ALEXANDER WANG X H&M

Wang for H&M jersey c/o | J Brand black denim

Urban philosophy button down c/o | Gotham Decay clutch c/o | red mules

what an exciting friday!  

the Alexander Wang for H&M collection is less than a week away from launching!  

this collection, which launches November 6th, is everything.  it's a perfect pairing of sport and style.  the pieces provide versatility and high fashion, taking women from street style to gym attire.  this is Alexander Wang's first ever performance wear line but it has his signature stamp of clean lines and innovative fabric choices.  the line is even completed with kitschy accessories such as boxing gloves, a yoga mat and a two-finger whistle ring.  

I hope you're just as excited for this collection as I am!  Make sure to checkout the lineup and make your must-have list before the collection drops!

have a wonderful weekend!

Southern Octobers

Sugar Love Boutique romper c/o | Grateful Bags tote c/o | Our World Boutique earrings c/o

similar peep-toe booties ; option here

can the weather puh puh puh pleeeease make up its mind.  I'm not going to complain about the 80 degree October days (especially when I have adorable long sleeve rompers to wear like this one from Sugar Love Boutique.)  but the fact that temp is dropping to 35 in just three days makes me cray.  

smile, it's friday eve!

Wednesday Wishing

happy wednesday, ya'll!

my "photographer" has run off-shore again, so for now here are some things I have been window-shopping!

Rockin'

Subtle Luxury cashmere sweater c/o | White Plum leopard pencil skirt c/o

Gotham Decay cuff c/o | Pink Slate necklace c/o | similar fringe booties

we are just going to call this leopard week.  

because apparently I can't get enough.  

but it only takes a little leopard and a little leather to make me feel rockin'.  I love the way these lux pieces paired - a leopard pencil skirt, a cashmere sweater, fringe booties, a vegan leather cuff & a simple gold necklace.  complimented by loose waves (btw - can you tell I took the scissors to my own hair over the weekend?  impulsive personalty on the loose.)  and a casual front tuck, I feel like a complete weekday bada**.

xo. 

The Leopard Always Knocks Twice

Shop Bella C shift dress c/o | Fabulous Finds leopard booties c/o | pony hair leopard sneakers

Leopard & Latte tassel necklace c/o | Pink Slate be happy necklace c/o | similar clutch

faux fur vest option; longer option ; love this one | similar camo utility jacket ; option ; option

you guys - I seriously have a problem.  this makes THREE pairs of leopard shoes this year.  

yep.  go ahead and commit me.

but seriously, what is more fun than taking a simple an amazing shift dress from day to night with the help of leopard sneakers & leopard booties.   this cobalt shift from Shop Bella C is going to be on heavy heavy HEavy repeat for the next few months.  I adore the slit details in the hem and sleeves and I love that the material has a little weight to it.  it's perfect now with booties & vests and will transition to cooler temps with leggings and riding boots.  the styling possibilities are absolutely endless with a classic bomb.dot.com shift dress.

I hope everyone had a great weekend!  which look was your favorite?!

Winter Skin

Enza pore extraction masque c/o

happy sunday, guys!

does anyone else suffer from changing-of-season skincare problems?  I don't know if it's the drier air or the lack of sunshine, but every year around this time my skin gets outta control.  but this year I was prepared with the Enza Pore Extraction Masque!  this masque is formulated with an oat extract to soothe skin as it un-gunks all of your pores.  it also reduces your pore appearance and prevents future breakouts.  double win.  a perfect product for oily skin like mine.

AND - today is the last day to get the masque for $30 (regular price $50)  I promise your skin will thank you for this one!

i hope everyone had an amazing weekend!  I'll be back tomorrow with a new favorite dress styled two ways!

Friday Fancies

happy friday, loves!  no reason or rhyme to these,  just a few pretties topping my lust list as of late.

I hope everyone has a great weekend!

New Jeans on the Block

Dittos wax-coated jeans c/o ; option ; option ; wax coated denim

Accessory Concierge monogram necklace c/o | Ettika bracelets c/o | Daniel Wellington watch c/o

leopard pumps ; option ; lower heel | MK tote | similar cropped blazer ; option ; love this one

chambray popover ; darker wash ; steal

happy friday eve, ya'll!

I was so excited to show you guys these wax coated jeans from Dittos.  they are actually called "black tar coated," which is super fitting.  the wax gives the denim a nice sheen and polish so you can't really tell if they are nice leggings or pants.  (read:  I am definitely going to try to get away with wearing them to work)

having a work outfit in mind, I styled them with an easy chambray popover and a collarless cropped blazer.  keeping everything streamlined and less fussy makes it easier to style denim for those rare days when I can wear jeans to work.

Rugged

Our World baseball tee c/o | East & Lo Distressed skinnies c/o | Rock Your Locks extensions c/o

Barrington Gifts tote c/o | Armed & Readi tassel c/o | Pink Slate Be Happy necklace c/o

Frye booties ; also here | sunnies c/o Kenmark Optical | Daniel Wellington watch c/o

happy hump day!

if I could live in clothes for a week straight, it would be a combination of these pieces.  normally in pencil skirts & heels for work, I like to get a little rugged on the weekends.  baseball tees like this one from Our World Boutique are a favorite to dress up or down, and distressed skinnies and western-style booties always make me happy.  and speaking of amazing denim, this pair from East & Lo is a perfect fit for under $100!  I promise you'll want more than one pair!

you have probably noticed my obsession with this fawn printed tote from Barrington Gifts on Instagram this week.  I honestly can not think of a more perfect print and tote for Fall!  The entire Axis collection from Barrington is gorgeous and will make you want to rent a log cabin and have a cup of cider.  and don't worry - Bambi wasn't hurt for this collection.  it's all printed on nylon.

happy tuesday, guys!

can I get an amen for temps finally cool enough to layer?!  seriously though... it's the back-half of october.  time for some layers.  

and it's definitely time for some leopard double-zip booties.  (let's be honest - it's always time for leopard booties.)  and this pair from Fabulous Finds Boutique has me all kinds of excited.  they are the perfect neutral accessory to all of my neutral fall looks.  I am also pretty obsessed with this classic Daniel Wellington watch.  the thin round face & sleek black leather will be timeless.  and I love that it's framed in rose gold.  so chic!
