Trendy Tuesday: Chokers

Rumi Neely, creator of these awesome necklaces!

   Last Summer tattoo chokers became big again... remember those from the 80's? Now this year dainty chokers and thick band chokers are in. Just another small homage to the 80's. 

Early Mornings and Bright Coffee

  Hiiiii. Happy Tuesday! Hope your week has started off well. This weekend I got to do some exploring and discovered the cutest coffee shop. It has a very down to earth setting and earthy vibe. Super hipster. Luckily it was a fairly warm winter day and we sat outside and enjoyed a delicious pastry breakfast. 

What A Feeling

      Hello, it's me... (I can never say that again without singing it like Adele). This is a little bit of a different outfit post, as I don't have too many picture of this outfit. Nevertheless, I wanted to share it because this was an awesome night. I was lucky enough to get some tickets to one of One Direction's last performances before their hiatus (I mean, look how happy I am in this picture above. I also want to note that the show was called the Triple Ho show. Like, what a horrible name for a concert. Other artists were there like Fifth Harmony, 5 Seconds of Summer, Nathan Sykes, and Austin Mahone.

Trendy Tuesday: Metallic Midi

    With fall approaching quickly, much quicker in other places, it's time to get ready for the new seasonal trends. One that is a little more "street style", is the metallic pleated midi skirt. Although they are a little scarce to find for under $100 at the moment, it is definitely worth the hunt.

Trendy Tuesday: Graphic Sweaters

Give me Space sweatshirt- Reformation

   With the crisp fall air rolling in day by day, it gets monotonous to wear a plain knit sweater all the time. It gets hard to change up the fall look when all you own are fifty white sweaters because they are your favorite. A big trend for the fall is to throw on a quirky graphic sweater or sweatshirt!

I Got Stripes

   Like the famous Johnny Cash song goes, I got stripes. And hey look, I'm in front of a jail too. These pants may or may not slightly resemble jail stripes, but they are sure comfy! Paired with the right thing, striped pants can look cool and they elongate your legs too!

Trendy Tuesday: Lace up

   Whether it is a lace up bodysuit, top, shorts, or pants; lace up clothing is so in for summer/fall. The one place that has made it a hot commodity was the Reformation. They started with the Avalon Bodysuit, then moved to dresses, mini and midi, and even little crop tops. They really got the trend before it even was one! I love what the Reformation does with their clothes being sustainable and taken from big warehouses that would have otherwise thrown the fabric away. They take these fabrics and make clothes from them to eliminate waste. Totally cool and good for the environment, but not everyone can afford the prices for these gorgeous pieces. Luckily more stores have started to re-create these pieces at a more affordable price. Here are some of the many celebs and bloggers wearing the Reformation Avalon Bodysuit to give you inspo, and links to all these lace up cuties. P.s. Haley Madison is my total girl crush/blogger crush/everything crush, I love her free spirit and just everything about her so check her out!

Bad-ass Boots

    As you all know, recently I did a post on fringe and how trendy it is. I love shoes and I am not a big fan on spending $100 or more on shoes, but these boots are totally bad ass. The fact that they are also comfortable makes them all the more worth it.

Trendy Tuesday: Designer Jeans you can DIY

Anthropologie Jeans

Christopher Kane Jeans

Dolce and Gabbana Jeans

Paige Denim

Preserve Jeans

  I am majorly loving jeans with embellishments, embroidery, and even paint! If I had the money I would totally just buy one of these beautiful pairs of jeans. Luckily, if you are a bargain lover like me, you can buy a pair of inexpensive jeans at H&M, forever 21, or even thrift stores. Find a pair that fits really well! You can do any of these looks on skinny, boyfriend, flared, whatever floats your boat. This next weekend I'm going to go out and buy a couple pairs so I can paint cherry blossoms like the Preserve jeans pictured above. Blake Lively wore the cherry blossom jeans and it was the perfectly put-together outfit for spring!
  I also want to try embellishing jeans with jewels, and hope that I can get them to look just as good as the designer jeans. I think bejeweling your jeans give them a fancier look and you can just throw them on.
  Finally, if you don't want to go out and buy a new pair because you are on a budget, look through your denim drawer and see if their are any pairs that may be a little too beat up, you can patch them up! You can purchase scraps of cloth at JO ANN craft store, rummage sales, and thrift stores and patch up those holes in your jeans and make them trendy all over again.

Hopefully this will give you some inspiration to do a DIY in the near future.

Fun in the Sun

Overalls have been a huge trend to wear since last year. I bought a vintage pair at salvation army last year, but don't wear them out that often, I think it is because the legs and butt are super baggy, therefore not the most flattering to wear. Recently I bought this black pair of overalls at H&M on sale! I tried them on in the store and they were too small, and didn't have the size up, luckily they had them online so I got them. I think these are the perfect overalls because of the skinny fit in the leg and butt area. They do get looser throughout the day, but that just made them even more comfortable! It was such a gorgeous day in California yesterday, I just had to do a little more shopping and soak up the sun in my new overalls.

All Dressed up and Somewhere to go

Tuxedo's are classic, and always will be. Instead of being just for men, the ever lasting classic piece has been transformed into women's wear and not just menswear. Tuxedo's can range from a full pant-suit, to a blazer and skirt, and now the trendy tuxedo dress! Although mine isn't quite a dress it is close enough for now. 

Live to Give

Finding a vintage piece of clothing is always so exciting for me. With my grandparents being antique collectors I am fortunate enough to find some great pieces. Recently my grandmother picked up this vintage U.S. Army jacket, the patches have sadly been removed. So in place I added some vintage pins that has a picture of my great-grandfather who was in the army, and the other to represent my great-grandfather on my Dad's side.

Trendy Tuesday: Earrings on the Red Carpet

 Today I want to talk about a trend I have noticed on the red carpets; Geometric earrings, double-sided earrings, and crawlers.

 Starting with the geometric earrings, I think these are great minimalistic pieces to have in your collection. The geometric shape gives an edgier look to an outfit.

 Double-sided earrings on the other hand, with the right hair-do, can make a look very sophisticated. A slicked back bun with double sided earrings (as seen on Rosie), gives a very polished look.

Last, but not least, are crawler earrings. This is a single post that extends up and around the ear. It is very similar to an ear cuff, and comes in different styles. These are a good statement piece for a night out. I think this is one of the most popular trends on the red carpet out of the three trends.

Which one would you try out?

Cable knit+ Fur Sweater

Today's outfit of the day is kind of street style inspired outfit. This mixed cable-knit and (faux) fur sweater is easy to throw on to create that street style look. Turtlenecks are also really great layering pieces in the winter, and colder spring days.

Jacket: Ci Sono
Jeans: American Eagle
Boots: Franco Sarto
