If you have been paying attention to the fashion world, you noticed that this fall it's all about the 70's. Although I'm not a huge fan of the era (so much fringe!), I can get behind 'everything denim' trend. Especially since I don't have to buy things like flares (they have been laying in my closet for almost nine years) and this denim skirt (from my high school days). And the fact that I fit into a skirt that I wore in high school has me all giddy. It also proves the fact that I wasn't the prom queen (ha!).
This outfit was inspired by this look but I'm not sure how close I got. Do you think I look half as cool as she does in her outfit posts?
P.S Don't forget today is the last day to enter the giveaway for two bracelets of your choice!
It's officially fall over here. The mornings are so chilly that I'm itching to turn the heat on. Yet, I couldn't wait to wear this top (which I go on super sale) until next year. I know that it's not online or in stores anymore but I just love it. The stripes and the flowers are so perfect together I think. Plus, can you tell I'm in love with this midi skirt? Although, I'm quite not sure about the 70s trend for this fall. I can get on board with denim but suede isn't quite my thing (yet). Are you a fan of all the fringe, suede and lots of denim?

I've been getting a lot of comments (and emails) about my postpartum shape. I've done my fare share to not gain too much while I was pregnant but knowing how to dress your body to accentuate your strong parts, is also helpful. As well as owning a good pair of spanx (ha!). Here are my tips and tricks to looking fabulous after pregnancy.
1. Tuck It In. First and foremost, you must (absolutely HAVE TO) invest in a good pair of shape wear and undergarments. You can look great, and have expensive clothes but if your bra doesn't fit right, especially when nursing, it's a lost cause. Wearing supportive undergarments that help shape your body (and hide that tummy) is the oldest trick in the book. Although, for some reason, not everyone knows it. I'm letting the cat out of the bag - this amazing invention is your best friend. If you don't like the idea of being tucked in so much, getting a pair of regular spanx will help (a lot).
2. Shift Dress Galore. Before I knew what postpartum body was, I hated shift dresses. To me they felt so unshapely and very blah. I had a great figure and wasn't about to let a shapeless dress to hide it. Now, it's a totally different story. Shift dresses look feminine yet they hide the unwanted tummy (also see maxi dresses). So get yourself a few of those ASAP (see top photos)
3. Flaunt What You've Got. Every woman has at least one great feature. If you have gorgeous legs, then wear short skirt. If you didn't gain any weight in your butt, accentuate your figure with great pair of jeans. I have a slim waist and therefore right now I'm playing around that. Notice how the second row of photos are all fit and flare. The fit part accentuates the skinniest part of me, while the flare hides unwanted rolls. It's a win - win. Find your best feature and make it work for you.
4. Avoid the Tent Look. The rule of thumb is that if the top is fit, then the bottom should be a little more loose and vice versa. Do not put on an overzised sweater on top of culottes - you are running a risk of someone asking you how far along are you. Even though chunky knits with skinny jeans are great at hiding the belly, do not wear tops that have a high waist - they will make you look pregnant. Choose loose and straight shaped top with slimmer bottoms.
5. Own it. Your body went through so much. From growing another human being to expelling that little person out of your (even smaller) private area. It's a lot to process! Be kind to yourself, love your body and what it did. Don't get discouraged if the weight doesn't just fall off in a few weeks. It took you 9 months to gain all that weight, so give it at least half that to start going away. Own your stretch marks, leaking boobs and half pregnant tummy. This is a special time so cherish it and enjoy every moment!
Welcome back to another work week! Although it seems like the entire blogging world is partying down in New York City during NYFW. I'm so excited for fall with so much trends like denim on denim, lots (and lots) of red, as well as some old trends coming back. Flares! Who knew that if I kept my flares from about seven years ago, they would be such a hit?! Now if only they would fit this postpartum belly. I've been keeping an eye on so many NYFW shows and excited to share the round up with you. Follow me on Instagram for the latest updates as well! Thanks for stopping by!
There is no doubt, red is my favorite color this season. Another favorite thing of mine is to scour gorgeous clothes for fraction of the cost. I found this skirt during my recent thrift store shopping spree and couldn't believe my eyes that I found exactly what I was looking for. I love the ease of movement and the countless ways I can style it (also how gorgeous is this one?).Also I'm loving the bow striped pumps (unfortunately they sold out) in this outfit. Can't stop thinking of more ways to wear them. Are you into mdi skirts or shy away from their particular styling? Thank you for stopping by!
When it comes to a perfect little black dress, you can never have to many (yes, my husband will argue otherwise ha!). After inspecting my closet, I only have two LBDs and that's just wrong. Honestly, I already wore this dress multiple times and love how it looks dressed up or down. The ease of styling and many occasions I can wear it to, makes this a keeper in my book. I also love this one (and drooling over this one!). Do you make LBDs a part of your closet? Or just haven't found a perfect one yet? Check out below for some similar styles! Thank you for stopping by!
