bold blazer.

June 18, 2012

If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you already know that I’m trying something different this week: styling a plain white t-shirt in three very different ways (my own modified version of College Fashion’s style challenge).  Besides making wardrobe changes heck of lot easier, the challenge really inspired me to look at my closet more creatively.

First up: the plain white tee all glammed up.  Black staples plus injections of bright, bold color make for a surprisingly easy and edgy transformation.  This might be my favorite look, but we’ve still got two more to go!

Blazer: H&M
T-Shirt: H&M
Shorts: Forever 21
Necklace: Forever 21
Bag: Botkier
Bracelet: Erin Wasson x Low Luv
Shoes: Pour la Victoire
Nail Polish: Essie’s Geranium

a beautiful heart.

June 15, 2012

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Ainslee of A Beautiful Heart!  Besides being a fellow Wildcat and hailing from the same hometown, we immediately bonded over our mutual love of fashion blogs, J.Crew, and all things sparkly.  She’s the sweetest girl and was gracious enough to let me parade her gorgeous handmade jewelry all over my blog (seen here, here, and here).  Check out her lovely Etsy shop and let me know what some of your favorite pieces are!
