Right To Bare Arms
We’re well into the fall season and the weather is finally getting nippy. Faux fur vests are the perfect opportunity to bare arms! Faux fur vests are one of the staple pieces I love for layering in the fall. They’re not only functional, but can add so much flavor to your ensemble creating a chic and flirty statement. These vests are perfect for the transitioning weather like we’re currently experiencing in the eastern U.S., and can also be worn well into winter. Providing both style and warmth, they’re easily paired with almost anything. These vests are also easy to get into and out of making them ideal for traveling. While they appear to look chunky, they’re generally lightweight which is an added benefit. I love that there’s a variety of shapes, sizes, and textures available to choose from, which means there’s a faux fur vest style out there for everyone! 🙂 Photography by: Sharon Bui What I Am Wearing: //Faux Fur Vest// LIKEtoKNOW.it //Blouse// Bailey44 //Fringe Skirt// Ross //Handbag// (Little Stam) Marc Jacobs //Booties// (Analy) ShoeDazzle Love, The Ultimate...
Wrap Around Me
As the weather transitions, I become a sucker for shawls and scarves. This wrap around me is one of the prettiest thrifted vintage shawls I’ve ever seen.. **catches breath**. . This is a such a simple yet functional look to achieve. Just wrap the shawl around your shoulders tucking it under your arms just above your elbow. I love this elegant look over a dress. It not only adds vibrant color, but keeps you warm without hiding your awesome outfit.

I’m FALLin For You
Fall is FINALLY here and although I’ve loved summer, I couldn’t wait to embrace the fall season and all that it has to offer. One of the greatest reasons why I love fall is because I love being able to wear my boots. What helped me really kick into the fall mood this year was my new JustFab multi-tier fringe boots. They absolutely stole my heart! Because these boots are SO badass, I decided my outfit had to be nothing short of the same. My styling choice was somewhat of a mixture of a masculine and feminine look, blended into a cohesive style, playing with materials, textures, colors and lines. As you can see, I paired my masculine fedora hat with a delicate blouse, added the leather skirt, and finally the fabulous burgundy fringe boots. The key to this entire look is in the balance. Happy Fall everyone! Let’s enjoy the crisp air, pretty leaves, football, coffee, pumpkins, sweaters and definitely the boots. And let us not forget to always be our own color, no matter what the rest of the world looks like!

Her Grandmother’s Style: Timeless Fashion
While growing up, I regularly traveled to vintage and consignment shops with my grandmother, mother, and sisters. It didn’t take long for my sisters and I to quickly became lovers of timeless fashion. Beyond my sisters, I had never met someone who loves vintage fashion as much, or more as we do until I was introduced to my friend Mary Liles aka Memsy, last year. Once I met her, the connection was instant and it seems as if we had been knowing each other longer. Everything about Mary is absolutely amazing! Her kind heart, bad-ass style, uniqueness, being well-traveled, are just a few of the reasons why she’s freaking FABULOUS! With that said, she’s exactly the type of friend I’m blessed to have in my corner. Even her cat “Ruby” is freaking amazing! Mary is a vintage dealer and her baby is Boot & Trunk (Follow her on Instagram). She often holds private and public trunk shows where you can find the most amazing vintage from her travels. I could go on forever about my friend, but I should probably get to the real reason for this blog post. Today is Mary’s birthday, and I’m extremely honored to share an outfit that belonged to her grandmother. How cool is that? I sat down with Mary and she shared a little about her grandmother with me. She did not work and was from a well off family in Charlotte, NC. We had a wonderful time and it was great learning about her family tree and the history of this outfit. It was easy to gather that Mary’s grandmother loved fashion, had...
Wine and Design! Day to Night Look
Have you ever had to quickly go from a day look to a night look in a flash? Today I’m providing a few tips on how to achieve this goal in a matter of seconds and look fabulous. Take a look at this dress. It’s perfect for a day look. You could also add a blazer if you want to wear it to work. For a casual look I paired the dress with tribal earrings, a choker necklace, and a printed clutch. To quickly transform this dress into an evening look for a hot date, I added a dramatic duster which provides a romantic look. I swapped into more formal accessories. The entire change only took seconds. Don’t forget you can bring another pair of gorgeous heels which can also dramatically change your look.

I remember at a very young age being mesmerized in my mother’s closet, and trying on her clothes which quickly became a hobby. As I grew older I not only enjoyed enhancing my look, but that of others, so the natural fit was to become a Fashion Stylist.
