Can I get a “Yeah! Yeah” from my ladies who love leather sleeves? I just can’t get enough. I’ll also accept some “Yeah! Yeahs” from those of you who get the Usher references in this post.

Extra Credit: Who can tell which pieces are from ASOS? Those models lean HARD.

05/29/12 Two Ways: Oversized Glasses from Salt Optics

Pin this article on Pinterest

Four-eyed since the 3rd grade, eyewear has been my staple accessory long before stilettos and statement necklaces. When oversized frames waltzed into trendy-ville, my inner nerd jumped for joy. In fact, the resurgence of bold eyewear has brought a huge range of styles, colors and shapes to play with.

I had the chance to try out a few frames from the ultra-cool Salt Optics recently and fell in love with their frames. The styles are simple, well-made and iconic. My favorite style is Brit, which is part of their newest collection. I’ve worn these frames a number of ways and they add a little nerd-chic to an edgier outfit.

Here are two ways to play up your oversized frames:

Look One: earrings | shorts | blouse | loafers | satchel

Look Two: blazer | tank | studded flats | black pants | fox bangle

05/09/12 Two Ways: High Waisted Jean

Pin this article on Pinterest

Oh denim, how I love thee. A true staple in my wardrobe, I can always count on my favorite pair of jeans. Alas, my very favorite pair, which I got deeply discounted from Gap, have seen better days. Thankfully I stumbled upon London-based MiH Jeans a few weeks ago. Let me tell you- they know how to do denim.

Enter the trendy high waisted, flare leg jean. For years not single flared pant leg was to be found. Thankfully a wider leg back, along with a curve-hugging, high waisted fit. This style looks great with a blazer or a tucked in silk blouse. What’s your favorite way to wear high waisted pants?

Jeans: MiH Marrakesh Jean
MiH is a denim-lovers haven. Each pair is made from luxuriously soft fabric and have been meticulously crafted to make your legs look killer. They also have a wide range of shades and styles, so you can pick your perfect blue to go with the perfect fit for you.

Outfit No. 1: Striped Jacket | Bag | Sunglasses | Bracelet | Shoes

Outfit No. 2: “On The Mark” Necklace | Bag | Shoe | Blouse | Sunglasses

04/25/12 Two Ways: The Maxi Skirt

Pin this article on Pinterest

This week I’m sharing two ways to wear my favorite trend: The Maxi Skirt. Pair it with a leather jacket for an edgier look, or a lady-like blouse for a polished look. I also like to wear my maxi skirts as dresses. Pull the skirt up under your arms, zip up and add a belt around your waist to avoid looking like a parachute. It’s the skirt that’s also a dress!
