That is my friend Daniela. Very stylish I might add! I love military jackets. They are so functionally and utilitarian with the many pockets and compartments to store necessities. Like makeup, cell phone, weapons...! JK guys kinda not really. Hey you have to perpared living in the city or urban areas. With this outifit I wore a black beret skinny jeans and scraf are from Forever 21,  The mustard color purse is an older purchase form JcPenney's, the black leather wedge boots are from Cathy Jean and the Military Jacket is from H&M.  This is one of my favorite outfits! I really need to go through my closet again. I did sweep of all my old unworn clothes. I might do it again. There are a lot of things I just no longer wear. Maybe I should do a ebay store. What do you think?

Staying Classy at Lavo in Vegas baby!

"Yes I went to Vegas again!" Its one of my favorite places to go!

 It was sort of a last minute trip kind of! But needless to say I fought the logic and went anyway! I had a great time with my girlfriends. I also had to fight the urge to fall into the skimpy ultra crazy Vegas fashion that circles every club like vultures over a carcass. This was one of the quick go to outfits I picked out. Luckily these items caught my eye when I had to make a return at Forever 21. This whole outfit is under $100 bucks. I wanted to wear nothing but one pieces on my Vegas trip but this skirt caught my eye. I wish they had a dress made out of this print. I love it! The skirt really reminded me of XS nightclub at the Wynn in Las Vegas. I've been there once before and its amazing! But I wore this outfit at Lavo at The Palazzo.

Shop in your closet

I recently have come to realization that sooner or later my poles in my closet are going to collapse. I've taken items out of my drawers constantly, I taken things out of my closet and I still keep adding on and on. I've decided to try and limit myself to only a new item every two weeks instead of once a week. And it has to be a needed basic or something that I can't live without! Or the question I ask my friends when we shop"Will you dream about it?" So I'm trying to use more items already in my closet to put together new outfits. Its really fun coming up with interesting and creative things to wear out of my own closet! I'm up to date on a lot of trends. Accessories are a must for surviving this experiment. A few signature pieces that you love will definitely enhance your outfit. The picture below was taken a few weeks ago. I wanted to remember the outfit because I absolutely loved it and came up with it right before work. I will try to post more picks of myself but I need a tripod or I have to get ready before my boyfriend leaves for work! My office is very business casual. So I can get away with a lot. But I like dressing up more on the business side and adding a little bit of creativity so it isn't so boring and stuffy! Let me know what you think!

Accessory Report: Chain Bracelets

If you haven't noticed this year. There is a lot of rocker, edgy, leather, gothicish type designs hitting the stores. Just walk through Forever 21, they have tons of the above. This year this style became a little more marketable because the designs are versatile enough to pair them with softer pieces. I believe the leather or leatherish leggings started this whole look. Of course the orginal inspiration came from the 60s, 70s and 80s hard core rock styles. Those that dress this way regularly are the real pioneers. But for some reason fashionitas are liking this edgy look. So am I! Black, white, silver and gold are one of my all time favorite go to pairings. Its chic and classic at the same time. Above I've put together my favorite chain bracelets that are twined with metal or fabric. These bracelets are on my "I want list!" They definietely give your outfit that extra edge.

It's sequin time!

I'm in Vegas again! Vegas makes me think of bright lights, glitz and glamour! While I had some down time I got a little inspired to put together this collage. I knew where to find all of these clothes! I went directly to forever21.com. I love this store. You can find anything and everything to complete your wardrobe. Browsing through this website makes my shopping tendencies come back into full effect! As I was putting these gorgeous pieces together I felt like something
was missing! I started to think about what girl(besides myself) would wear this outfit? Ding ding! Kerry Washington! I love everything she wears. Kudos to her stylist!

Sugar Lips Satin Shift Dress-Sequin Racerback Dress-Sequin Soiree Dress

There are two places in the United States of America where you can get away with wearing anything: Las Vegas and New York City. I want to be fashion forward, shiny and fabulous at the same time. But I don't want to be gaudy or over done. Here are my picks for my upcoming Vegas trip. I think they are all very cute. Plus they won't be so tight that I won't be able to breathe. I love loose fitting clothes that are still sexy ans cute. I think these definitly fit. The Sugar Lips dress to the right is over $50. But is so worth it for the material, design and look. The floral print zipper in the back might be a deal breaker for me. Thankfully I looked at the back picture. I'm unsure about this creative addition to the dress. But it does break up all that color. The other two dresses are under $50. Which of course is more affordable but I'm scared about the sequins falling off. I need help!!!
