Vera Bradley Leighton Backpack & Tweed Skirt

August 29, 2016

Happy Monday! I was so excited to have a weekend off work and had big plans to catch up on sleep, but the only thing I really caught up on was Madam Secretary.  I’m not mad about it, to be completely honest.  We’re talking all about the return of the backpack today; I recently picked up the Vera Bradley Leighton Backpack and think it’ll be a great bag to have this fall.

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.

Red Scalloped Skirt
featured in this post: shein: pom pom striped tank c/o + j crew factory: button front scallop skirt {also available in olive and navy} + cat footwear: olive boots c/o + rebecca minkoff: love crossbody + francesca’s: tassel bracelet {similar} + kendra scott: bracelet c/o + red bandana + opi: nail polish c/o + colourpop: pink lipstick + anastasia beverly hills: eyebrow filler + stila: liquid eyeliner

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.

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.

Embroidered Tassel Top

August 10, 2016

We’re coming up on the end of summer posts {#wahhh} but today’s might be one of my very favorites! This top immediately caught my eye with the swoon worthy multicolored embroidery and colorful tassels around the bust and arms.

Embroidered Tassel Top
featured in this post: shein: embroidered tassel top c/o {under $25, wearing XS} + distressed jeans {similar option} + fringe wedges + jord wood watches: fieldcrest watch c/o + kendra scott: elisa necklace in silver druzy c/o + golden ring + sunglasses + fossil: emi saddle bag c/o + metal lipstick + scünci rubber bands c/o
Embroidered Tassel Top

This leather crossbody from Fossil is absolutely gorgeous; the leather is very soft and such a great color for fall. The brown leather option has the trendy tassel in the center of the bag and features stud detail around the flap.  It also is available in black; instead of the studs that bag has really fun braided leather detail.  A good leather crossbody will always be a fall necessity for me and this one will definitely be on repeat.Embroidered Tassel Top

This bunch of sunflowers always catches my eye during the summertime, so when I drove past them last week and actually had my camera with me, I quickly parked my car and jumped out to snap some photos.  While my style normally isn’t very boho centric, I love this fun top and really want to see if I can get away with wearing it tucked into a suede skirt for fall.

Embroidered Tassel Top

While most of the photos I take aren’t frame worthy as they’re essentially glorified selfies for the blog, this photo gives me all the heart eyes! I ended up catching just the right lighting and stopped taking photos of myself {briefly} to mess around with some of the different settings and ended up with this shot.

Embroidered Tassel Top

To be a real boho babe, I paired my top with my tried and true Elisa necklace {fave Kendra style #sorrynotsorry} and my JORD wood watch.  I love the color of this one because it really is a piece you can wear year round.

With the heat wave in full effect in Kentucky, I’ve been trying to keep my hair up as much as possible, but wearing a topknot every. single. day. can get tiring so I pulled out some of the new goodies that Scünci sent me and threw my hair up into these quirky pigtail buns that made me feel eccentric and also twelve years old…in the best way possible.
