Happy Thursday my beautiful friends, 

I am a huge fan of 60s and 70s style and I'm stoked that we're seeing more and more pieces and trends hitting stores with these styles in preparation for fall, such as flared denim, suede, and ribbed shirts and sweaters.When it comes to flared jeans don't shy away; give those skinnies a break! For the past several years it's been as though no other style of jean ever existed before the skinny and while they're great because they're versatile, there are other options out there we can wear to mix up our look(s), such as the flare or bootcut. If you have wider hips, such is the case with the pear and hourglass body shapes, and are concerned about the flare making them appear wider, I'd suggest you go with a simple flare instead of the bell-bottom/wide legged option. Contrary to some belief the (subtle) flare on the leg helps balance out curvier shapes by mimicking the width of the hips, while providing some additional dimension and curve to the apple, inverted triangle, and rectangular body shapes (who I suggest go wider with the leg). Above is a set of inspired pieces that I'm loving that feature the most popular 70s style right now, I hope it inspires you to give one or all of them a try!

As always thanks so much for stopping by :)

Happy Tuesday beautiful!

One of this fall's hottest and chicest trends is the "pussy bow" blouse. Yeah, I know a very awkward name indeed. I mean, who comes up with these names anyway?! Nothing like breaking the ice in the office by saying aloud, I absolutely love your pussy bow blouse, haha! Can you imagine? We're just gunna call it the bow blouse, a better name I think anyway. It's one that's perfect to wear in so many different ways and settings, so I encourage you to have fun and experiment in the office and on your local runway, aka your streets ;) I created a set that will give you some options on how you can wear this trend in different ways to get you started and of course I'll be showing you more with my own featured pairings, so stay tuned for that!

I wish you all an awesome start to your day and sending you much love :)

XxO,

I hope you're all having an awesome start to your day so far! You know how much I love trying new color combinations and this lavender and olive duo is a match made in heaven. I absolutely love the way these two colors compliment each other; they're perfect to wear all throughout spring into autumn and depending on the pieces of course, winter! I know you guys probably don't even want to have a discussion about winter, haha; I don't blame you! I thought to create this pairing when I created my olive x aqua look (found here). I was trying to think outside the box when it came to the olive and so many different colors started coming to mind an lavender was one of them. 

I hope you feel inspired by this combo and think to give it a try on yourselves because it's one that I feel would look great on most skin-tones :)

Have an awesome rest of your day, beautiful! Thanks for stopping by :)

Happy Hump Day beauties,

After flipping through my magazine collection, I've noticed a reoccurring theme that I love for fall, chunky oversized sweaters paired with fitted skirts. Even though we are still in summer, fall is literally right around the corner, so what better time to prepare our closets then now?! I'm swooning over this combo and I know you will too because on those autumn days when you really don't know what to wear, this can certainly become a go-to option. It's easy and and reads minimalistic cool. Above is a look I created which will give you an idea on how you can style this trend; I hope you find it inspirational! 

Thanks so much for stopping by and have an amazing day!

XO,

Happy Tuesday!

One popular trend that I've been loving is the buttoned skirt. I think it adds more detail and interest to an otherwise simple skirt, making it much more unique. I happened to score this white one by Theory at a local thrift store. I was beyond excited when I spotted it and the price point was perfect. It's true what they say, you can certainly find some hidden treasures at thrift stores, you just have to have the patience to dig! 

When it comes to body shapes, I think this trend would work well for every shape. For the apple and inverted triangle, it adds some interest to the bottom portion of the legs, helping to enhance your natural slender and defined legs. For the hourglass and pear, although these two shapes are quite curvy on the bottom, depending on the style, it can truly enhance those natural curves; a higher waist is best. Lastly, for the rectangular this style helps to create a nice focal point and if it's a high waisted style, it'll help to re-establish the waist area. 

I hope you all found this post helpful in getting ready this Tuesday morning! I wish you all an awesome and productive day :)

XO, 

Jalisa
