Sweet Valentine: The Look & Menu!

This Valentine’s kick your outfit up a notch and really shine in a sequins number like the Blush Sequins.  This lady-like sophisticated hue in this straight sequin style brings sweet and sexy together for an unbeatable look. 

To complete this outfit, I stuck to neutrals with this darling peplum lace top, cream coat and matching blush heel and clutch.

Now where to wear this number?  You can take this get-up out on the town, or in with your honey.  My plans include the latter.  Every V-day as customary, I write my beau a poem and we cook together.  On the menu this year is the following…

1. The Cocktail:  Berry Whiskey Smash

It’s Valentines, spruce up your after work drink from a beer to a cocktail.  This cocktail has the whiskey for the men and the berries for the women.

2. Salad: Caesar Romaine “Wedge” Salad

I love wedge salads, my boyfriend loves caesars-this recipe is a win-win!

3. Main Dish: Lemon-Basil Ricotta Stuffed Shells in Champagne Cream Sauce

If there was a romantic food, I would have to say it is pasta.   Not sure if it’s from the image of Lady and the Tramp with the noodles or if I just find Italians down-right sexy…you know what, it’s definitely the Italians.

Happy Valentine’s to you all.  Have a blast!

SOW: Stacy’s Stripe!

This week ditch your jeans and step it up with a fun alternative : Stacy’s Stripe. 

Named after our cool, calm and collected co-worker Stacy, the Stacy’s Stripe will be a great go-to in your closet!

This classic black, aqua and yellow stripe with bronze lurex thread woven throughout is a classic pattern with a fresh color scheme.  Cut on the bias (diagonal), this skirt is extremely form flattering!

I dressed this skirt for the weekend or any casual outing.  Instead of your blue jeans, go for this bright number to add a little shine to your look.  This skirt looks great with white, yellow, aqua, black or coral like I have above.  Complete with a denim jacket and black boots, this outfit leaves you effortlessly adorable. 

One Skirt,Three Ways!!

A new batch of skirts gives me all new outfits to create, making me one happy blogger.  On this Fab Friday, I’d like to introduce you to one of our newest: Liberty Clarissa Denim!

This is the perfect, go-to Spring skirt.  From our Liberty of London collection, this floral motif ranges from bright yellow to light pink against a blue back drop.  These are wonderfully subtle colors, giving you plenty of option tops to pair with this number.  Below, I have the Clarissa styled three ways...

Look # 1: The Weekender

Cute, comfy and practical were my targets for this look.  Pair the Clarissa with a loose-fit tunic and oversized cardigan for a chic boho look.  Keeping with comfort, I  went with Toms for your feet!

Look #2: The Ladies Night

Round up your favorite girls and a feisty outfit!  I took this look a little darker with the crimson top and navy booties.  Layer the bangles up on for a little movement in your outfit.

Look #3: The Office

This is a great skirt for the office.  You can wear any color solid and be good to go with a blazer or cardigan.  

Yow-Za: Cheetah Print meets Red!

My favorite new skirt this season is the Chiffon Ruffle Ruby.  Knockout, vibrant color with feminine flair.  I am smitten.  This color is a bomb shell all on its own and to step it up a notch, I added cheetah print.

Below, I have three ways to pull off this look...

Look #1: Hot Date

For those with extreme confidence, pair the Chiffon Ruffle Ruby with a cheetah top.  This look is a must on a hot date.

Look #2: Casual Accessory

To play it safe, go for a cheetah scarf.  This is a casual way to turn down the sex appeal between an animal print and vibrant red.  Another casual accessory would be a skinny belt.

Look #3: Sexy Heels

This is my favorite look for the the Chiffon Ruffle Ruby.  Pick any solid top (I went with cream), an eye catching metallic necklace and you’re set with a touch of sex appeal (heels) and mix of femininity (chiffon skirt).

SOW: Flashback Lagoon

Looking for a piece in your closet thats a little bit class and a statement piece at the same time?  Look no further, the Flashback Lagoon is just what you need and is our SOW this week only!

This 100% silk is lightweight, perfect for all year round.  With paint splattered white, teal, lime green, silver and black, this artistic piece will leave you standing out in style.

On my last trip to our GM’s house, Mary was a knockout in this Flashback Lagoon Outfit.  The hostest with the mostest wore this outfit to work.  It transitioned perfectly to night without changing a thing.

To replicate Mary’s out fit you will need:

1. Flashback Lagoon

2. Black leather/faux leather tank or top

3. Classic straight fit black blazer

4. Chunky fringe scarf. Black or gray will work

5. Sheer black tights

6. Booties.  Mary rocked a contrasting beige.  If you want a more subtle shoe, go for a black bootie.

This outfit is great for work, drinks after, or a night out on the town.  The Flashback is a timeless statement piece.  How will you wear yours?

SOW: Charlotte’s Web- Valentine’s!

One of my favorite days is right around the corner: Valentine’s Day.  Valentine’s is all what you make of it.  To me, it isn’t a day for couples it’s a day for random acts of kindness.  Growing up, I loved passing out Valentine’s cards, I loved getting a box of candy from my dad-it was so special!   These days, Valentine’s is a night to stay in and cook with my special fella.  A few years ago, it was dinner with my girlfriends.  This year, while doing something nice for others, do something nice for yourself ;)

In lieu of V-day, I wanted this week’s SOW to be on the feminine side.  I picked the Charlotte’s Web Lavender as our highlighted skirt due to the intricate web like detailing, making this dainty skirt very feminine indeed.

I know you can put together neutrals on your own.  For my look, I mixed it up a bit with this fun printed blouse from Piperlime.  I kept the shoes and clutch neutral while adding some sparkle with this jeweled necklace.  I like this outfit for a special night with your closest ladies!

If you would like a delicate look.  Dress this lightweight lavender beauty like so…

This cream blouse tucked in and belted is feminine and classic. 

Next week, I’ll show you what to wear with that special someone...

SOW: Corvina Black

Who says a LBS(little black skirt) has to be plain black?  A LBS has one requirement-it must be easy to outfit.  It has to be a go-to for any occasion.  The Corvina Black is this weeks SOW, and your soon to be LBS.

This beautifully painted velvet skirt is a medium weight fabric, perfect for the winter.  The painted bronze gives this skirt a certain shine, while the green adds an unexpected touch.

I wanted a chic outfit for this chic skirt.  To begin, I looked for a black top with a little edge.  This eyelet shoulder embellishment did just the trick.  I love this faux fur jacket to add mystery and a touch of old Hollywood charm to your outfit.  Any pair of black pumps will do, I went with a sleek pair of booties and a contrast maroon clutch.

Wear this outfit somewhere fabulous, and feel a little famous while you’re at it ;)
