Shooting Stars


I loved anything to do with the moon and stars before it was a trend, now there's just more to buy! One of my favorite pairs of shoes (looks wise, not so much for comfort/ability to walk) are these velvet star booties from Steve Madden. I had my eye on them for months until they finally went on sale and I scored a pair in my size along with the matching bag (not pictured).
Another thing I love is metallics. I always wanted that vintage Tommy Hilfiger metallic silver puffer jacket so when my sister saw this windbreaker, she got it for me. It's fun to style because it's way oversized on me and when I got it I knew I had to wear it with those boots.
I felt like a total space girl, shooting off into the new year!

Last Minute Holiday Looks


Happy Holidays everyone!
If you're like me, you still don't have any sort of outfit planned for your holiday get-together with friends, family, work, etc. I usually just throw something together the day before but I like to look around on Pinterest and Instagram for inspiration ahead of time, to see looks similar to things I own that I could recreate. I'm also not one to dress up a lot, especially for just a family gathering where I'll just be playing with children, so I love to put together simple and comfy outfits that are still super cute and put together! With that being said, let's go into the 4 looks I put together for some last minute inspiration and if you see something you REALLY love, you can shop it!


I'm a lover of sneakers, especially cute trendy ones (hello, Steve Madden!) so this look is right up my alley. I love the knotted detail on the t-shirt dress and I'll never say no to a pop of velvet or metallic gold to spice things up!
SHOP IT:
Knotted Shift Dress (comes in black) - $42
Steve Madden Burgundy Velvet Slip-On Sneakers - $50
Metallic Gold Crossbody Purse - $30


I've been loving these wrap tops that remind me of ballet-wear. The perfect little accent to a simple top. Pair it with pants or a skirt and some cute loafers or mules (been loving these too!)
And again, there's the optional pop of metallic for a little extra something!
SHOP IT:
Wrapped Up Burgundy Sweater - $42
A-Line Black Mini Skirt - $29
Metallic Moto Jacket - $38
Black Suede Bow Mule - $70


I think this is my favorite look of the 4. I'm soooo obsessed with this dress from Target and at that price it's like, do I buy it for the possible future occasion where I'd wear it before it's gone?! The velvet, bell sleeves, big bow, it's just everything trendy and cute in one! I think this would look so fab with over-the-knee black boots, or the taupe to pull together with the bow! These boots are also a great staple pair of shoes to own.
SHOP IT:
Velvet Holiday Bow Dress - $28
Steve Madden Over-The-Knee Suede Boots in Black or Taupe! - $75


Finally, look number 4 is super fun! These metallic joggers, currently on sale at GAP, are the piece that defines comfy and cute! Since they're a bit bold, I'd pair them with a simple tee or bodysuit in black or a pop of red for Christmas. Then there's these adorable heels from the WWW X Target collection that I love to make it a little more dressy. This look can also double as a great New Year's Eve look!
SHOP IT:
Metallic Jersey Joggers (on sale!) - $55
Simple Long Sleeve Crew Neck Tee - $7
or
Simple Crew Neck Bodysuit - $10
(both come in red and black!)
Who What Wear Embellished Heels - $40

Keep an eye on my Insta to see what look I pull together for Sunday!

"This is a story about a girl named Lucky..."


If your friend asks you to model in an oversized Looney Tunes tee and red beret, with a touch of Italian charm...you can't say no. *Outfit styled by Kristen, I take credit for owning the jeans.
This was a look for her final project but I wanted to share the pics on here because it was such a fun outfit to wear, though not completely my style. I love these jeans I got at Brandy Melville a while ago, they're a mix of mom & boyfriend style jeans and make any outfit cuter. Graphic tees are always fun to dress up too. The beret hat was a little tricky but looks cute in pics and honestly kind of made the whole look.Then Kristen just loaded me up with bling, wearing like 8 different rings, but it was fun!
An exciting look, styled by my bestie, that got a lot of stares and laughs.
