rompin' around

Wearing: Zara Romper (similar) & Heels (similar) | Rachel Rachel Roy Faux Fur Vest | Giorgio Armani Sunnies (similar) | c/o W118 by Walter Baker Purse

If it's not obvious, it was extremely windy in the making of this style post. Not only that, but it was extremely cold.. the things I do for you! But, a windy, cold day will never come between my rompers & I, that's the truth. There really should be no reason why you can't rework the clothes you wear in the summer in the winter, including those cute, summer dresses & those floral printed rompers. I snagged this romper for under $30 & instantly pictured it with opaque tights & my new tracked sole heels. I think a leather jacket would have completed the look, but I could barely move once I forceed my arms, & these sleeves, into one. When in doubt, wear (faux) fur!

I hope y'all are staying warm.. shop my look below!

a warm winter

Wearing: Marc New York Shearling Jacket via NIC+ZOE Warehouse Sale (similar) | UO BDG Shirt | Anthropologie Pendant Necklace | Elizabeth & James Jeans (similar) | Sam Edelman Heels (similar) | c/o W118 by Walter Baker Bag | American Apparel Beanie

Have you ever been to a warehouse sale? Well, I hadn't.. until I got word of NIC+ZOE's in December that my mother insisted we go to at, ahem, 6 AM. There I was, half asleep, pushing through dozens of women scouring through boxes of clothes, hoarding items like they're cat ladies. That day was a day that I was not in the mood to shop. You know those days? They suck, but sometimes I'm just not feeling it. But, when I spotted this Marc New York shearling faux leather bomber on the rack for $60, I grabbed it, held it, & loved it. Here I am, rocking it in the middle of January in surprisingly warm weather.. despite the snow on the ground.

Jackets like these.. leather, bomber, suede, fringe, shag.. are the perfect investment peices when the air gets crisp or the artic gets warm. Not to mention, they instantly make you look cool. I could easily pass as Jax Teller's wife, no?

Shop my look below & get pumped because so many exciting things are coming to the blog!

the shag

The word shaggy will always remind of "It Wasn't Me".. no?

I purchased this Free People Faithful Shaggy Jacket last month (for full price, woof..) for a photo-shoot but am so happy I did.. they are becoming all the rage! Not only are they warm, but they're funky.. & us girls who like to take fashion risks love funky. The good news is they are popping up everywhere, in every color & at every price range. I love that they look as equally chic dressed up with heels, dressed down with jeans, or even thrown on top of your boyfriend's graphic printed shirt.

My point is, if you don't care if people stare, I say you purchase one. Shop my favorites below!

Don't stop, won't stop.. giving you more of what you want: men's fashion! As much as this blog is focused on my personal style & women's fashion, men need love, too.. especially when it comes to clothes. So, be prepared to see a lot more fashionable men popping up on this blog in the near future.

There's a good chance that most men in your life don't know how to dress, or don't care to dress well. You'd be surprised how simple changes in his wardrobe can benefit him, making him look (& hopefully act) mature, confident, & approachable - click here to see a prime example! That is why companies such as Trunk Club are growing in popularity, giving those guys at home more time to watch football instead of aimlessly walking around the mall. I've heard about Trunk Club but have never really had a reason to explore their services.. blame it on single life. Believe it or not, David, a Trunk Club stylist, & I connected on Instagram & decided right then & there that a collaboration was necessary. After swapping a few ideas, I decided to walk through the Trunk Club process with my hunky man friend JR to give you ladies (& gents) an honest review.

Trunk Club is a men's clothing service where stylists, like David, hand pick men's designer clothes & send them right to your doorstep. The best part is, you buy what you keep.. & you are not required to buy anything! After filling out a quick bio on Trunk Club's website on JR's personality, style preference, & sizing, I received a phone call from David to discuss JR's style in more detail. Within days I received an online look book showing me what David picked for JR. From there, I selected which items I saw JR rocking & passed on those I couldn't see him wearing. Within days, a box trunk was delivered to my doorstep. I was impressed with the amount of items, their quality, & the variety of options - from blazers to button-ups to socks! I then forced JR to model the wardrobe for me in the freezing cold but safe to say.. he was stylin', thanks to Trunk Club. <<enter thumbs up emoji here>>

No better time to make your man friend look good than a new year. Hop on over to Trunk Club to begin the process with David directly, & a huge thank you to David & JR on one awesome collaboration.
