Style | TGIF: Beaded Galore

Looking to vamp up a black jumpsuit? Instead of that little black dress you always wear out, try something a bit unique. I love the shape a jumpsuit gives you with the waistband. By adding fun jewelry, you add your own personal style. This beaded Tekay Designs necklace is really beautiful for day or night. Try pairing it with a simple one color dress during the day and then adding it to a chic number at night. Play with accessories as the colors extract one another and have fun going out this weekend!

Style | Shop Your Closet: The Blazer

A blazer should be an item that is already in your wardrobe. They are perfect for work and look great paired with pants or with dresses. I liked this Alexander McQueen blazer because it is an update on a classic style. This blazer is a peplum style blazer and the cut will accentuate your waist. I paired it with this shapeless black and blue Marni dress because when paired together, it will be fitted and pulled in. I added plain black tights and shoes to the outfit to give it a clean finish. I also thought this bracelet was interesting … Read More »
