Shut Up! - Volume 8


Hey Team,

Welcome back to Shut Up Friday’s!

Today we are talking Winter White!   And if you are one of those rule abiding citizens who is afraid to go against the law, I am here to tell you that no white after Labor Day is long gone friends. LONG GONE!!!!

Below you will see my take on this ever growing trend…this girl ain’t afraid, that’s for shiz!

A WHITE OUT
This is taking your mother’s labor day rule and telling it to stick it.  I pulled my white & cream wool and cashmere pieces and put it all together into this ensemble you see.  I encourage mixing and matching different textures and shades to create your all white look, as it adds dimension to the monochromatic ensemble.

 
The Goods:
White Sweater : Zara
Cashmere Wrap: Nordstrom
 
 
HALF-ASS WHITE
This is for the lady who likes to listen to her mom yet rebel just a bit…  it is a bold statement since the dress is a white lace but the black turtleneck and tights ground the look.  I love white lace pretty much anytime but I find it looks very cool when it is unexpected, hence in a full dress J
 
The Goods:
Black Turtleneck: Target
Lace Dress: Topshop

A Sliver OF WHITE 
If you are not quite sold on this white all year long idea, this may be your cup of tea.  I paired a cream sweater and black pants with a white lace skirt.  The sliver of white lace adds a little character to this otherwise simple look.  It is embracing the trend, but just testing the waters with a little dip of the toes!   



The Goods:
Cream Sweater: (old)
Skirt: Zara (but similar here)
Shoes: Coach

 

So what type of gal are you going to be?

 
Peace,

Shut Up! - Volume 4


Hey Team,
Happy 2013!  Welcome back to this year's first edition of Shut Up Friday's! 

To kick off the new year, I thought I'd start off with my favorite accessory...the bracelet!  Whether it be a watch, bangle, rope, zip tie or yarn, anything that goes around the wrist, is fine by me!  Well, handcuffs would probably be upsetting. 

Anyway, I came up with 5 combo's that I have been rockin' lately.  They are all a tad different depending on my mood and amount of weight I could handle that particular day.  My general rule of thumb is to adorn myself in odd numbers and use items at all different price points and varying textures.  As you can see below I love to mix a fancy gold bracelet with a yarn friendship bracelet or a spikey bracelet with a dainty watch...mixing it up is the key to an arm that is ready to get down to get down! 

arm #1: space 519(similar here), dad's vintage gucci watch, spikey black bracelet, thick/thin gold bracelets - michael kors
arm #2: thin gold bracelet - ralph lauren, masaai bracelet, gold bracelet(old), tory burch bracelet, thick beaded bracelet - whole foods
arm #3: yarn bracelets - madre y hija (cp's bracelet co!), peacock cuff - house of harlow
arm #4: peace cuff - old,thin gold bracelet - ralph lauren, shopbop bracelet - old,barney's spike bracelet - old, spikey black bracelet
arm #5: friendship bracelets, thick/thin gold bracelets - michael kors
whole collection!


peace
