Wing Tips






Wearing: Forever 21 button up, Jeans from a local boutique, Collar tips from Ebay

I have been waiting for these collar tips forever to come in the mail, but I should expect that when things come from China on Ebay. Anyways, I think they are the coolest things ever and look amazing on a button up, especially this one which I just happened to be wearing when I received them. They go so well with the gold buttons on the shirt and just give such a polished look.
About these jeans, I have been loving leather pants but sometimes I think they are too much for just a day at school so I've been loving coated jeans or jeans that give off a leather appearance. I have one pair from H&M that I have yet to wear, but this pair looks just as great my favorite part is the gorgeous floral pattern on them which is so subtle but makes the whole outfit.

Topshop for Nordstrom

Recently, one of my favorite stores collaborated with another one of my favorite stores. Topshop and Nordstrom. Topshop defines my style so well, trendy and a bit edgy while still maintaing the classic and polished look. Nordstrom always has been one of my favorite stores also, the range in clothing and shoes is beyond me. With three full levels of everything from the BP department to salon shoes you are bound to find something. I immediately fell in love with Topshops collection at Nordstrom so today I picked out three pieces from it: a jacket, skirt and a pair of overalls, and styled them.
 The first piece I chose was this anorak style camo jacket, this type of jacket may have to be one of my favorite trends for fall. You just have to be careful when wearing it because it could come off as a bit too masculine sometimes but when styling it too girly it could look awkward. So, I paired it with a neutral color scheme but feminine silhouettes like this leather circle skirt and mesh top. 
 The second piece was this beautiful metallic skirt, this outfit could work for day or night. My mind went right to a peplum when I saw this skirt, however something over the peplum top would amp up this outfit even more. It's hard to layer with a peplum so I chose this cropped leather jacket, not taking away from the peplum.
The last piece are these great overalls. Overalls are so easy to style in the summer but in the fall and winter it could be a bit hard so I chose a simply burgundy button up for underneath threw over a gorgeous fur vest. To make the outfit even more "warm" you could put on a pair of tights or knee socks.

Fall Must-Haves: Shoes

Hey guys! So today I thought I'd do a post just about the shoes I wear the most for the fall time. I narrowed it down to these 6 which either happen to be ankle boots or sneakers, two trends that I am obsessed with right now, obviously... so here we go:

 My docs! I love these babies so much, I'm actually happy I rarely wore them last year because this year I am crazy about them and they look good as new.


I recently bought these at Aldo and am obsessed with the studs on them, they're not too loud but add just the right touch. They're also a great height, I don't like too high of a heel. 


I purchased these Sam Edelman booties last Spring and cannot believe how many knock-off versions I'm seeing this year so a fraction of the cost. Overall this boot is a really cute shoe, and comfortable too.

These boots from Topshop are probably my favorite, they give off a very "doc" appearance actually but still have a classic/moto style to them. 


These Jeffrey Campbell HOMG's are just the best, I have a separate post on them because of that... Go check it out! 

These plain white converse work well with anything and I love the all white factor about them, they don't dress down an outfit in my opinion.
