It's My Birthday!

Posted by Jalisa's Fashion Files on 09. 29. 14. under Looks Of The Day

Hello loves,

So today's my birthday! I want to thank all of you who've wished me a Happy Birthday on my social media outlets, you truly helped make this day extra special. It means so much that you all took the time to say your kind words and birthday wishes, especially since we've never met. It's such an amazing feeling to know that I have this internet family of supportive and encouraging women. You continue to put smiles on my face, often times when I'm not having such a good moment or day, I get a tweet or message from one of you telling me how thankful you are for my work. So I wanted to write a post thanking you all for you support, love, and encouragement. I know I always tell you that it means everything, but it really does :)

XO,

Jalisa

Dex Spring 2015 Launch Event

Posted by Jalisa's Fashion Files on 09. 16. 14. under Events

Hello gorgeous ladies,

Yesterday I had the wonderful opportunity of attending Dex's Spring 2015 launch at the Jane Hotel's Cafe Gitane in NYC! I was very excited because prior to the event, I was somewhat familiar with the brand; I've seen their pieces before, but this time around, I was able to meet and speak with the owners, Francesco and Natalie, about the heart and brain behind Dex, which I want to share with all of you!

Happy Monday!

One of my favorite fall pieces is the fur vest (I prefer faux). I think it's a great example of a fall essential because it's easy to incorporate into any outfit, as a basic layering piece. Fall fashion is all about layering, since those early fall mornings are generally chilly and as the day progresses, it tends to warm up. What I love about this particular piece is that it can be worn in a variety of ways and with so many different pieces, giving you many looks and styles to play around with. Plus, if you start to feel hot throughout the day, you can take it off and it won't negatively effect or take away from your outfit, which is great!

In this look, I wore it over a basic white long sleeve paired with jeans and studded combat boots, for a relaxed and causal feel. To add a little extra detail, I added this cute newsboy hat, which I loved with the outfit, especially the vest! I do intend on styling this and other fur vests (I'm on the hunt for some more!) a lot during these next few months, so if you want some inspiration on how to style it, stay tuned!

Thanks so much for stopping by :)
