What's up chicos y chicas!  It's a gorgeous day in my neighborhood! 

I know I haven't worn anything too springy yet but damn it, I'm always COLD!  LOL!    I'm trying to embrace the warmer weather but when I leave my house in the am it's still pretty chilly.  This is where layering is key! 
You can wear a pretty floral top or dress and layer it with a military inspired jacket like mine, a blazer, a cardi!  It all works!  

Dress for you, and no one else!

Have a good day sweets!

Sweet Anniversary



Happy 1st Anniversary
"Melissa's Sweet Style"


Happy Monday Sweets! 

My blog was a year old on Friday!  Woohoo!  I can't believe it has been a year since I wrote my very first post.  How time flies!  It seems like yesterday I was celebrating my first follower!  Now I'm at almost 500!!!!  A blog wouldn't be anything without its readers, so I'd like to say THANK YOU for taking the time to read my sweet little blog!


I get so much inspiration (not only in fashion) when I visit my favorite blogs, so today's post is obviously dedicated to INSPIRATION! 

While visiting one of my favorite bloggers (I have a few) Julia from Gal Meets Glam had a post with her essentials for visiting San Francisco.  Of course one of those essentials was.........


The Crossbody bag


Not your grannies crossbody!  If you think crossbody bags aren't that fashionable, think again!  They come in sooo many different styles and colors! 






Blazer: Mandee
Jeans: Levi's
Sneaks: Gift
Crossbody bag: Michael Kors


I have a few crossbody bags and they are perfect for travel and now with so many fun ones to choose, you can wear them with just about anything!

I'm not a big fan of my outfit or hair today, but I wanted to post, so I hope you enjoy and
thank you, thank you, thank you
for visiting!

Mandee Spring Lookbook



Happy Thursday dolls! 

Sorry for the lack of posts this week.  I've been a little under the weather.  I think I had a stomach bug.  Feeling a little better today.

I wanted to share with you some fun spring looks from one of my favorite stores. 


 
Mandee is always my go to store for the latest trends without breaking the bank!  Jenny from the Mandee team reached out to me, and sent me a sneak peak of their Spring Lookbook. 

Lots of the pieces are very versatile and can be dressed up or down!  Here are some of my favorite pieces!


Here is one of those versatile pieces I was talking about, "THE SHIRT DRESS!"  Whether you wear it during the day with flats, a straw hat, or at night with heels its a must for spring/summer!  So many ways to dress this up or down!



 

Flats, flats, and more flats!!!!  As you all know, I LOVE wearing  flats.  I know that might sound weird for a fashionista like me, but I just love being comfy.  Besides with flats like these, who needs heels!  I love the rhinestone details on some of these sandals.  They are easy to take from day to night. 

Back to basics!  No matter how much color you add to your wardrobe nothing is more chic than black and white.  It just never goes out of style!  Perfect for anytime of the day!


It's all in the statement!  Statement necklace are all the rage!  I have a few myself and even if your wearing a simple tee, they just make everything look better!



April showers, bring May flowers!  Sooo many designers are playing with florals for spring/summer!  So girly and fun! 


I hope you sweets enjoy this post! 

Make sure you visit your local Mandee store and check out their new spring looks! 

Have a wonderful day!

Bright Blazers for Spring











Blazer: Forever 21 (similar here)
Chambray top: Aeropostale
Jeans: Levi's
Flats: Bamboo (Mandee)
Handbag & Sunnies: Kohl's



Hi Sweets!  So on my second day in AC, I wore this super bright blazer.  As you can see it was cloudy and crappy but with spring in the air, I couldn't help but wear a fun bright color! 

I packed light (as usual) so I'm wearing my studded flats again with my cross body bag and my favorite staple.....the chambray top!  Slowly but surely, I'm embracing Spring!

Have a bright day! ;)

Studded Flats: Bamboo (Mandee)
Jewelry: Everywhere...lol!


Happy Hump Day! 

After a few relaxing days with the hubby, it's back to reality!  Of course it rained Sunday and Monday.  Just my luck!  This is what I wore on Sunday for our drive up to AC.  I'm the queen of casual, so of course I wore jeans and flats.  These are my personal style staples!  As long as I'm wearing Jeans and flats, everything else just comes together.  Hope you all enjoyed your Easter! 

Thanks for visiting!
