  • Blogger Spotlight: Julie of Orchid Grey

     

    Happy Wednesday! Time again for my favorite post of the week, Blogger Spotlight! This week I had to give some special attention to Julie from Orchid Grey. I have been a long time reader of Julie's blog and she has kept me and her many, many readers inspired with daily outfit posts comprised of both vintage and new items. What originally got me into her blog was her tagline, "Big hair, small wallet." As a girl with hair so big things get lost within it, Julie had me from the very beginning! This month, we were lucky enough to partner up with Julie for an amazing contest with a $100 shopping spree to LuLu*s. See the end of this post for details!

    Check out some of my favorite Orchid Grey looks below! 

    This lady-like dress is perfectly paired with a cardigan and strappy sandals. A clear 1960's umbrella finishes the look with a touch of playfulness.

    Obsessed with these 70's platforms. Julie, you know who to call if you want to pass those beauties on!

    I love the look of the patterned skirt with the chocolate brown tights. Great color combinations!

    Staying on trend in a midi skirt, Julie adds her own special touch by choosing a vintage floral pattern.

    Looking perfect in a LuLu*s maxi, Julie adds strappy buckled platforms for a polished look. 

    I love the bright pop of orange handbag paired with the deep blue patterened skirt. 

    Julie has a real eye for color combinations and patterns, and to top it off, her writing is funny and super engaging! One of the many bloggers I hope to meet in person one day, you feel like you have a friend in her just by being a reader! Make sure to hop on over to Orchid Grey to get some inspiration and to say "Hello!"

  • Blogger Spotlight: Kendi of Kendi Everyday

     

    For this week's blogger spotlight, I wanted to shine the attention on the lovely Kendi from the popular blog Kendi Everyday. You may have heard me mention her before or have seen some pictures of her featured on this blog. I, of course, am a huge fan, and if you haven't heard of her before, allow me to introduce you to her awesome outfits and super silly sense of humor. 

    Kendi is a master at color mixing, and as you can see above, she is not afraid to add splashes of vibrant tones to each outfit. 

    Ladylike skirts and perfectly-hued blouses are finished with accentuating accessories such as a striped belt or a platform sandal. I love how Kendi takes simple pieces in great colors, then adds sweet accessories such as a beautiful leather belt or a handbag with floral detailing. 

    This army green vest gives the perfect military touch and pairs with the chunky jewelry and nude heels just right. 

    Anyone who knows me knows my affinity for a good flare, and Kendi is rocking these with some serious style! I love how she made the look casual and so chic with the striped sweater, then added a funky twist by throwing in a floral pattern. She always manages to look so crisp yet easygoing. 

    If you are as impressed with Kendi's color-saturated and playful wardrobe as I am, make sure to check out her blog and show some love!

  • Blogger Spotlight: Hope Adela of Pink Champagne

     

    Yesterday, when I came across Hope Adela from Pink Champagne, I knew instantly that she would be my Blogger Spotlight for this week. As I looked through her pictures and daily outfits, I couldn't help but smile and be delighted by how much fun she has with fashion.

    Playing with patterns and textures, Hope Adela seems to embody a different fairytale or adventure in every outfit. In her "About Me" section on her site, Hope has written, "I believe that fashion is a creative and unique form of art, and try to incorporate that theory into every aspect of my life." Take a look for yourself to find out what she means in my favorite looks shown below

    With a definite affinity for turbans, headbands, and hats, Hope Adela is fearless with her accessories. In the first photo, my absolute favorite, she seems to be an old world gypsy, finished with an adorned turban and long gloves. In the second photo she takes color for a spin and embodies a Frida-esque look complete with bangles and a cheerful polka dot blouse.

    Tulle and feathers for a romantic woodland look.

     What do all three of the photos above have in common? Oh, just one of the most iconic prints of all time: leopard! With animal print accents and a full swinging 60's coat, Hope Adela adds flair in a way that most would stumble over. Excess and drama are clearly her strong suit, with all of these looks appearing effortless and fun - the mark of true style. 

    Some of us shine in simplicity and minimalism, others in full regalia with cloaks and capes, lame and leather, not an accessory left behind! Whatever your style, being true to your inner voice is what sets you apart from others and makes you special. I for one commend those who take fashion as a way to express themselves and their dreams, and Ms. Hope Adela is a perfect example! Make sure to check out her blog for more inspirational and fun fashion!

  • Holiday Dresses Made Easy: Pick a Color, Any Color!

    Wondering what to wear for your upcoming holiday parties? We all want to dress to impress this season, but with so many choices it can be difficult. I always try to stick to a theme, and it is usually a bright color and black mixed together in a festive way. If you need some ideas, check out the dresses below with some holiday pictures for inspiration.

    If the bright lights and colorful ornaments appeal to you, try the Bat Your Lashes One Shoulder Coral Pink Dress. The eye-catching pink is festive enough for any party and the dramatic sleeve detail will set you apart from everyone else!

    If you are inspired by snowy streets and glittering stars, you may be more inclined to choose an innocent, white dress. This beauty, the Swan Lake White Dress, is the epitome of girlie and pretty sweetness! Layers of white ruffles and the perfect sweet heart neckline make this the ideal holiday party dress.

    Holiday Images from We Heart It

    Perhaps the warm golden tones make your heart melt. If this is the case get ready to get glittery with the Glinda the Good Witch Gold Dress. This elegant dress has a golden brocade floral dress is cinched at the waist and has beautiful detail around the neck. It will surely keep you glimmering all night long!

    Whatever dress you choose make sure to have a festive holiday and make the most of your celebration!
