Snow Flow in Bordeaux

It was the first snow fall of the winter season, so I decided to do a great look that you can wear in this weather that's stylish, warm, and safe (weather boots vs pumps). I bought these tights to add color in my wardrobe, however that's always a challenge due to the weather. I wore them with a big chunky sweater; I always feel the need to wear the comfiest clothes when it snows. Even though nothing can actually keep you too warm in the snow. I paired the outfit with a sequined belt to extenuate my waist, which I have fell in love with recently (: I honestly prefer the sunshine over the snow, how about you bloggers?

Lace Love

So finally, this is my last vacation outfit that I'll be posting! Oh, how I miss being this tan. All I did on vacation was sleep, sit on the beach, and eat. That's pretty much all I want to do, all the time. (Sigh) If only I could. I was going for a very relaxed boho look. Usually I'm weary of wearing lace with lace, but I think this outfit was appropriate to do so. I seriously can not wait until it starts getting warmer out! It actually snowed today a few inches. M will be posting a snow appropriate outfit soon. Until then, enjoy this!

Mind Numbing

For this post, we've taken out the big guns. Not really. Actually, yes really. We've been wanting high quality, gorgeous photos to display our outfits like other blogs we admire, and that's exactly what we did. Well, not us exactly, but a friend with an amazing eye for photography. His name is Bassel Mudarris, and you can see more of his breathtaking work HERE. We focused our outfits on a trend that has just recently reached it's peak: colored denim. Lately, we've been seeing them in every single store, in every single color. With a pair of these in your closet, it couldn't be easier to light up a drab and dark winter wardrobe. Speaking of winter, it was freezing during the shoot! We bundled up in not-warm-enough coats and knit headbands. By the end of it all, our toes were completely numb and the most beautiful shade of pastel blue (not healthy, we know). It was all worth it because the photos came out better than anything we could ever do ourselves. Enjoy it loves!

Repeat Offender

So here is my second vacation post...tadaaa! If you've been following our blog, you will most likely notice that I have already worn this shirt. Hence, the title. If you have not or did not even notice, then I clearly ratted myself out. I'm OK with that. I hope you are too. I mean, we've all done it, right? I believe that taking a piece you have already worn and completely changing how you styled it is a true challenge. Apparently, I was up for this challenge on vacation. This sheer, high waisted maxi skirt seemed to be the perfect opportunity for me to overcome this obstacle of "repeating" a clothing item. It's such a completely different look than my "First Impressions" post. I think I absolutely beat this styling
battle (S: 1, T-Shirt: 0). What do you think?

Tangerine Twist

Well I miss you all, it's been a while since I've blogged pictures! I've been stuck at home with a pile of books, unfortunately :O. Well, thankfully today I am going out to dinner with the family, which is an excuse for me to get dressed up. Today for my outfit, I wore an apricot color blouse with a black skirt. I am usually against orange and black because of the Halloween vibes it emulates. However, this shirt isn't a bright orange. For jewelry, I found this crystal necklace in my moms jewelry box which I absolutely love! Usually when I go out I wear a pair of heels, but today I didn't want to look the tallest out of the family(lol). This photo shoot was so much fun, it was photographed by my younger sister! I hope everyones doing well, and keeping up to their resolutions!

Slight Stripes

Oh, how I've missed blogging! I've been in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic for the past week, and I couldn't be happier to be back home. While there, I took advantage of the beautiful scenery by taking blog pictures; this will be one of several vacation posts. For some reason, I tend to wear things on vacation that I wouldn't usually wear at home. Maybe it's the tropical atmosphere that inspires me? I'm not quite sure. I wore this sheer red dress two different ways. The first as a dress with a black slip underneath, and the second time as a cover-up for my one-piece, red bathing suit. I definitely liked it more with the red on red effect! I also ended up running into the ocean after hours and getting drenched, but it was absolutely worth it. After all, that is what dry cleaners are for, right?

Sequins and Leather

I wore this outfit at my new years party. This year my family wanted to wear all gold. It was so difficult to find something gold that was appropriate to wear around family. However, I found a gold sequin shirt. I tucked it into a pair of black leather shorts. I wore the leather shorts in an appropriate yet stylish way. I paired the black gold accented belt to compliment the color scheme. With my jewelry, i didn't do much cause my top was bold enough. Well, I hope everyone enjoyed their new years because I had so much fun at my party. Stick to your resolutions for 2012! My resolution for this year is to get more followers and for our blog to go farther!
-XOXO M

Sheer Sophistication

The hotel I was recently staying at had the most breath taking lobby. One would think that it would be a blogger's ideal photoshoot location, but of course that was not the case. The lighting was atrocious and the camera's flash ruined the entire atmosphere. On the bright side, I managed to selvage some pictures from the gala dinner I went to! Besides the beautiful draping of this dress, the back is to-die-for. It is super sexy, but still sophisticated and chic. I'll be going away and escaping the harsh winter this New Years (can't wait!) I'll be sure to write all about it when I come home.
