runway inspired.

September 24, 2012

While I’m so excited to be experiencing my first fall in NYC, a few runway shows from NYFW have me already counting down the months until spring! Bloglovin‘ is challenging bloggers to create a runway inspired post from Rebecca Minkoff’s Spring/Summer 2013 collection and I thought it would be the perfect opportunity to take elements from her spring collection and integrate them into my fall wardrobe.

My favorite elements from RM’s show were the graphic lines and baroque-style prints — a balanced contrast between traditional patterns and modern details. So when I found this baroque graphic print dress from Topshop, I knew it would pair perfectly with a peplum top for a look that’s both edgy and sophisticated.

Top: Topshop
Dress: Topshop (worn as a skirt)
Necklace: H&M (similar)
Bag: Rebecca Minkoff
Shoes: Pour la Victoire

PS: Bloglovin’ and Rebecca Minkoff are also holding a contest for readers and it ends today! Check out the details for your chance to win a $500 shopping spree!

how to: wear white after labor day.

August 29, 2012

I’m so excited to share a style collaboration that I’ve been working on with three beautiful bloggers: Jessica of Bows & Sequins, Tara of Mix and Match Fashion, and Sara of Glitter & Grace. Every other Wednesday for the next two months, we’ll be taking one trend and styling it four ways. It’ll be a fun way to challenge ourselves and hopefully give you inspiration on how to incorporate trends into your own looks.

For the first round, we’re showing you how to wear white after Labor Day. While many people still hold onto the belief that you shouldn’t wear white after summer is over, we say break those rules! They never made sense anyway!

For me, this challenge was the perfect time to break out the white blazer that I bought during Zara’s online summer sale. I paired it with floral pants and black accessories for a sharp, yet flirty look. For more, check out how Jess, Tara, and Sara will be wearing white after Labor Day over at their blogs!

Blazer: Zara (similar here and here)
Tank: Forever 21
Pants: H&M (similar here and here)
Necklace: Spike the Punch
Bracelets: A Beautiful Heart (c/o), Banana Republic (similar)
Bag: Coach
Shoes: Pour la Victoire

going graphic.

August 16, 2012

I’m still on a black and white kick from yesterday’s post. Today, I added a bit more color with bright purple shorts and a coral crossbody bag. Gold accessories make for the perfect final touch.
