This is certainly one of my most outstanding coats in my closet. The most luxe, yet worn on always the most casual of days. A constant head turner. I’ve worn it numerous times throughout the winter, yet this is it’s first appearance on le blog…and with a bang. So, how the heck do you get away with these bold jewel tones?
It’s spring and my fabric of choice is always cotton. Light, blows in the wind, and super soft against my skin. It gets better with every single wash. It allows me to move, roll around in the sand, and breath.
Soleil is calling my name. The word alone makes me want to bust a move. Speak of which, the Tom Ford Soleil beauty collection is stunning. Everything from the shimmering tones to it’s stunning white packaging. You can tell I’m all about the red/orange lip (this one is Tom Ford’s NEOTROPIC). But yes, this little beauty collection has me thinking of summer. Coachella. Festivals. Hawaii. Days spent under the sun by the pool and nights driving through the desert. I’ve got tons of travel coming up which will allow me to bust out the full-on Hawaiian prints and coconut shells. Here is a city version of my idea of summer. Bold pink sunglasses. A popping bright lip. Blushing pink cheeks. Cropped Marni jackets. Bags that double as a pets. Little suede skirts. Only thing missing is the ocean and a good book. I’ve got one word for you and say it with me: soleil.
Here it one more look from NYFW and can you believe the whole look is under $250? It was part of my collaboration with Amazon’s Style Code Live, and it was so good, I had to share it on the blog. I forget sometimes how heels make me feel. I used to only wear heels to castings (oh, the dread!) before slipping them off the moment I left the building to toss them in my bag. Towering over everyone used to scare me. I was long, lanky, and my confidence only showed what I was walking the runway, playing a different character. I guess I wasn’t so bad for a 15 year old. Now I have the confidence as a 5’10” woman to wear heels anytime I want. Sure I’m towering over just about every 6 foot guy in the city, but it still feels empowering. Oh, and of course your legs will look amazing. Luckily, the block heel trend doesn’t kill my feet at all. I actually prefer little dresses and stockings with the perfect block heel. I kept the rest of my look and the color palette sweet and neutral. A tiny, cotton shift dress and faux leopard coat. The beret and sheer fishnets tie it all together. Yep, and it’s all super affordable and won’t break the bank. Pieces to layer and wear over and over again. Now isn’t that a breath of fresh air?
