Trend Alert! Neon: How it’s Transformed Over Time & How to Style!
History of Neon: The neon clothing trend initially filled the closets of the most fashionable icons in the 80s. Prior to this decade, neon had been prominent in avant-garde looks, but made its way into every day looks through windbreakers and jelly shoes by the 80s. My own mother reflects on her teenage years and recalls wearing neon sports bras under slouchy, different neon colored, tees. Into the 90s, neon branched into the makeup world and became the attire of the underground rave scene in New York and London. Fast forward to 2012, during my middle school years, neon came back in splashes and was rocked by my friends and…

Trend Alert: Hats!
These hats have been super popular this year and while I am uncertain about their actual name since so many stores call them different things (boy hats, fiddler hats, page hats, cabby hats, etc), I love them!

Today I will be sharing my picks as well as four different examples of how I would style them. Shop every look by clicking on the photo in the slide show below the collage.

Fall Look Book Part 1//Styling L.L. Bean Boots!
Today I am sharing part one of my fall look book! This look book contains more “preppy” style clothing and each outfit is paired with L.L. Bean Boots, which is why I have also titled it “Styling L.L. Bean Boots!” If you prefer videos over blog posts, this look book is on YouTube too! Click Here To Watch In this first look, I am wearing this popover plaid flannel from J.Crew Factory that I scored on Black Friday last year! It is a thicker flannel material and has a half-zipper, so it is styled more like a light weight jacket- perfect for layering! I could not find the exact flannel,…

How to Style White Pants After Labor Day + Where this “rule” Originated in the First Place!
What do you mean I cannot wear white after labor day? I just bought these pants!? Where did this rule even come from!?! Based on my research from People Magazine and Charlotte Willis’s post on News.co.au , this rule is ancient (and therefore irrelevant in 2017???). According to Charlotte Willis, this rule started in the early 1900s. You know, when women were only expected to be house wives and discrimination still existed? Not in 2017, with the world as accepting of differences as it currently is. Anyways, wearing white meant a lot back in those days. Willis states that wearing white not only signified that you were wealthy, but that you…

How to Style Birkenstocks
Whenever I was considering purchasing Birks, I was hesitant because I did not know how I would style them or if they would match many of my outfits. There were a few outfits that I could definitely see myself wearing Birkenstocks with, like these: Babydoll Top Hollister Jeans Lace Up Top But those are only two outfits out of my entire closet, which is no where near a large enough statistic to justify purchasing a pair of $100 shoes. So I took a look at my closet and thought harder about the outfits I could pair Birkenstocks with. I soon realized that Birkenstocks are the perfect shoe to pair with…

3 Different Ways to Dress up Jeans for School
When a follower requested this post, I was a little stuck. I guess to me, jeans are sort of dressy. Do not get me wrong, some jeans are definitely casual. What I mean is, I pair denim with everything and anything. Maybe it is just because of the part of the South I have grown up in. I believe that jeans can be paired with any top, but today I will share my most dressed up looks that are paired with jeans! The jeans I am sharing in this post are Abercrombie High Rise Ultra Skinny Jean Leggings and are on sale for only $30! As I mentioned in my…

Wearing Lilly Pulitzer at Night!
When I think of styling pieces at night time I tend to think darker, tighter, sleeker. You know what I mean, shorter skirts, leather leggings, over the knee boots, low cut tops, higher heels, black, black, black. When someone requested I style a Lilly Pulitzer piece from day to night, I was stuck. I stood in my closet staring at my Lilly wondering how I could follow all the rules of styling for night time with these bright, floral pieces. And them I remembered- I don’t follow the “rules of fashion.” If you read my My Basic Fashion Rules, then you know that there are few rules in fashion I…
