Hello pretty girls! I hope you all are taking advantage of your last days of summer, I sure am! Here is a quick casual, afternoon summer outfit of the day. I love to take vintage pieces and make them modern. What is the vintage piece I'm wearing you might ask? Exactly, if you can't tell I have succeeded ;-)! It is the floral top! I found this gem in my mother's closet, from ages ago. Isn't it stunning? The key to modernize this top was to remove the over-sized shoulder pads and roll up the long sleeves. Voila, easy and chic! So scavenge your family's closet, you will never know what treasures you will find! ♥ Laura

Hello crafty girls! I hope you all had an amazing mother's day, as a mother or daughter, or both!! I'm fortunate to have the best mother ever! She had an amazing Mother's day full of fun and love! This was my outfit for a nice but casual day of shopping and dining! A jean jacket is a great way to take a formal dress from night to day. To finish the look I chose a sandy color cross body bag and wedges and a fun animal print belt. Have fun with fashion, and don't forget that you all are beautiful!
What I wore:
Michele Bohbot Jean Jacket
Enfocus Studio navy ruffled dress
Charlotte Russe animal print belt
Ann Taylor Loft Bracelets
Fossil Watch
Impo wedges (super comfy and inexpensive)
Now that the weather is a little bit chillier, everyone is starting to realize that maybe it’s time to go fall shopping. There are so many different trends that it can get overwhelming! So the question is; what should you buy that will last and not go out of style by next fall? I have made a list of the top fall fashion essentials that are perfect pieces to layer and combine to create beautiful outfits, that won’t break the piggy bank! Plus most importantly, they won’t go out of style!
♥ Long sleeve tees: They are inexpensive and if you buy them in several fun colors, they will give your outfit that needed pop of color to brighten you up this fall! You can wear them solo or use them for layering, they are very versatile!
♥ Accessories: Jewelry, belts, and scarfs are the most inexpensive way to jazz up an outfit.They turn your outfit from BLAH to WOW in an instance!
♥ Outerwear: Such as jackets and blazers not only keep you warm, but transform your outfit. Try a fitted jacket and blazer for a slimming effect, because it is very easy to add pounds with fall fashion.
♥ Dark wash jeans: I recommend these to everyone because they are absolutely amazing! They make your legs look longer and leaner, need I say more?! They also instantly dress up your outfit, opposed to a lighter wash jean. Try a trouser or boot cut jean, they are the most flattering on every body type. Also try a dark wash skinny jean. *Tip* Make sure it’s solid, not bleached nor faded, for a maximizing slimming effect.
♥ Sweaters: They are warm and cozy, and they come in hundreds of styles! Whether it’s a chunky knit sweater, cardigan, cable knit, pullover; any kind of sweater is perfect for fall! Sweaters come in any price range, and add comfort and warmth to an outfit.
♥ Boots, boots, and more boots: A girl can never have too many boots! Right now in fashion, shoe styles are very wide-ranging, and you can find just about any style out there. If you want to make an investment that will last I suggest a leather boot because they will last many years, unlike a synthetic boot that will peel in short time. Also, pick a style of boot that is timeless and doesn’t go out of style. For example, stay away from thigh high, extreme platform, and peep toe boots.
Hopefully this list of essentials help you start a shopping list. If you want to see how I style all the essential pieces together, check out the video below! Have fun shopping ♥!
