it.  The mustard yellow pants are SOO a fall color!  And the sweater is sure to keep you warm for those windy days!

Preparing for the FALL! by horseinthesky

So, as I must leave you now, I must say I am quite excited for fall.  Can't wait to get jump in piles of leaves and eat some pumpkin pie!

As always,

Back to School

Hey guys,
I just wanted to update you really fast.  Karlie has sadly left me alone to die and rot while she goes venturing off into unknown territories :(  As cool as that would seem, she actually has just gown away to school...so for the time being, it's just going to be me running this blog!

But back to the subject at hand....
It's that time of year again.  The time when we must switch out our summer clothes to prepare for the dark and cold months to come.  Haha, I'm just kidding guys (unless of course you live where the weather patterns change very drastically).  I know some people dread going back to school, but I kind of look forward to it.  Not the homework part of course.  I look at it as an opportunity to show off your personal style, unless you have a uniform.

Going back to personal style, don't be afraid to try something new.  Find out who you are through fashion and clothes.  Want to venture out of your comfort zone and try something edgy?  Go for it!  Better now than never.  Take this look for example.  The embellishments on the dress might be going out of the box for some, in which case you could pair it with oxfords and a tote bag.  However, the combat boots and black leather bag speak to the edginess everyone has inside of them.  Be daring!  Be bold!  It might change how you look at things in the future.

On the other hand, dresses period might be to far out of the box.  You know when you just have those days where you just want to wear sweats and a t-shirt, but you still don't because you want to look cute?  Try this outfit.  Leggings or yoga pants are a perfect alternative to sweats!  They are comfortable and cute!  Pair it with any oversized sweater you have - the tight fit of the leggings prevent the look from looking to slobbish.  Take any of your favorite accessories to dress it up a little and you're good to go!  You can even take a pair of moccasin slippers and it'll look super cute!!

Chill Days by horseinthesky

And finally, for those days where you just take something from your closet and throw it on.  Jeans are staples in everyone's closet (if you don't own a pair, I highly recommend you go out and buy some...like NOW!)  They go well with anything, and I'm serious when I say ANYTHING!  If you're feeling casual, go with a simple solid v-neck or t-shirt.  But in case there is ever a time when you want to impress a certain someone, try an outfit like this!  Wear a bandeau under this sheer top to show a little, but not too much.  Or just wear a simple cami  under if you feel more comfortable.  The dangling earrings will draw more attention to your face, which is always good!  The bangles are a nice accent, along with the bows on the flats.

So, whether your style is preppy, edgy, classy, or just whatever you feel like, go out of your comfort zone.  Don't be afraid to try something new...it might help you find you who are in the end!

Chill Days

Chill Days by horseinthesky

This is definitely an outfit I would wear on a daily basis.  Its casual and laid back, but the accessories help dress it up a little.  The leggings and sweater are simple, so they don't clash with the jewelry.  I have a pair of these moccasins, and I will tell you they are some of the best shoes I have ever bought.  They are absolutely amazing and soo soft and cozy.  I for sure can see myself wearing this once winter comes around.  All I need is this adorable peter pan colored J Crew sweater!  Let me know what your favorite casual outfits are in the comment section below!
