Zoe Inspired

I love Rachel Zoe as I said in my post before. I adore wearing my flare bell bottoms like Rachel does and they are typically my favorite jeans for Spring and Summer other than crops and rollers. Anyways take a peek at one of my basic and favorite outfits to wear. 

 These jeans are sooo long and high waisted. SO 70's so much love.

My top is so soft and from Urban Outfitters. Perfect for cool Spring days

or for a night on the beach.

 The sleeves roll up which is great for my monkey arms.

 The jeans are Current/Elliott I purchased them @ 

Ashby's Boutique & Denim Lab

 My sister is amazing and has this super rad hat that she let me borrow.

 I think it is so major and so cute especially with sunnies.

 Excuse the dog hair on my jeans, I was cuddling her pooch. 

My shoes are Vince Camuto and have incredible stones and weaving intricately. 

Oh the hat is also from Forever 21!

Special thanks again to my talented and brilliant sister at Climer Photography! Take a look at her page, blog, and DIY's you will love it all! Check back again this Sunday for an update!

It's ZOE Spring

I am so in love with Rachel Zoe's Spring 2013 collection, I seriously cannot get enough of it. I think each piece is so tasteful and spot on for so many different women of all styles and ages. I think it is so maj and it completely defines her as a designer and stylist. I adore this woman and this collection so much. I would love to have a life like hers! Ah! Anyways, I thought I would share some of my favorite pieces from her collection with you guys and see what your opinions are! 

This maxi dress is everything. I am so in love with this piece I will probably purchase it. It is simple,elegant, and ever so chic. It also has a romper counterpart which is quiet lovely on the right body and personality. 

I love the idea of this look so much, it would look really awesome layered with other pieces as well. I am totally and completely in love with this pale blue. In Rachel's words maj.

This is so WOW. The sheer and flow makes me want to hop on a plane and fly to a tropical island and stay for a while. So perfect for spring and summer, from parties to everyday to events this is a perfect go to dress. 

LOVE. This is separates and they make such a statement together and are so bold yet subdued in color. I saw a photo of Rachel rocking the top and was absolutely in love with how it flows.

Pale pink and layers! I am in heaven. This look is so cute and flirty- love it. 

AH sequins are a girls best friend? I cannot wait to see a celebrity like J.Lo wear this piece. Super rad for any event it is a WOW piece. I even think the colors could carry into fall quite nicely.

Gray is such a good hue, I think this looks so fab together as well as worn separately.

I am loving this little white dress. I love that the sleeves are three-quarters length almost because in spring there are plenty of chilly nights, at least in the Midwest.

 This battles to be my favorite look from the Spring 2013 collection. I love the flowing sheer white top with the more hard sequin bottom. I would love to have a reason to buy this piece. I am in Spring fashion love.

 

And of course she looked fabulous at her own show! 

I loved all of Rachel's looks for 2013, these are just a few of my favorite. I love Rachel and her style! Words cannot describe how talented Rachel is... its bananas. I cannot wait to see her future collections!! You can purchase Rachel Zoe's looks on her website, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstroms, Saks Fifth Avenue, mytheresa, Piperlime, Bloomingdale's, and Shopbop!

Check back later this week to see my daily take on Rachel Zoe's personal style.

Sail into Spring

It is finally nice and almost 80 degrees today! 

Which means two things: my convertible top will be down

 and Taylor Swift will be blasting at some point. 

So my outfit for today's post is Taylor Swift inspired! 

Hope you enjoy!

Started off with my hair down but it was soon too hot! 

 I adore high waisted shorts. They are my amazeballs in Spring. These are Forever 21! 

 Peter Pan collars are so refreshing, I think that they are very Taylor Swift and classic.

 My sunglasses are from Target, they are super easy!

 And as always red lip stick by Kate Moss.

 The belt is also from F21. Braided belts are super easy and awesome for knotting.

 I cannot stop making silly faces, particularly kissy faces lately. I'm weird. My nail-polish is Essie- Sandy Tropez and goes with everything.

I love saddle shoes and these are from Urban Outfitters and are shades of blue. Super comfy.

 Kisses! 

Be ware posts are going to be few and far between during finals week! 

Happy finals month to all and may the odds be ever in your favor! ;)

Special thanks once again to my amazing sister, Climer Photography. I hope you all look at her beautiful photographs and blogs!

pretty in polka dots

It is finally getting to be warm outside and I absolutely love it! Polka-dots are so cute and classic. I love feminine and hard mixed together and I think that these two tops one being a sweater and one being a t shirt are a wonderful way to mix feminine and hard while looking classic and a light sweater is perfect for these spring days that aren't quite ready to be sleeveless or jacket-less. Anyways, back to my look from toes to head.

Starting with my shoes. I adore wearing loafers, they are so comfortable. These are black and velvet from Urban Outfitters super comfortable and easy to wear. 

The shorts are my favorite for spring/summer they are from the gap and fit really well, rarely ever are they loose or sagging by the end of the day and truly maintain their shape. 

 The sweater is Forever 21 and is really light weight which is awesome for spring even though it runs rather short. 

 The collared shirt is also Forever 21 and is white with awesome cap sleeves. 

 The collar is also studded and buttons at the nape of the neck.

 There is also an adorable keyhole where it buttons!

 My favorite cat eye black glasses are also Forever 21.

Sorry about the delays in posts, it is almost finals week. Hopefully during the summer I will be able to post more! :) 

Special Thanks to Climer Photography my lovely, hilarious, beautiful, amazeballs sister who is the genius behind the camera and also the reflection in my glasses, she has an incredible business and wicked awesome blogs!

Re-eeh-eeh-eeh-eheh-edddd {red}

Is it Spring yet? It has been feeling a bit of spring and fall in the Midwest, therefore my wardrobe has been a direct reflection. I love stripes horizontal, vertical, diagonal, I love them all. Except Pinstripes, I'm not a pimp. And quite like any 90's baby, I love me some denim jackets- sometimes they just make your look ten times better. I like messy hair, partially because its easy and I have a tendency of sleeping in and partially is because its fun. What is the best accessory when you don't want to over accessorize? RED LIPSTICK.

My dress actually has sleeves on it that are three quarter length which is awesome for my monkey arms and it is the perfect length for me. (I'm 5'9"ish, makes it hard to buy short dresses.)

Dress: Urban Outfitters, BDG and also has three buttons down the left side. It is like wearing pj's super comfortable. 

Embrace the humidity and messy. Messy hair, smudged eyeliner, and even smudged lips.

 I am always wearing this necklace. Karma is such a funny thing.

 This red lipstick is my favorite, it is Kate Moss from Target and is Red 01. It doesn't taste icky like most lipsticks when you accidentally lick or bite your lips and it lasts almost a full work day.

I honestly just like this picture of me because I feel like a superhero. 

I love my denim. This specific jacket is Abercrombie vintage and its slightly distressed which is why I love it so much.

 I am all about comfort and saving money, these knock off ked's/van's are from target and are only $13. They are easily my favorite shoes. Making the perfect statement without being too much or over the top. 

Sorry for the delay in posts, its almost finals week! Eeeek!

Special thanks to Climer Photography my gorgeous and talented sister!
 Look at her pretty pictures and DIY's I love her. 
K Thanks!

Mid-Week Moody.

This Midwest weather is sooo confusing. This week it has been cold, rainy, and now 74 degrees. I am going back to basics. SO I will continue to drink my Starbucks and get into a caffeine happy place. Everyone needs a good basic look they can throw on and feel comfortable and confident that they still look great. 

Basic black t-shirts are my favorite 

 This shirt is from Urban Outfitters, Day Dreamer and 

can be worn slightly off the shoulder. 

Sunglasses were a $5 find from Forever 21.

 Bracelet once again Flower Merchant.

 My beloved leopard print flats are from Target and the backs have gold studs that I love, adding the perfect flare to a classic flat.

Coral Mossimo purse from Target. 

It can be carried wrist style or with shoulder strap

 to make it cross-body or shoulder length. 

 I adore skinny jeans. This particular pair from Big Star I decided to roll. 

Check back for more of my looks Friday :)
