Blazers!

Normally at this time of year (where I live) it is snowing and cold and you really need a warm winter jacket. However, this year, mother nature has given me the short end of this stick because it is still in the mid to low fifties.

On to the topic for my post. Because its been so warm I want to talk to you about blazers. I have been looking for the perfect blazer for some time now. I just can't seem to find one that is made for me. I wanted to write a post to inform all of you about a few kinds of blazers and what could be right for your style.

All of the blazers that I'm going to show you are from www.piperlime.com

The first blazer is the Slouchy Blazer, it is going to have a fit similar to the boyfriend blazer. It's $89.00, a little bit of a splurge, but worth it if you use and it lasts a long time.

This is a super cute blazer to wear exactly how the model is wearing it, white shirt and jeans. You could also accessorize this with a chunky necklace or bracelet. Pair this outfit with some cute boots and you have an awesome weekend outfit. Perfection!

The next one is the Tux Blazer, it's great for dressing up an outfit. It would look great with most anything (especially sundresses)! It is a lot more expensive than most of you would want to spend but you can see this style and know what to look for at the store of your choice. It is $264.00 (WHOA)!

I personally would not wear this blazer the way this model is, I don't think that the deep v-neck looks particularly classy. I would wear this blazer with a sundress or something along those line. Even wearing it with jeans and a solid colored t-shirt would be great.

The next blazer is called the Bleecker Blazer, it is more of a fitted blazer. This style is great for really any occasion you can think of, just beware of the color, the one I am showing you is coral colored just so you can see everything. I would recommend a black or navy blue colored one for a more professional feel. This one is $69.00.

This kind of blazer is really one of my favorites. It looks good on just about anyone and is super comfortable. You could also wear one of these with a dress or jeans or anything else you can think of.

This blazer is sort of the style most women I know want, it is the Gabe B Blazer. This is the most basic of all blazers and should be a must have in any woman's closet. This one is also pricy, a whopping $395.00, but again, this is an example of something you can go out and look for at a cheaper price.

You can literally wear this is anything you own. A dress, jeans, or even a suit, as shown above. Like I said before, a closet staple. It is well worth the investment if you ask me!

The last kind of blazer I want to talk about are the exciting and fun ones like this one, the Ruffle Blazer. These are great for those of you who can't help but love the statement pieces.  It is $99.00, so a little bit more than you might want to spend but a great addition to your wardrobe.

Again, just a really fun and flirty blazer to add to your wardrobe. It's always good to have fun with clothes and really enjoy what you are wearing.

On a side note, if you are thinking about purchasing a blazer please try it on before you buy it. I have had a lot of blazers that look cute online or on the hanger in a store but don't look fabulous when its on. So remember to try on everything before you buy it!

I hope you read this and feel compelled to buy a blazer for your closet, it really is something that no woman should be without!

Until Next Time

Fashion Controversy: The Cowl Neck...

Most people I know are either pro-cowl neck or anti-cowl neck, no one is in between. I cannot figure out why people are so against the cowl neck. I personally love to wear these kinds of shirts and sweaters during the winter. Side note: please do not wear anything with a cowl neck during the warmer months, you just look silly.

Cowl necks are one thing in fashion that you love or hate. I'm going to show you a few different kinds of cowl necks using my all time favorite designer, Michael Kors.

All of these are available for sale at various stores, I will include price and web link below each picture.

To kick off this post, I'm starting with a basic cowl neck.

This is MICHAEL Michael Kors Cowl Neck Sweater it is currently $45.90 on Nordstrom's website. It's the most basic kind of cowl neck to buy if you feel you need to play it safe.

Next we have the deep cowl neck.

This is MICHAEL Michael Kors Deep Cowl Neck Sweater it is currently unavailable so the price isn't listed but I would expect to pay around $69.50 for this kind of sweater. This adds so much drama for those of you (like me) who like to play with volume and texture.

The next cowl neck sweater I have for you is the plunging cowl neck.

This one is  MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS Plunging Cowlneck Sweater this one is also not available, but is just to give you an idea of what kind of cowl neck you would prefer. I like this one because there is nothing around your face that may make you feel uncomfortable. I know that's an issue for some of you out there. This kind of sweater lays more flat than the previous one.

This next one is one of my absolute favorites, a MUST have for the holidays.

This is MICHAEL Michael Kors Sweater, Long Sleeve Fringe Cowlneck and it is $89.50, it's a little bit of a splurge but I'd say well worth it! This to me is a perfect cowl neck sweater.

The last kind of cowl neck I want to show you is the neck warmer.

This is MICHAEL Michael Kors Neck-Warmer Sweater this is $99.50, this is really a beautiful sweater. You can see why it's called a neck warmer, because there is so much fabric up by your neck, thus keeping it warm. Again, another splurge, but really cute and a lot of fun.

So where do you stand on the cowl neck line? For it? Against it? Let me know!

Go try some cowl necks this weekend! You can find a lot of them at much cheaper prices, I just used Michael Kors as an example because he also loves a good cowl neck!

Until Next Time!

Gloves, Gloves and more Gloves!

So I'm home sick today, it would seem that the sickness everyone else has I now have.  So I am writing a post to kill some time and to entertain you beautiful people.

Today, I want to talk about gloves. With the weather getting colder and the frost gathering on my car over night I am in the market for a new pair of gloves. I have to tell you that I've never been very enthusiastic about gloves before but I've seen some very cute ones over the past couple of weeks (at cheap prices too)!

All of the following gloves can be found at Target for $19.99!

Red is a fantastic color for gloves for the girl who loves a pop of color!

Purple is a great color also! And how cute is the tie on the side!

Brown with accents of light brown, cute!

So I know that this mustard color yellow is a color that a lot you may not like, but there is just something about it that is appealing to me and is something that I would wear with a vintage looking outfit.

These blue ones are my absolute favorite. The bow on the bottom and the dark blue color is amazing.

Here are a couple of pairs of gloves for those of you that can afford to splurge.

These are black leather ruffle gloves from Banana Republic and are $69.50

These are so cute, but definitely a splurge.

These next gloves are UGG Australia 'Kotah Shorty' Tech Gloves, these are so cute and you can use them outside on your iPhone/Smartphone or iPad/Tablet.  They are $95.00 and definitely a splurge but really worth it. They are a Nordstrom exclusive so you can only get them there!

The next pair of gloves is also from Nordstrom and they are $68.00, they are the 'Diamond Stitch' gloves.

This pair of gloves are brilliant purple and can be found at Saks. They are $75.00 and silk lined.

So if you are on a budget or not you can afford a really great pair of gloves! I hope you take a look at these gloves and buy the perfect pair for yourself.

Until Next Time!
