THE EVERYGIRL.COM AND OLD NAVY

How to Elevate Your Weekend Fashion Basics! 

Styling two of your wardrobe staples- The Classic T-shirt and the easy denim shorts!

One of my most favorite websites TheEverygirl.com asked me to partner up with them again!!  This time I was asked to pick a T-shirt and a pair of denim for a fun little feature on Weekend Basics! If you know me and my style I could wear jean shorts everyday! Especially living in FL they become a wardrobe MUST have and a staple in the wardrobe!

See the full article here to check out what The Every Girl and writer Valerie Chen have to say about these 2 looks!!

Being 5 foot tall, I have to be selective on what trends I can wear and what I need to stay away from! When I saw the midi skirt start hitting the racks I thought to myself OMG that would be a maxi on me! Never ever will I be able to sport that feminine, ultra grily trend with these short little legs sticking out the bottom! But I was wrong! I normally would always wear these skirts with a pump to elongate my legs! However I couldn’t pass up these $59 sale shoes at Zara! And they actually worked! Making fashion more exciting and interesting is about doing things a little out of the box. Mixing a T-shirt with something a little more dressy and feminine like a midi skirt is what I call mixing your 2 elements. I love this white skirt because its leather and can easily transition into your Fall wardrobe! Oversized dramatic sunnies are everywhere this season and its just a fun way to pull an outfit together without spending a ton of $$!! The necklaces came in a pack of 2! Which I am seeing a lot of lately. I am NOT complaining! One in silver and the other in gold. I didn’t need to look any further to style my 2 looks because they were both right there together!

Jean shorts are a staple these days in everyone’s wardrobe! I like to dress mine up a little just so I don’t feel so sloppy! Again Im 5 foot tall with college softball legs! I always like to give myself a little height if Im heading off to a party where that would be appropriate. A simple white button down is also a MAJOR staple in the wardrobe and can literally be worn with anything and everything! I always do a little front tuck to show off my waist line, so Im wearing the shirt and it doesn’t look like its wearing me! Stacking jewelry is a must!! Going bold is always way more fun then playing it safe! After all it is Fashion!

EMMYS 2014 BEST DRESSED

A fashion stylist's most favorite time of year is HERE!! Award season is a time to see the best of the best gowns designers have to offer!! I love seeing these stars take risks and do something a little out of the norm! Here are a few of my favorites!!


KEN’S BACK IN TOWN!

Ok!! I have had the pleasure of seeing Ken Downing twice now… and I must say he is one of my most favorite fashion celebrity crushes! He always has the best attitude, cutest sense of humor and his Kenisms are ones you never forget! Neiman Marcus Orlando hosted a gorgeous brunch benefitting Dr. Phillips Center for Performing Arts!  Ken showed us that when it comes to jewelry, too much is never enough! Turquoise jewelry is one of his favorites and layering, stacking and adding is going to be the key to stylish this season! Ken takes “flare” to a whole other level!!! We saw 50 shades of grey, black and white classic looks, oversized sweatshirts and sweaters over fancy gowns, and pants under dresses! Ken also explained to the guests that “Fashion is a dream” and “Wearing one designer from head to toe is not current!” Lets just say.. If you get an invite to see this incredible human.. DONT miss it!! He is engaging, dynamic, and knows his stuff!! Thank you Neiman Marcus Orlando and Ken Downing for the special treat! Now for the gorgeous looks he styled himself!

ADIOS!!!

This week has been a little crazy with work and coming down with a cold!!! So Im dedicating this post to saying Adios BEECHchachos  and bringing on the weekend! This little T-shirt made me laugh so I thought it was most fitting to add to the wardrobe! I love paring it with jeans or jean shorts but also being able to mix it up with one of my favorite staples (The Floral Skirt)!! I might have a dozen at this point! This one is from Forever 21 and is a light stretchy cotton! If mixing colors, prints or patterns… try and stick to a black and white combo somewhere in the outfit! Statement jewelry is on trend right now and such an easy way to SPICE up an outfit! yes I said spice! Anywho, onto the weekend! Im having the honor of styling a Fashion Show with Teen Vogue and Macy’s tomorrow! However I wont be wearing this T-shirt! Not the most professional! Enjoy!!
