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 — featured in this post: shein: checkered shirt c/o + express factory: white blazer {similar} + skinny jeans + leopard loafers {similar} + kendra scott: necklace c/o + vera bradley: avery tote c/o + pink howlite ring + charming charlie: pink bracelet set c/o + marble sunglasses + lipstick + nail polish c/o + irresistible me: silky touch hair extensions c/o

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.

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.

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.

I’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.

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.

Fringe Tunic

August 4, 2016

When Fossil reached out to me about participating in their new fall campaign, I knew I wanted to pair my new bag and watch with this fun fringe tunic. The blue and white is right up my alley and the fringe is a great way to stay on trend for fall.

I tend to forget about tunics; I know so many people love to style them with leggings for fall, but I still am not fully on the leggings as pants train {I know guys, I know!} Since I’m a big believer in wearing items and styling in a way that you feel comfortable in {the best style tip I can give you is also the simplest}, I paired this fun tribal inspired tunic with distressed jeans for a laid-back weekend look.

The crossbody makes this the perfect outfit to run errands or head to brunch in. The studs and tassel detail on this new style from Fossil make it a piece that’s trendy, but I really love that the deep color of the leather makes it a bag that you can use for years. I’ve been needing to replace my mini saddlebag that I snagged years ago, so I’m really happy to add this sturdy, genuine leather bag to my collection just because I know it’s one that I’ll constantly reach for.

Despite what everyone else will try and tell you, summer is not over {I did buy my first sweater of the season this week though #yikes}, so I pulled out my turquoise tassel necklace to add some more color into this look. I get asked pretty frequently if I actually use watches or just wear them as an accessory; I’m a huge fan of watches, y’all! Love them. Seriously. I know it’s the 21st century but I’m still the girl that prefers a physical planner to an online calendar. Pulling my phone out to check the time or date isn’t always appropriate depending on setting, so having a watch on makes my life a lot simpler. I also love watches that have date windows because I can never tell you what day it is and frequently need to date things.

Irresistible Me Hair Extensions

August 1, 2016

It’s August friends! Did you catch the big Instagram roundup that I posted over the weekend? It has all the details of everything that I’ve posted for over a month. Today’s post is a little different than normal, I’m sharing all the details on my new Irresistible Me hair extensions.

What Nicole Wore: Irresistible Me Hair — featured in this post: irresistible me: 22″ extensions c/o + charming charlie: elle shift dress c/o {only $35} + tassel necklace c/o + gold bracelet c/o + pink howlite ring + leopard clutch {under $50, similar here} + lipstick + nail polish

I’ve always wanted long hair, but can’t commit to the upkeep of actually having long hair. It’s not an uncommon dilemma and most of us know that during the summer months, long hair can be one big, sweaty annoyance.

I was so excited when Irresistible Me reached out to me because the clip ins are super easy to put in {I put these in myself} and can quickly be taken out too. I ordered the 22″ Silky Touch extensions in natural black and the match was perfect. Irresistible Me has tons of resources to help you pick out the correct shade as well as decide what length you want. One of the best things about these extensions is that they send one clip in sealed separately from the rest, that way you can make sure the set you ordered is the right match. If it’s not, Irresistible Me lets you ship the package back and get the right color.

My set was 200 grams of hair and nine pieces plus the test piece; I have super thick hair so wearing all the clip ins is a bit much for me, but if you’re on the other end of the spectrum and struggle with thin hair, the is a great way to add some volume. The clip ins are real hair so definitely treat them like you would your own hair: use heat protectant when applying heat, gently comb and brush them out and store them neatly. My {high maintenance} hair always needs high heat to get straight or take a curl, but when I tried to curl all the hair at once, it was a little too hot for the extensions so be mindful of that too. My exact clip ins are 25% off right now; Irresistible Me also has a premium option with the Royal Remy set, the new Tape In extensions, faux ponytails and hair tools.

Thank you to Irresistible Me for partnering with me on this post. All opinions shared are my own.
