A V-day Inspired Look With ModCloth & Polyvore







Hello there sweets! 

Today I'm having some fun with Polyvore and ModCloth. 
ModCloth is this super fun clothing, accessories, and decor online store.  They have whimsical and cool pieces you won't find anywhere else. 

ModCloth has put together the
Uniquely You Campaign, where bloggers create a look using pieces from ModCloth.  
The piece chosen for me by Amy at ModCloth, was the  Diagonal Alley Coat in Black by Steve Madden.

A chic statement coat is a must have for the winter months, and this coat makes one hell of a statement.  With a ribbed collar and diagonal zipper its easy to take this from day to night, and if you love color it comes in red too! 
I went back and forth debating how I would style this fabulous coat.  I'm a casual girl at heart and live in jeans and pants.  For this campaign I decided to go dressy and give you a V-day inspired look.  

Here's what I would wear on V-day!












Do you love it? 

All the pieces are from ModCloth and the first one that spoke to me was the Prized Panelist Dress.  The black and white is so chic and the flare skirt is perfect!  The color blocking and panels brought me back to the diagonal zipper on the Alley Coat
 
Adding the red tights gave it that V-day feel for a fun, girly look!  Accessories are a must to finish off any look.  I went with a beautiful t-strap heel and a leopard clutch. #classic
  Mixing prints is definitely something I love to do.  I love the look of vintage jewelry and these cameo earrings and statement necklace were perfect to finish it all off.  I had to go back and add a scarf because if you live on the East Coast like me, your going to need it on V-day!  #polarvortexgoaway 

Accessories I used:


I hope you get some V-day inspiration from my look, It's definitely "uniquely me"!

Blockade Party Dress



 







Dress: c/o MODCLOTH
Cardigan: Thrifted
Necklace: Payless
Shoes: Forever 21
Bracelets: c/o Charming Charlie


Happy hump day sweets!  Well I hope your day is going better than mine.  I fell this morning on my way in to work.  I felt like a turtle on it's back.  I fell and could not get up.  LOL!  I haven't fell like that in a long time!  I scraped by hands but besides that, I'm good to go! 

Anyway, I had off yesterday which was so good.  Finished most of my Christmas shopping. 

When I attended LuckyFabb, Modcloth was there and they were kind of enough to send me this dress.  I wore it to my holiday office party on Sunday.  I added a sequin cardi for that holiday sparkle!  And of course my new favorite neutral......leopard shoes!

Hope you like!  Thanks for visiting!

Wild Chevron










Dress: Hautelook
Wedges: Simply Vera Wang
Chevron necklace: c/o Wild Butterfly Boutique



Oh hey Monday!  Hope you all had an awesome weekend!  I was given the choice of 2 pieces from Wild Butterfly Boutique and my second pick was this super cute chevron necklace.  I LOVE the chevron print and I think this necklace is so whimsical!  I wore it with this floral dress for dinner with the hubby.  Even though summer is slipping by, florals are still huge for fall!  Ughhhh......every time I say fall, I cry a little.

Have a good day peeps!

Ditch your mini! GO MAXI!



Heyyyyyyyy!  What's up my sweets!  I missed you!  Hope your all enjoying your summer! 
Mine has been super chill!  Hubby and I are taking a few days off in August, soooooo looking forward to that!  We are on a tight budget this year so no vaca, but we still need a few days to unwind. 

Who doesn't love a good maxi in the summer!  I have a few and actually they are all kind of dressy.  I'm on the hunt for a casual everyday maxi.  I went to Forever 21 and couldn't find any I liked.  I ordered this via Hautelook and it's so soft, and I love the print!  So go ahead and ditch your mini! 









Channeling my inner goddess.... ;)

Dress: Hautelook
Sandals: Prabal Gurung

FYI - don't let these silly poses fool you!  I hate taking blog pics, and my hubby knows it so he makes me do silly things!  Gotta love him! 

Have a fab day!

Dress: H & M
Flats: Jennifer Lopez (Kohl's)

Happy Birthday to me! Love these girls!


Another weekend bites the dust! 
Obviously, I didn't win the powerball!  LOL!  Even though I didn't win the lottery, I had an awesome weekend and an even better birthday!  My friends took me to dinner on Friday night, and I just wanted to share some pics.  We went to Benihana and OMG was it delish!  Love that place!  I know these pics suck but I only had my Iphone.  My dress was pretty simple, but I love the floral pattern.  I love that you can dress it up or down, like I did.  

THANK YOU to all my friends and family for making my birthday so special! 


One more thing.....I got these awesome hair brushes from BrushLove and I can't wait to review them for you!  Stay tuned for that later in the week!

Thanks for visiting!

Have a fab day!
