Style runs in the workplace..

Style is the name of the game at my job. The salon is chock full of little fashionistas, so for today, a little spotlight on our manager Erika! She was rocking too cute of an outfit to not make an appearance on the blog. I'm obsessing over her vintage style coat for fall. She found this gem at Profyle Boutique in Indianapolis, by the new Ruth's Chris. One cannot only own a fabulous coat if not to pair it with an equally fabulous outfit.

 

The fall is all about the boots and booties. I like Erika's use of tights to tie a spring or summer piece into a fall look. Fashion and practicality can be each other's best friends (and sometimes enemies). What is your favorite way to make a seasonal item perfect for all year round?

 

Happy Fall y'all, it's getting cold out there.

Change is in the air!

As you have probably noticed I have not only changed the name, but the whole look of the blog! A redesign was essential. When I began this blog, I kind of figured it wouldn't last and I'd move on, but I have come to find that it is something I truly love to do and no matter how many views I get I will continue to indulge in my two favorite things. Fashion and writing. Thank you all for viewing my blog, it is still and might always be a work in progress!

Thanks, 

Abby

I recently overheard a stylist at work explain how to get beachy waves with a curling iron...I'm officially hooked! I love that since they are relaxed curls I can keep a longer look with the volume of a little curl. I'm sure we've all heard this style of curling, but the way she explained it made me think I could do it. I think I achieved success! 

I am mixing up my previous outfit pieces in a different way for a more casual look. I like taking an outfit and using the inspiration to create a new look for different venue. Do you like to style swap?

You have to love fall for it's layering capabilities! This adorable top from Le Tote is perfect for just that. I love the midi sleeve, it's such a chic departure from the cap sleeve and three-quarter. This outfit is undoubtedly cute and comfy, but it was missing something. That something almost always a good piece of jewelry! This lust worthy necklace is an amazing find at Adorn boutique in Broad Ripple. The kicker is that it was only $16! Nothing better than a stylish deal.

inVESTing in my style

I love mixing different types of styles together, i.e. business chic with casual comfort. I snagged this vest from a coworker for $5! Such a steal! I love it's versatility and the little bit of 'extra' it adds to an outfit. Pairing it with a classic Loft silk shirt, skinnies, and ankle booties makes it the perfect neutral look.

 

What kind of styles do you like to mix and match?

Midi's, flares, gold, oh my!

One might read that headline and think this is a vintage post, but in fact it is a very modern look, with a super amazing top from, yet again, Le Tote! I love the midi sleeve due to it's stylish yet conservative style and pairing it with a classic flare jean just seems like a marriage made in 60's heaven. I am sure my mother will love to hear that I love gold jewelry. I swore up and down, in my teen years, that gold was out. Beyond out. Never coming back. It is safe to say that it is unwise to swear off any style, because before you know it that trend will find it's way in to your closet. Gold jewelry is officially trendy and my personal preference, so I officially apologize for my naive and premature kibosh on it's value to the stylish people of the world.
