Very Chic Tassels

Hello lovely reader! One of my goals for 2018 for this blog is to bring back the fashion focus. I want to keep things simple, chic, and informative providing links and details to outfits. I want to share pieces that I personally own and love as well as ones that I am seeing in the world, in person and through social media.

     This look combines two of my favorite pieces that I have purchased within the last few months. The first being the gorgeous burgundy top with a high neck and tassel (Zara refers to them as pompoms) trim along the bottom. What I really liked about this top was that it has the cut of a classic piece but also a simple detail that brings a bit more fun and energy to it. It can also be dressed up or down by pairing with black pants as I did here or with a skinny jean. I think that it's also perfect for an environment where you may need to be business professional or casual but still want to show some style.
     The shoes are one of my other favorite purchases, I'm quite sure anyone who works in fashion or follows it would agree that the Gucci loafers were one of the defining pieces to come out of 2017. Every high end blogger had the exacts and every fast fashion retailer had the dupes it seemed like almost over night! While the actual Gucci loafers are still the dream, I wasn't quite ready to make that type of a financial commitment and so I looked all over for shoes of a similar style. I tried on multiple pairs but struggled to find ones that were actually comfortable and didn't look super cheap! When I found this pair by Steve Madden it was like a saving grace! The soles are so comfortable and the leather around the back is super soft so they don't dig into your heels like the other pairs I had tried on.

What I Got for Christmas 2017

Hello lovely reader! Happy 2018! Definitely going to take some time to get used to writing that! I hope you all had a fantastic holiday season and New Years. Today I wanted to share some of my favorite gifts that I received for Christmas with you! I have done these posts in the past and always feel the need to say that this is in no way a "showing off" write up nor is it written with any intent to be flashy. These are some of my favorite posts to read from other people and I enjoy putting them together as well. I love to share things that I like with others so that you might enjoy them too. So that is where I am coming from when I personally put my posts together! I will try to include as many links as possible to the pieces that are still available (they are not affiliated links with me either, aka I am not getting paid if you buy any of them). Enjoy!

Fashion Facts | OOTD

Hello lovely reader! Today I wanted to share a quick and easy, casual OOTD with you. I love a good graphic tee, especially ones that are different or have a a good quote, something a bit out of the ordinary. Zara is definitely a go to for just that and even more so if you catch when they are having a sale. 

"Percent daily values are based on every day is a fashion show and the world is your runway." I absolutely love this shirt that is in fact from Zara. I got it a couple of months ago, which can be seen in this haul.

High waisted denim shorts = closet must

Comfy and cute black stappy sandals tie the outfit together nicely.

I kept my makeup pretty natural looking and pulled my hair up with a black scrunchie.

What did you wear today?? Xx

Post Christmas Sales | Haul

Hello lovely reader! How are you on this mid-week Wednesday? It is absolutely freezing where I am, so I hope you are warm wherever you are! Today's post is a roundup of the wonderful things that I bought at discounted prices (love it) for after Christmas sales. (Sales on Sales!!!) 

First, are these awesome earrings. As I have stated before, I love the ear cuff trend as well as the double sided earrings. I thought these were cool and different, and would go with a lot. I got them at Nordstrom Rack. 

I love a bit of sarcastic jewelry, it's subtle yet adds personality. I ordered this sassy little bangle from Nasty Gal and I freaking love it! It's not on Nasty Gal's website anymore, the Ettika website does have it, however,  the price is a lot more than what I paid through Nasty Gal. 

Continuing with the online shopping, I had to check out Zara's sale! I love love love Zara and especially their sales. I ended up purchasing these three tops. The first one is a casual t-shirt, I love fashion and thought it was cute and different. I also love the quote "treat everyday like it's a runway" so I had to get that shirt. Next is a nice oversized long-sleeve tshirt. I think it will be cute with black leggings and black slip on shoes or even black Nikes to make it sportier. The last top I ordered from them simply because I thought it was really cool and different. I also like it because it has a pocket in the front. Zara's sale is still going on so definitely check it out!

This top I purchased is from Urban Outfitters. I think it is so cool and again, different! It is also a tad longer in the back which is always nice. 

Probably my favorite item that I purchased were these black boots! I have been looking for black ankle boots for forever and hadn't been able to find exactly what I was wanting. I got these at Saks OFF 5th and they are perfect! 

Finally, a fun little purchase never hurts. I got these from Urban Outfitters for $10 regularly $39...how could I not! Sherpa slippers are perfect for the winter and are what I am wearing as I write this.

Did you get any amazing after Christmas sale deals? Xx
