Fashionista Friday: Short Booties

I am pretty much obsessed with finding the perfect short, thick or flatter heeled bootie. Isabel Marant is known for her amazing designs but I cannot afford $650+ shoes now or anytime in the near future. Seeing the booties on these fashionable ladies makes me green with envy ;) I think that the bootie is the PERFECT Fall transition shoe. I can pair it with shorts and long sleeved blouses as the nights start to get chillier and with leggings and chunky knits come Winter. I am on the hunt. If you see anything like these shoes for a great price in the near future...holler! Please and Thank you!

 I LOVE this look. Denim on denim with taupe booties. I would so copy this!

 I really LOVE this oversized tee/dress. Great way to sass up a basic.

 This outfit anyone can wear (minus the Hermes belt. That I would DIE to have) because we all have these pieces in our closet. Perfect for Fall transition!

 These booties are a little higher than I am looking for but I love the outfit and the leopard scarf (shocker :))

 Winter Uniform. Military jacket, white tee and cuffed jeans! Comfy chic.

 I adore Rachel Bilson and this look. I love the tweed jacket with the over sized blouse and cut offs. Sassy!

 LASTLY, if I found a pair NOW I can wear them in the Summer time!!! Striped silk blouse and GRAY cut offs (I need to make me a pair of these!). My favorite look to emulate right now!

What do you think of these looks? Is there an item you are lusting over? 

Happy Friday, Fashionistas!

Have a fabulous weekend!

XOXO 

Fashion/Outfit Inspiration

I can scour the internet for days and not get tired of looking at pictures, fashion spreads, bloggers and clothing websites. I love pretty things, pretty people and pretty pictures. 

These are some pics and people that inspire me. If I can emulate any of these outfits I will!

(sorry about the picture overload)

Perfect for a summer evening. The trapeze blouse is girly and roomy! White jeans are a summer staple.

So chic. I am a sucker for pointy toe heels, they are the sexy corporate shoe to me! This combo is in every girl's closet.

Floral, flowey dress and cognac accessories. Fresh and perfect for a date or concert!

Accessories really make the outfit. I love busting out the scarf with a tank. It is unexpected touch that people don't expect.

The green heels speak for themselves. Paired with tight black pants and an over sized neutral blouse. L-O-V-E!

I have a huge love for super light blue jeans. Paired with a coral blouse sounds like my perfect outfit for a Fall Transition.

Another light blue jeans ensemble. I am dying for a cream blazer. I love how she paired the matching blouse with a monochromatic belt and shoes.

The Bun is just classic and beautiful. The high waist-ed, flouncy skirt looks perfect with slightly un-buttoned blouse. The nude heels make her legs look miles long!

This is my uniform. Flouncy top, jeggings, heels and a FAB bag. I love that she wore a fedora...have to try that!

I think this is one of my favorite outfits on this post. I love the color purple and the belt makes the biggest difference! So cute!

Rocker Chic. I want to bust out my old concert tees and dress them up!

Once again the shoes are what drew me to this look. I need really short booties like these! My utility jackets are on heavy rotation and I could wear them daily!

 {do not have a source...if you know please share!}

Pairing cut offs with dressier pieces is so California Chic. And more booties. <3

Jess is known for pairing shorts and sky high heels with a blazer and tee. I love the embellished jacket. I need more sparkle in my life!

Awww the Boho princess. I would dress Boho every day if I could. The belted maxi with flat sandals and fringe bag is perfection. PERFECT!

WHAT or WHO inspires you?

What pieces do you need to add to your wardrobe? 

Stripes Lovin'

Oh how I yearn to wear stripes.

I see pictures of celebs and bloggers wearing stripes every day. I always want to copy their outfits. Always.

Stripes make me look LARGE and in CHARGE.

I hate it.

Since I can't wear them, I will just dream about them.

And stare at these pics.

Enjoy!

LOVE the maxi with the belt. I am going to try this look with a solid dress :)

This is a great 'Errands' outfit. Yes, I classify my outfits. Hehe.

Gwen can wear ANYTHING and look good. I love the femininity of the off the shoulder top paired with BF jeans and a newsboy hat!

{image via justjared.com}

This is a perfect outfit for work! I LOVE an over sized blazer, leggings and boots for an easy, chic look.

A simple dress can be dressed up OR down. Adding accessories really gives the look a punch!

I love that she paired her striped maxi with a cropped jean jacket.

I Love how BEACHY this dress is!

I LOVE neon and gray together. If I had to pick one item that I COULD and WOULD wear, it would be this cardi. I am in LOVE with it.

Thin stripes are definitely easier to wear. I want the Chanel scarf and the mini boots.

Blair has been getting some MAJOR press. Did you see her on whowhatwear.com??

I would love to try pairing stripes and leopard print! I still NEED two leopard skirts, a pencil skirt and a short, flouncy mini skirt!

Krystal is one of my FAVS. She tries the funnest combos. I am obsessed with Cognac colored things and this dress looks FAB with the cognac leather jacket.

Helena of Brooklyn Blonde pairs her metallic stripes with SUNNY yellow shorts and a trench. I love this look! Such a fun pairing.

Alicia is my animal print SOUL sister. She has the most amazing collection of animal prints that I would love to steal borrow! I love this large striped maxi dress and leather jacket combo! I wish I looked that good!!

I could have posted DOZENS of pics. But these are some of my favs! How do you wear your stripes? Do you rock them or shy away from them like me??

Fashionista Friday: Black Shorts edition

Summer is fast approaching and there is nothing I love more than dressing up my shorts. Black shorts are so versatile. Whether you wear your shorts with a simple tee or with a blouse and blazer you look ready for anything.

Here are a few of my favorite ways to wear shorts.

How do will you wear your black shorts this Summer?

Mugshot Monday {5}

It is hard to hate Rachel Bilson.

And she gives us many, many reasons too!

She is talented, beautiful, quirky, style setter, family oriented, and seemingly down to Earth.

She is probably my number ONE Style Crush.

She is genuinely photographed au naturale!

But she is done up for a commercial.

I LOVE the smokey eye and nude lips look.

I think she looks fantastic as a glamour girl!

And every girl is a Princess, so the crown is very appropriate.

The many ways to wear Leather or {faux} Leather

Leather is being used in every silhouette these days.

Shirts, pants, jackets and even dresses.

It is no longer considered "dominatrix" it is an every day fabrication that is being rocked in so many different outfits.

These leather pieces are worn on the red carpet, out to a nice dinner or even running errands around town.

These are my favorite outfits and ways to wear it...

Jackets

{images via starstyleinc.com}

I love colored leather. Ashley's cognac and Kourtney's green are fun and new ways to look fresh.

{images via justjared.com and peoplestylewatch.com}

I love the cropped jackets worn by Jenna Dewan Tatum and Kim Kardashion.

Jenna's toughens up a more classic outfit and I love the drapiness of Kim's look.

{images via starstyleinc.com and nrichienews.com}

Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie both used jackets to dress up a going out outfit.

Lauren's outfit is one of my favs! I love the color of her dress and her hair is amazing. Her shoes and jacket really compliment AND complete the look.

Nicole pairs her jacket with an all black ensemble, letting her shoes take center stage.

{image via justjared.com and peoplestylewatch.com}

Rachel Bilson and Zoe Saldana each wear a jacket that zips across the chest giving the jacket an interesting detail. Worn with a maxi skirt or skinny jeans makes the jacket super versatile.

{images via peoplestylewatch.com and justjared.com}

Even the men can rock this trend.

Peter Facinelli looks casual as he strolls through the airport.

Ryan Gosling looks sophisticated with his tweed dress pants and scarf.

LOVE IT!

Dresses

{images via justjared.com and peoplestylewatch.com}

Each one of these dresses is different, yet FABULOUS looking. They scream STYLE and define each lady that wears them. I pray to god each night to have a body to wear and amazing leather dress!

Bottoms

Leather or faux Leather leggings seem to be the pant of choice. Ashley and Lauren wear them in a more casual way. JLo chose leather shorts. I am OBSESSED with this whole look! It is amazing. Plus the shoes are AWESOME. Leather and Leopard is the perfect combination :)

These celebs all look amazing and wear leather well.

What look is your fav?

How do you wear leather??
