Sugarlips: Statement Blazer

11.27.2012






 Outfit Details: blazer c/o SUGARLIPS , sheer coral top, sheer cutout leggings, spiked boots, Forever21 necklace, Charming Charlie watch, Marc by Marc Jacobs heart sunglasses

For the longest time, I've been on the hunt for the perfect black blazer and, thanks to the amazing folks at Sugarlips, my endless search is now over. The white contrast trim detailing and higher back hem makes this not your ordinary black blazer. It's no wonder this perfect statement blazer (find it here) is going to be a staple jacket in my year-round wardrobe. It just goes great with everything!

Since I was going to a fun lunch date I wanted to keep the look very minimal with a solid sheer top and black mesh leggings (love these!). However, the inner goth child in me kept calling out to wear my spiked ankle boots...and so I did. Usually I'm an accessories-galore-girl but I decided to go with simple pieces of jewelry. That Charming Charlie watch bracelet has been my constant fav for months now - I can't stop adoring its "antique" look with gold & silver accents. Plus a new obsession? My Marc by Marc Jacobs heart aviator sunglasses (thanks to the bf)! I'm finding any excuse to wear it. If the sun is out - so are these sunnies. ;)

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! I really enjoyed (and needed) that 4 day weekend break from school/work/internship so it was really nice for me. Did anyone get any good deals from Black Friday or Cyber Monday sales??


Sending love,

Neck Cutouts + Assymetrical Skirt

11.20.2012





Outfit Details: Nasty Gal cutout top, Lulu's assymetrical skirt, glitter heels c/o SOLE SOCIETY, Poppie Jones clutch (from DSW), Papers & Peonies bracelets/necklace, Ever Eden by Michelle Phan chain ring c/o GLAM HOUSE LA

Dressing up is one of my favorite things to do! When I saw this Lulu's assymetrical skirt online, it was love at first sight. Within a couple seconds it was in my shopping cart and quickly became added to my growing collection of skirts.

To keep this look classy and simple (I was going to a Bridal Shower and then a fashion show), I paired the skirt with my Nasty Gal top. I liked how the cutout design at the neckline gave a little edginess to this feminine look. And I also happened to receive my Sole Society black glitter heels by Marco Santi in the mail at the same time! Talk about perfect timing huh? These glitter heels are so gorgeous and have become my current fav black pumps. It definitely adds that extra hint of glam to any outfit which is why love it so much! What's your favorite black pump?


Sending love,

Girls Night Out with Claudette Lingerie

11.16.2012

My little sisteroos and I celebrated a GNO [aka Girls Night Out] with a fun fashion event at Faire Frou Frou for the launch of Claudette lingerie.

I really liked the decor inside the store - very European glam.

One of my fav FFF lingerie...I have a weakness for all things lace.

Fashion bloggers love Claudette lingerie too! With the fab Cherrie from Chica Cherrie and Marlita from Marlita on the Run :)

Cute colors from Claudette's line - so ready for spring coming up!


Of course I had to try on some of the Claudette pieces to see what it was all about. And guess what? They fit perfectly! No lie. I've never had a bra mold to my body like it was meant to be before and this just meshed together so well. 



Outfit Details: white sheer dress, Jessica Simpson wedges - gifted from the bf (from Valentine's Day), Papers & Peonies accessories

I really really liked the fit of the Claudette bras a lot and highly recommend you trying it on and seeing for yourself. Fit does matter, especially when it comes to undergarments, and Claudette has that all figured out!

***Special THANKS to Faire Frou Frou and the Claudette team for an awesome GNO!
