Loft Littles

Loft is one of my favorite places to shop and I'm excited to announce that Loft just launched their own children's line; one more reason to love the store even more and it happened right on time; just before Mother's Day. Another unique thing about this kiddies line is that you can shop for pieces to match the mom's style and not only in outfits but also accessories. I know a lot of stores do this now especially during Mother's day and also during special holidays but what makes Loft unique is the style of outfits offered; jumpsuits, gingham print dresses and cute summer dresses. Stop at the site to check out the ongoing sale by using the code LOVEMOM

Shoe Lovin,' - Embellished Sandals

So, I have been posting about embellished shoes for a while now and this floral embellished sandal probably tops all the affordable embellished shoes that I have shared on here in recent times. It is just beautiful and whimsical and it's got so much texture; stripes, florals, color blocking and being a sandal, it is ideal for the spring and summer season. This beautiful piece is a creation of the renowned Fashion Designer, Betsey Johnson who has a very whimsical and eccentric design style. Her shoes are stylish and affordable at the same time and if you are into eclectic design or style, you can check out her brand. This embellished sandal would be great for prom, showers and weddings.

How I styled my clear Shoes.

Clear shoes have been around for a long time but they have become a huge trend this spring and I am not complaining. I have loved this trend for a while because it is so classy and edgy and creates interest for any outfit. I also love the fact that clear shoes are super versatile as you can find them in any style to pair with your outfit for work or for play. I even spotted a pair of clear sneakers recently on line. This post is on how I have styled this trend in the past. In the picture above, I paired a pair of black clear sandals with a grey leopard prints tunic and a pair of denim. The blouse is somewhat busy because of the print and the clear shoes tones down the outfit a bit. Since the straps are clear, it creates a false illusion of bare feet thereby making for an interesting look. You can click on the links below the pictures below to read the original post.

Spring Layering: Black and White Maxi Dress

I have had this bold black and white striped dress for years now and never really wore it until recently. The reason it lay in my closet for so long was because of the trendy style of the dress at the time. The style was just everywhere in the spring and summer of 2016 and I tell you; I really get put off when a particular style or fashion piece gets too trendy. I purchased this piece from eshakti at the time and there were other variations of it by other retailers like this Style here. So, the dress did sit in the closet for a before I decided to wear it to church a few weeks ago. Since the weather was still cold, I layered a black long sleeve tee underneath the dress for warmth and completed the look with a pair of black ankle boots, a black purse and red statement earrings for a pop of color. A long sleeve tee is the simplest piece to layer sleeveless dresses with in the cold season and the black color tee I am wearing here pairs effortlessly with this dress and creates the look of a one piece.

Styling Neutrals: Tweed Waist tie Coat + Wide legged Pant

Monochrome styling is one of my favorite way of styling neutrals aside from pairing them with whites like I did here in a similar styling. However, when styling neutral colors like tan, beige and light browns, it is essential to mix textures into the outfit or the whole look would look like a uniform. In my styling here, I wore a tan color turtle neck top that I wore and talked about here over tan colored trousers and pumps and threw on an oversized tweed tie waist coat over the look. Tweed we know, is very rich in texture and the leopard prints bag also has some texture to it. All these pieces together add some interest to the outfit. The tweed coat is an old purchase from Target which comes in quite handy every winter. I was not able to find affordable tweed coats to link up to this post so I linked khaki trench coats instead. What other styling tip do you have for styling neutrals? Do share in the comments below and thank you so much for stopping by here.

Mother's Day is around the corner and the deals and discounts have started showing up in retail Stores. Macy's  presently has weekend sales going on and there are lots of items that have up to 30% off discounts. I like to shop for bedding and house wares at Macys and after browsing their site recently, I checked out some of these items that are on sale to share with you on here and you can consider this as a gift guide because it is not too early to start buying gifts for Mother's Day. If you are interested in purchasing from Macys, know that there is a 25% discount for first time purchase made on their App when you download it from the App store. The only con is that, the 25% discount code does not apply right away when you download or purchase from the app. You will have to wait a couple days to get the discount code in the mail. Happy viewing, happy shopping.

Blue leather Skirt and other unique accessories

A blue leather skirt is very unique and edgy because the color is not so common when it comes to leather skirts; no wonder this blue cotton blend A-line leather skirt sells for $450 and it is not even authentic leather! The skirt is really classy though, again, mostly for the color and style. I paired the skirt with a black and white statement sweater, white sock boots, blue woven Cult Gaia bag and neon earrings. Each of these statement pieces, though different colors, complement the blue skirt nicely. In a different outfit, all these different accessories coming together would have been too busy and mismatched; here; the accessories add lots of texture and interest to the outfit. Happy viewing, happy styling.

White teddy coat + White knit dress + Styling trends

The teddy bear coat has been trending for a while now and I have had this off white teddy coat in my closet in ages along with this off white sweater dress that I have styled on this blog so many times, first time in this blog post. And just an aside; it is very important for us to take care of whatever belongs to us, but not in a selfish way though. Let go of things you need to let go off and take care of the things you need to keep. I took care of this beautiful knit dress I purchased from Victorias' Secret over ten years ago and that is why I still have it in my closet today.

Grey Monochrome Styling: Long Coat + Clear Bag

Happy Monday everyone; this another monochrome styling on the blog today just like the one I did here. This time, I'm doing an all grey monochromatic look that is suitable to wear to work any day this season. I know it is spring already but it is still cold here; cold enough to keep putting on layers. Here, I wore a grey color turtle neck sweater over grey color pants and this pants are really comfy; an old purchase from Macy's. The statement piece in this outfit is this long grey coat which I donned on more for style than for warmth because I was already dressed warm with the sweater. And as usual, this is one of the coats I got from the consignment store. It is a pre-owned 100% wool coat that would sell for hundreds of dollars new, at the retail store but I got it for less than a hundred bucks. This plaid transparent bag tote that I blogged about here completed the look along with this V-style  slip on booties. This look is suitable for work and any other formal event on a very cold day. What have you been up to? Thanks so much for stopping by here 😆

Shoe Lovin'

I have been loving embellished shoes al lot lately to the extent that I even did some DIY on a couple of my pumps like the one I wore in this post here. So, when I saw this black embellished pumps on the Nordstrom website, it was pretty much love at first sight. I love the combination of faux silver and cymbals embellishment and this would look great paired with denim and a white tee or paired with an all black outfit. If you want to check out the pumps, they come in two other colors; blush suede and lilac suede here.
