Look 1(left): The outfit it perfect for a day when you have commitments and errands to run but plan to hit the beach after. You know, those Saturdays or Sundays when you need to go grocery shopping yet you do not want to miss out on the sunshine?

*Style Tip* The key to this look is tucking in the front of the tunic into your shorts, for a Halle Berry chic laid back feel.


Look 2(right): The outfit is sophisticated and elegant, the leggings however off some edge. Wear for a dinner with the girls or your significant other.  


*Style Tip* If you feel the look is too conservative, pair with black shorts instead and tuck in the tunic in the front. Do remember not to go too shorts, you still want to remain classy.

Friday Find: Printed Pumps!

After cruising through a few magazines and website's, I stumbled upon this dynamic duo! Printed pumps seem to be the new colored pump for Spring 2012. I am just in major hearts with all the floral prints that have graced us with their presence in those display windows at the mall. 

Not to mention Miu Miu got a little funky with the seagull print on their platform pumps. I won't bore anymore and just show off some of my favs! Enjoy!

Moderne hearts Adeline Wedge Pump

The holiday season might be over, but winter is still present.. for the most part that is. I recently got my hands on these lovely Michael Antonio Adeline Platform. First and foremost you must know, they must be the most comfortable shoes I have worn. Stylish and comfortable they have become my go-to shoes, wearing them with leggings, jeans or skirts. 

Pair with leggings to give the illusion of legs for days (ideal if you are short like me)

Pair with short socks

Recommendation: wear with bright colors

Pair with knee highs

Recommendation: neutral socks for a more sophisticated look, bright colors for something daring and fun

The perfect Moderne pieces to pair with Adeline shoes...

Monday Mash-up!

Since we skipped out on the Friday Find & Sunday Style, I am bringing you both to start your week off! After a long weekend of shenanigans & relaxation, we all deserve to take the time and check out the cutest printed blazers & a styling featuring Wildfox Couture. 

First up, we have the oh-so-gorgeous and fun printed blazers. They seem to be everywhere now-a-days and they won't be going anywhere anytime soon. You can turn a plain look into something exciting by just throwing on a floral blazer or something with a little more edge & flair. Check out some of our favorite printed blazers below...

We suggest keeping it low-key & mixing these fun prints with a simple black tank or neutral colored dress. You don't want to take the eye away from these amazing pieces! 

Next up, we have our Sunday Style featuring Wildfox Couture, Naven & Michael Antonio (you can find these pieces at ShopModerne).

Pair the Wildfox Couture cool-relaxed look with the upbeat Naven aesthetic to create a look that you can rock out! Keep the attention on the statement tee by downplaying the shoes in the form of a black pump or bootie. Add a hint of color with a simple necklace in either blue or green. 

Items featured above:

1. Wildfox Couture Hippie Crewneck - $62

2. Naven Sequin Mini-skirt - $154

3. Black Booties from Michael Antonio- price varies (endless.com)

With the New Year approaching, we wanted to highlight one of our favorites dresses from Naven that we just couldn't live without! We kept it simple this week with the Cut-Out Dress in Vegas Blue from Naven and suggested a few small accessories. 

The dress itself is already a show stopper, so we didn't want to take away from that at all! You can always throw on a slouchy blazer if the weather permits, and some great suede booties. Here we want to keep it sparklin' and have the Michael Antonio Keme Black Glitter Pu. 

So, what will you be wearing this NYE?

Weekly Style: Charlie Jade

What would a girl do without the essentials during the winter weather? 

I know that I would be completely lost with my 3 basic essentials- 

a comfy romper, a sleek blazer and a stylish bootie. 

For this week's styling, we are featuring the Charlie Jade "Amy Romper" in Dark Green. To turn this casual romper into a classy outfit, layer it with a off-white blazer and add some gold accessories. To fight off that cold winter weather, throw on some opaque tights! 

To finish it off, put on those Michael Antonio booties and hit the town!

How To Style...

Last week I choose items I was planning to buy with the amazing 40% off Black Friday sale. Now I am giving a few pointers on how to style the items. Check it out below and feel free to leave your comments! 

Show Me Your Mumu Leopard Blouse

One of the best things about this blouse, besides being leopard, is it has versatility. You can wear it during spring, fall, winter, or summer.

Great with leggings and colorful wedges, shorts and flat sandals, or a maxi skirt and tan wedges.

Remember, don't be afraid of color even if it's just a splash.



Lovers + Friends Sequin Sway Dress

The ultimate party dress.
Sequins. Backless. Mini. Enough said.

While the dress is amazing alone adding something simple can go a long way. If you are wearing to a work event and feel it shows too much pair with a structured black blazer and some bold stilettos.

Wearing it for New Years? Add some emerald earrings and peach lipstick. Remember, peach is a neutral so it won't clash with the emerald.


Have fun putting together outfits and be confident... it's the best accessory!
