The Classic Black Tote

When it comes to fall fashion the one item that I will consistently have on me is my favorite black tote. I always have felt that a great bag is a good investment especially in a dark color that wears well. Most recently I had the misfortune of learning the hard way that some high end designer bags doesn't always mean they provide the best quality. Which inspired me to find a plethora of fabulous designer bags in my favorite shade {and a little fabulous leopard embellishment too} at all different price points for toting around town! Which one is your favorite???

Weekend Wear - Spring Nights

Since Spring has graced us with its sunny skies and warmer temperatures I thought I would create a look on how to wear black into the season without feeling too dark. While I have made it no secret that you will usually find me in head to toe black when I go out, come warm weather black feels so blah, especially when everyone else is breaking out the vibrant colors. So without taking the plunge of full on head to toe color, don't be so quick to pack away the black denim for next winter, incorporate it with a top that has color in a pretty pattern like that kaleidoscope below or even floral. I always like to add a blazer with any cami and that chambray beauty below is such a versatile piece that will go with everything all spring and summer. Lighten up your beauty products with some pretty natural hues like peachy beiges and you're good to go!

Have a great rest of the weekend!!!

Color Crush - Oxblood

It's no news flash that oxblood is most definitely the "it" color of the moment. I have been searching for the right item to add to my closet in this winey shade then I spotted some vamp red cords on a lunch break. They were perfect for the fall and when I first wore them I instantly became obsessed with the color in every form it was available. They are dark enough for my taste to not truly stand out too much on the bottom half and they coordinate with so many other colors effortlessly {my favorite is to mix with golds and nudes}. I was anxious to pair my new favorite color with my mirrored gold pumps and these dressed down pants fit the bill for the much dressier shoe. I have a feeling this will become one of my favorite go to looks for the fall.

What's your opinion on this color, is this hue for you???

Day to Date - Part Two - The Ensemble

So most work environments I know of or have been a part of do not allow a lot of fun fashion in the office. So what is a gal to do??? I thought about it and figured if you can grab one or two extra pieces on your way out the door you can easily transition a day time look into a night time with little effort. A swap of the blazer for an embellished vest and a tote for a clutch or even changing up your shoes to something with a little more life can make your base outfit really stand out. You could even layer the vest under the blazer and just remove the jacket after hours!

in the nude

I am absolutely obsessed with this neutral colored shoe that goes with everything. Last summer I was on a serious hunt for a pair of nude sandals for our honeymoon thinking if I just found one good pair to go with every outfit I would save so much room on packing but of course I had zero luck and therefor packed ten pairs of shoes for the two weeks of heaven. I was so thrilled to see that this season the trend is in back in full swing and the styles are a lot less slutastic (my slutastic definition = shoes that look like you work on a pole) then they were last year. The little lovelies that I discovered below are perfect with jeans, dresses and skirts - which pair is your favorite??? I know which is mine!
