WEEKLY STYLE LUST - VELVET CRUSH

Hi Ladies,

If you're like me, you are loving the come back of VELVET in this season's fashion trends. However, I've been struggling a little to find the PERFECT velvet piece to add to my wardrobe...that is until I took a little visit to asos.com. There, I hit the velvet jackpot. Their site has pretty much everything velvet you can think of: rompers, dresses, shoes, bags, even scarves. Check out some of my favorite velvet piece they have available now:

Velvet Bomber Jacket, $83 

White Crushed Velvet Trouser, $128  

Baseball Cap in Purple Velvet, $15 

Missguided Crushed Backpack, $38 

One Day Petite Allover Velvet Wrap Front Jumpsuit, $54

Public Desire Lila Pink Velvet Heeled Ankle Boots, $53 

How have you incorporated velvet into your Fall wardrobe?

WEEKLY STYLE LUST: ASOS WHITE

This week I’m really lusting over the new Asos White collection. I love the way the line is simple yet complex with the detailing; and I especially love the pieces that feature the Trompe L’oeil Plleat Print (don’t ask me to pronounce it because I will fail miserably). The line is described as effortless and individual featuring masculine outerwear and low-key leather next to luxe knitwear, minimal slip dresses, and butter soft nappa bags. This upcoming Fall 2014 season we are going to be seeing minimalism making a comeback and this line has made the minimalist look sexy, classy and chic at the same time.

I thought this print-on-print outfit would look great complimented with colors of orange and pink. Product info below:

FALL WARDROBE REVAMP: DRESSES

The best season of the year is finally upon us, Fall!!! Well, at least it’s my favorite season of the year. For one, the temperature is warm enough that you don’t need to wear a parka (hehe) but cool enough that you're not sweating, or glistening as I like to say, and it’s the best season for hair! I love the fall season most specifically for the clothes: layers, booties and jackets oh my!

The fall season is the perfect time to revamp your wardrobe. I’m kicking off my fall wardrobe revamp series highlighting some of my favorite dresses( below). Check back for pants next…
