Smokin’

Hello Loves, This red jumpsuit is Smokin’!  A jumpsuit should be a once piece staple in every woman’s closet because they’re easy to wear, comfortable, flattering and stylish.  One of the things I really love is the flexibility.  You can also dress them up or down depending on the occasion. When selecting a jumpsuit, keep the following tips in mind: Purchase the right length, and select the right shoes.  If the jumpsuit is too long, have it hemmed to fit the shoes you will wear the most. Make sure it defines your waist.  If you have a little extra weight in your waist, I suggest adding a belt which will emphasize it more and make you look slimmer.  You can also select a jumpsuit with a higher waistline to solve this issue. Buy the right fit and size.  If you’re fuller on top try a looser style.  If you’re fuller on the bottom, select a jumpsuit with a wide leg.  If you’re short, look for a jumpsuit with more of a narrow silhouette. Buy a solid color.  A single color elongates the body, and creates a flattering looking profile. This jumpsuit exudes confidence and undeniable glam.  The ruffle and one shoulder is so feminine and flirty creating a look that’s polished, put-together, and sophisticated.  Be prepared to stop traffic in this jumpsuit because it’s just that haute!

Top It Off with a Bow

Happy Monday everyone! Today I’m sharing this Pink Striped Bow Off The Shoulder blouse by Romwe.  I love how feminine it is, which means you can glam it up or wear it casual as shown below.  I chose to pair it with an embroidered denim maxi skirt, but I can envision pairing it with a black pencil skirt. The top is currently on sale for $10.99, so I’m sure they won’t last long.  How else would you style it?

Ringing In Monday

Happy Monday everyone, I’m ringing in today in this beautiful Blue Striped Off The Shoulder High-low Blouse from Romwe.  This top is so light and airy, and is only $17.89.  It’s definitely going to be on wardrobe repeat this summer.  I paired it with white skinny jeans, but it would look equally amazing with a pencil skirt for date night, or denim frayed shorts for a more relaxed day. If you follow me on Instagram, I’m sure you can tell I have a thing for gingham lately. 🙂  The latest addition to my collection is these gorgeous blue and white pumps just because they were too adorable not to have.  Gingham is a vintage classic, and I’m so thrilled to see it make it’s way back as a summer trend.     Photography by:  GloryRoze Photography [show_shopthepost_widget id=”2712631″]   What I Am Wearing: // Blue Striped Off The Shoulder High-low Blouse // Romwe // The Icon Ankle Skinny Jeans in White // Joe’s Jeans // Pumps // (Elizabeth) ShoeDazzle // Straw Bag // (Vintage)   Love, The Ultimate... read more

Get Your Frills On

Hey Dolls! How was your weekend?  Mine was great.  It was a great chill weekend filled with time spent with girlfriends on Saturday, and a delicious brunch yesterday.  What more could you ask for on the weekend, right?  Today I’m sharing this cute little darling romper.  This whole male romper talk in the media lately had me pulling out my rompers.  I love them for a casual look by the way, and there’s one for every body shape. What attracted me to this one was the open shoulder ruffle detail, and floral print.  It’s just feminine and girly when you want to be relaxed but feel extra pretty.  Paired with these ruffle heels, it was perfect for a summer day of frills.     Photography by:  GloryRoze Photography [show_shopthepost_widget id=”2696949″]   What I Am Wearing: // Romper // Ross // Florence Frill Detail Heel In Blush Faux Suede // EgoShoes  (Similar:  Shirah in Blush by ShoeDazzle) // Handbag // Diseño by Imelda   Love, The Ultimate Fashionista... read more

To the MAXX

Happy Tuesday Babes! Today I’m sharing a gorgeous maxi dress from ROMWE that I’ve fallen in love with.  Maxi dresses are always great for summer because they’re versatile.  You can slip them on effortlessly, and they travel well (meaning most don’t require ironing).  I love how they can be suited for various occasions from lounging at the beach, to dressing them up for a more formal event. This beautiful bold striped maxi is extremely light and comfortable.  As you can see, I changed the look and mood of the dress by adding accessories such as my head wrap, bold jewelry, and colorful clutch from The Flourish Market. If you want to be casually stylish, look feminine, be comfy and elegant, consider adding this beautiful maxi dress to your wardrobe.
