Celeb Style Steal: Lorde

Hi everybody!

I'm starting a new series here on my blog, where I recreate celebrity fashions. First up, is the talented Lorde. Her style is very dark and grungy with hints of femininity. Today I'm recreating her outfit from her appearance at the Museum of Modern Art Film Benefit in New York City. To start off, the main piece is her black, long-sleeved dress. I actually combined a black long-sleeved t-shirt with a black babydoll dress for this look. As for accessories, add a silver pendant or choker. Lorde opted for black combat boots to toughen up the dress. I can't blame her, they're certainly more comfortable than heels! As for her crazy, luscious hair, I added in hair extensions and gave them a quick curl. To finish off the look, I added her signature purple lipstick into the mix.

I hope you enjoyed!

Princess Diaries

Hi everybody!

There's this dress. It's not an ordinary dress. It's bright pink and covered in beautiful embroidery all along the neck and hemline. It's the kind of dress that demands to be seen, and it makes me feel so fancy. It's such a bold piece that the accessories have to be minimal. Instead, I amped up the hair and makeup. I applied complementary gold shadow and made sure my skin looked flawless. As for the hair, I wore hair extensions for the first time and styled it in a half-up do. I really like these extensions, because they're soft and a bit lighter than my own hair, so it provides the subtle ombré I've always wanted. It also reminded me of how low-maintenance my current hair is. Overall, I just felt so glam taking these pictures, and I wish everyday could feel this amazing!

I hope you enjoyed!

Owl Be There

Hi everybody!

The star of today's post is this amazing owl maxi dress. There was a deal on dresses at Target, where you buy one and get one for half price. So, I knew I couldn't pass up this cute dress (you'll see the other dress soon enough). Plus, it's not too long, which is pretty impressive! It feels like a t-shirt, so it's very comfortable. Since it's black and white, I decided to accessorize with hot pink accents. I have these amazingly comfortable thick sandals that are the perfect neon color. I also slapped on some bright lipstick to match the rest of the accents.

I hope you enjoyed!

Walking in Wedges

Hi everybody!

A few weeks ago, I went on a little shopping spree and picked up two items I've wanted for a very long time: a casual button up dress, and simple wedges. I was very happy to find that the last chambray dress was both in my size, and on sale! I think the issue was that half of the button holes were too loose, but that was a quick sewing fix. I was also super pleased to find such classic and comfortable wedges. They have a lot of ankle support, which I really need with any type of heeled shoe. I also added silver and black accessories, like these super fun and glamorous sunglasses.

I  hope you enjoyed!

Bold in Burgundy

Hi everybody!

Today's outfit is something I'd wear out shopping. It's stylish and comfortable to wear, which is the perfect combo! The lovely burgundy skirt is actually a dress, I chose to throw a knotted tee over top of it. I like the dress because it is really silky and single layered, so there isn't too much fabric floating around. The accessories are almost all black, because when in doubt I elect to go dark.

I hope you enjoyed!

All Dolled Up With Nowhere To Go

Hi everybody!

Today I pulled out a lovely old dress I haven't worn in ages. I think it's only been worn to one or two events, such a shame it hasn't seen more action! It has a distorted paisley print that uses lots of autumnesque colors. I really like the cut, because it hits right at the floor and makes me look much taller than I am. Any added height I can get, I will take! I added dark accessories, but nothing too bold. The dress is stunning in and of itself. Also, this is my 100th post on this blog! Here's to 100 more!

I hope you enjoyed!

Turquoise and Caicos

Hey everybody!

Today's outfit is airy and casual. The main piece that I worked around is the gray maxi dress. Normally, I like to dress it up and add chunky jewelry. However, it's super comfortable and I figured I could dress it down a little with the open chambray top. Going along with the casual theme, I added tennis shoes and a large leather tote. For the jewelry, I threw on a few turquoise pieces because they looked nice with the gray dress material.

I hope you enjoyed!

Pearls and Polka Dots

Hey everybody!

Today's outfit is what I'd wear out to brunch, or out shopping with my friends. The gray top is actually a dress that is rather bland on its own. The bright blue polka dotted skirt adds a nice punch of color! I threw on these gorgeous pearls, as well. The flower isn't part of the necklace, it's a hair clip that I though would be a lovely addition to the piece. I also figured out how to curl my hair nicely with a heatless method, so I was having a ball shaking my head about!

I hope you enjoyed!

Crazy About Paisley

Hey everybody!

Today's outfit is really casual and cute. I absolutely adore paisley print, and wish I had more in my closet. The skirt shown here is actually a dress that I've had for absolute ages. The top portion is rather ill-fitting, so to fix that problem, I threw on a chambray button down and tied it at the waist. I toted a silver clutch, with matching bangles and hair clip.

I hope you enjoyed!
