Shoe Lovin' : Brown studded Boots

 

       βoots season is here and my pick for Shoe Lovin' Post this fall is this beautiful pair of Kelly pointed toe boot that is selling out fast everywhere. The western style design is so on trend this season. The boots is pull on style with 31/4 chunky, block heels. The brown stud details is very chic and unexpected and the deep brown chocolate color makes it the right color (boot) choice for the season. The boots run small so, going up a size would be the best bet especially because they are "pull ons." Happy viewing, happy shopping. Check it out HERE.

How to style: Striped Pant Suit

         ϻy love love for pantsuits is deep and I cannot really explain why because I love them just as much as I love dresses. This styling collage was put together by me and shows how I would style a striped brown suit if I owned one. This look can be worn just about anywhere by switching out the accessories to fit the occasion or event that you are attending. For a more formal occasion, I would style a full monochrome look by wearing brown or nude color shoes but for a casual event, the green slingbacks is a perfect pop of color. Brown and tans are going to be a huge trend this fall and if you need more styling inspiration, check out my styling IG here. Happy viewing, happy styling.

Fall Wish List

     ᗪeep brown color is the color of Fall season this year and it is trending in beautiful hues and textures; think brown leather jackets, pleated skirts and square and pointed toe boots. Styling this color for fall would be really easy too. Browns can be styled in monochrome by mixing different hues and shades of brown and if you like you can add a subtle pop of color like cream, burgundy and orange. Browns can also be styled by pairing it with beiges and tans. My wish list for fall has combination of beige and brown pieces and my favorite item on the list is actually this off white pleated leather skirt; so classy and chic.

Wine color Dress + puffy sleeves

 

     Ⴒuffy sleeves look like a trend that would be around for a long long time and I'm not complaining. I love how stylish and modest the trend is. And like every other trend we are seeing these days, there is nothing new about this style or this trend; it's just a recycled trend from season's past and that's okay. This wine color dress is an old purchase from Loft; from two or three years ago. I love the color, the waist ties and the lace inserts on the sleeves. Certainly, the time has come to tone down the colors for the season and my favorite colors for fall are browns, beige, burgundy, orange and purple. I'll have these colors in mind as I shop for the season. What are your favorite fall colors? Thanks so much for reading.

Knit maxi dress for lounge wear

 

     ㄥounge wear outfits have been in for a while now since we are all stuck at home during this pandemic. While the hype has been all about lounge pant and short sets, I have been loving knit dresses and have been wearing a lot of dresses. I would reserve the knit pants and pants in general for the cold season which is almost here. This green knit dress is an old purchase from Gap and it's very comfortable and feels great on the skin. This white pouch bag is a recent addition to my pouch bags. I love that it is stylish and edgy and the color is great for a subtle pop of color. Bottega Veneta did great by bringing back this dumpling, pouch bag trend along with the square toed shoe trend.  Many retailers have made more affordable inspired pieces based off of Bottegas. You can check out my previous post here if you need to shop for similar bags. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Designer Bottega Bag - Looks for less

            βottega veneta bags have been trending for a while now and just like most trending pieces, we can now find inspired styles and dupes of the bag in high street retail stores and on Amazon. Some dupe versions are so close in style that it's hard to tell from a distance if it's real or dupe and others have been manufactured  with little alterations to the original version of the bag. If you are interested in snagging an inspired version of this bag for yourself, check out the selections below.

Smocked, tiered and a crop top

 

       ऽummer is a time to wear easy, breezy dresses like this tiered, smocked embroidered dress that I  have had in my closet for a long time. I purchased it from a friend years ago that had a small clothing/accessories business. You can always find dresses like this in the stores in the summer time and they have been trending somewhat along with baby doll dresses this summer thanks to H&M. The dress is a strapless dress and since I needed some cover on my shoulders, I threw a small crop top over it. My tan color pouch bag and square toed mules completed the look. Summer is almost over as we know so this brown color is suitable for this sunny weather that is gradually coming to an end. What do you think of the baby doll and tiered dress trend? Please, do not stop in your support of small businesses and black and brown owned businesses. Stay home, stay safe and stop the spread..

All white Outfit for labor day and beyond.

     Ꭿn all white outfit is a winner any day and any season and since the "no wearing of white after labor day rule" has been thrown out the door a long time ago, my choice of outfit for labor day this year and beyond is an all-white outfit. I have had this Boohoo Dress for a while now and I love how easy it is to wear and also love the puffy sleeves. I styled the dress with white pumps and a straw clutch and a pair of earrings from Jcrew. I love that this outfit is simple and yet a bit sophisticated enough to wear to any socially distant event like a birthday party. I wouldn't wear this white dress to a wedding unless I'm wearing it in a different color because you never want to compete with the bride in white. I love that Boohoo dresses are affordable and come in a variety of colors. However, I think they need to step up the quality of their pieces because it's not that great. If you are looking for something quick and easy to wear that is also affordable and trendy, then you can check out site. Thanks so much for reading.
