It's all about the bell, Baby!

It’s all about the statement sleeves this season and I am all about making a statement!

If you were wondering how you can up your blouse and top game, then a statement sleeve is the way to go.  There are so many options of the exaggerated sleeve, from billowy to bell-shaped, ruffled to extra-long. It’s such a great way to add a little playfulness to your look.

The top that I'm wearing could be worn so many ways! If everyday basics are your jam, then you could pair this top with a pair of skinny jeans and chucks. For this look, instead of less is more….I am all about more is more! I paired my bell sleeve top with a jacquard skirt from ASOS.

If I could live in this look, I would! I love the mix of prints, and the skirt even has some drama with the puff hem. I love a little drama, but only in what I wear!

I paired this look with my favorite Kathryn Amberleigh booties, I’ve decided that these boots are just an all year-round shoe for me.

Hope you enjoyed this look as much as I did!

About the look

Lady in Red

I know they say every woman should have a little black dress but I think a red one should be added to that list!

I love wearing red now!  I think it's beautiful color but for some reason, I am just now starting to purchase red. I found this perfect red steal on sale at H&M for $20! The only thing that would make it even better and have me wearing this every week is if it had pockets. I freaking love dresses with pockets. Besides not having any pockets, the dress is amazing!

I'm really into this floral tapestry shoe trend. These beauties are Sole Society. My in-laws gave my Mr. and I a gift card to Nordstrom's for our anniversary, so basically they gave me a gift card! I found these online and got them immediately. These are my first pair of Sole Society so now I'm hooked! I couldn't decide if wanted to wear the dress completely loose and flowy or cinch it up with a belt. As you can see, the belt won! I found this vintage, leather Charles Jourdan belt on eBay a while back and when I got this dress I knew it would pair well together.

My favorite part of this look, are the jewels! I found my jewelry spirit animal on IG, Old Soul.  She has an amazing shop on Etsy and I am completely obsessed with her and her pieces. She takes vintage designer buttons and turns them into magic! The designer, Ashley, is totally my friend in my head. You have to check her out: Old Soul.

Today I am headed to San Fran for a few days and I will be packing my red dress to spice up the joint a little bit!

And by the way, this was my first time shooting with girl boss crush, Kaye McCoy!  Total black girl magic and I loved her!

Spring-ing

I am in love with so many of the trends for Spring 2017!

A few of my favorites are "walking the line" (stripes), "flower bomb" (florals), "lounging" (robes), and "light-bright" (anything pink for me)! Do you guys like the new names I came up with for the new trends?! I love the fact that most of the spring 2017 trends are things that we have seen before but remixed.

For instance, we have all seen stripes before, but for spring 2017, the stripes are bold and make a statement. The spring and summer trends are so upbeat, it matches my personal style perfectly.

For this look, I put together three of the trends for spring. I combined pink, utilitarian, and statement earrings!  I love my jeans; ASOS calls them mom jeans with paper bag waist.  The paper bag waist definitely has a utilitarian feel and these earrings are my favorite! Unfortunately, these beauties are sold out and I have not found anything like them any place else.

Wearing orange and pink together is the perfect color block. These colors are very close on the color wheel and they work perfect together, especially for the spring!

Check out my orange and pink combo!

Happy Spring-ing!
