Watch Out

 Watches are a must have in our daily fashion lives. In my opinion, an outfit isn't complete without a classic watch. One of my favorite watches is the Marc Jacobs Amy Watch, and it retails for $175.  I've had this watch for about 5yrs, and I blame it for my current watch obsession. It's such a simple and timeless (no pun intended), watch. It literally goes with everything. It's lightweight yet, very sturdy. I've banged this watch on countertops, car doors, tables, etc, and it's stayed in tack. It's one of Marc's most popular watches, I've seen so many women with this particular style. It's easy, elegant, and beautifully understated. 

The Marc Jacobs Amy watch is sold at these retailers: Nordstrom (on sale), Bloomingdale's (on sale)  Macys , Marc Jacobs

Tips for styling your leather jacket

Since we're on the topic of leather jackets today, I figured I'd share some style tips. I created a guide below, with a few everyday pieces that pair well with leather jackets. You probably have most of these in your closet already! 

THE LAYERING BASICS

It doesn't matter what color, style, or fabric, you select, these are just simple pieces you can easily find, dress up or down, and layer. #1 T-shirt (crew or V-neck) #2 Chambray or White Button Down, #3 Stripped Shirt (of any kind) #4 turtlenecks, #5 sweaters 

WHAT SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?

When wearing a leather jacket, your shoe selection is infinite. You can wear, sneakers, pumps, ankle boots, knee boots, flats, sandals, ANYTHING. For a casual look, I opt for the classic Converse Chuck Taylor Sneaker, and for a more polished look, I'll wear ankle boots and pumps. (You can also wear ankle boots for casual looks as well) Hope these tips helped! 

And remember, when you wear a leather jacket, the fashion world is your oyster!

The only jacket that matters

  

                                                                    THE LEATHER JACKET

 The leather jacket, is probably one of the most iconic pieces in your closet.  Its been a staple of American fashion for generations, and it looks like it's going to stay that way. Leather jackets are versatile, classic, edgy, and perfect for layering. They come in various styles, leathers, and if you invest in the right one, it'll last you decades.  Sometimes, all you need is a good pair of jeans, a basic shirt, a buttery leather jacket, and you're good to go! 

So whether you already have a jacket, or you're thinking about investing in one, here's a list of a few retailers where you can find the perfect leather jacket for your style and price range: Topshop, Madewell, Nordstrom, Mango, and H&M. 

                           

Try pairing your jacket with a white button down, some distressed jeans, and sneakers! It's quick, easy, and pure Americana.

Cozy Knits and Vince

   The temps are plummeting and snow flurries are in the air! It's time to take out our sweaters, or if you haven't already, start investing in some quality knitwear. Knits are pieces I highly recommend spending a little more money on, because they're basic must haves. When the weather gets cold, it's nice to have sweaters and cardigans that are well made, will keep you warm, and have longevity. You'll always need knits in your wardrobe. They aren't trendy, they're comfortable, and one of the most flexible pieces in your closet.

      

                                                                           VINCE

One of my favorite brands for knitwear is Vince; an LA based company founded in 2002, with an aesthetic focusing on effortless and modern, every day style. The brand's known for their luxurious knits, but over the years they've expanded to ready- to -wear and accessories. Their prices are slightly expensive, but as I stated earlier, it's important to invest in key pieces, and Vince is well worth it. Vince has its own stores, but it's also sold at Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdale's. 

Occasionally, you can score a Vince piece at Marshalls and T.J.Maxx. Now that's a find!

BAUBLEBAR FEVER

 Have you heard of the jewelry site BaubleBar.com? To my surprise, a few people aren't familiar with it. GASP! I'm so addicted to this site, but if you haven't discovered this gem don't fret! I'm going to tell you all about it.

 BaubleBar is an online jewelry site, that gives you access to the most coveted selection of chic fashion jewelry. They have everything from minimalistic chokers, to layering necklaces, to chunky cocktail rings. It's so captivating, the prices are perfect, the quality is great, and they partner with some of most notable people in fashion. You can revamp your jewelry box in seconds, and if you're a little stumped on how to layer a piece, they offer Service With Accessorizing Talent, aka their SWAT team. It's their group of stylist who are there to solve all of your accessorizing meltdowns. BaubleBar.com literally has every piece of jewelry you can think of for any occasion, or fashion preference.
                           
                             One of the first items I purchased was this double pearl choker. 

                        

 I'm totally hooked. And although BaubleBar is an online retailer, they opened a store in the NY area. So if you're in the city, drop by and stock up on some chokers and midi rings!

                           

            Look out for my next post, where I'll debut my most recent BaubleBar purchase!

It's a Quilted Affair

                         

  For Christmas, I decided to buy the Rebecca Minkoff, Quilted Affair handbag. If you have followed me on the blog or Instagram, you know my weakness is a black handbag, detailed with gold hardware. It's like my kryptonite. I've been eyeing The Quilted Affair for about two years. It's a great take on the Chanel Flap bag, but with its own Minkoff twist. 

If you're saving for the classic Chanel Flap like I am, The Quilted Affair is perfect if you want the Chanel appeal, at a designer price that won't break your young adult budget. The Quilted Affair comes in three sizes; the mini $195, the large $295 & the jumbo $350. 

I bought the large affair above, for $295, and it fits a regular or small wallet, keys, some cosmetics, and your tech gadgets. It doesn't hold a water bottle, but I'm pretty sure their jumbo size should lol.

 It's a great everyday bag that I can wear as a cross body or a shoulder, and the the chain is adjustable! You can find the Quilted Affair at Rebecca Minkoff, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdales!

58 Degrees in Ga? I'll take it!

     
  I'm so happy Georgia weather is slightly getting on track. The weather is so tricky here! It can be 50 degrees today, and almost 80 degrees tomorrow. Over the weekend, it was about 58 degrees and I couldn't have been happier. FINALLY I could wear fall clothes, and not look out of place! 

 Fifty Eight degrees isn't bone chilling, but it's a good excuse to pull out a light weight jacket, boots, and tights! I wore my Burberry quilted coat, a gray pullover from Marshall's, an asymmetrical skirt from H&M, my Prada Saffiano tote, and Nine West over the knee boots from Nordstrom.

Effortless Fall

 
    Ti's the season for go to pieces, timeless coats, never ending layers, and of course, boots! The best thing about fall style, is that it's completely effortless. It doesn't take a lot to have a great outfit. Who doesn't love getting dressed in an oversized sweater, your best skinnies, over the knee boots, and a statement handbag?!
   
 Since we're on the topic of fall fashion.. lol, here's a recap of my fall ensemble from last weekend.  I went for an easy downtown look, the weather was kind of cloudy and cool, and I wanted to be comfortable in case it rained.

 I wore my fave leather moto jacket from Nordstrom, my green oversized flannel and high riser skinnies from Madewell, a faux fur wrap from Target,  my Tory Burch Amanda Ridding Boots, and Warby Parker Maynard frames. What's your go to look fall?

Middle School Denim Jacket #fashionblogger

  I've been wearing this denim jacket everyday, since finding it in the back of my closet last week. I know this seems to be a trend of mine, finding long lost clothes in my closet lol.

 I had this back in Middle School! I rem I got it in like 6th grade, from Express in a medium, bc my mom said it would leave extra room for my sweaters. I literally don't know why I couldn't find it until cleaning out my closet, but I'm soooo glad I did. Denim never goes out of style & today, the larger your jacket is the better! This is perf for Summer, Fall, Winter, I can on & on..
