Preppy Geometric with CUDDY Studios

August 22, 2016

Happy Monday and if you’re a Lilly lover, happy After Party Sale day! I wanted to wear something colorful and bright on the blog today so I’m wearing this pretty high low hem dress from CUDDY Studios that is currently 40% off!

CUDDY digitally prints hand cut artwork with bright and fun colors onto the products in their line for unique pieces that are perfect to celebrate in as summer winds down.

Staying in the colorful spirit, I paired mine with this super cute leather clutch from Things Remembered. They recently launched a leather collection that has something for every lady in your life and I love that these are stamped with gold foil. The 3 characters means you can do your initials or grab something for Mom. 🙂  Staying completely on trend, the zipper is a cute tassel pull.

I also broke out my new Kendra Scott ring! I have been eyeing this ring for a couple years now and finally decided to use my birthday discount on it.  Since there is not a KS close to me {probably the best for my wallet}, I called the store up in Cincinnati and they honored the discount and shipped my ring to me.

I can never get enough of my denim vest so I pulled it on over this dress. The dress does have an open back which is really cute but was a little big on me so throwing a layering piece over breaks up some of the allover print and makes it easy to wear.  This dress also comes with a waist tie; I opted to go without it the day that I shot these photos, but it’s super cute if you’re wearing the dress by itself.

Red Scalloped Mini Skirt

August 17, 2016

They say the first step is admitting you have a problem so here we go. My name is Nicole and I am obsessed with the Olympics. It doesn’t matter if I have somewhere to be at 8 am the next day, I will stay up until midnight to finish watching swimming, gymnastics, track and field, basketball, etc.

And let’s be honest, when it comes to events that only happen every four years — this one is the top dog. We deserve the Summer Olympics if we have to deal with everyone we know {and their mothers} expressing their political opinions on Facebook.

check out these great new arrivals from SheIn:

Red Scalloped Skirt

Summer always means lots of red, white and blue outfits and the Olympic games being here just means the outfits are even more justified.  This scalloped mini skirt sits at the waist, has pockets and has super cute brass buttons down the front.  It also comes in navy and olive that are perfect for fall.  I find J Crew Factory sizing to run big.

I love the pairing ankle boots with skirts especially as we get closer to fall. When Caterpillar reached out to me about checking out their new additions for fall, I really wasn’t sure what to expect as I really knew them as a company that makes construction equipment.  The company also produces clothing and work boots and has expanded their footwear line to include more casual footwear for life without a tool belt.

I picked out this new style, the Olive Boot.  It’s available in four different colors, is made with genuine leather and features lace up detail around the back of the ankle.

Red Scalloped Skirt

I love tanks in the summer and always try to add some that are blouses instead of just the traditional knits so that I can look presentable and dressed up throughout the summer without melting and having to deal with pit stains {#theworst}.  My love for everything blue and white is well documented here so I won’t wax poetic about how much I love the blue and white vertical stripes, but I couldn’t get over how cute these red pom poms were.  When I was trying to decide how I wanted to style it first, I thought it would pair perfectly with my new scallop hem skirt.  To add the perfect, “Yes I have watched every day of the Olympics” touch, I also tied my red bandana in my hair for some Rosie the Riveter vibes.

Checked Shirt

August 15, 2016

I’ve been hunting for a white blazer for a couple years now and just hadn’t been able to find one that I loved, but a couple weeks ago I stopped by the Express Factory store for the first time and found this one. It was on clearance for $17 and will definitely be a nice piece to transition between seasons with.

Checked Shirt

I’d been on the prowl for this specific item, because I love how crisp the white blazer looks and also because I knew how great it would look paired with a tee and jeans.  It really gives a simple outfit a more refined finish.  I’m hoping to wear it soon with a bright chartreuse tee and then a hunter green one in the fall.

Checked Shirt

Currently crushing on: this beautiful cognac leather tote from Vera Bradley.  While it comes in a “small” size option as well that would be perfect if you’re looking for a tote to carry your essentials in with an iPad or e-reader, I opted for the bigger option.  I’m definitely a ‘throw it in the bag’ kinda gal so having room for any and everything I could possibly need is one of the many ways to my heart when it comes to handbags.  This tote has room for my laptop, notebooks and folders and the perfect size for school or the office.  I also love that the front zip pocket can comfortably fit a planner.

Checked Shirt

To create a more dramatic ponytail, I pulled my hair up into a pony and then got one of my Irresistible Me hair extension weft that has seven clips. If I were putting all of my extensions in, this is the one that is the widest and gets placed across the crown of my scalp.  I took two of the center clips and hooked them into the base of my ponytail.  Wrap the loose ends of the weft around your pony and then take a small section of your extensions and wrap that around the base of your pony to cover up the ponytail holder and the top of the hair extensions. Voila!  My extensions were curled from the last time I’d worn them but you could do this with straight hair as well.

Embellished Skirt

August 11, 2016

I love a ladylike silhouette and this embellished skirt from Chicwish I’m featuring today really takes the cake.  {Birthday pun intended!} Plus let’s be honest, a fancy skirt is so much more fun than a birthday suit, am I right?

The navy satin applique flowers are even more stunning in person and look beautiful on the nude overlay of this skirt.  I paired it with this black off the shoulder crop top that gives me major flashbacks to getting my composite photos taken during my sorority days.

What Nicole Wore: Embellished SkirtI’m wearing my Irresistible Me extensions here to add to the elegant look; they are super easy to put in myself and can be styled a few different ways.  Next week, I’m going to share how I used the Silky Touch extensions to create a longer ponytail.What Nicole Wore: Embellished Skirt

My crystal jewelry from Modern and Chic was the icing on top of this look.  The necklace and matching bracelet are such a great way to dress up a little black dress or complement a formal outfit.
