Hightailing in High Heels: Fashion

Fashion Illustrator: Holly Nichols

Sharing some love today because I can't be the only one who adores fashion illustrations! Prints, phone cases, you name it, etc. They add the perfect flair to accessories and home décor. Holly Nichols, creator over at H. Nichols Illustration, illustrates some of the most adorable pieces y'all and recently I had the chance to receive some of her designs! To say I am in love, is an understatement. I am obsessed. If this adorable blonde doesn't scream me, I don't know what does.

Definitely thinking I need to add this mug to my collection next.

Love her designs too? Shop all prints here and phone cases here.

Styled: Hunter Green, White & Grey

Winter is here! Just kidding. More like just for a few days. Over the weekend, we went out to dinner for a family birthday and I wanted to share this outfit with you all. I feel like I could wear this color combo every day. I am the biggest fan of anything hunter green and I loved pairing this color with my grey Nine West pumps.

Also, my love had to get in on the #ootd action and share his new chukkas. Get those here.

Let Freedom Ring - Red, White & Blue

Fashion

A fun simple outfit on our three colors of freedom. A huge thanks to all of our men and women out there who have served our country and continue to serve today.

This is also one of my first outfits where I've worn my hair in a topknot. Thoughts? Hope you all had a safe and wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.

Life's a Beach - Style 1

beach time

So I have decided to do a mini-series of photoshoots over the next few weeks taken at our local beaches here in Sunny Florida. It is truly remarkable how paradise is just a few minutes away and at our very fingertips!

The first beach style is a classic bright bohemian top with white shorts and a floppy hat. This was probably my favorite photoshoot of all time. What do you think?

Black And Blue

Fashion

A color combination not usually done very often nor pulled off. However, I threw on some leopard heels and called it a day. Later that night, I changed into jeans for a night out with coworkers and it became the perfect day to night outfit. Very work appropriate but casual enough to wear out. What do you think?

Trend Spin Linkup Week 38 - Winter White

Fashion

I am so excited to linkup with Walking in Memphis in High Heels this week for her Trend Spin Linkup! And it's all about how to wear white! Well since I live in Florida and it's pretty much acceptable to wear white all year round (GASP) this was an easy one for me to pull off. But my attempt at winter whites just looks like summer whites to me. You be the judge.

We all know how much I love a great neutral, so I paired my white skinnies with a beige tank, belt and bag to bring out the whites. I am not a huge fan of wearing white on white but I don't think it turned out too bad! Thoughts?

A Very Merry Christmas Indeed.

2013 christmas

Oh, hey! Have you missed me? I thought I'd pop in and say hi to you all. The last two months have gone by so quickly and I certainly do not know where to start.

But let me first wish you all a late Merry Christmas! I had the most wonderful time with family and friends. I am beyond spoiled and I do truly enjoy the holiday season.

Here's a quick glimpse in photos from this week. I treated myself to a Christmas mani and new rose gold ring that so perfectly matches my rose gold watch (from Target of course). I spent countless hours wrapping, poor Molly moo didn't know what to do with herself with all of the chaos. Note to self: must get her to groomers asap. And two adorable gifts that I received this year! The first, a pair of lamb slippers - to die for and a new gym bag! Ha. Fits me to a tee, of course. Shopaholic.

What I'm Loving Fridays Link Up - Sepia Style

atlanta trip

Happy Friday the 13th to all of you! I am so excited to start a new link up this week with Lulu over at Simply Lulu Style! And let's start the show with one of the newest items in my closet - this striped beauty below! I scored this Michael Kors top for less than $10 at TJ Maxx! It is actually a navy and white striped silk top but I just love the sepia version below.

So, can I also start off by telling you that I made a big impulse purchase yesterday and I couldn't be more happier! This impulse buy was a plane ticket to fly to Atlanta to see one of my best friends! It has been on my mind for awhile and it is about damn time that I just stopped watching ticket prices and booked a flight. I leave in less than two weeks and I am so happy! Not just because I get to see one of my oldest and bestest friends but also because we have one jam packed weekend planned! More on that later.

Now on to "What I'm Loving" today (well recently really)! I am seriously head over heels for this whole new rose gold trend. So, like any fashion obsessed gal, of course I jumped on the wagon! Here are a few recent items that I've picked up to try out!

What do you think? I think fun subtle hints of the rose gold is the way to go! Can't wait to get these shorts in the mail - my first pair of high waisted shorts! (I know, we will see if I can pull them off) Maybe they will come to Atlanta with me too..hmm! Decisions, Decisions!

Have a great weekend loves!

Trend Spin Linkup Week 14 - Lace

Fashion

I seriously can't believe that it's already September and tomorrow is Wednesday. I mean wow the weekend flew by so fast but yay to a short week! And go me for linking up again with Walking in Memphis in High Heels and The Fashion Canvas this week! Today's trend is lace! As soon as I learned it was lace, I immediately thought of a blouse I bought a few months back that has some delicate lace at the top! I paired it with a big statement necklace (Go GroopDealz!) and some classic grey dress pants for work. Take a look!

You can't really see the lace in the shirt that well but I promise you, it's there. And I really love how the grey and cream came together. A very comfortable work outfit for a busy Tuesday at the office.

Here's to wishing the rest of the week goes by fast!

boots

Hey, hey, it's Friday! Just wanted to give you a quick recap of what I've been up to lately. Last weekend was one of my best weekends in awhile and I really am learning to live this whole single-gal lifestyle. I mean, when you put your entire heart and soul into a relationship, you quickly forget what it's like to do things alone. Even the littlest things like watching TV, eating dinner, shopping, etc! I've been in a relationship since I was 16 with a few hiccups here and there but this time alone is different. It's allowed me to find myself again and it's refreshing to not have to ask to do things, see people or just stay at home alone. You know? I mean, don't get me wrong, I do miss having a plus one to movies, dinner parties and events but it will get easier as time goes on and that perfect somebody will eventually make his way into my life.

Anyways, this weekend is the Blake Shelton, Easton Corbin and Jana Kramer concert and you already know how beyond excited I am! Especially, since I am wearing my new boots! They are so so pretty in person too!

Tomorrow is going to go a little like this, game time (Go Gators!), tailgating, concert and then out on the town with the girls!

So in anticipation of said concert, I, of course had to come up with another inspiration board for my outfit with the new boots! What do you think? I found a really cute chevron top like the one below but its sleeveless! I think the navy will go well with the boots. Anyways - we shall see since I change my mind about five times before I walk out the door to go anywhere!

Have a great weekend loves.

What I'm loving Wednesday

beach time

So I've been a bad girl lately. I think I may have taken it to a whole new level. I feel like I NEED everything especially everything at Target. We all know this is clearly not true. Anyways, I thought I'd catch you up my life and what I am loving lately. Let's start with a few of my recent purchases, of course. I have been spending a lot of time at the beach and pool this summer and I really wanted to get a new bathing suit. I am in LOVE with this suit from Victoria's Secret! I also felt the need for a new beach towel, sunglasses, sandals, jean shorts, tank, beach bag, beach hat and tank! I know, I am well aware of how ridiculous I am. You can tell the theme of colors below - enjoy! Mostly everything was found at Target besides the beach towel and bathing suit.

I am looking forward to spending some quality time with my girlfriends soon. There's nothing a best friend and rum runner can't cure especially when you need girl time. I have some of the best friends a girl could ask for. Speaking of friends, I am trying to book a flight to visit one of my bestest friends in Atlanta. Why must she live so far away from me? Anyways, I am off in search of a good deal and a quick and easy work week. Have a wonderful day and week! Catch up with you all next week!

Trend Spin Linkup Week 5 - Red, White & Blue

Fashion

Oh, hi! Do you remember me? Yes, yes, I know that I've been a little MIA these last few weeks but I assure you it is for good reasons. But nothing will keep me from doing my weekly linkup with Walking in Memphis in High Heels and The Fashion Canvas . Today's theme is Red, White & Blue!

Please don't judge the lighting in these pics or the blurriness of the second one. It's all I got to work with. The weather has been horrific here in South Florida and seriously it was pouring 5 minutes before these were taken and it started to rain again as soon as I was walking inside. So what do you think of my outfit? Can I just say that I found this Michael Kors blouse at TJ Maxx for..75% off the retail price. Yes ladies, a $100 blouse for $25. Score! And the pants are my signature Sloan pants from Banana Republic but in navy! I own them in 5 different colors now. All I know is when you find something that fits you perfect, it's an investment and you must buy them all. I know, I'm clearly the best person for advice when it comes to spending money. Ha!

Anyways, I've seriously been living in a fantasy world lately where responsibilities and stress have ceased to exist. It is so extraordinary how much can change in such a short time. I feel like things have started to fall into place and I couldn't be happier with the direction I am heading in. I am learning to let things go and not hold stress the things you can't control. When you know, you know!

Alright, well I hope you all have a wonderful Fourth of July! I'll be soaking in the Florida sun (hopefully) with a sweet cocktail in hand. I'll catch up with you all next week. Until then, I leave you with one of my favorite lyrics from Lana Del Ray.

Feeling Free Lately

arm candy

Oh hi! I wanted to wear something light today but comfortable and I really am in love with this cardigan. It is just so colorful and fun and really goes with everything. And this necklace. I bought it in two colors. Oh and seriously thanks to our South Florida weather, not even 5 minutes after these photos, it started to downpour.

Trend Spin Linkup Week 3 - Floral

banana republic sloan

It's already Tuesday?! It has been an exhausting weekend and past few days but I am excited that today is Trend Spin Linkup with Walking in Memphis in High Heels and today's theme is floral!

Now I had to search HIGH and LOW to find floral in my closet. I am very disappointed in myself for only owning once piece. Seriously..out of all my clothes...one piece?! Well, I had to make it work. I'm actually proud of myself today because I left the black pants at home and wait for it...wore grey! I KNOW - very different of me. Anyways, what do y'all think? It's a bit outside of my comfort zone with all of the colors but I like it! I think mixing the grey pants and beige heels helped mute the colors. But I do love how bright the cardigan sticks out in the photo below. It really isn't that bright in person. Cardigan is old from Target and shirt is old from Old Navy. Pants are my regular Sloan pants from Banana Republic and my absolute favorite shoes by Guess, the Carries! (I own them in seven colors!)

Let the week go by fast pleaseee! I've got a hot country date on Friday with Chris Young and Brad Paisley! Woo hoo!

Trend Spin Linkup Week 2 - Neon

banana republic sloan

So excited to link up with Walking in Memphis in High Heels again for Trend Spin Linkup this week! It's all about neon today.

I took a different approach with the neon trend. As you might all be well aware, I am a huge fan of neutrals. Yep. I know it comes as a surprise..haha. But I found this cardigan on sale at Target (sadly it's not on sale online though) I paired it with a cream blouse, black pants (my go-to for work) and some fun gold and neutral pointy toe pumps (TJ Maxx). What do you think? The cardigan is much brighter in person like a coral neon color.

Happy Tuesday to you all! Tomorrow is my Friday and then I am off to Disney for a few days with the family!

cream blouse

Today I bring you a sweet little yellow and cream combination. I really love this look. I love taking things that I already own and adore and finding new combinations with newer items. I bought this cardigan a week or so ago from Target. It is so light and pretty and really works well over a blouse. Also, I just can't get enough of my link bracelet. I swear I wear it with everything.

Also, I've added the photo above so you can see a glimpse of my shoes and hot pink toenails. I am a very neutral-loving gal but I went out of my comfort zone with the pink! I am so glad that I did because the color is so much fun! But as for my nails, I stayed neutral with Essie Mochachino!

Shoes are from TJ Maxx.

So are y'all as happy as I am that today is Wednesday? Well yea, I'd be much happier if it were Friday. Rascal Flatts is coming to town and this girl's got tickets! Woo hoo! I've got a blog post coming up soon about my summer concert attire inspiration! As for the rest of the week, I've got family in town, my sweet nephew's first birthday party and some client business out of town! Busy week for me.
