Sexy Things are for You
I know this title is a bit weird, but bear with me.
I think a lot of us misunderstand what sexy things are for. There’s this common thought that wearing sexy things is somehow for someone else.
Let me correct that: sexy things are for YOU. They are for YOU to feel powerful. For YOU to feel beautiful. For YOU to feel feminine, soft, beautiful, womanly. Not for anyone else. I wore this out for date night last week, I have to say, I was feeling myself in this mesh illusion plu

Happy March, everyone! I love the first day of a new month – it makes me feel like we have a clean slate and a fresh start to make this month better than the last. It also means that we’re on the precipice of wedding season! Just like last year, I’ll be bringing you a wedding week (with a twist this time) – but for now, I’m sharing a look that is totally wedding guest appropriate. Or, you know, Sunday appropriate, because girl – #WearWhatYouWant maxi dress c/o simply be by li

Breaking Down Boudoir 2016
On Monday I shared a classy boudoir inspired look that is right in line with the spring trend. Today’s look is another variation of that look. Before I jump into my outfit, I want to talk a bit about how to make trends work for your personal style. When it comes to breaking down trends, it’s important to look at the trend as a whole and then figure out how it could work for you. Fashion is art and art is subjective. So, using the boudoir trend (that I love oh-so-much) as an e

1 item, 3 ways : Leather Plus Size Jeans
I have a confession to make. I’ve been wearing these Rockit pants a lot… way more than is socially acceptable. I said that in the most politically correct way possible. What I’m actually saying is: I’m so obsessed with these pants, I’ve worn them nearly every day since they turned up on my doorstep. They’re right up my alley: a perfect blend of edgy and feminine. In case the idea of a leather-like pant is a bit intimidating, allow me to show you three fab ways to wear them… n

The Glameratti
Last week was spent in the frigid heaven that is New York City. It was an amazing experience – I had a phenomenal time, and I can’t wait to share all of the stories and photos with you all! I’ll be giving you all of the goods later this week. Today, however, I wanted to share one of the outfits I wore to Lincoln Center for Fashion Week. It was roughly 2 degrees when we shot this, so I think it goes down in history as our fastest shoot on record! Nick was SUCH a trooper out th

Last week I tackled a fun, family appropriate, Thanksgiving look. This week, I wanted to share a going-out look that I was lucky enough to shoot at The Cosmopolitan hotel in Las Vegas last week. Think a holiday girl’s night out cocktail party – all glitz and glam and dancing into the whee hours of the morning. heels via zara | studio tulip skirt via eloquii | sequin tee via jcrew {similar} | coinpurse via kate spade {on sale!} I opted for purple to put a bit of a spin on holi

30PlusStyle: 50 Shades of Gray
I am so thrilled to be a part of the 30 Plus Style Crew! This is my first post with the lovely girls from 30Plus – and for my first challenge, I’m tackling 50 shades of gray.
I have to admit this challenge was right up my alley, being a lover of all-black-errythang. I have a ton of black in my closet, and if I have color, it tends to be of the charcoal variety. I love, love, love wearing the classic shade. Today, I’m offsetting all of these gorgeous moody shades of gray with
