Sequins and Sea Breezes: boots

Work It

2/10/2016

Happy Humpday loves! It's all downhill from here... does any one else get the New Found Glory song stuck in their head after saying that? No, just me? Ok cool. I don't know why but I have been so tired this week, it's been a struggle to get up every morning so I am definitely ready for the weekend (although with my luck I'll be wide awake at like 6 am on the weekend). Lately I've been layering clothing like a homeless person. It will be in the upper 30's when I leave for work, then in the mid 60's while I'm at work and back down in the upper 40's or low 50's when I leave work so Ive been trying to dress for the crazy temperature swings. Oh and did I mention that we've been having crazy winds on top of the weird temperatures? So there's that too!

Zippers & Houndstooth

Brrr it's chilly outside today! I was starting to get used our upper 70's, low 80's so this high of mid 50's is definitely throwing me off! Hopefully it's not freezing in the office today but that's what sweaters and blankets are for, right? Although I won't complain about the cooler temperatures for a day or two because it means I get to break out the thigh high boots and cozy sweaters!

Scarf Love

I am seriously loving the cooler weather here in Florida. Sadly, it's already on it's way out since the weather is supposed to get warmer again towards the end of the week. However I did take advantage of our three days of cooler temperatures by wearing as many fun "fall" pieces as I could. One thing I knew I had to break out was this blanket scarf!

Florida Floral

2/05/2014

My parents came out to visit me this week (they live in New Mexico and I live in Florida so we don't see each other often) and we decided to go canoeing through a state park not far from my house for something to do. I've been kayaking at this place several times and it's absolutely gorgeous so I couldn't wait to get out on the water and relax a bit. My parents were a bit skeptical about canoeing at first but I think they ended up having a blast and hopefully we'll go back out the next time they're in town. Since we were going to be outside I decided to be casual and comfy but still cute so I threw on a pair of jean shorts and this adorable sheer floral top from 4th & Ocean. I LOVE everything about this top, from the floral design, to the colors and especially the back which is lace and crochet that gives it a romantic and girly feel. To top off the look I decided to throw on a cute open knit fedora I got from Forever 21 last year (it's been my go to beach hat) to keep my hair out of my eyes and what little sun we had away from my face and my fringe boots (which I took off for canoeing obviously!) and another amazing creation from Vinca, the Florida state necklace. I had such an amazing time with my parents and I'm sad they're back home now but I can't wait to go back canoeing or kayaking this spring and summer and hopefully I'll be visiting them out west sometime this year!

Shades of Gray

1/28/2014

Ok, so it's not quite 50 Shades of Gray (is any one going to see that when it comes out February 14th??) but I did decide to go a bit monochrome with this outfit. I love faux leather so when I saw this 3/4 length faux leather sleeve sweater from H&M I immediately loved it. It's a lightweight sweater so it definitely isn't the best for those super chilly days but it's perfect for the Florida "winters" and a spring or fall day up north. I decided to continue with the faux leather look by pairing the sweater with my favorite faux fur leggings and a black and white aztec infinity scarf my mom got me for Christmas. I even went monochrome with my accessories, grabbing my gray purse and black and gold jewelry to go with it so my only pop of color was from my red lipstick (totally channeling my inner Taylor Swift here). I got this lipstick in one of my BirchBoxes and I absolutely love it. It's a matte finish with super vibrant hues that stays on forever! Even when I got home and wiped it off my lips were still slightly tinted red. Definitely a recommendation if you don't want to reapply your lipstick throughout the night!

Hello gorgeous weather this weekend! I couldn't bear to sit around inside with this amazing weather in mid January (especially now that college football is over and my Bengals lost already) so I took advantage of the sun and warmth and did every thing I could outside. I found this adorable open shoulder top at Forever 21 surprisingly for only $5.80! I didn't even know it was on sale until I went to the register and my total rang up as less than the shirt was marked as. Talk about a good shopping find! I decided to pair the shirt with a fun statement necklace (which the guy at Publix complemented me on by saying "I like your thing.... you know your necklace thingy.... I don't even know what that's called but saying I like your thing sounds really bad"), jeans and my H&M studded booties for a fun yet casual look perfect for running around doing errands in. Or playing corn hole in like I ended up doing later! :) Hope you all had an amazing weekend!

Comfy and Chic

1/10/2014

Some days I find it ironic that I started a fashion blog. I love getting all dressed up and being fashionable but I also love being comfy and casual. All throughout college I was a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl and maybe that was because it was college and I figured who was going to see me in class any way. This week I was definitely back in jeans and t-shirt mode though but who says being comfy and casual can't still be chic? I got this t-shirt from Sophie & Trey earlier this year and it is so unbelievably comfortable. It's super soft and the shirt tail hemline makes it flowy and comfortable tucked in or out. I love the fake Chanel logo/crossbones detail too! I decided to throw on my most comfortable jeans with it and these amazing knee high boots from H&M that I got on sale. They were originally $60 and they currently on sale for only $15! You'd be crazy not to check out H&M's sale, they have a ton of amazing stuff on sale for super cheap! top: sophie & trey {in store only, similar here} / jeans: hollister / boots: h&m / purse: michael kors /watch: michael kors / necklace: dogeared / bracelets: express, stella & dot, express

Baby, It's Cold Outside

1/08/2014

I would really appreciate it if Florida would make up it's mind whether it wants to be hot or cold. Two days ago it was in the 80's and now it's in the 40's. These crazy weather swings are really messing with my wardrobe (as well as my mind)! With the current weather drop it was time to break back out the sweaters and boots so I grabbed this adorable aztec embroidered sweater I found at Forever 21. To keep comfy I decided to pair it with my leather leggings (easily one of my favorite wardrobe staples) and these amazing studded boots I got from H&M. Oh did I mention I got them on sale? Only $15, marked down from $50! I couldn't pass these up! When it's cold out I usually don't accessorize too much, I know any bracelets I wear no one will see since I'm bundled up so I kept it simple with this outfit and let the aztec embroidery be my statement piece.

Floral and Fringe

1/03/2014

Lately I've been obsessed with these cardigan/kimono style tops. They look cute with jeans, shorts, skirts and dresses so they're literally the perfect compliment to any outfit. I got this adorable fringe kimono top for Christmas from Lulu's and I've been in love ever since. It's slightly long on me (I am really short) but it still manages to look cute with any outfit I pair it with. For this outfit, I decided to wear a simple tank dress from Sophie & Trey under the kimono and my Target taupe studded booties. The deep colors of the kimono really work with almost any color and the fringe gives it a very boho vibe. It's also very fun to twirl in (if you couldn't tell by one of my pictures) and is light and flowy. It's definitely a piece that can be worn in all seasons.

Faux Fur Fabulous

12/17/2013

We finally had another chilly day here in Florida (and by chilly I mean 66 degrees) so being the adopted Floridian that I am that meant it was time to bust out the faux fur! My friends back in Ohio probably find it hilarious that my blood has thinned out so much since I moved but I really do freeze if it gets below 70 now. I'm not usually big on faux fur however I fell in love with this scarf when I saw it. I love that it's not too over the top and can add something extra to a casual outfit. top: tobi / jeans: hollister / faux fur scarf: windsor / boots: cathy jean {old, similar here} / necklace: 4th & ocean {in store only, similar here} / lips: mac in lady danger
