Two-Tone Denim

Hey Babes! 

I have been on the hunt for a pair of two-tone jeans for over a month now! And I finally found a great pair at an amazing price. A lot of brands are charging over $300 for a pair like this, and I found these at American Eagle for $29.99!!! 

I love the uniqueness of these two-tone jeans, they give a classic look of a blouse and jeans a whole new spin! They're also high-waisted - always a plus when you want to make your legs look longer (for short ladies like me!) or when you want to rock a crop top with jeans without lookin' like you're straight out of 2002 :P 

For this look I decided to go chic, but these jeans would also look amazing in a more casual look. You could pair them with adidas and a vintage tee and a cardi and there you go, you would be ready for your day! Be on the lookout for this type of look from me soon! 

I knew I wanted to pair these jeans with a delicate blouse, so I chose this lovely ruffle tie-neck piece from Mango. Ruffles are IN IN IN right now, and the bigger the better, so if you want to amp up your look bring on the ruffles! 

To complete the look I paired my classic black leather jacket that I thrifted in London with my suede black heels from Via Spiga and a sleek two-tone bag from Macys. When in doubt, go classic! 

I have linked these items above and below as well as some similar styles!

Welcoming Winter

Hello loves!

Welcoming winter to Los Angeles today with a cozy, layered look. I get hot/cold very easily, so layers are the perfect way for me to bundle up for winter weather without getting over-heated once I'm in a warm place! I can shed off different pieces for a simpler look, and when it's time to brave the cold again I throw them back on!

One of my favorite aspects of the winter months are KNITS. I swear I have more sweaters and cardigans than I could possibly handle, but I love the feel and look of knitwear- plus it keeps you so warm and cozy! Today I decided to wear one of my favorite oversized sweaters from Free People. I am SO obsessed with this thing (and it was SO on sale at Bloomies) I got it in three colors! (cream, pale blue, and burgundy). Oversized sweaters can sometimes swallow you up, but if you style them with the right pieces it creates an ease and freshness to an outfit that I absolutely adore.

For this particular look I styled the sweater with one of my rib-knit, fitted skirts from Brandy Melville. I decided to pair it with this skirt for a number of reasons:

1. I wanted the skirt to just barely peek out from underneath my sweater.

2. I wanted to make sure the skirt was not too flowy or flared.

3. and lastly, I wanted the color and texture of the skirt to be as cozy and winter-friendly as the sweater. 

I also have this skirt in black, but I felt with the white coat, pale blue sweater, and tan boots that a muted grey would be the best option!

The pea-coat was a no-brainer for me today - the chilly weather finally made an appearance in LA!! I absolutely love wearing pea-coats, and the creamy white of this coat went perfectly with the pastel of the sweater and muted tones of the skirt.

And lastly, for shoes, I went with my absolute favorite pair of over-the-knee boots from River Island. These boots are my OBSESSION. I seriously cannot get enough of them! They add a level of sophistication and flare to every outfit, and the neutral color makes it easy to mix and match!

The Cozy Crop

I don't know what it is about crop tops, but I can't seem to get enough of them! Whether they're frilly little numbers from Brandy Melville, or snuggle-ready knits from Shein, they always seem to give me the look I'm going for! As a teeny human (5'3"...okay let's be honest, 5'2") I tend to get swallowed up in lots of fabric, so perhaps that's what draws me to the crop. Either way, I LIVE in them.

Today I am wearing the coziest crop c/o Shein. I am so in love with this piece! Expect to see it a million times over...I tend to wear my favorite pieces till they fall apart! I love the feel and cut of this cropped sweater. I can wear it with almost any of my high-waisted bottoms (and let's be real, I have A LOT of them...maybe I was meant to live in the 70's?!) I've worn it with one of my favorite pairs of Topshop jeans, and today I decided to pair this cozy knit with one of my beloved tennis skirts from American Apparel. I have this tennis skirt in three colors, and I think I might just have to splurge and get another one!

I decided to pair the crop sweater with this tennis skirt because I loved the color palette the two pieces created -- a nice, muted grey scale. As a lover of tights, I had to throw on my Assets from Target (of course they have a rip in them...I tend to destroy all my tights!). And for my shoes? Can't go wrong with my trusty Kourtlan Booties from Zigi Soho! (they're sold out at the moment, but don't fret! I found these amazing booties when they were sold out and kept checking back in and alas, they reappeared!) These booties are one of the MOST comfortable pair of shoes I own, and they match with pretty much everything - a must have!
