Summer Blues


Afternoon ladies! This summer has been a whirlwind of so much fun in the sun and hot summer nights. One of my favorite summer looks has got to be sporting my high-waisted, roughed-up jean shorts. They can practically be found just about everywhere, but my little tip of advice would be to buy them for just a couple dollars at a thrift store and spice them up yourselves! I felt the blues this summer day and worked this darling little top into two different looks. First I wore the shirt down, so the ends could flow openly as I walked. The second look was to tie the ends together to create a flirty and fun top that really showed off the back.  I have such an obsession with open-backs! Such a sneaky, sexy surprise that reveals just enough ;) Since my hair is such a long mane, I decided to fishtail it back into a loose braid so the back of the shirt could be shown off! I hope you are all enjoying your summer and are living it up to the fullest!
kisses, Em

Dark Summer


Greetings my fashionistas! So I'm sure we have all heard by now that neon is THE look for summer, which is oh so fabulous and fun. BUT, don't forget neutrals and blacks are still fierce competitors that look amazing paired with cool bobbles and jewels. The sexy, grunge look is really making head-way in the fashion world, and the more carefree and less "done-up" you look, the better. It's all about the "young, wild and free" lifestyle, with killer shoes, layered necklaces, bracelets, and lots of fun rings! I took on this trend by pairing my sexy bustier (which is a must for summer!) with the high-low, sheer skirt that is an essential to a woman's closet. I threw on some really fun silver and turqoise jewelry and added some studded bracelets and skulls to finish off the edginess of the look. I kept my hair simple and undone, and rocked some killer Sam Edelman sandals that are a statement in themselves!

Where to Wear This:
This look is so great for summer! Go have a fun day out with your friends or rock out to a summer concert while looking edgy, sexy, and trendy all at once. Be the bad girl you wanna be, with that undone mane and smokey eye. Add some great accessories and you're set! Sometimes it's worth it to skip the neons for a day and still be a statement in the crowd.
kisses, Em

Blue Hues & Sparkly Shoes


Afternoon ladies! I had a wonderful day in Hollywood with my BFF ( aka my momma :) ) where we shopped, grabbed brunch out by the Kodak Theater, and enjoyed a beautiful day together. I was feeling very girly today and wanted to rock these hott, new heels I just snagged online. I honestly feel like women don't rock daring, sexy high heels enough just for fun, so I decided to mix things up from my comfortable little sandals and work these sparkly shoes all day long! The blue, sheer button-up looks great paired with some black leggings and a black bra (or bandeau/tank if not comfortable,) and the messy bun compliments the blazer into a more relaxed look. 

Where to Wear This:
Well, if you want to just have a girly shopping day like me, I say rock this look wherever your heart desires! But if you feel this is a little dressed up for your normal day, I would pair this look with some great flats or sandals; but personally, I think the heels make the look! You could wear the original outfit out to dinner with the girls due to it's fun and flirty, yet comfortable approach, or even just out to the movies. Just don't feel too intimidated or too shy to rock that sexy pair of heels you've had sitting in your closet for days; take the liberty of being a woman and work those heels with power!
kisses, Em

Casual Class


 Hello darlings! I got the amazing privilege to be able to see the Grove in West Hollywood! It was absolutely gorgeous and such a fun experience. Since I knew I'd be among the stars, I decided to make a POP in red but also keep it nice and classy. I paired my casual, comfortable maxi dress with a black blazer, great sandals, and a fabulous eye-catching necklace. This easy little outfit is so great because it not only dazzles but is so comfortable as well :)

Where to Wear This:
This classy little ensemble would look great just about anywhere, especially if you want to make a statement without going overkill. This would also look great for a job interview or going out with the girls for the day/night! Always remember that some of your simplest pieces could be an excellent combo with your blazer and don't shy away from glamming your look up with some fun accessories or shoes! 
kisses, Em

Touched By An Angel


Hello loves! While I was in La La Land and uncontrollably starstruck by the Hollywood glitz and glam, I got an amazing opportunity to meet two of my favorite models of all time, Candice Swanepoel and Miranda Kerr! Such a dream come true, because I, like every girl in the world, has had a lifelong dream of becoming a Victoria's Secret model, so seeing these beauties in person was quite a treat! Since I was sooo very excited for this amazing opportunity, I couldn't help myself but do a little shopping for the event :) I mean come on, I had to look amazing meeting these girls! I found this white hot dress at this adorable little boutique, Black Jack, and assembled it with my own closet pieces. I spiced my look up with these great, chunky heels, and dressed it down with an a-line, cropped jean shirt to use as my sweater, and threw on a great statement necklace to match my coral-orange shoes. 

Where to Wear This:
This is a great outfit to wear out on a date with your loved one, out to the club with the girls, or out to lunch with friends. Whenever you feel like looking super fiinee but still want to keep things casual, try pairing a hot dress with some more casual pieces, and you'll be ready to rock the town :)

Starstruck



Morning darlings! So this week has been quite eventful for me because I FINALLY went to Hollywood for the very first time! What an amazing trip it was; celebrities, the Walk of Fame, the Grove, and lots of fun shopping of course! I was absolutely dying to check out Rodeo Drive, but sadly didn't have enough time in the day! But no worries I will do a little fashion photoshoot there soon enough ;) I, like every other tourist, was infatuated with the Walk of Fame and couldn't get enough! I took advantage of the Hollywood scenery and snapped a few pics here for my latest blog entry :) My first day in Hollywood I felt like rocking a sexy, bold fit. Who ever said looking like a star was only for the celebrities?? ;) I paired a sexy little bandeau with a sweet and girly black vest. The sheer lace at the bottom really adds a fun and trendy vibe to the outfit, especially since sheer lace and chiffon are so in right now! I then wore some high-waisted black shorts underneath, and finished my outfit off with some black booties, a black/gold purse, and some fun, chunky gold jewelry. 

Where to Wear This:
So if you happen to be hitting the streets of Hollywood like me, then I, of course, would rock this bold little number there! If not, then not to worry, this sexy-sweet ensemble would look great going out with the ladies, out shopping, or just when you straight up feel like looking hott on the weekend. I promise you'll be feeling like a STAR! ;)
kisses, Em

Flowy Shirts & Maxi Skirts


Good afternoon ladies! I have to say that I am absolutely in LOVE with maxi skirts lately. Who doesn't want to feel both comfortable and fabulous all at once? These skirts are the best and add a beautiful femininity to your daily wardrobe. I paired my maxi with a beautiful, flowy top that has a surprise open back, (who doesn't love that?!) Under my tank, I threw on a sweet little bandeau to cover up my bra, but hey, if you got it, flaunt it! Having a bare back is so sexy these days and will definitely add some sex appeal to your look. If that's a little much, feel free to sport a black strapless bra which would still look great! To top off my comfy fit, I threw on some simple gold jewelry and some combat boots to finish the laid-back style I had created. Everyone should definitely invest in some maxi skirts ASAP, especially with spring and summer heading our way! These little gems will really accent your wardrobe and give your looks a feminine flair.

Where to Wear This:
Since this outfit is definitely on the laid-back end of things, you could wear this just about anywhere! If it's a bit chilly outside, pair with a long brown/black sweater to keep things sweet and simple. Enjoy lounging around while still looking gorgeous all day long!
kisses, Em
